February 9, 1858

Some bare-footed thief stole a show-case, full of boots, from the shoe shop of Mr. Twicker, on Washington St., a few days since. The case was taken into the alley near by, rifled of its contents, and left. If the fellow could be caught now, he would probably illustrate the fact that the meanest scoundrels sometimes stand on good footing.

Married.
-At Mt. Pleasant, on the 4th inst., by Rev. Mr. Hare, Thomas S. Mitchell and Miss Sarah S. Parkinson both of this city.
-On the evening of the 2d inst., at the residence of the bride's father, by Rev. W.L. Mitchell, Mr. S. Dwight Eaton, of Keokuk, and Miss Gertrude F. Williams, of Burlington, Iowa.

Died.
In this city on the 5th inst., Charles H. Remick, infant son of David and Martha Remick, aged 7 months and 9 days. A large circle of sympathizing friends mour with these afflicted parents over the loss of their beloved child, but are comforted in the felief of that better immortality upon which he has now entered.
"The lovely bud so young and fair,
Called hence by early doom,
Just came to show how sweet a flower
In Paradise would bloom"
