A Cow NURSING YOU'VE PIGs.-We
learn from the Caledonian Mercury that
rather interesting case of mother
ly affection has been seen for some
time at the home farm of Balgowan,
near Methven, Perthshire. A COW,
which had lost her calf, took fancy
for litter of pigs about two months
old and they in turn, soon became at
tached to her. For number of weeks
she nursed them tenderly but as the
adopted family consisted of seven
members, and the cow had only four
teats, the harmony which had existed
for time began to breck up, and SO
quarrelsome did the hitherto happy
family become, that the cow had to be
removed from her charge. She has
been put to nurse calf, but seems
quite dissatisfied with her new foster
BARN. She often leaves the calf in the
field, and sets out in search of her for
mer family, from which her affections
do not seem to have been withdrawn.

The War in South America.

BY an arrival from Montevideo, Uru,
quay, goth July, we have additional
details of much interest regarding the
war between the Republic of Paraguay
on the one hand, and Empire of Brazil,
the Argentine Confederation and the
Republic of Uruguay on the other.
President Lopez had taken command
of the Paragraphs in person, but was
moving more cautiously than at first,
owing to several checks which his
troops had received. The allies claim
that the navy of the Paraguayans was
nearly annihilated in the battles of
Richdelo, between Paraguay and Bra
iii, and that on land the Paraguayans
had also experienced some material
repulses. The armies of all the con-
tending powers were, however, in mo-
ton, and recruiting and all kinds OF
military preparation are in progress
in every direction, but till the rain and
snow give place to more favorable
weather, it was thought no decisive
campaign would be commenced.
There were 1900 Brazilians in the
field.
A Montevideo paper announces that
a United States naval expedition Of
great strength would soon arrive on
the South American coast, accompa.
MED by a Commissioner, whose duty
it would be to demand and enforce
non-interference with the free naviga-
of the Plata river by Brazil, and the
payment by the Government of that
country of 100000 as indemnity for
American vessels destroyed by rebel
pirates in Brazilian waters. A Buenos
Ayres journal, however, says that this
story has no foundation on fact.
The city of Montevideo was said to
be in terrible condition, owing to
political intrigues, political arrests,
murders in broad daylight, burglaries
robbery and cher lawlessness.

The Philadelphia, Pa, Chronicle, has
the following under the head OF
Courtesy Rewarded"
Gan old gentleman from Iowa, some
days since, had placed under his
charge, at Philadelphia, three ladies
travelling west. At Pittsburg one of
the ladies lost her satchel, containing
some three hundred dollars. The mon
ey could not be found and the party
went on. At Chicago the old gentleman
was seized before he left the cars, the
officers asserting that they had been
telegraphed to by the woman who lost
her money to arrest him Immediately
on his arrival. He was searched, his
own money taken from him, and moth
ing saved him from prison but the fact
that he had friends in Chicago, who
convinced the officers they had seized
an honest man. The old gentleman,
we understand, has been hitherto no
ted for gallantry to unprotected fe-
males, but has resolved hereafter to
allow them to protect themselves"

It is stated that President johnson
has introduced into the White House
the largest family circle that ever oc-

is Judge Patterson, recently elected a

For the Charles City Intelligencer.
W. p, GAYLORD.

Mr.. EDITOR 1T is a well known
fact that a great effort is now being
made to secure the repeal of our pres
ent Prohibitory Liquor Law, and sup
ply it's place with license law. In
temperance is fast gaining ground in
this State, and it will summon all its
strength at Des Moines next winter to
tear from the Statute Book the law
which has hitherto so effectually held
it in check. And, Mr.. Editor, it is
generally understood among the people
of this county that w. P. Gaylord, the
Republican candidate for Representa-
tive of this District, has taken his
place in the ranks of the enemies of
temperance, and has declared himself
to be opposed to our Prohibitory Law
and in favor Of replacing it with Ii
cense law.
This is a matter of vital Importance
to the people of this representative
District, and it will be well for them
to know the man for whom they cast
their votes for this important Office !;
to beware lest they find themselves
represented by man who will use his
vote and inhuence-small though it
be-to defeat them in their efforts to
suppress the traffic in intoxicating
drinks, and who will labor to sweep
away that statute which has so long
been their shield against the vices, the
crimes and the shame of intemperance.
The people of this State have now
no public interest to subserve of great
er Importance than that of maintain
ing our present liquor law in all its
vigor and purity, and the man who
has the audacity to seek the suffrag-
es of the people that he may have an
opportunity to deprive them of this
great safeguard of public order and
virtue is utterly unworthy the support
or countenance of a christian Commu-
nifty.
Were it not, Mr.. Editor, for the
great effort now being made to effect
the repeal of this law, ! should ac-
count Mr.. Gaylord's opposition to it as
harmless and as powerless as the
noisy babbling of mountain stream
after July thunderstorm, but the fact
is that there is so much opposition to
it and so much talent being arrayed
against it that even this small item of
Mr. Gaylord's opposition may become
dangerous to the interests of the TEN.
perance community.
The times are such as to demand
true temperance even in the concils of
the State, men who will represent their
constituents and not simply them
selves.
No doubt the voters of this District
are anxious to hear from Mr.. Gaylord
on this subject, as they are um'ciLing
to cast their votes for man whose in
fluence will be used to deprive them
of their protection against one of the
greatest evils that ever cursed civil
lied community, one who will labor
and vote with and for these enemies
of public order and virtue that are
seeking wealth at the expense of the
happiness, the purity, and the integri-
ty of the people.
A FRIEND OF TEMPERANCE.
