ANOTHER MORGAN AFFAIR PERHAPS.
Everybody is of course familiar with
the Morgan disappearance, which caused
so intense an excitement a number of
years ago, not only in this country but
also in Europe. Ii was said the Masons
made way with him for revealing the Sc
crets of the Order, and many believe the
story to this day. A somewhat similar
occurrence is now exciting the citizens
of GAINESVILLE. Ohio. The aurora not
long since published what purported to
be full expose of the mode of initiation
signs, secrets, and mysteries Of the Sons
of Malta, which was extensively copied
The expose was considered good Joke,
got up by some wag to amuse the Sons,
and was laughed over by not few. 1t
however, assumed serious aspect when
il was discovered that one Curtis was the
author, and that he had suddenly and
mysteriously disappeared Suspicion
pointed at once TO the Sons of Malta, and
it is feared that unless the mystery which
enshrouds the case is cleared up, the cit.
liens will rise en- naasse against the Order
-Sandusky Register.
Late discoveries in Pathology show
that very many of the diseases which af-
flict mankind arise from impurty of the
blood. This has long been suspected
but is only lately known. In consump-
ton, tuberclcs are found to be a sedi-
mentary deposite from the blood. Drop
sy. Gout, Cancer, Ulcers and Eruptions,
all arise in disordered deposites from the
blood. Bilious diseases and fevers are
caused solely by its deranged unhealthy
state, and even the decline of life follows
a want of vitality in the blood. In view
Of these facts DR.. AVER, designed his
Cathartic Pill especially to purify and
invigorate the blood, and hence we be-
|ieve to arise its unparalleled success in
controlling and curing disease. { Medical

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer writes that some ex-

mere by the appearance in public of the
daughters of the Austrian Consul Gen

FRIEND Rich :

FRIEND RICH:
For the first day in the session the
House has accomplished something
done good days work. About ten or
fifteen bills have been passed, and sent to
the Senate. One of these bills provides
that no county, city, or incorporated
town, shall hereafter take any stock in
any railroad company, or issue any
bonds to such companies.
Two appropriation bills were passed.
ono for $4,000, to the general sup
port of the Asylum for the Deaf and
Dumb, at Iowa City, for the next two
years the other to pay Major WILLIAMS
and others for expenses incurred in 1857,
in fitting out an expedition to Spirit
Lake. A bill was also passed TO exempt
forty acres from taxes for five years,
whereon the owner has planted, and is
growing, five acres Of timber The 9TH
er bills were of local nature.
Tonight there is to be discussion in
the hall of the House between DR.. Sr1M-
son, president of the Dubuque, Marion
and Western Railroad Co., and Colonel
CROKER, President of the Iowa and Ne
braska Railroad. The part of the New
Code relating to Civil Practice was laid
on the members tables to-day. 1t was
prepared by DARWIN, and Judging from
what little l have examined it, | think it
will be an improvement on the old one.
He takes strong ground against the old
Chancery Practice. aud in favor of the
Reform Practice of New York. l think
it will meet with some opposition from
the old lawyers, but l hope common
sense will prevail. I will write to you
again tomorrow if anything worthy of
note transpires. Yours truly,
