We had the pleasure last VIC, Of passing
a day or more at McGregor in the society
of Judge TOMBSTONE Of Fl. Madison, Iowa.
He is one Of the most prominent public
men in the State: conservative in the full
sense Of the word. The Judge visited Nc
Grcgor soliciting the shipment of Produce
to the Commission House Of McMurphy,
Boyles & Johnst,ne Of Chicago. The
firm is financially very strong and socially
very agreeable. 80. Sergeant Wyman left

cline to associate with their neighbors. We

No. of the Brownsville (Texas) Loyal Ma

spunky as the London Times. The poetry
and prose of Rev. Capt. Newman of the DIST
Ill. are rich. Oh what "poick !'....

This may be so, but our ideas of beauty are
not His, as is evident from the construc

Indian, tie alligator, and thousand
other hideous things in nature q. The Du-
buque Ttmes is sold to Charley Aldrich of
Webster City for $4,000, possession May
