It is in contemplation, to have an excursion of the officers, bondholders, stockholders and invited guests of the Chicago and Keck Island Railroad Company, the party to meet in Chicago on the 5iU of June, and proceed by Rail Road to this city, and Iby boat to Galena and Jt. PauL One of our best pnekets has been engnged for the occasion. The idea is a good one, and we hop it will be carried out, as or iginally planned. Few of the eastern men who are assisting to build our railroads have an adequate idea of the vast extent of country on which those r.oads open, the moment lliey touch the great connecting thoroughfare, the Mississippi. A trip to the Falls of St.

Anthony by steamboat will give them a faint idea, and indeed but a faint one, of what they are so much interested in knowing. CfSfQn last Monday the beauty and chivalry of our neighboring cities of Rock Island and Davenport, was largely represented here by a pleasure' parly from those places. They stopped at the O2I1- vie House, took supper, tripped the "light fantastic'' for a season, and then, started back. The whole company, some forty couple, seemed in the enjoy ment of excellent spirits. It ii a matter of regret to the youn people of our city that they had no notice-of the intended visit.

If they had, they would have ta bored to "do the agree able" to our neighbors. JMuscatine En quirer. tveuid have a ciipHal time, and all were delighted with your beautiful ciry. It was our first visit, and pretty much all we know about the place was the hay, wheat, and onion controversy between the Muscatine paper and the Davenport Ga- zttte. We were agreeably surprised to find a large and beautiful City possessing all the elements of a great and prosperous place.

We very much "regret" (Madam mus'nt hear this) that wecould'nt see the "beauty" of Muscatine but we had not time to send word we were coming, for we di4 not know it ours el? till we stepped on board the boat. Never mind, our big Tremont House will be open in a weeks, and we in-" vile the "beauty and chevalry" of Muscatine to come up then, and have a "regular time." We'll endeavor to "show you what kind of trees make shingle." What say, you'll come won't you? Of course you will and- "long may it wave." tsjj We have been favored with de lightful and refreshing rains during the past Week. The country presents a charming appearance now, and the pros pects of eood crops were scarce ever bet ter. Choi.eha. Wliile at me last Week, we were told that the cholera was raging terribly in Rock Island We ask ed our informant how he knew the fact, and he said he sa it stated in some paper, (he thought the paper was printed at Ce dar Rapids) that Ih inhabitants of Rock -Island were dying at the rate of forty or fifty a day, of Cholera.

Now be it known to all the world and the rest of mankind, that there has not been a case of cholera'" among our citizens this vearf There har been a few deaths not to exc eed four or five, of persons left here ly the boats, who hada drarrhcea or resembling cholera. That is all. Our city is in a very healthy condition; the city authorities are vigilant and determined that nothing shall be left undone on their part to keep it so; there are no nuisances about town, no pools of stagnant water, no heajjfc of fermenting manure, no hogs in the streets, and we challenge a comparison with any ci'y east or west, north or south, of the size and business of ours, for l.ealth, neatness and cleanly appearance, or beauty of location.
