4 DEER CAUGHT IN OTruMwA.-we
mean the deer, not dear, as some may sup
pose. Bears are plenty and are caught eve
ry day, but deers, the kind we now allude
to, the veritabls aninsal Of the name, is not
caught every day in the heart Of the great
city Of Ottumwa. That's what makes the
incident we have to, relate interesting
This morning about 10 o'clock pack of
bounds dashed into the city from the di-
receion OF the prairie on the East, in hot
pursuit Of deer, which they had stnrted
out on the prairie and: ruH into town, and
would, perhaps, have run into the river
but the deer was SO astonisled at a sight of
the magnificent pile which has been erect
ed on College Square for educational pur-
poses, that it was brought to bay there,
captured and dispatched. The incident
created quite an excitement among sports
mon, and will give additional zest to

need not be expressed, formally. But it is
implied, inevitably. Their nomination of
him is an Overture" and his acceptance
Of that nomination aud of their support, Is
'.pledge" of the strongest possible kind.
When Benton, therefore, says there have
been no overtures or pledges between him
and the Copperhcad party of this State,
and that he does not know whether no will
receive their support or not, he states what
he knows to be untrue. he already has
the support Of that party, and it is through
| its votes that he mainly relies in his hope
of an election. He knows that if heshould
be successful, they would be the foremost
applicants for the fruits of his victory, and
that if he should turn the cold shoulder to
them, he would add the sin of ingratituds
to that Of hypocricy, and would look in
vain for friends or supporters anywhere
If Gen. Benton considers it his personal
privilege to sell himself to the enemies o
his former party and of his Government
we are sorry for his own sake that he could
not have shown more plausible pretext
Silence would have been brilliantly elo
qusnt for him in comparison with his Let

The LAW OF THE FINGER RINo.-If a
gentleman wants o wife, he wears a ring
on the first finger of the left hand; if he is
engaged, he wears it on the second finger;
Unmarried, on the third; and OH the fourth,
If he never intends to set married. When
lady is notengaged she wrarsa diamond
ring on her first finger; if engaged on the
second; If married, on the third; and on the
fourth if she intends TO be maid. When
a gentleman presents fan, flower or trim
ket to lady with The left hand. this, on his
part Is an overture Of regard should she
receive it with the left hand, it is consid-
cred as an acceptance Of his esteem; but if
with her right hand 1t is a refusal of the
offer. Thus, by "A few simple tokens, ex-
planned by rule, the passion OF love is ex-
pressed.

II. Hon. Z. II. Sears, of Fremont county
in this State, IA man of intelligence, and
formerly far more Conservative Rspub-

Carolina that in his judgemcnt-andhe has
had good opportunities for observing-the
blacks, unless enfranchised, will he i'm a
worse condition than when enslaved, and
that they wiu not be enfranchised unless
the General Government shall make it q

be. On this point we will offset Judge
Sears opinion against Benton's, and leave
every reader To judge Of other testimony
for himself. Benton seems to think the
votes Of white traitors will be tho only
guaranty of safety for the Federal cause in
the South. We knoW the blacks were the

war. Inasnuch az they proved their fidel-
