1gr'cuHnrat 7'artaaent. = The first OF
January Mr.. MELESDY will resume charge of
the Agricultural Department of this paper,
which has been tliscontinucd fot some time
past or account of engagements which pre-
vented his giving his thfe TO the matter
This was one of the best features Of our pa
per for our country readers, and they will be
glad to learn that Mr.. MELENDr intends to
make his department even more interesting,
attractive and instructive than heretofore
A pleasing writer, close and practical OBJ
server, and possessed Of "a thorough iknowl.
edge Of the wants and interests of the agrf-
cultural community, he is peculiarly fitted
for the position. .
Pork. - We have seen few loads OF
dressed hogs in our streets, though as yet
the number seeking market is very limited.
Prices rule low, not averaging over 1925 to
$3.50 per hundred pounds. On account Of
the very mild weather we are having II
is rather risky property to deal in and con-
sequently there is as yet no settled market
for it, nor will there be until settled cold
weather is a thing that can be depended on
1t now looks as though pork will not bring
very high price the coming season. The
Dubuque Times Of the 18th quotes dressed
hogs at 1925 to 50, and the Chicago Tri
bune of the 10th quotes it at $3.50 to S2,T5

Unsolditrly.-We understand that squad
of nine soldiers, raw recruits from up north
somewhere, on their way from Sherlock to
this place, day before yesterday, committed
depredations and outrages all along the entire
route. They pulled down fences, and scat.
tered the rails about the road they entered
the barnyarcs and distracted chickens. tur-
keys. etc. in Washington township they
put the climax on all of their rowdyish deeds
by smashing in the windows of the district
school house. Men, whether drunk or sober,
who are enlisted in the cause of the Union
and the maintenance of the laws, and are
guilty Of such unlawful, low.lved perpetra-
tons, ought to be at once discharged from
service to their country. and brought to a
strict account for their aggravating and unpro-
roked deeds. That young men; representing
Iowa in the Union army. should be guilty Of
such action, is shamcful-to say the least
We are told that on the evening after their
arrival here they had grand feast from the
products Of their thcfts.

skim well, and while boiling pour it over
the beef covering it closely. If the meat is
not entirely covered, make more brine as

it was easily seen that the sailed pair had
a much stronger appetite than the others,

ANOTHER PoLITICAL PRISONER DISCHARGED
FROM Fr WARREN Robert Elliot, of Free

Yesterday, by orders from Washington. He
took the oath of allegiance, aud there w ere

Herald
Here is another Illustration, says the AL
bsny Argus of the wrongfulness of these
summary arrests. not only as regards the
individual. but the government and the
people. Il was in regard 10 this Mr.. Elliott
that Mr. Seward wrote ;ha, :he D apartment
had positive evidence that he had raised
loops in Maine to CO operate with the Con.
ledera,es, south If this was :rue, the trait
or should have beeu lried and punished
But this summary arrest snatches him out
OF the hands of the tribunals OF Maine, where
alone he could be tried for treason, and
Transfers hum 10 another state, where, after
little while he is released and escapes
justice.
What were out Courts made for, if men
gviIly of such crimes, are not 10 be tried for
them? Who doubts the willingness OF Courts
and Juries in Maine 10 deal justly with
such cases Yel here the Government it's
sell smuggIes the criminal out OF reach of
the law, only 10 set him free.
We confess we doinoi believe that any
man in Maine. not in a mad-house, ever
conceived the project of raising troops to
aid the secessionIs's. We believe the whole
plot was the fgment oi false informer,
which imaginative Secretary of states SWELL
ed into plot, but why are innocent citizens
ieiI at the mercy Of the plots and unregula-
ted iancies of political or personal enemies.
