The IVcather.--July was an extreme
ly hot month; but August SO far has
been more cool and comfortable. This
week we ::have had very copious rains,
which have interfered somewhat with
harvesting; but we do not hear of any
damage done as yet to the grain. The
mud has been quite deep in the roads
and streets, making locomotion any
thing but pleasant.

GrinneU CoNege.-Our readers will
notice to-day the advertisement Of this
flourishing institution, which is situa-
ted in Poweshiek county, directly to
the south of US.
This College has had remarkable sue
cess, and is limited in its attendance
only by its Accommodations and the abil-
ity of the town to provide for the stu
dents. It has recently secured Rev.
Geo. F. Magoun as its President, in
which 1t is fortunate beyond almost
any other similar institution in the
West. Mr.. Magoun is one. of tho fore
most men of this or any other part Of
the country. Of his ability and elo-
quence, none who has heard him will
have any doubt. We believe, says the
Iowa City Republican lat the very seat
of the State University, } we believe that
this College is destined to be one of the
foremost institutions in this foremost
State. The resources, intelligence and
love of learning of the great denomina-
ton to which it belongs will make it
such.
A new arrangement for the cheapest
possible board for young men is propos-
ed; namely, Club rooms at the College
Boarding House. Some 80 young ladies
can be received at the Boarding House !;
apply to the Treasurer before the open
ing of the term. The Trustees are pre-
pairing for a large increase, especially of
Normal students. The new College
Hall is under way, and will be pushed
to completion.
A Prize Defamation will occur dur
ing the Fall Term, $50 prizes being Of
fered by Hon. VIM. Hyde, Ware, Mas
sachusetts. Hon. Samuel Wiliiston
pledges second $4,000 to the endow-
ments, and the College is now the best
endowed in the State, after the State
University, and the very best manned.
The village has greatly improved this
last year, and other improvements arc
going forward. Grinnell is the place to

. On a Bcnder.-Three festive young
men from the country got into a scrape
last Saturday night. They had been
harvesting, and feeling somewhat jubi-
liant, they undertook to spree it. and
got somewhat tight. In this condition
they became light fingered, and were
arrested for stealing pair of shoes from
Trowbridge's. After quiet Sabbath
in the lock-up, they were on Monday
brought before Justice Mcclure, under
the names Of Leichty, Burnheiser, and
John Doe. But the latter common
place designation Of the law was found
to be an alias for Stickley, the real
name. They were also accused of steal
ing cigars at Toss 4 Denton's Saloon
but this complaint was dropped. On
the other charge, Lcichty got off, but
thc other two were fined, each $40 and

they retired to their rural abode in
