MORE "ARBIrRARY" ARREsTs.-The Dep.
uty United States Marshal for Iowa passed
through Wilton on last evenings train, hav-
ing in his custody two deserters and a man
named Rogers, arrested in. Ringgold county
for enlisting recruits for the rebel service. The
latter worthy had secured six recruits among
the followers of Mahony, Thayer, Dean & Co.
He was playing bold game, and will doubt
less suffer severely for it. His appearance,
however indicates that he has been made q
tool of by men of more shrewdness than him
self.
Can't the Courier get up another howl
on the infraction of the Constitution in the
arrest of this man? Surely, the liberties of
all such are in danger while officers as vigil
ant as Marshal Hoxie are around daily,

BRUTAL AND CowARDLY AssAULT.--A most

BRUTAL AND CowARDLY AssAULT.-A most
unprovoked, brutal and cowardly assault was
made last Sunday morning, about 10 o'clock,
upon Mr.. Izador Nierel, quiet, unoffend-
ing citizen of this city, by an Irishman NAM
ed Lahey, an employee in the grocery store
of j.. McMenomey. On Sunday morning,
according to his usual custom, in the pres
ence of Mr.. n, he commenced abusing the
Government and its supporters, avowing
himself secessionist, and boasting in the
fact that he had already pointed gun at the
breasts Of Union men. Mr.. N. reproved him
for the use of such outrageously reasonable
language, when Lahey made threatening
demonstration toward Mr.. N. He was in
duced to forego the pleasure of demolishing
Mr.. Nierel by the presence of persuader
(Colts latest) in the hands of the latter
They then separated. Lahey was heard,
however, threatening to take the life of Mr..
Nerel. Soon afterwards, whilst the latter
was walking with friend, on his way home,
near the corner of Second street and Iowa
Avenue, Lahey crept up behind him, and
without the least warning, struck him in the
back of the head with brick, inflicting a
serious, though probably not fatal, wound.
P. S.-The defendant was held to bail in
the sum of $500 for his appearance at the
next term of court He found the necessary
bail and was released.

sICoxING CERTA1N-We learn from one of
the Directors of the County Agricultural AS
ISOLATION, that assurances have been received
from Mr.. Wolfe of Cedar Rapids, proprietor of
the celebrated trotting stallion Tom Hyer,
and other fast horses, that he will be Oh
hand at the coming Fair to be held on the
Island next September, with his entire stud
of horses. We also hear of several other
equally celebrated horses that are expected
here. We have no doubt that the coming
Fair will equal any former exhibition ever
held in this county. Owing to the drought,
the show of agricultural productions may not
be so large as formerly, but this deficiency
will be more than made up in the number of
mechanical and domestic articles that will be
exhibited. The liberal premiums offered for
stock will doubtless bring together large
number of animals Of every description and
of the finest breeds. We expect, therefore,
that the next Fair will be equal and in some
respects superior to the former celebrated
Fairs held in this county, &c., -,

Soon after leaving the stand the Roam broke

was soon brought down to his work, however,
and at the third turn had gradually closed in
