Az exchange says that when a piece Of iron
is thrown into trough where chickens drink
water they are not affected with chicken chol-
era. A gentleman who has tried it, says that
his chickens are thriving while those of his
neighbors are dying daily. As the chicken
cholera is raging TO some extent throughout tho
country, it might be well to try it, Iron will
not hurt fowls, and trial Of it might be bencf-
cial.

How IT STRIKES STRANaERs.-The iol.
lowing. from the Oskaloosa Independent,
shows how the result in this Representa-.
tive District is regarded abroad. This
will be the verdict of every disinterested
person, who, not sppreciating the little
game of spite INDUCED in up this way,
will look at the result in it's true and
practical bearing. The fun is just com
meDcing:-
MADNESS ss.-Col. Keith was defeated
for Representative, In one of the Doni.
phan Districts, By simpleton, because
other fools determined to prove their folly
by acting like idiots. Such conduct may
do for present vindictiveness, but it will
return to plague the perpetrators in the
end.
If we saw proper to give extracts from
numerous private letters received. the
reader would find expressions still more
emphatic and to the point On the 9th

the Copperhead organ of the State. is
highly tickled over the result.

is some probability of there being qnite

Men who have hitherto been prominent
leaders of the Republican party. went
over to the opposition. and did everything
in their power to defeat the Republican
ticket, but they have failed. In one Of
our Representative Districts. the Rspub-

A LEssoS.-Tbe defeat Of Sam. Wood

lesson to Republicans not to attempt to
push men into Office who are totally un-
worthy of it. Col. Wood is an able

he was ousted from his seat in the Con.
