The smallpox Is prevailing to an
alarming extent in q portion of Seventy
Six and Cedar townships, in. this county.
Some twelve or fifteen cases are reported
IN the neighborhood of the Brick
Church.-Museaeine Journal,
Lieut.. Col. Archer, of the 18th Iowa
infantry, arrived at Keokuk last Friday,
having just returned from Richmond,
where he was for three months confined
in the Libby Prison, as . prisoner. The
colonel says that the treatment Of our
soldiers on Belle Island battles all de
scription, and could not be worse were
they in the hands Of savages.-Gate City.
The soldiers supper, on last Friday,
was q complete and gratifying success.
Over 200 soldiers, many of them vete-
rams, with their ladies, also the wives OF
considerable number of soldiers now
in the field, making in all about 50O
persons, sat down to tables literally load
ed with great variety of most excellent
and substantial viaHds-- 0skakooSd Herald.
On Monday evening last, three of our
towns sportsmen brought in sixty-three
ducks and one goose, the result of ole
days shooting among the islands few
miles up the river. We think that hard
to beat.-Lyons Mirror.
The editor Of the Winterset Hawk Eye
Flag says There are at this very mo-
ment Office holders in Madison county
who were not only supported in the can
Yass by this paper, but who secured their
nomination, in part, by the services OF
its editor, who are not subscribers for
it,"
Why dent you thrash " into such
pups You would be doug the commu-
nlty a favor by the publication of their
names HawkEys.
We meet, occasionally, with such a
case, in our experience, but they are
very rare, and soon die. It seems to be
a regulation of Providence that, q man
can't get to be as mean as that, and live.
We learn by the Lansing Journal that
on the 18th ult., at Waukon. Francis D.
Steadman was married TO Miss Julia Ellis
A striking feature Of this affair is the fact
that the happy bridegroom is but nine
teen years of age, and the blushing bride
"has just turned her twelfth year "
The parents of these young hopefuls
should give them a spanking and send
them to-separate bsds-Ac Gregor NesCs

McDowelps majority over Anthony for
mayor of Leavenworth is 985. McDoweils
vote was 1884; Anthony's $40. The
formers ticket was elected throughout
Relative to the disturbances attending
the election the Conservative, of the
following morning, says:
Yesterday will long be remembered by
the citizens of Leavenworth. Border
ruffian oatrages were thrown into the
shade. None Of the disgraceful acts
which marred the early history of Kan
sas were equaled by yesterdays proceed
ings. A mob was organized in the Office
of J. L. Mcdowell, United States Mar
shall, on Sunday, the object of which was
to defy the civil authorities, and prevent
peaceable citizens voting. They COM
menced their operations by taEing pos>
the morning of yesterday. An organized
band was at each poll TO resist the au-
thoritiess> Red Clark, ]. L. Mcdowell,
Lane, c. r. Jennison and yellow Tom,
were the leaders of the mob. At the
first ward polls, Mayor Anthony was
knocked down by yellow Tom, while
endesvoriag to preserve the peace. See
ing that the mob had possession of the
polls, and that no man could vote con-
trary to their dictstion, he ordered the
polls to be closed until peace could be
restored. Gen. Davies VIA called upon,
but refused TO use the military to pre-
serve the peace. Under these circuuA-
stances the peaeeable citizens stayed
away from the polls, and the mob bad
them under their control from half past
10 o'clock for the balance Of the day.
We hare ssen elections in this city In
border ruflan times, but have never yet
seen anything equal to yesterday. Every
citizen must kseniy feel the deep and
damning disgrace that has been inflicted
upon the city. The officers Of the United
States who have figured so conspicuously
in this disgraceful affair should be imme-
diately dismissed from Office.
Marshal Schott, one of the victims Of
the mob, we are informed, is dead. Sew

beaten, ws understand; are lying very

Our venerable cotemporary, with a
very conscientious regard for the truth Of
history. most emphatieai!y denies the
fact that he was formerly al Abolition
lecturer in Tazewell county, Illinois.
We admire his courage in sdhSring
strictly to his story-it is an old saying
that "he we'll stuck to. is as good Is
the truth" Our neighbor seems disposed
to prove it. His adhesiveness is
commendable, but his discretion is not
to be admired, in so pertenaciously de-
nying what everybody knows to be
true--the truth of which can be estab-
lished by more than q thousand eye aad
ear witnesses, who have seen and heard
the proof of what we assert. Why, our
neighbor himself never denied this fact
until very recently bat now, thinking
that the circumstance had been forgot
ten, he denies, positively, that he WAS
ever in TazsEell county, and that he
ever lectured on Abolitionisml We ex-
peet next to hear of him denyiag that
he forgot to settle up when he left the
Land Office, but didat forget to carry
away with him about ten thousand dol
