contemporaries, has been compelled to

and accordingl y it makes its appearance
to day in materially curtailed Dimensions.
One of its rivals, the WortI, | see,
chronicles the fact, with chuckle-al
belt, if it be true that the 1ribune is in
a bad way, the E'orM may well fear that
it will come to an end ! suppose there

Retaliation upon the Yankees.

Retaliation upon the Yankees is the
order Of the day, and the Richmond En-
aminer of the llth says:
The obligation of secrecy ha. been re,
moved from a bill passed by Congress,
under authority of which the executive
will proceed to retaliation upon the per
sons Of the Yankee prisoners in our
hands. sin such numbers as he may deem
exp"dient,' for the inhuman treatment
of our prisoner, in New York. The act
of Congress which has given the Presi-
dent authority for retaliation in such
measure and kind az may seem to him
proper and just, rccites the fact, by way
Of preamble. and in vindication Of its
objects. tha: " the government Of the
United States has paced in irons, and
lodged 10 dungeons, citizens Of the con.
federate States. acting under the author
i'y of letters Of marque, issued in accor
dance with the laws Of the Confederate
Stat $, by the President thereof, and
have otherwise n.atreated the same, anc
have seized and confined sundry othe
citizens of the said Confederate States
in violation Of all principle, of humane
and civilized warfare"

Romance Of Life.

A young man, now in Company l,
Capt. Steele, Wade and Hutchins Cav
airy, was enlisted under the name of
John Gruff in Medina county. He knew
nothing of his parentage, but some years
since was taken from the Medina county
poor house at Westiield by a Mr.. Briggs
of that town, afterwards lived with a
Mr.. Dean, remaining with the latter per
son ive years. He is now nineteen years
of age
On Sunday Last Gruff was roaming
near the Oak Grove House on the lights,
and slumbering, indefinite, dreamy
memory was excited. as if Of former fam.
iIiarity with the location The name of
Trou. ka came to his brain, why aud how
he could not tell, but a fash Of hon e
and Of parents came up and instisated
an enquiry for family of the name of
Trouska, and he found one which had
lived there for some years, but neither
man nor woman could speak English, and
Gruff could speak no German. An in
'erpreter, however, was found, aud the
long and short of the matter was the old
ople found in Grutf a son lost or stoler
when ten years Of age. The Imagination
can give the scene of recognition. but
the parents had mourned their child as
dead. and yet he had for all that time
been within thirty miles Of them. no"
John Grutf got his name. and where, he
does not know - Cleveland Herald.

Hides and TaliOW.
A California paper says

"A SaiAioluia paper says
THE business Of s!aughter;ns neat
cattle for their hides and talIow, once the
chief industry If California, and lately
revived, will probably be maintained for
long time. In the southern part of the
State, there are large numbdrs of old cat.
tie for which there is no other profitable
use. 4 COW, when about Is years old,
ceases to bear caves, and to he Of profit
to her owner. The best use that can then
be made Of her is to kill her for her hide
and :aow; for the butchers DO not wish
TO buy. The price OF beef is low, and the
cost of driving to the center Of the state
so high, that even the best young cattle
are worth very little in Los Angeles and
San Deiso counties. Few, however,
have as yet been killed for tal!ow, except
cows and s,ags-the latter kind of OK
en-
The only establishment where cattle
are sIau Sh.ered for tallow in the State
or at least the onl y one Of note, is that
Of Banning Il Ilinchman. at San Pedro,
eighteen miles south of Les Angeles -
They commenced the business about two
months ago, KILN. from ten to sixty five
head of cattlea day. The hides and tai
low are the oily parts of the carcass for
which there is certain sale: The horns
are saved, but none have been sold -
Some cf the best meat has been dried,
but there is little demand for it All the
meat not dried is thrown into the tanks,
where it is steamed at O high heat for IA
term varying from eight to twcnt, -four
hours. There are three tanks, two o
wood and one of iron, with the joint ca
pacity Of holding the carcasscs Of two
hundred cows. Perforated iron pipes
run through, the tanks, and the steam,
running through the perfora'ious, per.
vaces the Whole mass, and cooks it so
thoroughly that the small bones disappear
entirely, and the larger ones arc softencd
so much that they can be crushed fat by
pressure between the thumb and Gucer
After the stcaming is complete, water is
let in, the tallow rises to the surface and
is let off through a cock into large ket
tie. where it is boiled several hours to ex-
pell all the water, and is then ready for
packing. The first lot Of cows slaugh-
tered had an average Of los pounds to
the head the second had l75 pounds.
The meat, after s.eaming, is fed to hogs,
which are also to be steamed up in their

LAwRIE TATuM, Sec.
THE FAIR.

According to previous notice, the fair
of the Cedar County Agricultural Society
came off on the 10Th aud Goth ut. The
Executive Committee were all present
promptly filling their respective posts.
On the first day there were more en-.
tries made than the Secretary expected
to have; everything indicating a large
crowd there on the second day, except
the forbodinss Of the weather.
The second day morning was wet
much rain having fallen in the night,
which no doubt kept many at home, who
would have attended, had the weather
been favorable. The clouds however in
measure dispersed and competitors and
visitors collected, thoseh not as great a
number Of either, as there was on the
occasion last year.
In the opinion of tie writer there was
a better lot Of horses, cattle, and hogs,
than there was exhibited at the fair last
year There were II entries Of horses,
% of cattle, and % of hogs. From the
appearance of the swine, we would sup
pose that the blood Of the prairie wind
splitters is getting pretty we'll worked
out. The horses did not have a good
opportunity Of showing themselves, ow
ing to the wet and slippery c ndition of
the track, but still they did very well,
especially B. Ellyson's "OId Nance" ir
pulling wagon. bed full Of men aud
boys, with two wheels locked and she a,
the end of the tongue.
The tent was not so we'll filled as it
was last year. The display of veg etables
rather poor. The assortment of apples
was the best that we had seen 10 Cedar
county. G. =. Wood had SO varieties
on exhibition. Several others had some
on exhibition, and oh, how they made
some OF US wish that We haden't let the
g"phers aud borers and cattle and horses
have such free access to our orchards. -
nearI y all the specimens were very large
for the kind, and smooth, though not so
deeply tinged with red, as when grown
on land that is more inclincd to clay. A
few grapes and pears were also on exhi-
bition.
The ladies did their part in making it
interesting. A considerable quantity Of
bread, butter, sauce, preserves, &c, was ON
exhibition. Nathan Taber had a new
churn cn exhibition, Of his invention
which he thinks bids fair to do up the
business right.
We had an orderly and quiet company,
and, all things considered, the Fair did
very well. LAwRlE TATUM.

One thing more. Parents visit the
school; why are you such laggards in
this duty? Children never see their
parents in the school room, and they
begin to think that their teacher is the
only individual intrusted in their i'm
provement, and that he is only so because
he is paid for it. Then visit the school,
if not for your own sake, for the sake Of
your child; be assured it will increase
your own interest, and rcdouble theirs.
You commit to the teacher your greatest
earthly treasures, and who if not you
should take an interest in your guardian
ship; your presence will encourage the
teacher, animate the child, and lead to
the happiest results. Parents, try it and

WE learn with great pleasure that Col.

a brigade for the war. Col. ID. Utassy's
Garibaldi Guards, one of the best corps yet
enlisted here, is TO form part of it. Col
Asboth greatly distinguished himself in the
Hungarian war Of independence, where he
rendered the most important services as a
military engineer, and had great experience
in out post fighting and seige operations =
As Kossuth said in a letter testifying to As
both's part in that most memorable war =
Without any previous preparations he sue
cceded in one nghtin building bridge across
the river Gran, which led our army of 40,
600 men to the glorious battle of Macy Sarlo,
which BUNDLED Austria to the dust, and
drove it from despair into the arms of the
Russian Gar This, we may add, is only
one of many achievementsin in which Col As
both had conspicuous share.
The brigade which he is organizing will
be specially intended for outpost and pioneer
duty, for bridge building and work of that
description. Such force will be indispen-
