MAD DOGS.

We learn that mad dogs are becoming
fearfuHy numerous in Lee county, par.
ticularly in. the neighborhood of Yves,
Point. where several persons, and a large
number of animals have been bitten. A
young man from that neighborhod called
upon us a day or two since with this in
formation, and enquired if we could tel
him where he might find a "mad slone.'
In default of any knowledge on this lat.
ter subject, we directed him to DIR. G.

father, which has been handed down

with persons who have been personally
cognisant Of numerous cases in which
.thisreDedy has been entirely successful
lin Fact it is said to have never. failed
and we therefore feel il a sort Of duty
TO notify the public where they may find
a sure cure for this most horrible of the
maladies. DR.. Marchand, though com
paratively a young man, is a retired ply.

1owA.-On the first page of to days
paper will be found an interesting article
from the IoWa Farmer, on the "General
Features OF the State of Iowa." In the
main the statements in this article are
correct, butte one viz: "'Thal the river
bottoms are generally unhealthy" we
must undoubtedly demur. Il may be
true of the low bottoms on the Mississip
pi, but no people in the State, and indeed
we may say in she Union, enjoy better
health generally than those living on the
Demoi.e. This may easily be account.
ed for from the lactihat the bottom lands
of the Demoine are generally dry and
sandy, and that the sloughs which 30
often mar the beauty and ruin the health
on the Mississippi are not to be found
here. As the Farmer says. the "De.
moine Valley will soon become one en-,
tire garden SPOT and will be as noted
for the Usefulness OF its climate as it is
for its richness of soil.

NEXT MONDAY

Settles the question as to whether we
shall have a Prohibitory Liquor Law or
the inefficient law now on the Statute
books. We regard this question as one
of the most momentous and important
that has ever been presented TO the vo-
tiers Of this State. The question Of per.
sonal or political rights has nothing at all
to do with it. The question is a moral
one, and as such, the decision upon i,
will either accomplish great good or
work great injury.
That the traffic in intoxicating drinks
is causing ruin, starvation, death, MUIR
der, and thousands of other evils in our
land no one can, indeed no one will dare,
deny. Then why not dry up the foun-
tain from whence proceeds this fell des.
troyer? Do not let any false notions "a
bout personal liberty or individual rights
deter you from doing what you know to
be your duty. II the retail of liquor
does harm to your neighbor and the
community in which you reside, how
can you reject this law. and fail or refuse
TO put forth your hand 10 raise up the
down-trodden and deluded i~nebria.e!
There are many reasons why you
should vote for this law, which had we
time and space we should like to give;
but We have room for but a few. The
lst. Is that all legislation hitherto a.
dopted for the protection of the people
. from the evils of In,emperance has been
false in principle and utterly insufficient
for it's great object.
End. The Prohibitory Liquor Law
meets the e~xigencies of the State, and
furnishes the protection which the PEG.
pie require at the hands Of Legislation
from the traffic Of Intoxicating drinks.
Bird. This law is not a mere matter OF
theory; it has had the test OF experience.
4sh. The law meets the appreciation
of thousands of the wise and good as
opening a new era Of peace and thrift to
society.
9th. The law is perfectly consistent
with our Constitution and government,
and is without reasonable exceptions in
all its bearings upon human rights.
9th. The adoption and faithful exc.
cution Of this law by the State of Iowa
would soon remove the greater portions
of its intemperance with Its frightfuland
uncomfortable evils, and secure an amour,
of order, peace, private and public .hrirl
no q a estimate.
Then. why not vote for it? Temper
ance men the result is with you. Be a,
the polls early and late. Do your duty
and Iowa will be freed from the curse OF
Intemperance.
