The Burlington Hawk-Eye states
that family living near that city has
been visited by mysterious sickness,
from which the father has died and
two or three others are seriously i'll,
resulting, as is supposed. from eating
pork from hogs which had been attack
ed by and recovered from hog cholera.
Some of the symptoms attending the
attacks, which were sudden and vio-
lent, are severe pain in the head and
other parts Of the body, excessive vom-
iting, and the appearance of black and
hardened spots on the surface Of the
body. Physicians are investig ating
the matter.

Saddles and Harnesses.

Stepping into Adams & Harwoods
harness shop, in this village, the other
day, we were surprised to find they
had on hand such large stock OF
made up work. They have large
number of ready made harnesses, sim
gle and double, of almost every varie-
ty, all made of the very best stock
and in q highly finished and workman
like manner. They keep several men
constantly employed, manufacturing {;
and repairing, which shows that the
harness business has greatly increas-
ed in Charles City within the last year
or two. No more honorable men to
deal with can be found than Messrs.
Adams e. Harwood, as every one knows
who has dealt with them.

Iowa soldiers,
The Senate has passed a bill re-
modelling the government of the Agri-
cultural College and Farm also, a
bill increasing the pay of county sur.
veyors from 50 to 81 per day. The
House Committee reported back the
bill forbidding the publication of de-
linquent tax lists in any paper not pub
fishing six months before the first of
September amended so as to read two
months. The bill appointing DIR. White,
of johnson county, State Geologist,
has passed. The House, after much
discussion and proposing many amend
ments, appropriated $500 per year
for two years. The pay of DR.. White
is $4,000 or not more than four dollars
per day. He is limited to one assist
ant and must furnish papers with in
terestipg articles for publication.
In the Senate, the bill to amend the
revenue law relative to the redemp-
ton of real property sold for taxes
was lost. Bills were passed providing
that railroad companies can issue pre-
ferred stock when two.thirds of the
stockholders are in favor of it to in
crease the pay of surveyors to "a per
day to regulate appeals to Supreme
Court to appropriate three thousand
dollars to the Law Department Of the
State University.
In the House, a bill was passed ex-
empting printing establishments, to
the amount of $500, from execution.
The school bill was under discussion a
long time, and was numerously amend
ded, and passed.
lnthe Senate, the bill authorizing
towns and cities to regulate the sale OF
liquors was emphatically laid on the
table--36 to 6. The bill providing for
appeals in school matters was lost for
want of constitutional majority. The
bill relative to the salaries of Supreme
and District Court Judges has finally
reached vote. 1t passed the Senate
by 20 to IL. The bill called out a
great deal of debate. The original
bill, as sent by the Senate to the House,
was so amended as to allow 81 800 per
year to the District Judges, and 81, 300
to the Supreme Judges, and that is the
way it stands. The signature of the
Governor will certainly be affixed to it.
So the much vexed question of judicial
salaries has been finally decided, at
least until another session of the Gene.
raj Assembly. The School bill was
sent to third reading. This general,
ly amounts to a passage of a bill, but
in this case it is quite doubtful what
will be the fate of this bill, although
the probability is that it will finally

a boy living near Lancaster, Grant
county, Wis, lately met with a horri.
bic accident. The boy was cleaning
up" around a threshing machine, when
his hair, which was quite long, caught
in the tumbling rod of the machine,
which was revolving very rapidly, and
in an instant his scalp was complete
ly torn from his head, leaving the skull
completely bare. The boy was alive
at last accounts, and strongly hoped
to recover, but physicians declared re-
