SwINDLING AFFAIR.-The brothers Thoem-
lng,butchers on Second street, Davenport,
Fer on Monday, swindled ont of $l0l.55 in a
very short time. They bought from man
who represented that ne was resident of
Scott county, living twelve miles out on the
Dubuque road, pair of oxen, paying him
the above amount for the animals. The tran
'action took place early in the morning and
no suspicion was entertained by the purchas-
ns as the individual, upon being questioned,
"d straight story aud named the persons
n'ding in his neighborhood. About two
hours after the transaction had taken place q
'afmer, who lives out about nine miles on the
Dubuque road, came to town in search of two
oxen that had been stolen from him, and
bearing of the above mentioned transaction,
| repaired to where the animals had been tax
60 and found that they were the Identical
Oo7lnes he was in search Of He obtained a
Wit of replevin and with that regained pos.
session of his property. In the meantime the
chap who had sold them made good his es.
'spe' and, although parties starte after him
various directions, he had not, at last &C
ouuts, been seen or hear of.

House BREAKING IN PLEASANT VALLEY
ia the town of Hampton, in this county, is
beautiful, large, and fertile valley, called
Peasant Valley, where are many fine farms
andgood farmers. A robbers raid was made
mere the other night, but with poor success.
IN Wednesday night four houses were enter

W. Fred Smiths, where the robbers came
near getting q charge of buckshot from q
a0uble barreled gun, and only avoided it by
'aKlng to their heels--and Fred Shrom's,
6here they helped themselves to alunch and
Ound nothing they cared to steal. Money
seems to have been their object, but the far
1efs of that fine valley are not going to

A''Wesley Bisant was visited. They failed

Dodge, of Buffalo. Scott county, Iowa. was
poisoned, few days ago. by eating bread
spread with Costar's Exterminator, prepared
to poison rats. The little fellow suffered very
severely, but his parents administered emet-
ics freely, and sent for physician, who soon
soon relieved him from all unpleasant symp-
toms. This bane is advertised as harmless

THE GRAIN CRoP.-The long spell of wet
weather has destroyed the bright crop pros
poets OF few weeks ago. Then it was
thought that all kinds of crops would be un-
precedently large. Two weeks of rain has
changed the whole face of affairs, and now
the prospect is exceedingly gloomy. A little
wheat was cut and securely stacked before
the rain, but the great bulk of the wheat,
barley and oats has been nearly ruined
Two weeks ago the corn prospect was never
better. 1t was believed that we should have
the largest yield ever known in the west.-
Two weeks of rain has dashed that hope to
the ground. The corn has grown rank to
stalks, enormously SO, for the last two weeks,
but the ear has not grown a. all-it lie scarce
iy q particle larger than it was two weeks
ago. The wheat. barley and oat crop is con-
sidered nearly ruined. and the hay crop great
~ damaged. The corn will also be an entire
failure. unless we can now have, immediate
~, long spell of dry, hot weather. No
more rain, aud hot sun for a month may
revive the corn-otherwise it must be a fail
ure.

TIE SHOOTING OF EDWARD KEHoE.-Our
readers will remember that a short ii me ago,
while the 9th Iowa regiment was passing
through Chicago, some of lis members got
into an alteration with a saloon keeper
named Mehring, and one of them, named
Edward Kehoe, was shot dead during the
melee. With no evidence to warrant such
statement certain papers were very fast to
condemn the saloon keeper, who had pro-
voked no quarrel and who had been shame.
fully beaten and hia property wholly des-
troyed, and he thrown into prison charged
with murder. The facts elected before the
coroDer's jury exonerate him and the verdict
" 10 "that Edward Kehoe came to his death in
consequence of shot fired with a pistol, and
that said pistol was fired by a man in SOL
dier's clothes, who is unknown to the larry"
A discharged soldier of the 9th, named
George W. Gee, who was one of the most ex
cited and active men in the riot, has been
placed under arrest, the indications pointing
strongly to him as the murderer. He endeav-
ored, by his testimony, to fasten the guilt
upon Mshring, but it was so contradictory
and so full of incongruities that he was
placed under arrest for perjury, and after
wards for murder. This man Gee was one
of the soldiers In the bar-room with kehoe at
the time he was shot, and witnesses identi-
fed him, although not positively, as the man
who fred the pistol
