MORE LYNCH Law IN IowA.-THREE
MEN Hume AND One SHoT.-We learn
through the Chicago Press that Judge
Lynch has been again at work. 1t seems
that a gang of horse thieves had been
for some time lurking in the neighbor-
hood of Wapsapinecon river in that coun-
try, and the depredations had aroused
the people to vengeance. a party went
in pursuit, and several of the thieves,
still in possession of stolen horses, were
captured upon an Island in the river.
Judge Lynch at once established his
court for their trial. Two were hung on
the oath. inst, one was hung on the
26th, and a feurth-was shot. One of
those captured had disclosed the names
of the whole gang, and at the last &C
counts the judicial mob were in hot pur-
9 lit of them, th%reain:ng to hang then
also.

THE situation of Kansasis tell unsettled and
Il the great question continues to harrass
and torment the minds of a portion of our citI-
zens. However much people may rack theiI
brains about the solution of that problem.
there is one question that will not admit of a
doubt, and tbat is, that the Ancient Fortress
still remains, the asylum of that portion of ouI
fellow citizens who have sought refuge from
high prices and who love justice, and theright
sort of goods at fair prices for cash, produce
or approved notes on short credit
These facts will be more apparent when we
consider the following reasons:
BECAUSE he has a large and fresh stock OF
beautiful goods.
BECAUSE he has some of the richest silksand
moir antique dress patterns ever
brought to Ashland.
BECAUSE he has some of the most charming
mantillas ofaH the styles now in
vogue.
BECAUSE he has a show case full of brilliant
ribbons and dress trimmings.
BECAUSE he has q gross, more or less, of most
elegant parasols.
BECAUSE he has some of the incest bonnets
for the Spring and summer that
can be found anywhere.
BECAUSE he has a choice lot of carpets at low
prices.
BECAUSE he can SUIT gentlemen in any kind
of goods for their wear from a love
of a cravat to the finest broadclosh.
BECAUSE hecan accommodate families with
Groceries, C~rockery, and almost
everything wanted for house fur
nishing.
BECAUSE he pays the highest market price
for all kinds of produce.
AND LAST OF ALL, though not least, but
one of the greatest Importance to
the purchaser,
BECAUSE he sells his goods LITTLE CHEAPER
than any other establishment in
Ashland county.
REMEMBER, the place is at j. R. SQUIRES'.

The fourth of July was duly celebra-

the moonlight night were lifting from
the,silentworld, the German Band walked
up the slumbering citizensBith strains
of inspiring music a few minutes after
ward the cannon belched forth, Ger hill
and dale, its spirit stirring thunders,
thirteen times, once for each of the thir-

that startled the latent energies of a
wronged and iusulted nation, sent a
thrill of hope and joy into the human

O'Clock the procession commenced form

the German Band a beautiful silk flag.
The presentation was made in behalf of
the ladies by the ReT Mr.. H1LDRETn

VA7E TAKE pleasure in announcing
w to the Farmers and Grass Growers Of
Ashland county, that we have made ample ar
engagements to supply all with this unrivalled
Machine who may favor US with their orders,
the coming harvest.
The points of excellence and incompatible
advantages over other machines consists in the
following:
lst. In hanging the Cutter-Bar to the frame
of the machine by a hinge, or universal joint
so as to allow it of its own accord to accommo.
date itself to the uneven surface of the ground
I'd. Placing the frame of the machine upon
two wheels, either of which is at liberty to ACT
as a driver Independent of the other, whilst
they at the same time can act in harmony with
each other.
Sd. When the machine is moved on a curve
either to the right or left, the knives are kept
in proper motion, hence the danger of clogging
under these circumstances is obviated.
4th. The machine being double geered be-
comes strong and durable.
5th. All the weight of the machine being
placed on the wheels, where it is required to
give power TO the stroke of the knife, it is less
liable to clog and runs easier for the team, while
at the same time all side draught is overcome.
9th. When the machine is moved backward
the knife ceases to vibrale, hence it can at any
moment be moved back as readily as an emp
ty cart.
It'll. 1t requires but a moment to remove the
Cutter-Bar, and, by placing it upon the ma
chine, the whole can be moved from place to
place as readily as a buggy.

Hark the funeral bell tolls sadly,
For poor Irene is dead;
The Lord hath called her early
From earth her spirit fed.
The face that beamed SO lightly
Shines on her friends no more,
The form that played so s~prightly
Is laid on DEATHS dark shore.
The voice that spoke with pleasure
In death is h ushed and still @
The heart that glow'd with kindness
The quiet grave doth fill.
Now friends, though bathed in sorrow
Weep for Irene no more;
For she doth stand an angel
On Caanan's happy shore.
Now she doeth stand on Gods right hand
And all will soon be there
And stand before the judgment seat
There free from every care.
