Our State
- A little son of John Seider, of Davenport, aged eight years,
disappeared on Saturday last, and although diligent search has been made for
him he cannot be found.
- Miss Maria Baker, of Toledo, Tama county, was thrown from a buggy
last Tuesday and had one of her limbs broken.
- RETIRED - Mr. Mitchell has retired simultaneously from the
Oskaloosa Watchman and from political life. He is succeeded by Capt. James
A. Seever who accepts the position as he says, on account of his ill health.
He says he he is going to advocate the reduction of "salarys," and the
reduction of the number of "revenew" officers. The Captain is in a good
business; and we wish him all manner of success, hoping, however, that he
will consult Webster's Dictionary occasionally, as it is a useful teacher of
English orthography.-State Register.
- The residence of H.S. Compton, Esq., six miles north of Muscatine,
was destroyed by fire on Sunday morning last.- Loss $7,000; insured for
$2,500. So says the Journal.
- The Twentieth Iowa infantry, when last heard from, had arrived at
Pensacola, Florida, from New Orleans.
- Wm. Hall, late of the 11th Iowa has been confined to his room by
paralysis for three months or more.
- The McGregor News is out in favor of Ex-Governor Kirkwood for the
vacant Senatorship.
- Capt. E.T.S. Schenck, of Muscatine, last Commissary of Subsistence
of the 15th Army Corps, has been promoted to Inspecting Commissary with rank
of Colonel and assigned to duty at Chicago.
- Col. Add. H. Saunders lies very ill at Davenport with typhoid
fever.
- The Dubuque Times says last Sunday afternoon a party of five
persons were crossing the "Dry Run" bridge, a half mile south of Cedar
Falls, in a wagon. When they reached the center of the bridge it gave way,
and all went in the swollen stream. Two of the party, John McKullin and Miss
Magavrey, both residents of Cedar Falls, were drowned. The three others were
rescued. The horses were carried with the stream,and were also lost.
- By the accidental discharge of a rifle in the hands of his son, a
daughter of Wm. Veerson of Marion county was shot in the ankle a few days
since. The Blade says an old lady was also injured by the same cause.
- Ira C. Mitchell preached a few Sabbaths ago at Montezuma, and the
Republican takes occasion, very properly, to say the teachings of that ?
copperhead are not orthodox, and will not be received by thinking men.
Mitchell appears to not have the confidence of his fellows, and consequently
must fail in all Theological pursuits. The idea of a Copperhead attempting
to preach the gospel!
- Mr. Tomas Ramsey, an old citizen of Mt. Pleasant, died very
suddenly of congestive chill, Thursday of last week.-Mt. Pleasant Journal.
- Mr. Eddy, a farmer residing near Mt. Pleasant sold his farm last
week for $5,000, the purchaser paying him $3,000 in hand. A few nights after
his house was entered and the entire amount stolen. So says the Journal.
