MoRreAaEa.-W We have already made
mention Of the fact that the Supreme
Court of Iowa has just rendered decision
to the effect that in cases of foreclosure Of
mortgages, there is no right Of redemption.
Although the statute relating to this sub
ject is ambiguous, it has been generally
construed to authorize redemption within
one year from the time Of sale, and large
numbers of debtors have permitted their
lands to be sold under the belief that this
construction would be sanctioned by the
Courts. A petition tor re.hearing has
been flied; yet, should it be granted, it is
not probable that the material points OF the
decision will be changed.

Shelby Co. The dwelling Of Judge BAnghma'

verely injuring several persons. Mrs. B.
injuries are very great, and doubts are en-

MAD SroNa.-T Rev. Nj. Claghorn
of Covers Ferry, Cedar county, had one {
his sons bitten by mad dog on last Satu,
day, and also the horse upon which the b.
was riding a. the time. Having seen the &C
count which we published a few weeks ag
in the Register of the s'mad stone" in til
possession of Mr.. Evans of Paris in th
county, he Immediately started thither wit
his boy and horse, reaching Marion tn
same evening and Paris early on Sunda
morning. Mr.. O., in common with nearl
everybody with whom he talked befor

after he saw it applied and witnessed it
operation, he returned home satisfied in
great degree that both boy and horse wer
cured. The manner Of applying it is q
follows: The sto is trst soaked in warn
milk and water and then applied to til
wound. In this boys case he represents

the milk and water again-during which
green, offensive scum would arise from tn
stone--it was again applied as before. Ate

more, and Mr.. Evans pronounced him cured
1t was then applied to the wound on tn
horse, to which it adhered three times onl

statement of the facts in the case. 1t seem
to be a TACT we'll attested that this ston
