A Rich Scene at Marble Rock.

Our readers will rccollect that, sew.
eral weeks since, some preachers, de-
nominated Adventists or Soul-sleep-
ers, while holding meeting in Mar
bic Rock, this county, were requested
to take the oath of allegiance, and
did so. Among these was an English
man who. wishing to be considered 10y
al TO our Government, voluntarily sub
scribed the oath, but afterwards being
in doubt about his fidelity to the
Queens neutrality" proclamation,
he wrote the British Minister. Lord
Lyons, upon the subject of his having
taken an oath Of allegiance to the
United States. Lord Lyons has reph-
ed to him, instructing him that the
act is invalid and be must have his
name erased from the oath The
President of the u. l.. of A., before
whom the business was done, says he
does not live under the government of
the British Minister and will not be
dictated by him he therefore refuses
to allow the Englishman's name to be
erased. The Englishman is now
threatening vengeance upon the mag
istrate and " President of the Mob"
as he terms him. He saye he has his
instructions from Lord Lyons how to
proceed, and the magistrate will re-
greet it if his obstinacy should bring
on serious difficulties with the "'ome
government" All Marble Rock is
now in trepidation lest war be declar-
ed against her by "hold Hengland."
In the mean time the Englishman has
gone to meet his appointment at
Floyd, and convert others to his doc
trincs Of non-rcsistance and Eng
lish ncu trality."
P.S. The British iron.clad "War-
rior is momentarily expected to make
her appearance in the Shellrock river,
opposite Marble Rock, when the town
will be bombarded +!

Something New for Farmers.

On Tuesday our attention was called
to a new Tanning Mill, on exhibition
in the village. We saw it in opera
tion and believe it decidedly desid-
eratum for our farmers. The Dubuque
Times speaks of it as follows, and we
endorse the statement in full:
1t is tanning mill, patented by Chas.
Kathan, of Hardin, Iowa. and jointly
owned by him and Joel Dayton, Of De-
corah. The mill has some half dozen
new things about it. all working to a
common end. 1t has two" shoes" the
upper being like those in ordinary
mills, but the under one is made Of
perforated zinc, designed expressly to
separate oats from wheat. A light
hammer plays between the two, and
keeping up regular rapping. effectu-
ally prevents the sleeves from clog
ging. It also has FEEDER" which
Is designed to regulate the feeding,
and an elevator" an entirely new
thing in tanning mi i'll. by which. when
getting ready for mill or market. the
wheat is carried up and delivered in
to bag or any other receptacle. or
when cleaning wheat for seed takes
up the tailings and deposits them into
the hopper to be run through the sec
ond time. The common place of de-
livering the grain is at the side through
spout into measure. The mill is
run by bands and pulleys-not cog
wheeis--thus obviating large
amount of noise incident to cleaning
grain. 1t has cleaned sixty bushels
of wheat for seed in fifty minutes, and
can clean a common sack full in q
minute, for market. The mill runs ca
~ and still. 1t is said by scores and
hundreds that it is the best mill they
ever saw. Those wishing to purchase
the right of territory. or buy individual
machines, will address Joel Dayton,
DEBORAH. Iowa.

The Wheat Crop.

Our farmers are now in the midst
of their wheat harvest. They report
that the average yield will be from
ten to fifteen bushels to the acre
much more than was anticipated dur
ing the dry weather. The latter
rainsn have had wonderful effect in
rcviving vegetation. Even at ten
bushels an acre, vast amount OF
wheat will be produced, the breadth
of ground sown was 80 large. The
farmers say the quality of the wheat
was never better.

much reduced, is relieved from active
duties in the field, and ! can be spared

lie service. 1t is but just to say that,
in accepting the nomination at Des
Moines, there was no understanding
or agreement, on my part at least,
that l should resign my commission
in the army before the election, and
engage in the political canvass of the
State. Indeed, l should not have &C
cepted the honor, SO generously ten
dered me, upon any such terms. The
noble men with whom have served
80 long in the field, have q higher
claim upon my services, than any pc
litical friends in the State and yield
ing to what l conceive to be an i'm
perative public duty, shall remain
with them as long as my presence
there may be needed. So far as an
personally concerned, l feel but little
solicitude as to the result of the com
ming election. If had preferred civ

Of the war;
Should the people of Iowa in their
sovereign capacity choose me for their
Chief Magistrate, l will accept the
trust, and endeavor faithfully to dis
charge it. If otherwise. / shall cheer
fully abide by their will. and remain
with my comrades in the field, if life
and health are spared me. until the

How TO TREAT AN IDLE HUSBAND
The people (the Inhabitants of New Zeland)
are much attached to their chiefs. If they
require an additional patch Of land, or lib
erty to build house anywhere, it is gran
ted. 1t they quarrel among themselves. or
have complaints to make, the head chiefs
ear is kindly opened to ALTO the poorest
man as well as to the petty chief. If inva-
sion threatens their district, he is in the
front ranks to repel it; and let the war cause
a sharp skirmish or great battle, he is al
ways IN the front, and where danger pres
ses most, so that he has their love and re-
spect. The head chief often interferes in
minor matters of domestic nature. For
instance, If lazy fellow has wife or two
and few children, and, through his love
for fishing, dancing, or lettering idly about,
he neglects to bring in the necessary sup
plies for his family, complaint is made
The chief visits the house In person, and
if he sees just grounds for punishment, he
orders out the whole popul alton of the viii
lage. Men, women and children arms them
selves with a stiff birch made of canes, and
then form double line, about six feet apart,
and wait, with anxious glee, the approach
OF the delinquent. At last he is placed at
one end of the lines, amidst shower of
yells, screams, jibes, etc. The word is Civ
en- by the chief, and away he darts at his
utmost speed. According to his deserts. he
may get off with running the line once, or
may have to do so twice or three; but he is
skilful in cunning and feetness that can run
the lines even once without having hisskin
tickled for him by the hearty application
of the birch welded by some strong wo-
man. As the punishment is not of a fatal
kind, the whole affair creates unrestricted
