For the Gazette.

Mr.. EDITOR: 1t is now over three months
since | handed in my account for work 70,
the soldiers, in accordance with Capt. SMlru's
instruction. I saw Mr.. WALKUP, a member
OF the committee to audit claims, good many
times about it, and he told me that there was
&c oe meeting called and he would BRING
the matter before the same. Why was there
no meeting held? The amount $3.50 is
quite sum to me and will help much at this
time, as my family is in need of it. hope
that there will be some step taken by the
committee at large to relieve me of the sus.
pense of such justly earned claim.

Fair Grounds.--Work is going on at the
Fair Grounds. There is any amount of
work to do there yet, and it would be no
disgrace to the citizens of Cedar Falls to take
a little more interest in its prosecution. Some
men that cannot go themselves ought to send
hand. The society hopes soon to be able
to hire its work done. 1t is necessary to do
considerable driving on the track before it is
6t for fail. use, and all our fast young men
with fast horses are requested to make it a
place of resort.

Speedy ReliJ.-Buffalo, N. Y, Sept %,
1s50.-Dr. w. B. SLoAN-Sir: About the
first of August last my hand began to swell
badly, and caused me very great suffering
The swelling daily increased, and extended
up my arm to the shoulder, and affected me
so much as to render me incapable of retain
ing my food in my stomach. had the at
tendance of an eminet physician, and every
thing was tried that promised relief, until it
seemed as though could not survive another
day. At this critical juncturc, at the solic-
tation of friend, your valuable Ointment
was applied to the arm and hand, and also
over the region of the stomach. This imme-
diately stopped the nausea; and in twenty
five or thirty minutes the pain in my arm
and hand were SO much relieved that fell
into a quiet slumber for the first time in
about two weeks. The hand was several
times laid open with lancet before your
Ointment was applied, without affording any
relief; but from the time began using your
Ointment upon it, the sore discharged freely
and my hand and arm were restored in an al
most incredible short time The speedy re-
lief from the terrible suffering which expe-
rienced, induces me to send this testimonial,
that others similarly affected may know the
value of your Ointment in such cases. For
any further particulars you are at liberty to
refer to me.

ENGLAND.

The London Post Of Oct. 22, reports dinner
speech made by member of Parliament, hr.
jackson, to his constituents of the borough Of
under-Tyne, upon American affairs.
Mr.. jackson said:
81 am truly glad to know there is but one
opinion throughout the country respecting the
differences-that is non-intervention. Ibeli-ve
my honorable colleague agrees with me in thai.
and am satisfied Lord Derby and Lord Pal.

tis this substantial unsnmity Of British opi :
ion which extorted from the London Times It's
article Of October 81, Extensively copied in
this country, repudating the idea that the
want Of cotton could, in any contingency. co,
cree England into taking sides In the American
controversy.
In the meantime, while the idea Of an Eng.
lish Intervention in our affairs for the sake Of
getting cotton, is and always was most ~.
supported and improbable absurdity, it is not
to be winked out of sight that British POI NJ
clans OF all shades contemplate eur troubles
with satisfaction. In the same. dinner spe, ci
already quoted, Mr.. jackson said:
Let them 1.-THE Americans] fight it out l,r
fight it as they will, 1t must finally result to,

As the world goes, we must not complain
and certainly ought not to be surprised, If Erg

TAXES.

The New York Herald discovers thai the in.

an unconstitutional manner
The provisions of the Constitution applicable
to this subject, are that representation and " di.

five as equal to three free persons,) and that

GENERAL HUNTER, who succeeds General
Fremont, is about sixty years of age, and grad
uated at West Point in 1922, the twenty-ffth in
rank in class numbering forty, and was ap-
pointed second lieutenant Of infantry. Having
risen to a first lieutenancy, he was, in 1886,
ma lie captain of cavalry, but shortly after re-
signed. In 1912, he rel ,iaed the army as pay
master, in which position, with the rank of ma
jor, the present Administration found him. He
accompanied Mr.. Lincoln from Springfield, on
his tour to Washington, as far as Buffalo, where,
owing to the pressure of the crowd, he suffered
a dislocation of the collar bone. Shortly after
be was made colonel of the Third cavalry, and
then brigadier general. He commanded a
leading division at the battle OF Bull Run, but
was wounded so early in the day that he
reached Washington travelling in an amou.
lance, almost as soon as Mr.. Russell. He saw
no service in the Mexican war, nor in any Of

In respect to butter, the New York Tribune
says:
The consumption Of American butter is no
longer confined to English seaports; it has ex
tended to nearly all the large interior towns,
and also to considerable extent upon the con
tinent. The greatest fault found with it is its
excess of salt-Europeans preferring to eat
butter much fresher than we do. But our but.
makers will at once adapt the article to the
taste of their best customers, and we shall ex-
pect to see butter made and packed exclusive
ly for the English market, just as cheese, beef,
aud pork, are now put up particularly to suit
the English taste. So we do not look for any
diminution in the trade, but rather to see it in
crease whenever the price rules here at rate,
as it does now, to enable dealers to compete
with the butter-makers of England. At any
r"te, we shall be very much sstonished if We
ever see butter again in New York as low as ii
was during the summer Of 1861. Too many
europeans have got taste of American butter

at which 1t usually sells in this market"

STANDING ARNIEs,-It is gratifying to know
that so long as the Constitution remains, no
such thing as u permanent military establish
ment can be fastened upon us. Those stern
old republicans fathers Of this country-
were, above all things, jealous of stqndiu
armies. They have effectually prohibited it,
by the provision, that no appropriation for the
support Of armies " shall be for longer term
than too yedrs," thus rendering the continu-
ance of any force, great or small, dependent
upon the separate assent of each branch OF
every successive Congress.
