1.-TWO Of our prominent men, Mr.. r. G.
Gdley g gallant f as ever
officials. made very amusing wager; the
terms were, that should D. E. Buel, dem
ocrat. be elected Mayor, DR.. Herrick should
carry . fiity pound sack of dour through
Main strees, from the LIST ward, Clifton, to
the4th ward, upper Austin, u distance of =
ing to the tune Of Dixie. The reverse was:
should Charles Holbroek, Union, be elect
ed, Mr.. Gridley would carry the hour from
his store in Upper Austin down Main
street to the Let ward, marching to the tune
of Old John Brown. eteas
The Union man was elected, and the
Copperhead paid the wager in grand style,
with big procession, ETC. The flour was
then put up at auction, proceeds to go to
the Sanitary Fund. First bid, 500, sold at
$50. Again and again it was sold, real

asks the Editor Of the eorydon Monitor,
two questions, the second one is in thesa
words: ''Do you believe in negro equality,
and giving them the right Of citizenship!''
Poor devil, he is very fearful, II the negro
becomes . citizen, he will be taken into
bstter society than the Cops are In the ha.
DIT Of associating with. We don't wonder
much 1t the Seas Of this SMITH for the
day il not far distant, when the negroes,
- class, will be moro respected, than the
Copperheads Of the present day. They
have already proved themselves truer and
better patriots. There are no traitors
among them, and they will all fight for the
Stars and Stripes, which can't, in truth, be
said for Ccpperheads. We are not in favor
Of negro equality, but If we must take our
choice between the negro and the Copper
head, give 10 the negro. And 1t is our
opinion, that If it is Constitutional for q
Copperhead to vote, it ought to be Consti-
tutional for q negro to vote.

ofCentrsl Iowa we hear the most flattering
accounts Of the prospects of crops. Abou,

and irrigated the soil just "a the farmers
would have done the Job themselves, had
each one been possessed Of exclusive and
Unlimited hydraulic control Of that portion
ofthe heavens Immediately over his plan

dry, and the way grass, and corn, and
things do climbl All nature laughs at the
prospect, and It is good joke.
