E. g. Bowdoin, Esq, of Rockford in
this County, is talked of by the Re-
publicans as suitable candidate for
the Office of State Senator from this
(the 40th) District. Mr.. Bowdoin is
gentleman eminently qualified for
this Office, and the indications are that
lie will receive nomination for it in
the Republican convention, which is
equivalent to an election. He is a
lawyer by profession /; but being a
capitalist. he has latterIy given more
attention to money matters than to
law, and is probably possessed of grea-
ter financial experience and ability
than any one else in the county, or
perhaps in the District. He is grad
uate of Amherst College, Mass, and
was formerly law partner at that
place with Hon. Edward Dickinson,
late member Of Congress from Massa
chusetts. He is proprietor and one
of the original founders Of the town q
Rockford, and has large investments
in Northern Iowa.

the May number of this interesting

Mason & Hill, at Peoria, III. Price,

the interests of the Odd Fellows fra

support. We find in this number re-
ports of recent celebrations, in various
parts of the Union, of the forticth an
niversary of the founding Of the Or
der in this country, and among them
we especially notice the Grafton at
Washington, Ill.,, by Past Grand Rep
resentative Ii. S. Austin, which is a
very able and praiseworthy produc-
ton. We learn from this address that,
according to the annual report of the
last session of the L. s. Grand Lodge,
the Order during the year had reliev-
cd from distress 90, Isl brothers, and
2,1O5 widowed families. During that
year they had paid for the relief Of
brothers 1924, 992 81, and for the re-
lief Of widowed families S66,6l4 55,
for the education of orphans $ll, 1871,
and for burying the dead S67 1854 70 ;
amount of receipts reported for the
year 81 ,223, 6s5 O3. The expenditures
here reported are merely the legiti-
mate expenditures of the Order under
their laws, in addition to which every

Among these benefactors is DR.. Hostetter, the

no equal for giving tone to the stomach and

Stomach and carries off the morbid matter
there dcpositeded, both speedily and with ease

that no preparation cxtant is as pleasant in its

great remedy for Diarhpa and similar diseases

Lieut.. Governor Fayille.

We received a pleasant visit IRON
Hon. Oran Faville few days since,
and were much pleased to see him
looking 50 well. His business of far
ming, the present spring, appears to
have materially improved his health,
although his old complaint, the asth-
ma, does not wholly forsake him, Al
luding to his withdrawal from polltl-
cal life. he authorized us to publish
his desire not to he considered can
didate for reelection. We had known
for several months that this was his
wish, as expressed to us in letters ana
in private conversation, but we dld
not feel authorized to make a public
announcement of it, and regretted that
others should have done so upon no
more positive authority. But the news
appears to have been seized upon with
ayidity and trumpeted through the
State by interested parties and the
aspirauts for Mr.. Faville's place, es-
pccially in the more southern counties,
appear to be as plenty as blackerrles
in August. Fearing that they will
not succeed, with Governor Lowe also
from the southern part of the State,
they have hit upon the expedicnt OF
pitching him overheard pretending
that the interests of the State require
tho Governor to be taken from a more
central locality!
We believe that Mr.. Favillc could
vet be induced to allow his name to
90 before the Convention for renomi-
nation, were it not that his declIna-
ton has got into the newspapers so
extensively. As it is, giving his con-
sent now would have the semblance
If INDIGESTION and a desire to beg back
ayain. of which he would not be gull
tv. We think the precedent should
be established of clcctinG our State
officers to a second term, especially
when their administrations have been
popular and are so generally commen'
ded as are those of Gov. Lowe and
Lieut.. Gov. Faville. We are fully
convinced that these gentlemen would
be stronger candidates, by far, than
any new ones who can be brought III
to the field. They are both men OF the
strictest integrity, to say nothing O.
their other qualifications, and 1t is o
some account to have honest men II
