RuN AND MUaDER.-An atrocious butchery
was perpetrated in Tppecanoe township, abou.
three miles from this city on Friday night last.
1t appears that some Irishmen on Section 80 B
4 N. X. T., got into quarrel, and man nam
ed Patrick Mahony was struck on the head with
an axe, and died in few hours afterwards -
The body was buried on Saturday, and the facts
coming to the knowledge Of Judge Edwards,
he proceeded to the scene Of the transaction
and had the body disinterred and an inquest
held, when it was clearly proven that the de-
ceased came to his end from blows struck by
another with an axe. The murderer is at large
and up to this time there has been no effort
made by the authorities for his arrest, although
the warrant was promptly issued. We suppose
the officer is waiting for the murderer to sur
render himself, or until The roads improve!-Mt.

A Model Town,

A writer in the New York Independent has
the following just and truthful notice of the
beautiful village of Denmark, some twenty miles
from this city, in Lee County: @sg4o
During recent visit to the new State of Iowa,
l CHANGED one bright morning to come upon q
neat and charming village, giving evident signs
! OF more than ordinary taste and care among its
| inhabitants. 1t was situated in the midst of a
gently undulating prairie, with timber close ad-
ljaccnt, while the neatly painted buildings &C.
| cupying roomy grounds along the vide avenues,
gave it the appearance Of New England village
| save that here all the buildings were new. My
curiosity was excited, and determined to find
out the history of this settlement. called upon
the Postmaster, gentemanly man of some if
ty winters, who very kindly gave me the follow
| ing interesting facts: The town was first set
tied in 1887 or 1885, and among the first settlers
| who came hither was my informant and his fam
lily, who came from the old county of Hampden,
| IN Mass. The name of the town is Denmark, in
Lee Co., Iowa. The present population is about
one thousand--almost entir,l " devoted to agri-
I culture. The village at the centre of til. town
contains some fifty buildings generally enclosed
behind substantial fences; among these are two
handsome churches, one academy, three stories
high, two good Country stores, village school
houses, &c. One of the churches is Congre-
gationai one, having over two hundred men,
bers; many of them young people. They have
recently introduced Mr.. Beecher's Plymouth
Hymns, with view of encouraging congrega-
tional singing. The Baptist church contains
from thirty to forty members. Both are in an
enterprisiug and spiritual state. The Academy
contains about one hundred scholars OF both sex
es. There are two steam Touring mills in the
town; they have seven school districts, each
with good school.house of either wood, brick,
OF, stone. The town has paid out eleven thou
sand dollars for public buildings. There come
to this town sixty copies of the New York
| Weekly Tribune, eight of the N. Y. Independent
twenty of the National Era eighteen of the Con-
gregational Herald, eighteen of the Christian
Press, twenty of the Scientific American. In
all, weekly and monthly publications. four hum
dred and sixty.eight. Jag" .s-. a=g.s 1a
In all the twenty years since this has been a
town. it is not known that the first gallon of Ii
quor. of any sort was ever sold within its limits.
At the recent Presidential election, the vote
stood thus: Buchanan 10; Fillmore 10; Free
mont 40; Total l6O. Until we have an ac-
count of some place more favored than this, we
shall claim for Denmark the title of the "Nodet
