REMEMBER the nominating convention this afternoon. Candidates for important offices are to be balloted for, and every Republican who can spare the time should be at the Court House.
WARD NOMINATIONS. – We publish this morning calls for the 4th and 6th Ward nominating conventions to be held on Monday evening. It is about time the other wards were moving. Will their committees attend to this?
INDEPENDENT MEETING. – The German voters are called upon to meet this evening, independent of party, at Lahrman’s Hall, to take into consideration city politics and probably the nation generally. We’ll keep an eye on it.
NATIONAL ARMORY. – We are indebted to Le Grand Byington, Esq., for a copy of the Report of the Special Committee appointed to inquire into and report upon the expedience of establishing a National Armory west of the Alleghany Mountains.
THE inquiring public are informed that we know Mr. Sanders wits neither drunk nor mad on Wednesday. His recommendation to hang the traitor Phillips was written during his sober and rational moments. – Democrat.
Mr. Richardson was either mad or drunk when he wrote the above.
KEHOE & CARHART’S New York Store have now on hand a full stock of domestic goods; also linen and wool table covers, linen towelings, embroidered curtain muslins, Also a large stock of prints, dolaines, bleached and brown muslins, linen bosoms. They have just opened a fresh lot of the ‘Imperial Clasped Hoop Skirts.’
SORGHUM REFINERY. M. D. L. Dutcher commenced yesterday hauling stone preparatory to erecting a building for the purpose of a refinery for sorghum syrup. He has located it on the river some five or six miles below this city. We understand that a party has it in contemplation to erect a similar establishment within our city limits. It will require several small establishments to refine all the crude syrup that would seek this point, if it were known that the proper facilities were here offered for that purpose.
DOGS. – Owners of dogs will consult their own interest and benefit community generally by permitting the quadrupeds of the canine species to run at large without check or muzzle, on and after the first of April. This is particularly desirable, as the laws forbid the shooting of game at this season of the year, and we have several marksmen who are anxious to try their skill, and the ordinance prohibiting shooting within the corporate limits is to be suspended as a speciality for the space of sixty days. Read the Mayor’s proclamation to that effect.
THE RIVER is still filled with floating ice. Thursday night the main body of the ice moved down and gorged at the point, leaving the middle of the river quite clear in front of town. A large portion of the ice took the unusual route by the slough inside of Maple Island, crowding the [Ad] Hine out on the island. Capt. Galt has been to great trouble cutting out his boat, so as to have her ready when the river should open. This unfortunate occurrence will delay her departure, if she isn’t knocked to pieces by the accumulating ice. The Wm. L. Ewing arrived at the Point early yesterday morning, but unable to get further, turned back down the river, - The Fred Lorenz arrived at Muscatine yesterday, and is expected to arrive here today.
ARCHITECTURAL. – We saw in Mr. W. T. Carroll’s office a day or two ago, the plan for an entire block of stores on the square opposite the post office. The plan divides the front on Second street into twelve stores, and on Brady into nine. Each of the former will be 25 by 90, and the later about 23 by 90. – The building will be three stories high, built of brick, with store fronts of iron and glass, and iron caps to the windows above. The whole block is to be finished uniform. In the center of each half block on Brady street will be a grand stair-case, leading to the upper floors, which may be used for offices. In the rear of the stores, on Commercial street, it is proposed to erect shops 18 1-2 by 46 feet, and two stories high. There are six of these on each half black. If the building should be erected according to this plan, and it has been approved by Mr. G. L. Davenport, the block will add very much to the architectural beauty of our city. We understand it is proposed to lease the ground to parties who will put up buildings in accordance with the plan, and some stand ready to do so as soon as the owner’s consent is obtained; and work may be commenced the coming season.
JEWISH SYNAGOGUE. – Rev. Dr. Loewenthal, late of Buffalo, N. Y., has arrived in this city, and is to take charge of the Jewish Congregation lately organized in this city. The meetings are held every Saturday in the hall in Forrest’s block, corner of Third and Perry streets.
