inal, yielding clip this season of 21a Tbs.
Chapman s.-Attcnton is directed to the

- ..". A..
Chichsns.-The shooting season has al.
ready bosn inaugurated and the prairie
chickens, consequently, have begun to suffer
their annusl persecution. After the first of
next month, when the prohibition Of law is
removed, sportsmen will be in their glory,
anddoss and shotguns in active demand.
Soci05l5.--The first of series of Sociables.
by Che Ladies' Aid Society, will be held at
Horticultural Hall, next Thursday evening,
26th inst. The ladies arc resolved to spare
no pains to render these entertainments al
together pleasant. The object is the noble
one Of relief to our suffering soldiers An OBJ
.ect all loyal hands and hearts can Join in
promoting. The admission, including ice.
cream, cake, etc, is but twenty five cents,
which, in our humble estimation, is too small
by.half.
.SIJhtly Wrong.-Last week we made the
statement, gathered from "a reliable gentle.
man." in speaking of the ravages of chinch
bugs, that Mr.. J. NJ. OvERnAN yesterday
put 4 mower into forty.acre field of grain
and is cutting it down for fodder. Of of this
same piece, last year he harvested eleven
hundred bushels" This is correct, with the
exception that Mr. OvERMAN done no such
thing. He expects to reap a fair harvest.
And. furthermore, his eleven hundred bush.
els of wheat last year, came from eighty
acres instead of forty.
Union Flag--We have received copy of
Il patriotic sheet, bearing the above title,
published by the soldiers at Rome, Georgia.
We observe that I. p SrREErER, formerly
typo in this Office, is local editor, and, judg.
ing from the number before us, "Tuo"
makes his department very interesting. N.
iIARrER, of the 9th Iowa Infantry, is editor
in-chof, and favors his readers with vigor-
Gus and well-wrtten editorials. The Flag is
u iiyc-column sheet, aud presents a neat ty-
biographical appearance.

Ue~letfs Lectme.-Mr. S. VI. Hewlett
who was announced to speak on " Rum and
Rebellion al Presbyterian Church on Sab
bath afternoon last, did not make his ap
lsearance, and large audience, which had
assembled to hear the distinguished speaker,
were disappointed. We have not heard the
cause of his non appearance explained, and
learn that he disappointed the people of Wa
terloo in the same manner, having been ad.
vertiscd to lecture there on the n,ornitg Of
the same day.
