49,. There WAS quite general turn
out to the Pic mic last Saturday and
the participants enjoyed themselves
finely, and the whole affair passed off
very civily and harmoniously.
Mr.. Turbett has sold ont his
interest in the Toledo Grocery Store to
Mr.. Park who Is now running that in
stitution for the benefit of the public.
THE Board Of Supervisors will

Those having claims against the
County will bear 1t in mind, and pre-.

-. Our people will remember that il
they need any hardware, the Hardware
Store is the place to buy it. It is re-
moved TO the South West Corner of the

$50. Farmers aud Mechanics will
please bear in mind the meeting Of the
Agricultural Society at tho Court
House one week from next Saturday,

....Damc Nature is sometimes fond
Of stepping aside from old accustomed
ways of doing things up after pattern,
and tries her skill at something new
her productions on such occasions be-
ing usually called freaks. She has
1t ,Iy tried her hand in our town at
ccmenting or uniting 4 couple Of pigs,
and partially succeeded. The hind
quarters Of the pigs were perfectly
formed separately until they reached
the navel where a union commenced
and continued to unite closer until they
terminated in one broad head, and orr
4liaary snout. They had eight legs
md three ears, one of the ears being in
the centre and back part Of the head
two Of the fore legs being nearly on
their backs could not have been used.
They were Of the male persuasion,
and died, If they ever lived, in their earl
lest infantile moments.
1--WE have received few num-
bers Of the daily Times and Ners
at MIarsllalltown. l, contains
the tclegraphic dispatches and other
nows up to the time Of going to press;
thus enabling its readers to pcruse and
enjoy the same war news, and at
tho same time that the people Of Chfca-
20 aud New York do. This speaks
well for Marshall, and places her. in
this line ahead of Iowa City and Cedar
Rapids.
We are impressed with the belief
that our people viii some day regret
that they did not accept the offer Of
lhs telegraph company to establish an
office in this town. II we neglect to
secure advantages which are offered
u, and are withiA our reach, we must
take the consequences Of our own folly.
We can obtain the war news sooner
from the daily Times and Ne,0s than
ey tho Chicago and Davenport Dailies
md would advise our greedy news
gormandizers to make arrangements
with the proprietors Of that paper and
tho Express company to procure and
digest fts contents about l2 hours ahead
