Farmers.


As class these are the m st imp~ovi
dent workers in existence. They are used
to compliments we know, but they must do bet
ter before We will puff them. They waste
enough annually by neglect 10 make the coun
ty rich. Instead Of providing an abundance Of
Straw, Corn fodder, Hay, TJrnips, Carrots and
such cheap food for their stock they work the
cattle and horses poor to raise it all and then
refuse TO lay up a sufficient store for the COM
fort Of the brutes through the cod winter of
this northern climate. Worse than that, nine
out of ten of these .lords of the soil' will waste
the bright balmy days of September and Octo
Der in running over the country after deer or
an elk or stump politician and leave their
| cattle, sheep and hogs to run their chances of
freezing in the biting blasts of an outdoor
January, when day or two of labor, would
put up sheds or straw barbados that would be
a heaven to their beasts through the winter and
make them worth 50 per cent more in the
spring. Farmers all know this and generally
they mean to be kind to the unreasoning crea.
lures around them, but it is I m Melancholy fact
that those who derive Their wealth most direct.

most careless in exhibiting that practical aparc-
citation of her kindness which should induce
them to see that no one OF her domesticated
useful creatures should suffer.
Build houses of straw, stalks or poles for the
COW that feeds your children and do not have
the meanness to ask Cherry or Star or B.indle
to give you morning pail of milk when she

Our belief in universal salvation undergoes
decided change when we pass farm-yard
without protection for cattle.

New Mail Routes.

New Mail Routes.
NJ. BELL, Z. NJ. at Frankviile, Informs us
that Post Route has been established from
Nezcka ria of Ion, Buckland, Volney and
Cleveland in Allamakce County, 10 Frank VILE
and that semi-weekly service will be commenc
cd on it this fall
The p. NJ. at McGragor is advised Of the
establishment of two Post Routes from Nc
Gregor to ST. Charles City, in Floyd County
the routes are identical almost and the P. Mas
ter here as we II as the p. NJ. at st. Charles, has
advised that but one line be run aud Daily scr
Giard, Monona, Postville, Calmar, Ossian, Fl
Atkinson Jacksonville, North Washington t.
st. Charles. .4t
There are two routes also from McGregoI
sou'h-westerly, one 10 terminate ut Manchester
and the other at Independence. Both are to
be run by Elkader and Volga City. The indie.
rendence route only has been recommended
from this office and Tri-weekly service asked
for. Tina present Post Offices on the line are
Farmersburg, Elkader, Volga City, Taylors-
vile, Buffalo Grove, to Independence.
Congress has also established post route
from McGregor to Owatonna in Minnesota, and
suggestions requested from this office. As yet
the p. Master here has leaned nothing of the
nature or importance of the Owatonna line and
no report has been made to the Department in
relation to it. This route will be very valuable
to Southern Minnesota in the winter at least,
and it is the intention OF the writer to give it
such representation as may be justified by
truth a1d called for by necessity. We want
all the mail facilities we can get in the west
and our modesty shall not stand in the way of
asking for government favors.
The p. NJ. at St. Charles, Mr.. Stanley, was
here one day last week and he reports much
anxiety on the part Of the people of the Cedar
country to make mail connections with Nc
Gregor instead of with Dubuque. A route
from st. Charles to Mason City, Clear Lake
and Algona is reported to Mr.. Stanley. The
p III. at Taylorville was here last week and he
expresses equal anxiety in that quarter to con-
meet with us. In few weeks we shall probably
be authorized to receive bids for such service
as may commence at this point. Due notice
will be given Of this to our readers.

Condemned Guillck Of Dubuque is
condemned TO be hung publicly ON the 29th
October for shooting his wife. Judge Wilson
in pronouring the dreadful sentence exhibited
arare combination of the judicial officer and
the man of feeling-we like Wilson better
than ever since rerusing his remarks on this
melancholy occasion. Guillick was born in
Ireland 1919. He insists that his wife at
tempted in kindness to take his pistol from
him and it went off accidentally. and killed
her. He was drunk poor fellow, and in all
probability was incapable of such deed when
sober. a motion has been made for a new
trial.

A Mis,Sta.ement The following paragraph,
we perceive, is going the rounds of our COUNT v
exchanges
"FARE.-The Newhall House now charges
$3.50 per day for board"
1t is untrue that the fare has been raised at
the Newhall House. The charge for board is
$2,Oo per day, as advertised, and this is consid-
cred very reasonable for house kept upon
such scale. Those of our exchanges that have
given currency to the above statement, in JUS
tiee to the Newhall, should make this correc-
tion.-Ma. Sentinel.

Chess-The whole country is becoming
chess-y. Morphy's games with lowenthal of
London are watched with much anxiety by hosts
of American readers. So far as heard from
eight games ha, e been played, Mo,phy winning
flee, Lowenthal two and one dra,on The win
ner of the first nine games draws the money.
The chances are that about Is games will be
played, NJ will have 9, and L. and two
will be drawn-chances are not good to bet
on however. Morphy is highly spoken of by
English papers for his GOODNESS, good-humor,
boldness in play and surprising ability. The
battle between Stanton and M. for $3.50 a
side is not definitely arranged and it may
blow over altogether.

horses, several having been lost at Muscatine.
1t is farther asserted that the rust is made Of
myriads of living creatures visible only by mi
croscopic agency. We are sceptic enough to
doubt both Stories first because horse is re-
markably nice in his taste and will not eat fill
thy, sinking, poisonous food, and secondly we
think oat rust and wheat rust are identical and
both are simply the oxydization, if it may be SO
understood, of the stalk by the chemical action
of rain and heat. The idea of rust being made
of bugs, is a humbug.

John G. Bishop.-Tl,is somewhat notorious
Land thief and forger Of deeds, in Mitchell
county was recently arrested by three men
from Cero Gordo. Bishop was poorly dressed
and proposed 10 be going to Usage to remove
his family to Missouri. The three Cerro Cor
dons waited OH him towards Usage, but Bishop
continued to elude their vigilance and made
good his escape. A large reward had been
offered for his apprehensions by Chicago par
ties whom he had victimized. His transactions
are said to cover 100000 worth of land.

Music-The Boats have almost all adopt
ed the pleasant system Of saluting the landings
with soul-stirring music. Bands have fine
effect too in decoying passengers on board.
But music from the deck ofa steamer in day
time bears no comparison to the dulcet strains
with which Charlie Nc, and ourselves were
serenaded few nights ago. The young gen
tlemen who did us the honor to awaken us
from an internal dream about "out of copy

kindest regards for the welcome songs that
interrupted an unpleasant slumber.

fruit something like a cabbage leaf dressed

with the large and clumsy bonnets they have
been using for the last three years

A white frost was visible ut McGregor on the
morning of Saturday but it did no harm--we
have seen, on one occasion, a hard frost in Indi-

of cool weather now will probably ensure US a
long, pleasant, warm fall season.
