Hoo CnoLERA, We learn that this dis
ease is alarmingly prevalent in this region,
and that hogs are perishng by scores with
it. John Patterson lost forty hogs last
week, l.. ID. Ingersoll eighty, John w. Pier:
son ten, German forty, and others large
numbers by its ravages. People are be.
coming alarmed, and many, as fast as OPP
portunity offers, are dspOsing Of their hogs
TO drovers, while others feed sparingly with
the intention Of keeping them over. There
are none too many in the country now, but
swine will be scarcer than ever unless the
virulencc Of the disease finds abatemen,
soon.-Burlington Hamkeye, 3Oh.
| A TERRIBLE OUrRAaE.--With the above
head, one of our prominent Republican jour
nails very sensbly discourscs on the recent
outrageous case Of lynching at Pella. The
revolving affair is pictured with all its bru-
tai horrors, and the remonstrance concluded
with the declaration that 1--WE must have
civilized law. not mob law" or course we
see no more propriety in the attempted
murder Of the young man Gale, than We did
in the attempted assassination Of Secretary
Seward by the reckless rufiian Payne, but
we consider this disgraceful transaction, the
direct result Of the teachings Of the radical
journals Of our State. After doing their
utmost TO incitc excited, thoughtless, and
unprinciplcd mobs to destroy the Demo
cratic press, and to either Danish or muir
der its leaders, We consider the above de-
claration remarkable concession to the
party that for several years has been en-
desvoring to persuade our people that mob
law is not justice. A more striking exhibi-
ton Of the blind heartessness Of mob
could not be given; an innocent man is seiz
ed by strangers who know nothing Of the cir
cumstances Of the alleged robbery, is given
few moments to Offer up what he and they
! believed 10 be his last pray ers, is Knocked
and blasphemed while reciting them, and
then hanged like dog till life is deemed cx
tinct. We cannot SOW tares and rear
grain. If the aim Of the public press i.
r towards anarchy and violence,w we cannot ex
, pect law and order. In order to have civil,
; ICED law, We must teach civilization. w,
hope our radical friends will consider tn,
late occurrence = lesson worth remember
