Where is Roderiego p she asked in
agitation.
"Perfdious female woman, behold -

DlARRHGA.-People need not be long
troubled with that disorder SO generally
prevalent at this season, commonly known
as the Summer or Bowel Complaint, when
the certain remedy therefor is to be found
on every mans dinner table in the shape
of salt and vinegar. Two tea.spoonfuls of
the former dissolved in half a gill of the
latter, and swallowed at draft, will in
most cases effect an instant cure. The
second dose, if needed. will assuredly &C.
complish it. We are ready to give our

To DRIVE AWAY RATs.-Some years
since, a correspondent of the Boston Cul.
tivator recommended potash for the pur-
pose. The rats troubled him very much,
so that he felt justified in resorting to ex.
treme measures to effect their expulsion
from his premises. He pounded up potash
and strewed it around their holes and
rubbed some under the boards and on the
sides where they came through. The next
night he heard squealing amongst them,
which he supposed was from the caustic
nature of the potash that got among their
hair and on their bare feet. They disap-
peared, and for long time he was exempt
from any further annoyance. If this rem
edy is etfcacious, the citizens of Sioux
City can use it to good advantage.

be taken for granted that the following
testimony from the Dewitt Clintonian, .
republican paper published at the county
seat of the county in which the Democrat.
ic candidate resided and has resided for
years, is Of more value than the opinions
Of papers at distance, which speak from
ignorance or malice.
Hon. WIN. Z. LEFFISGwELL.-Many of
our democratic patrons and friends have
remarked that they EXPECT we will cast
our vote and influence in favor of Hon.
Vim. E. Leflingwell, the Democratic nom-
inee for Congress. No man in Iowa, has
stronger personal claims on our support,
than the Democratic nominee for Congress.
During our residence in the State, we have
been on terms Of intimacy with the Judge,
and have ever found him an honoroble,
upright, able and Jealous advocate of what
he deemed to be the right. Possessed of
a social nature and giant intellect, he
has rendered himself deservedly popular
wherever he is fami!iarly known, and in
opposing MIN for Congress we are not
fighting against the man.

An acquaintance who lived near her DOM

which laid eggs, bought a pig for $l25,
