Andy Gaffney, our friend and the friend
Of everybody who is disposed to harmony
rather than hate, has closed his show ca
reer for the season and is now at home |;
he reports a nett profit to the circus Of Or
ton & Co., of over $4,000. In Andy's
travels through Indiana and Michigan he
SAYS he saw many of our acquaintance
and what is remarkable, he found no one
that spoke ill of us! We mention this
simply to suggest that old chums of those
states cannot be in receipt of tho elegant
radical newspapers of this region; belief
| in their statements would bar us from as
| ISOLATION with eastern acquaintance,
though tho statements do not weigh against
us where the state-ers are known......L. r..
Gilbert ESQ.,, of Read, is our creditor for o
gallon or more of the best currant wine
ever made we & Co. are very grateful for
the courtesy as well as the wine. Why
cannot wine be made of the wild plum, so
abundant in this region ....John Runkel

mining development in Colorado. He is
well known and esteemed in McGregor.
Col. Brisbois, federal, Assessor at p. du
Chen, is removed and j. G. Knight of La
fayette Co. is the appointee. We regret
this Knight may be all competency, but
the Col. was splendid officer and in our
very intimate association with him We
never heard him speak word Of political
partizanism. We take him now for con.
servatiye and believe his removal was
caused by misrepresentation......The Col
lego at p. du Chen is filling up with STU
dents. 1t is pleasing to see our young
folks every morning vending their way to
the Ferry Boat with books and satchels.-
We ought to have College at McGregor.

......Alf. Wingate is the appointed agent
of the Merchants Union Express, soon to

way died last week. 900. Flanders is in the

no question but that the company mean
business and will demonstrate it forthwith
| 1.-THE Prairie du Chen college is prov
ing success beyond the highest hopes Of

A sand-slide, a day or two since, sent
