The Coming Fair. F%


Mr.. Editor:-As the time when the Cc-
dar Valley Agricultural and Mechanical, As
sociation hold their fair is near at hand, per-
haps few suggestions to the patrons of the
Association will not be out of place. /
Make your entries early. The books will
be open next Monday, Sept 10, and will be
open from that time until 4 o'clock p. NJ, of
the first day of the Fair when, Gas will be
seen by the Rules ana Regulations of the
Association they will Positively be closed.
By making your entries early, you are more
apt to get them classed correctly. You can
make you Entries week beforehand, and
then when you come to the Fair all you have
to do is to bring your Stock, Vegetables,
&C., and deliver them to the Superintcndents,
then go and see what others have brought,
which is much better than standing half an
hour in a crowd, waiting to get up to the
Sccretary's Office, in order to make your en-
tries. ,Iasgr Gfa@g
Bring what you have got to show, without
first waiting to see if any one has something
better than yourself. That has been too
much the way heretofore. Persons would
come and look about, and think that they
had something better at home than. any on
the ground, and off they would go to get it,
thinking that If it was on,thc ground by II
o'clock A. NJ, of the last day of the Fair, thai
they were all right. Look at the Rules and
Regulations, and you will see that all articles
which compete for premiums, mast be on til.
ground by ha!f past 8 o'clock, on the 2d day
Of the Fair.
Bring your horses, cattle, sheep hogs
grain, vegetables, butter, cheese and flowers
domestic manufactures, &C., &C. Itcosts nc
more to make twenty entries than one. You
can bring your articles on the first day Of
the fair, and they will be just as safe ON the
ground as at home.
The grounds are fenced With atight board
fence; good stables and pens are being built
fodder and grain will be plenty on the ground.
An efficient police will be in attendance, day
and night. Come one, come all, and let us
have the biggest and best Fair ever held in
Northern Iowa. -r-~ ,.r,,l, ,r. ~.
Last year there were nine hundred and
twenty entries. Let us make it fifteen hum
dred this year. ~ af19 T.

Beginning w ell.

Too many are impatient of results
They are not satisfied to begin where
their fathers did, but where they left off.
They think to enjoy the fruits of in
dustry without working for them. They
cannot wait for the results of labor and
application, but. .forestall them by to early
indulgence. A worthy Scotch couple,
when asked how their son had broken
down so early in life, gave the following
explanation: "When we began life to-
gether we worked hard, and lived upon
porridge and such like, gradually adding
to our comforts as our means improved,
until we were able at length to dine off
a bit of roast meat, and sometimes BOLT

such persons lose in this life, to say

A young man once picked up sover-

as he walked along, he kept his eyes
steadfastly fixed on the ground, in hopes
of finding another And in the course
of long life he did pick up at different

1t has long been known to the older
settlers of this county, that a mine of
silver existed somewhere in this region
of the country, but the exact locality
has, until of late, been artfully con-
cealed It was known to the Indians
before their removal, and they were often
seen with the precious metal in their
possession, but they stoutly resisted all
pale faces attempts at persuading them
to reveal the secret In the hills about
Somerville, large cavities can at this day
be seen, the only and trustees result of
the white mans labor, but son of the
Emerald Isle happened lately to put his
foot into it. The ore was sent to- New
York to be tested, and the result was a
yield of 63per cent. of pure silver. The
discoverer took bee-ine for Columbus
and entered the land All the adj join-
ing lands, which were public, have also
been entered.

ful Pursuit of Husband.
The Albion american relates the fol
lowing singular and rather startling ad-
venture:
An engagement was enforced in the
town of Yates, the present week, in
rather peculiar if not in an entirely
agreeable manner. -.-..
One Daniel j. Houseman removed to
Michigan from Yates some four or five
years since. While residing in Michi,
gan his wife died Subsequently he be-
came acquainted with young lady in
that State, and it is said made an ar,
rangement of marriage with her. Be
that as it may he returned to Yates last
fall and has since resided there.
On Tuesday evening last the Medina
stage carried lady passenger to Yates
who took quarters at Chamberlain's Ho,
tel. She soon sent for Owen D. Phelps
and subsequently for Houseman. The
latter obeyed the summons, and almos
Immediately after his entrance into the
room was accosted by the lady, asked il
he was willing to perform his engage
ment. At the same time she drew {
six barrelled revolver, and pointing i
at him, stated she would give him the
contents if he refused Under the in
spiration of the six-shooter, added to the
charms of the lady, Houseman admitted
that he was willing. The instrument o
death was Immediately lowered, and thu
couple. were soon on their way to the res
idence of the father of Houseman. Wha
then transpired was not known to ou1
informer. -E
Houseman is about 35 years of age
The lady, whose name we did not oh
tain, is considerably younger.
The matter has excited unusual inter
est in that quiet town. ia ~

Bulletin of the 18th. How sad and
touching, yet how beautiful is the low

angel: ~
'sOn Friday afternoon fatal accident
happened to little girl, daughter Of
Mrs. Cole, residing seven miles south Of

little girl, whose age was seven years
was playing in the house with her twin

seized a gun and fred at her; seventeen

"Last evening, lady, residing in
Spring street, presented her husband
with two daughters, and was left by the
attendant physician in a comfortable
condition. In the course of three hours
thereafter, ring was heard at the door
bell, and under the impression that the
Doctor had returned to see his patient
the servant fastened to answer the sum-
mons. No one was to be seen in the
neighborhood, but upon the stoop was
found basket, which contained two
newly born male children, apparently
twins. The lady; when informed of the
circumstance, seemed we'll pleased, and
at once adopted the little waifs-placing
them in bed beside her own. The young
travellers were fast asleep, and were COM

fannels.

"We have examined the peach buds in

the weather should prove favorable, a

expected. Cherries promise well; and
plums, apricots, apples and pears, are

News from the Coal Oil lRegion-Great Ex-

| Editor of the PIaindealer-Sir: [ am
now in this OIL City, situated in the oil
basin of Western Pennsylvania.
think there are but few, if any, spots
upon the face of this globe that will
surpass this region in productive wealth
Even the great atwells in the Burmahn En-
pire, near Ragoon, producing 100000
hogsheads of this oil, will find a rival
here. 1t would be folly at this time to
attempt an estimate of the value, pres
ent and prospective, of the oily treasure
that underlies this rough and apparently
barren country; barren in agricultural
products up of rugged hills and
mountains, deep rayines and gulches,
covered up the sides and on the top with
pine and hemlock forests. Yet in spots
the hardy sons of toll, by dint of pa
tient industry, have made them to ''blos-
som as the rose"
The whole country for miles in extent
has every nook and crevice beneath the
surface permeated by oil, oozing out at
every accessible point. In many places
even the rocks are injected with it.
Almost everything here is oleaginous.
There is oil on the hills, and oil in the
valleys! The whole country is oil! DILL
Every rivulet and creek has its oil
springs; and all the people talk oil.
Their tongues are becoming mighty oily,
too, and it will soon be as proverbial
that the people here have licked the oil
stone as licking the Blarney stone is pro-
verbal of the Irish.
But return to our subject: this is
certainly great spot of country; where
without magician's wand mans for
tune may suddenly be changed from des-
titution and poverty to afauence and un-
bounded wealth. Such facts are upon
record and will be of frequent occur
renee.
The geology of the country is not un-
derstood There has been no survey,
hence the great source of this great
fountain of wealth is only conjectural.
1t may remain so. 1t is enough for
those interested to know that it exists
and that the supply comes in great abund-
ance. --fF
Practically 1t Is not necessary 10
adopt the vague opinions of any one
much less that the globe is "roll OF
oil" with the she'll cracked just here at
this particular place, Titusville, through
which the oil is leaking out.
The great center of the oil basin, at
this time, is regarded as verging to the
Allegheny river, embracing an area of
fifty miles in extent; having in the range
the mouths CT French Creek, Oil Creek,
and Pithale Creek, and embracing the
river within this range as the focal point.
The strong presumption is that the great
wells will be upon the river, within the
range of say, twenty miles above and
below the mouth of Oil Creek. Facts
and indications upon the surface and
geographically, will, and do confirm this
opinion. FL.

Leaving His Card.


One day, when Mrs. Partington was
out-not in the usual aceeptation of the
term, but when she was on visit to
some neighbor's-the minister called
upon. her, and upon her return, Mrs.
Partington found delicate bit of paste
board upon her table. 'What is that?'

at it from various angles and holding
her head back as though she were sight
ing it by her nose and chin. at is a
card, I guess, replied Ike, taking hold
of it and reading it; eyes it is one of the
minister's cards. :" 'sOh you wicked

against so good as man that he plays
cards, though when I came to Boston
every body said I should find placards
at the very street corners" 'Tis his,

MATRIMONIAL ADVERTISEMENT

factious fellow of my acquaintance, insa-
tiate of female adventures, answered one
of these advertisements the other day,
from two young girls, twins, Blanche and
Rose by name. His overture was ac-
cepted, and he was requested by a return
note to call at house in Sullivan Street.
The welcome billet was deliciously per-
fumed and the writing in fancy-like
hand. s z..s ..ssays.=.,.f

touched in the. face of his long and
wicked city experience, and straightway
he began to have visions of a pair OF
blooming girls like two cherries on one

original Rose and Blanche in Sue s
''Wandering Jew" With selfshness
co-extensive with the male human spe-
cies, he determined to have the monop-
oily of both. Hewentto the house, found
it a respectable looking mansion, raped
at the door, was admitted by the servant
on giving his name, Can assumed one,
was shown up stairs into prettily fur
nished room, and was told that the sis
ters would soon be in.
| In few moments fierce and spectral
female, over forty years old, and rather
drunk, entered, and, without word,
flung herself with the recklessness of
two dozen Camilles, into the arms of the
amazed adventurer. Before he could re-
cover his balance, or say word, a tall
rufhan burst into the room, with pistol
in each hand, and cried, frantically,
"You are the betrayer of my wife! ]
will kill you both together!" The fero-
cious female Ga perfect gorilla in strength

closer about the arms of my misguided
friend. - aa.-s. sfes izes.

punch of his right fist he foored the wo-

the ''injured husband" knocking him
completely off his pins; with second
stride he had gained the door of the
