An Extensive Hoax.
The North Iowa Times published an ar
ticle purporting TO have been written by a
sister of Mrs. Sigourney, in reference to
which correspondent Of the Tribune says
that Mrs. Sigourney has neither sister nor
brother living. - Exchange.
We don't know how many sisters Mrs.
Sigourney may have but we know that the
writer of the article respecting the Sickle's
case, published in the McGregor Times, re-
sides at the village of Fayettc in this coun-
ty, and that she sustains about the same re-
lation to Mrs. Sigourncy that she does to

testimony is decidedly against it. Twenty

are reported starving within so miles Of
Omaha. These stories are both highly i'm
probable. An arrival, at Leavenworth, Of
the Express line Of stages on their first trip
in brought 500 in gold, and repostsd miners

prevented mining to advantage. The new

Domestic.

Domestic. ..-a.-
A pretty girl in Nashville, Tennessee,
was about the house Of married lady so
long that the husband began to prefer her
company to that of his wife. The wife
slyly got sight of Mr. and the young
beauty seated on the parlor sofa together
and indulging in that most friendly and
blissful amusement, kissing! Madame, not
interpreting such evidence of kindness as
consistent with her legal rights, got mad
about it; she hunted up a raw-hide whip,
sprang suddenly into the room and gave the
thoughtless couple an unmerciful thrashing
"a large share Of the girls part Of the bless
ing falling on her lovely face and splendid
shoulders. This feline coup de tat (tansla-
ted tit for tat'' slightly cooled the ardor
which these susceptible children of Love
were laboring under, and MARY Ann left
the neighborhood-th husband has return
cd to his duty.
1t isn't any of our business how domestic
troubles are managed 'down SOUTH and we
have too much respect for the rights Of our
neighbors to find fault with their style of
settling great constitutional questions; but
We arc inclined to think that this sort of
discipline wouldn't be popular up this way.

the above case was driven to this indiscre-

want of sympathy which under the eircum-
stances he must necessarily have felt. A
great many accidents which go to disturb
matrimonial relations result from the indif-
ference and ill-nature of one or the other of
the married parties. When either member
of matrimonial firm demands devotion
from the other as legal right and negiects

Mad Dogs.
Mr.. Enc, from Gutenberg on Monday,
informs us that two children were bitten
a few days ago by rabid dogs in that vicini-
ty. One of the children has since died,
and on Monday morning the Mayor and a
special police force commenced a march
through the city armed with guns on dog
killing excursion. Every dog not tied up
or muzzled was shot-ns respect being paid
to size, quality or ownership.
This is right, and in veiw Of the danger
to which we are exposed by the gangs Of
useless dogs which fill the streets of Nc
Grcgor, we almost wish that the largest dog
owner in town would get bit just little,
50 that wholesome dog-killing excitement
might brek out here. Thus far we have es-
capped the penalty which communities usu-
ally pay for neglect, but in behalf Of the
two or three hundred little boys and girls
Of McGregor we call on Mayor Bass and
the City Senate to attend to this matter
without delay! Don't wait till one Of your
children is taken from you by that most
horrible of all diseases, Hydrophobia.
p. S.-Sincc the above was put in type
we have received an Ordinance on Dogs
which the public will read and govern
themselves accordingly.

The War.
By the City of Baltimore farther war
news was reported though no decisive ac-
ton had taken place. The Emperors of
France and Austria had left their respective
Capitals to command in person or to be
near the head quarters of their forces and
it is probable that the steamer now due will
give accounts of one or more bloody en-
gagements. But however the event of this
European struggle, the people Of Northern
Iowa are much more interested in the i'm
mense stock of Goods which FLANDERS is
just in receipt of. We had the curiosity to
call on F. at his new quarters to see if his
representations were lame in any respect
and we came away convinced that no more
complete assortment and but few larger
ones were ever brought to this City.
His purchases have been made with a
view to Wholesaling as well as Retailing
and hence his staples, such as Teas, Tobac-
cos, Coffees, Sugars, Syrups, Nails, Den
inns, Sheetings, Stripes, Prints, Bleached
Goods, &c. &C., were bought by the wagon
load. An examination of prices convinced
us that it is useless for country Merchants
TO pass this Store for better bargains east.
Flanders has one Of the largest store-rooms
in the place, and his stock will command a
v.ry heavy trade.
