Tickets for the Fair.


~ Mrs. BEMIs has received mum.
Der of season tickets TO the Northern
Sanitary Fair, which, we believe, are to
be sold al sc each. Each ticket will
admit lady and gentleman to all de-
partments of the FAIR while it rema ms
open, and its possession will entitle the
holder to half fare tickets on the Rail
road. Each county is also to receive
credit for all The tickets sold within its
limits, which will not be the case if
bought in Dubuque. Other season tick.
cts, admitting lady or gentleman, sing
y, will also be for sale at 81 SO. These,
also, will permit the bearer to purchase
half fare tickets on the Railroad. The
Fair committee, we believe, also intend
to send out other tickets, for 3I,OO
apiece, with the expectation that many
who will not attend the Fair, will be
willing TO encourage it by buying one
or more. We hope to see a goodly
number sold in our county, for hundreds
of our people can well afford TO give a
dollar in this cause, who have as yet
given but little. Come, friends, encour.
ageth cause of the country, and help
the soldier to this extent. Tickets may
be had either Of Mrs. BEMIs, at SAMp.
soN's Book Store, or at tho Post Office.

Sensible Indeed.
~ The General Conference Of the
N. E. Church has, BY vote Of 100 for,
and 48 against. changed the rule Of linn.
iting the appointment Of preacher to
two years, and has granted to the Bish-
ops the right to reappoint for third
year. That seems to US very sensible.
as far IS it goes. But We cannot under.
stand why . Methods. Society. and a
Methodist Preacher, when mutually
agreeable 70 each other, should not have
the privilege Of continuing their Church
relationship just as long - they please.
We anticipate that the innorssisn upon
the old rule, though small now. will re-.
suit in still greater latitude hereafter.
We don't pretend to know, but it always
looked to US as if this thing Of forcing
churches and ministers to separate JUS.
about the time they come to understand
each other. is poor policy.

town, and for that reason the congrega,
ton should be assisted by our people.
The Catholic people are generally poor,
but have subscribed most literally, suf.
ficient, we believe, to carry the walls to
the roof. Father GosKER expects to get
the most Of what is farther needed, from
abroad, but hopes he may receive con.
siderable encouragement here at home.
We believe him to be an upright. pub
lic.spirited man, exercising his influence
over his church to tho advancement Of
education and for the general good Of
his flock. We wish him success in his
labors.

Incorporation.

Incorporation.
c% 1t seems quite probable, now,
that the project Of Incorporating the town
will be successful. The petition has
been signed by the great mass of the
property owners, and by majority oil
the voters. We shall probably soon
take on the dignity Of city, and we
trust that it will be the commencement
Of an age OF improvement with us as a
people. We believe such improvements
as are pressiugly needed, may be secur-
ed withou. much increased expense, in
the way Of taxes.

we'll and favorably known to our citizens,
will give Concert at the Court House,
in this place, Tor the benefit of the Aid

number of popular pieces, and as Mr..
Lascelles' Instrumentation is very fne,
the concert will unquestionably be an ex-

Soldiers, the attendance upon the psrior
