We publish the Election Precincts for the
present year, as established by the Board OF
Supervisors. We should have done so last
week. but the clerk informed US some changes
in the Boards Of election would probably be
made.
In cur last issue We spoke Of the improper
manner in which precincts were cur;a'led'
Upon more minute examination Of the
precincts established we find that Supervisor
Scott has provided well for his own Town
ship, No. 5, giving it no less than four pre-
cinc.s, and two Of them, Yankee jim and
Fores, Hill, only about a mile apart. No. 5
bas voting population ofabout 400. This is
all we'll enough, and we do not Object to it
the people should have every convenience
possible for voting. But we do object to The
manner in which some Of the Townships
have been deprived of precincts For in
stance in No. !, persons will bave TO travel
l2 or Is miles 10 get TO Roseville 10 vote.
In No. 2, it is not SO bad. In No. 8, With a
voting population as large as No. 5, we are
cut down 10 one precinct, and some OF our
population is at much greater distance from
the place Of voting. The precinct Of Rock
Creek is abolished Which polls large vote,
and is increasing in population. Also Nel's-
burg, six miles from Auburn. Where was
Supervisor Dodd's spectacles' For the dis
tauce Of 20 miles, between Auburn and Col.
fax, there is no precinct! No.4, is very well
provided for otherwise. In No 6, the pre-.
cinct ofupper Horse Shoe Bar, on the Amer
lean river, has been abolished, compelling
the voters to climb those steep mountains
for several miles, 10 vote at Michigan Bluff
or Bath, or stay at home. We think this
decidedly an injustice.
In No. 7; they have abolished Wisconsin
Hill precinct; compelling its citizens TO cross
the canyon to Iowa Hill to vote. 1t is twice
as far, and much worse road than from
Yankee Jim TO Forest Hill. Supervisor
Richmond must have been asleep about the
time That it was done. Little Township 8,
with about 200 voters, gets three precincts.
No. 8 with more voters only gets one
Smilhvils is the place, while New Castle six
miles from Smithvile, and polling nearly
double the number of votes Of the latter is
abolished. Dodd must have been trying 10
wake Richmond up about that time, and
Scott done the business for 0. No. 10 will
do on pinch, although the Dunn Shed pre-
cinct ought to have been retained.
No. 10, is a new Township, and We believe
its inhabitants are principally ceutered at
Cisco.
While the Eastern portion Of the county
is given Is precincts, the West portion ia
is only allowed but 7. What foel thing
will The Board do mex!

FoR GovERNoR.-Some Of our Radical ex-

the name of John Bidwell for Governor

Of the Radical nomination than We do. The
Pacific Railroad Company own that ins,itu

A STORMY WEHK.-We have ha' very
stormy week. On Monday night snow fell
to the depth Of an inch, giving the country
quite wintry appearance. 1t however
melted of rapidly the next day, since which
time we have had our full share of rain
On Thursday the flood gates" seemed to
have opened, aud it poured down. Some
of the ravines about Auburn were higher
than ever known by "lhe oIdes; inhabitan,,"
especially was it so with Rich Flat Ravne,
which emp!ies into Auburn Ravine near the
Turnpike. l. oveltlowed Robert Gordon's
garden and carried away a portion Of his
fencing; it also flowed into the cellar in the
basement of Odd Fellows Hall completely
sa,ura,ing about fifty sacks of barley for j.
r Gwynn. A half mile below town the
Turnpike was submerged for awhile.
The weather higher up in the mountains
must have been very disagreeable. The
cars failed to reach Cisco on Wednesday.
To the farmers, however, the rain is a
welcome visitor, as the cold North winds OF
last week dried up the grain very much, and
it needed good rain to make it thrifty
again.

McGREGOR, IOWA, WEDNESDAY, JULY "a, 1867

Plenty of employment they give one, keep
ing them all in order but oh this def
cious unwlllingness to . suffer and he
strong" for any purpose whatever
GOING A FISHING.
Did you ever 90 o fishing for nothing in
the country? Did you ever take pretty
scarlet fly, and, with line and rod, saunter
idly along, dipping and angling in stream
where you were pretty sure neither trout
nor minnow ever lurked The sport is
very tranquil, and unless you are consti-
tutionally fond Of fish and arc accidentally
hungry, just as satisfactory as though you
hook more trout than you could carry
home. One does not always fish for fish,
but the accompanying reverie. What pic
lures follow in the wake Of the line and
rod What "reminiscences come ripping
up with the tranquil stir of the water Of
what bygoncs the sedges and the rushes
along the stream remind one What spots
long unvisited the king-fisher recalls as he
"squawls" above the spot, dipping his
wings as he goes! The water spider
spreads on the surface and skins across
tho pool the "ch;prys'' swing on the tair
mullens dl0ng the path not "a fish bites
to disturb the utter placidity Of yoor ang-
ling. oh! how delicious it is to be good
for nothing and premeditately lazy Men
fnrcet the rates of interest and the days
when notes nm sau. ,>.xnsnen. .ce,se to think
of plain sewing and the broom children
become religious in the country if any
where, and heaven itself seems nearer than
it does above tall brick houses. Labor may
have its times to be mobile and holy y but
there is dignity in fishing without profit,
and satisfaction in wilful idleness, that
every city taxpayer ought to taste to his
hearts content between this and October.
When the frost bites, let the fish bite too:
when the children need their clothes, mend
them when the blood stirs so that mos
quitos find it too stimulating, then labor
may be noble and holy-but, in July, idle
ness is justification without works.
=. The waters in their path rejoice,
The hills together Sleep"
Even the cat by the door drowses away the
day in state of mastery inactivity, and
nobody but printers, editors, and convicts
think that it is just as well always to keep
busy?
