how sort of Saul.of-Tarsus conversion comes
over some mems politics and utterances
aud awhile. Our readers will recollect that i
few days ago we published some extracts from
a dirty faced little low-Aung paper, called the
Star, published in Misunderstanding With
blockguard ferocity ON the NJ f. Church, North,
some Of the members Of which had recently
been down there. Itsccms this ferocious editor
who is 20 ultra sound on the niger question:
like our friend NayIor, Brooke county candidate
for clerk Of the court, halls from the river,
and communication in the "Chareslon Re.

was connected with a frecsoil paper over there,
before his hegira. Now this slick faced saint
comes over to this side Of the river to tell our
people who they should fellowship in their
churches.

A Word 20 the Hawkeye.

The Burlington HaWkeys is very Sc
fiously exercised upon the subject Of
the gentle kicks which We have ad-
ministered to the Muscatine journal
and other small sized sheets which seem
to take particular pleasure in barking
around our heels. 1t also proceeds with
a long defence Of practice frequently
INDUCED in by itself Of "going to press
without leader" or of entertaining
its readers with an original editorial on
an average about twice week, and
comes to the conclusion that it will
kill an editor, "however talented he
may be-" to furnish an original article
daily.
We regret most seriously if any of
our kicks intended for the benefit OF the
Journal and the other papers alluded
to, have hit the Haukeye, but have
only to say, that if it does not want to
suffer the contempt due to weak and
second rate journals, it must keep out
Of such company.

On Friday last at st. Louis Philip
Roeder, aged about fifty-eight years,

situated about two miles from st.
Louis, near the Gravois road. koeder
on hearing the discordant music, went
out, and with book in his hand, COM
manded the peace, which order was
not obeyed. Waxing wroth, the

appeared with fire arms, which he dis
charged into the crowd, and shot a

AGRICULTURAL PRosrEcN.-Our report.
from all quarters, north south, east, and
west. speak of the promise of the harvest as
something splendid and prodigious. We do
not hear OF a failure in the wheat crop in
any direction. Already the sickle is at
work in many districts, and with few
weeks OF fine weather the stackyards will
be filled with an amount of golden grain
such as they have seldom held, and the
land blessed with plentiful supply of home
growth rarely seen and more rarely sur
posed Most earnestly do we hope for fair
and propitious skies that all this good pro-
mise may be fulfilled. A rich harvest makes
happy and contented pnople 1t is good
for the grower who finds himself repaid bv
the abundance of his crops for all the out
lay o. time and labor and money. 1t is
good Tor the consumer. 1t gladdens the
heart OF the laborer, it fills the cottage with
JOY. And it is good for others beyond the
grower and consumer. The interes of
classes are so bound up together in trading
and commercial country like this, that ali
flourish together and suffer together. We
have indeed, as it were, but one interest AL
though with many branches and subdiyi-
sions. Touch it in any part and every nerve
IN the whole body thrllls and is affected.
We have not doubt. then. that the glorious
harvest upon which We have Just entered
will help greatly to place the trade of the
country on sure and firm basis. tire
moves all distrust on the monetary part of
the question. There will be no sudden rush
upon the banks such as in years of scarcity,
often shakes the trade of the country to its
very foundation. On that part we shall be
guarded against danger. and most the nkful
ought We to be for it.-Emxopean Times.
