REMOVED. – Mr. J. F. Newbern has removed his jewelry store from his old stand to the next square above, occupying the same store with Mr. Rowe, next to Mrs. Knotwell’s millinery.
WADSWORTH has just received another fine lot of bleached table damask, white brilliants, plain and plaid jaconet, cambrics, plain and plaid wainsooks, plain and dotted Swiss muslins, black silks, napkins, and he is bound to sell them cheap. Call at No. 29, West Second street, before you purchase.
FINE PICTURES. – Mr. J. N. Cook, who occupies the rooms formerly used for daguerrean purposes by Mr. Adams, on Brady, below Third street, is now taking beautiful pictures. Those of infants he has taken, we never have seen excelled. He transfers them so quickly that he catches them in any attitude they may assume.
THE CONTINENTAL MONTHLY. The April number of this sound literary and political magazine has been received, and is filled with its usual variety of choice reading. The war in Missouri; Beaufort, past, present and future; General Lyon; The True Interests of Nations, are among some of the papers it contains that allude more particularly to the war now distracting our country.
ARRESETED. – A slightly ‘tight’ individual made himself conspicuous in front of J. C. Todd’s store yesterday morning, haranguing a group of draymen and others collected on the corner. Constable Teagarden and Officer Brown conducted the gentleman to jail; he was subsequently fined $3 and costs by Justice Wheeler. A woman was sent up for thirty days yesterday, for vagrancy.
THE SALE OF HORSES was not so productive yesterday as the day before. Thirty-seven of the animals were sold, at about an average of $47. The lowest price paid was $36. The sale was adjourned till Saturday morning, at 11 o’clock. Eight of the animals have been reserved, and all will then be sold. There is no doubt they will be sold at a bargain, and those wanting horses should not fail to be in attendance. The whole amount received yesterday was $1,785.
ATLANTIC MONTHLY. – The April number of this popular periodical has been received, and like its predecessor is filled with choice literature. We are pleased to learn that this magazine has not shared the unfavorable influence which the war has had upon literature generally. Since the beginning of the year more than 10,000 copies have been added to its circulation – a result at once highly satisfactory to its conductors and gratifying to the lovers of literature.
THE RIVER. – The ice stopped running night before last before 10 o’clock, and remained so till yesterday noon. During the afternoon it started, and went two or three hundred yards. The river is filled with ice all the way from the bridge to the point below Rock Island. Below the latter place the river is believed to be clear to St. Louis.
The Northerner will be here to-day, if she can get through. It appears she did not turn back, as was reported. She is bound to be the first boat here, so they say. The Fred Lorenz and W. L. Ewing left St. Louis last Monday, for this place. The Hawkeye State would soon follow.
CHARGE OF SEDUCTION. – Considerable talk was caused around town yesterday by the report that a young man of considerable prominence in our city had been arrested on a charge of seduction. This report, unlike many others afloat, happened to be true. The individual in question was arrested by Constable Teagarden yesterday morning, and taken before Justice Blood, on a charge of seducing a girl who had been employed in one of our hotels for the last two years. On the examination the complainant swore positively to the guilt of the accused, and her late employer testified to her general good character. No corroborating testimony as to the accusation, however, was introduced, and the accused was released. The attorney from Muscatine county appeared for the prosecution, and Messrs. Dow and True for the defense.
THE NOMINATING CONVENTION at the Court House, to-morrow afternoon, should not be lost sight of in the multiplicity of other matter attracting attention just now. All the city offices, except that of Police Magistrate, are to be filled at the coming election. In order to the more completely insure a continuance of Republican rule in the city, good candidates should be brought out for all these offices, and in this work all Republicans should assist. A word to the wise is sufficient.
As for candidates, the political cauldron is boiling over the Marshalship, for which office four or five aspirants are already named. Marshal McNeil, E. W. Baker, J. L. Reed, W. B. Kerns, and one or two others, are proposed for the office of Marshal and Collector. For Clerk, Mr. Mittelbuscher is the only candidate we have heard mentioned. Mr. French will probably be renominated for Mayor without opposition, – the people being generally satisfied with the manner in which he has discharged his official duties. With some good man on the ticket for Treasurer, an excellent ticket can be made out of these materials, and with judicious selections for Aldermen in the different wards, that “Union” ticket won’t stand a ghost of a show.
THROWN OUT OF A WAGON. – Yesterday noon, as a wagon containing two ladies was crossing the ditch corner of Perry and Third streets, the back seat on which they were sitting gave way, precipitating the ladies into the street, so that they struck on their head and shoulders. They were at once carried into Mr. Prettyman’s house and a physician summoned. Fortunately no bones were broken and they escaped without much injury.
ANOTHER. – A colored man named William Thomas was thrown out of a wagon in front of Mr. Warwick’s barber-shop Wednesday afternoon, and a wheel passed over the side of his body. He picked himself up, only slightly hurt. William is a contraband, lately from the Cherokee nation, and speaks very little English. He lives with Mr. Vanderzee, in the lower part of the town.
VEGETABLE AND FLOWER SEEDS. – We direct attention to the advertisement of Mr. H. A. Deer, florist, Chesnut street, Philadelphia. Having tried his flower seeds, we know them to be fresh and as he represents them. Those who order from him can depend upon getting fresh seed and such as they order.
MARRIED.
On the 27th inst., at Mrs. Proudfoot’s by Rev. J. D MASON, Mr. EDWARD LOGAN, of Iowa city and Miss JENNIE JOHNSTON, of this city.
DIED.
March 25th, at 9 o’clock P. M., JULIUS, aged 4 years, son of JOHN J. and ELIZABETH OLSHAUSEN.
Funeral this afternoon at 1 ½ o’clock from Dr. Olshausn’s residence, 152 West Third street.
