We were forced to make flying trip to

it ut thus season OF the year. We called n
moment at the Gazette office, finding our old
chum Hank" busy with the duties of the
office. His industry and strict attention, to-
gethcr with his natural taste and ability, is
making the Gazette one of the first papers in
the State. We dined and supped at the Car

the great rush there all the time. We stop

Cedar Falls was nearer that We might visit

Copperhead Threats. editor of the
Waterloo Courier recently received an an
onymous letter, evidently written by some
illiterate Copperhcad, threatening that the
town would be laid in ashes ii the people of
Waterloo did not desist from molesting peo-
pie when they were cheering for JEFF. Davis
in the streets Of that place. The post
mark shows that the letter was mailed at Gil
bertsville, in this county. IF the chap could
be founded out it would be well to put him
in such shape that the only fire he would
ever hereafter have any knowledge Of would
be hcll-frc.

Smoks-During the fore part Of the week
the atmosphere was thick with smoke
What caused it, or where it came from. was
at the time mystery. We have accounts
from places further north which represent
that there the smoke was even denser than
here. The smoke is caused by fires which
are rssing in the pineries bordering on Lake
Superior. Whole forests are being destroyed.
and at st. Paul, on the 18th, the smoke was
so thick that il was painful to the eyes. and
rendered it impossible to see quarter Of a
mile. It ~ completely filled the air that
vessels could not run on Lake Superior. So
says the account.

Williams Fine Art Gallery.-Mr VIII
MAMs had expected to open his fine art gallery
in this place on the 4th Of July, but circum-
stances over which he had no control pre-
vented. But now all things arc in readiness,
and next Wednesday the gallery will be
thrown open for the reception of visitors
Mr.. WILLIAMS establishment will have no
superior in the State, and some idea Of the
expense he has incurred may be gathered
from the fact that he has expended over
one thousand dollars in furnishing his reccp-
ton room alone. As an artist Mr. WILLIAMS
stands frst-class, and all those who have had
an opportunity of examining specimens of
his work will readily conccde this In his
efforts to establish here a fine art gallery that
will be an honor to the place, he should meet
with most liberal patronage, for if money
making alone had been his object in locat-
ing here, people would hate been perfectly
satisfied with an establishment fitted up at
ono half the expense Of this one of which
we speak. Most people would consider that
this gallery is of too expensive character
for place of this size, but we trust that the
enterprise and good taste of the proprietor
will meet with rich reward. Ladies and
gentlemen are invited to visit his rooms next
wednesday; examine the specimens and make
the acquaintance Sf the artist

Hare We a LUslry Shop.-A friend writ
ing us from Wisconsin asks what would be
the opening for jewelry establishment
ding that he sees no advertisement Of any
such thing in the GAZETTE. We must ad.
init that a glance over our columns would
lead a stranger to think that We had nothing
of the sort, but we believe there arc already
two establishments Of this kind here. A
third one would not be apt to pay well unless
the proprietor advertised liberalyy-in that
case we think it would.

Crops.-Persons that have recently visited
other portions Of the State, say that in no
section do the crops look as well as here. In
the southern part Of the State they have had
no rain, and everything is suffering badly
therefor. A gentleman just from Ohio tells
us that corn is much more forward here than
there. Our farmers are now in their harvest
fields, and the crop being garnered is fully
an average one. .. ..

indulge in remarks that had better have re-

any circumstances; bat they are particular

vicious taste it is not your duty to pander to
it, and feed 1t with unholy food which will
serve but to increase the flame that will con

character. On the contrary you should pass
the sensual and the obscene, the profane and
