A new and beautiful map of Linn

DTrcHING MAcHINE.-The Musca-
tine Journal, speaking Of a new ditch
ins machine recently received at that
place, says it is huge affair and will
take several yoke of oxen to haul it.
The "ditcher" is contrivance which
makes small sewer three feet under
the ground, leaving the earth to close
over it after the machine passes.-
1t will be tested on the farm of Mr.
Weed, and if found practicable will
prove a valuable innovation to this
part of the country. The ditching i.
done by windlass power.

On the l4th inst, says the Butler
county Transcript, the grain stacks Of
Mr.. Felix Landes of Coldwater town
ship, were burned. Supposed to be
the work Of an incendlary.
The Cerro Gordo Press of the 18th,
says it is reliably informed that the
negro colony at Spirit Lake now
numbers twenty-one negroes, and
many more are expected to arrive
there soon.
The Maquoketa Sentinel says that
the Bridge across the Maquoketa river
at Bird dgeport, short distance below
Maquoketa, is bound to come down.
When this is accomplished boats will
run to Maquoketa without any trouble.
The Minne-hs-ha and keshena are
running on that river.
The same paper states that lot of
Jackson county orders were sold by
the Sheriff, week before last, up in
Farmerscreek township, and the very
highest figure they would bring was
forty five cents on the dollar.

that cannot be too heartily recon-

There is an abundance Of high literary

auce in such work !; aLd with Mr..

antee is afforded that the work will

But will the Gazette, now while in
the humor Of informing the ignorant,
condescend to instruct us little fur

We wish to know who paid the

Was it mailed from Washington City
Aud the large numbers Of the speech
which have been distributed to the
faithful at this poiut-where we're they

postage
We have good authority for saying
that no less than forty-four copies Of
this production were received at one
small post Office, through the mails, at

from this data, our neighbor, who is SO
good in figures, can OF course arrive at

have been, if charged At newspaper

whether this be correct.
There are a great many other mat
ters concerning this speech and its
author which we shall, from time to
time, present to our readers but space
will not admit OF more at present.
The simple question may be asked,
how one so anxious for economy in
the public expenses, as Senator Harlan
would have us believe him to be, can
thus violate the law to make the ex-

A CURIOUS LOVE SToRY.-Says the
Easton Q'a.) Aryus: First love, the
world generally admits, is always the
most sincere. An instance illustrating
the truth Of this recently came to our
knowledge, which is worth repeating.
Forty-five years ago, young man
named Paterson, served his appren-
ticeship at the printing business, in the
Office of Christian Jacob Hunter of
this place. While in his employ he
became interested in young lady of
our town, and proposed marriage. He
was accepted but the mother Of the
girl opposed the match and broke it
of. After finishing his trade, he went
to one of the Southern States and
married sister of the Hon. John NJ.
Clayton, former United States Senator
from Delaware. After having two
children, his wife died and left him a
widower.
He then emigrated to Coaada West,
where he became quite wealthy and
prominent man, and filled the office Of
County Recorder, q life appointment,
at Guelph. There he married . Sec
ond time, and became q second time
widower. Last summer he passed
through Easton, on his road to Wash
iugton, where his daughter was at
school; and while there made inquiry
after the sweetheart Of his younger
days. Ascertaining that she was .
widow, and residing in Philadelphia,
he called upon her, renewed his &C.
quaiutancs. and after more than forty
years separation, again proposed mar
riags to her, and was accepted. He
was to have come on here this very
week 70 b married, but was taksn
suddenly siek about ten days ago, with
. attaek Of plsusisy, and died after :
abort illneas. A tew days bsloso As
