Axotiieb AVckk.—MeFarland's popular

which time the «ho*t scenes will be pre
sented in the most perfect style.
Shipments, bv rail, from Davenport, for
the week ending May 7th: 5,000 bushels
corn, 4500 bushels potatoes, 800 bushels
w.'a-at, 44" «acks malt, 8,U50 lbs. hide,
4 nno lbs. tallow.
Ji-stOi'e.nkd.—Another lot of those splen
did French and American cassint" res just
opened at Krattsv's, opposite the National
Bank. New suits made to order in the neat
est style on short notice. Gents' furnishing
goods and ready made clothing constantly
on hand.
2d Cavauit.—This veteran regiment re
ports at head ((tiiifters in this city on Satur
day next, and leaves to roVurn to the field
early next week. The boys are eager to-rei
b:n k to take hand at their present pro
fession.
(ins. Steei.e's Division.—This division
seems to have shared the fate of the balance
of tfi'ii. Hanks* command. There is evi
dently something wanting in that Depart
ment, in tl milUry line, tmhnn Jciur
als have it. I yet proved to be to be a good
investment.
Ai'cno* Sale.—Will be sold at public
auction, on Thursday next, at corner of
1'ilh and l'.radv street.-', three dwelling
hou.-es, all in good repair ami ready for «»c
cupancv. Possession given immediately.

ran, Marble Hall Saloon. dts.
Fifth Suekt Improvement.—Contractor
Baker broke ground on Fifth street this
morning, preparatory lo macadamizing, gut
tering and curbing eleven blocks on that
street, commencing at the east side of Iowa
street. By the terms of his contract, Mr.
H:\\er macadamizes from the guttering up
trtKhe ends of the ties of the M. Sc M. Rail
road. The railroad company macadrmiz.es
its road-bed at its own expense. The mac
adamizing, under the contract, extends west
to Warren street, though the right is re
served on the part of the city by giving the
contractor two months' notice to have the
work carried three blocks further—to Mar
qu( ite street. The cost of improving the
distance of eleven Mocks is about $li,oo(.
This aiso includes grading the sidewalks,
but not planking or paving them. The
work is to be done by the lirst day of No
vember next.
As we have heard expressions of wonder
why so much money is being expended on
3th street and none on streets nearer the
river, we take room to state the reason:
The M. & M. Kail road Company, get
permission to run its track along oth
strci*, entered into a contract with the city
to macadamize, gutter and curbetlie street,
and also io lay down the sidewalks. This,
we believe, w as in 1853 or V4. The track
was laid, but the company kept neglecting
to fultlii its contract from year to year, so
in IsjT the City Council entered into an
other agreement with the Company to re
lease it from ils original contract and take
5 «t shares of railrood stocks in lieu of the
wo. k upon the street. These shares were
sold lust winter for $2o,0o0, and the city
authorities as in duty bound are now ex
pending the money nn that street.
Rohhuhy.—Last night about f.
man named .lames Cartwright, a resident
of Ilright.Mi, Iowa, was knocked down in
th-- street by two ruffians and robbed of
$175. lie states that he had been over to
Rock Island to see a friend, and returning
in the evening stopped in at Carter's saloonf
corner of Main and Front street, where he
drinked some beer and smoked some cigars.
"While there two individuals present seemed
unusually anxious to make
his acquaintance.
After a while he got up to go to the I'enn
sylvania House where he was stopping.—
Tlra two men above alluded to stepped out
before him. As he went out he saw them
standing near by, and being alarmed lest
something might be w rong, started up Main
street, taking the middle of the street.
While passing along Third street he was
accosted bv these two men, who knocked

awankd lo Ji hn Monath.
opiliioll, Of sayiug much about the
tive assurance that our brave troops occupy
that city. It will be remembered that the
nearest Richmond ever came to being taken
was at a doiiujnstration in this city ab*ut
tine year ago. A friend of ours assisted in
carrying out that masterly military feat,
which came near winning for himself and
posterity imperishable honors, but so badly
was he cut up when he found tliat his strat
egy was premature, that he has ever since
stood quietly in the lock ground, and ha.s
seldom been known.to say "Richmond," or
to remain in any company where the word
was being used. We trust, however, that
the army massed under (Jen. tiran', and
now moving upon the enemy's works south
of the itapidan, will continue to move on
and still onward, Waring down in its courso,
all opposition, and continue to conquer un
til tin- fi-dcial (i ig floats triumphant over
all, and till the "wayward sisters" each and
all see the error of their ways and consent
lo once more recognize the Constitution as
it is and again restore the Union as it was.
The dispatches, to-day, speak for them
selves. Our readers are as capable of judg
ing from them, when Richmond will be
ours, as we are. It may be a week—a
month —or a year—it may be ours even now
—-may the God of our country grant it.
Iiiriti)VEMKNT.—Among olhtr improve
incuts of a public and private character, we
notice that of our respected fellow citizen,
Edwin Smith, Ksq., who is engaged in put
ting a line dressed stone wall in front of his
rosidence on Urady street, which he pro
poses to surmount with an elegant railing,
which w ill greatly modify the appearand
of things there.
TASTE AXI FASHION.—Ladies of taste will
find at Kutenbaek's, No. 2 LeClaire Row,
tne best selected and most fashionable Ktoclj
of Jewelry ever opened in this citv. Jewel
ry repaired, and engraved in neatest style.
Rings mad'- to order, and watches repaired
