A New Grass in Iowa.

An Iowa correspondent of the N. Y.
Tribune mentions the introduction of a
new species of grass into our State, which
he thinks is not grown in any other
State in the Union. The seed originally
came from Hungary, hence the product
is called Hungarian Grass. Cattle are
said to be more fond of it than Blue
Grass, while it will produce two crops per
season, or four tons to the acre. The
writer says he is satisfied that it will take
a position in the agriculture second only
to the corn crop.

As wevere on trip to A,nboy the other
day We learned a few particulars on .
case similar to that in Gotham, which has
created such talk among the elitc-Boker
vs.. coachman. mid. ssa.a fs-s.t.F {
4 1t appears that young man, gained
the undivided confidence Of . lass
Of fifteen summers at Aiaboy; but, as it
hath happened heretofore, the maternal
ancestor of said lass did not approve of
the union, and the young couple being
somewhat alarmed that the course of their
true love would not progress as smooth as
4 run on the Illinois Central Railroad,
deemed it expedient to try the latter.
But, shades OF Cupid and Cupidity the
mother aforesaid had seen too many of
Loves capers to be thus foiled. When
the loving couple found themselves seat
ed in the Gears going SOUTH what was
their surprise to End that "ma' had also
taken passage GU the same train Then
was scene enacted which beggars de-
scription. fs'sa. ~,s& .a.5 ..-r ~
Ma endeavored to persuade this mod
ern Juliet to leave the villainous Romeo;
but no. When moral suasion had proven
faithless "main strength and awkward
ness was brought to bear; but the low
ing couple were bound together by that
inseparable sord-love---and two large
muscular, and two round plump arms.
At all events, the lovers were so strongly
attached that the united strength Of the
old lady and several passengers could not
separate them. After giving her daugh-
ter several severe slaps in face, head,
back, etc, the mother Quoted herself un-
til their arrival at La Sale when the
couple were taken in charge by several
officers of the police--snd that is all we
know about the matter.--Dtron Tele-

Ne W Court House.

New Court House.
We have now received the plans and
specifications for the New Court House,
which are ready for inspection. We
have before given the dimensions and
plan of the building, and now again in
vite the attention of citizens to the plans.
They were drafted by w. L. Carroll of
Davenport, who has no superior as an
architect. The plans speak abundance
Of praise to him. The front and side
views are handsome pictures, and cannot
be exeelled. The whole plan of the
building is excellent, and the specifca-
tions are such as will max splendid
and eommodious building at an extreme
ly low figure. 1t is indeed money saved
for County, Corporation, or even pri.
vatc individuals, to employ competent
architects or superintendent to plan and
draft the buildings, before entering upon
the work of erecting them.

The Fourth Of July.

The Fourth Of July. E-a.s. ag~s
The glorious anniversary Of American
independence is nigh at hand, and to
celebrate this day in becoming manner
we esteem duty upon all American citi-
Gems. With us in Upton some arrange
ments have been made to this end, but
not to the extent it should be. The
Odd Fellows will have celebration on
that day, due notice of which has been
given. In addition to this, the Upton
Guards will be out in full uniform, and
with flying colors. What they will do
'is not yet settled, but certain it is, they
will have general parade, and probably
a picnic festival. They now propose to
have A picnic at the same time with the
Odd Fellows, and to escort them to and
from the festival. ,...-..
