A CHURN.-Mr. NEVILLE is now looking
North Iowa over with most singular
and valuable churn Ethe right to manu-
facture and vend he wishes to transfer to
others. 1t is simply rocker or cradle.
We cannot describe it well. Imagine a
cradle below, a large tin rocker above,
which is to contain the cream, the Their
mometer attached, which is to regulate the

Weather Predictions for J une.

This month commences stormy and
changeable, which prevails some days.
Fair and warm-after the Sth-through
the middle of the month, except showers
of rain, with sudden squalls of wind at
times, and in some places hail. After the
oath, dry and hot weather sets in of some
continuance.
Rain-more or Lessor wind may be
looked for on the 18th, (perhaps the Sth)
18th and oath.
The summer quarter commences this
month, on Friday the 2lst, at nineteen
minutes past ten o'clock p. m, when the
earth has acquired her greatest distance
southwark of the equator, and touches the
first point of the tropical Capricorn, thus
presenting to our northern hemisphere the
greatest portion of the day; that is, when
the sun comes nearest to our zenith.
On the moor the sheep are straying,
Swallows skip above the meads;
In the brook the fish playing,
Cattle gambol as they feed.

I'm. Democratic Convention.

The notice ut the head of our columns
announces the g of June next as the day
fixed for the Democracy of Iowa to assem-
bio in Convention in this city. This is one
week subsequent to the meeting of the Rad
icals in Convention.
This is an important meeting, and it be-
comes the Democracy to see that every
county of the State is fully and ably repre-.
scented. We want the prestige OF a full
Convention and the benefit of our ablest
men in council, that the platform may be
well matured and discreet nominations
made.
Questions of the most serious import are
in issue between the two parties--questlons
involving the stability of the government
and the rights and interests of the laborlne
classes. Not that we would array fact
ious spirit of warfare between labor and
capital, or give to one class an undue
prominence over the other; but we have
an Executive and members of the Genera
Assembly to elect, whose action will have
bearing on national legislation, and it ii
vitality important that a proper direction
should be given to that legislation. Th'
people are egregiously oppressed with tax
alton, and from present indications thu
tariff is to be increased and the burdens o
the people multiplied, while the enormou,
revenues arising from direct and indirec
tax, viii fall short of meeting the curren
expenses of the government. Every far
mer and every laboring man in the country
has direct interest in the selection o.
men for office, who will not only oppose
any increaSe IF tho foriH b,,t urra Sucl
notifications IF the present tariff as tt
equalize the burdens of the people, and
who will urge such reform in the tinancia
policy of the government as to compel the
rich to share the burdens Of government
We hope to see man placed at the heae
of the Democratic ticket, who will discuss
these questions ably and fearlessly, and
who will visit every county in the State
With such man on the stump and the
aid of thorough Township, County and
State organization, we may hope to in
crease largely the Democratic vote, if VIZ
do not cary the State. And be it remem
bered that it is by no means impossible
that we should redeem as black State a!
Iowa.
The time is not far distant when thu
producing class must take the power into
their hands aud expel from Office those WHIT
are multiplying their burdens. They can
not withstand the pressure much longer
Taxation is daily impoverishing them, ant
if they do not soon lift the weight from
their shoulders it will be too grievous fol
them to stand up under it.-Des Nome.

LIQUOR CAsEs.-Last week this little
burg was excited. The Court is in session
at Elkader and orders to SO or less, came,
ITO be and appear before the Grand Jury
Of the Court. Some went and some did mt
went, and some were sent for: the latter
"went." About So 'true bills were
found; the Monona liquor dealers, against
whom liquor sales were previously charged
were, under the arguments of II. Noble
ct al, discharged the jury disagree
ing or failing to convict. The general bus
mess Of both Court and Jury is well known
to our citizens and we await results. The
probability is that but few saloons in Nc
Gregor will be allowed to live.

FAIRBANKS ScALEs.-About forty years
ago the Messrs. Fairbanks invented and
began manufacturing these Scales, and
ever since then their business has steadily
and rapidly increased, and they have kept
far ahead of all competition. During the
last year they added largely to their works,
and their scales were very greatly in excess
Of any former year. This fact is unusual,
if not unparalleled, in the history of inven-
tons and business in this country, and
proves clearly that their Scales are in all
respects just what the people want.

The immortal Byron, in his poem OF
"The Island" sings thus the praise OF
"the Indian weed -
Sublime tobacco!-which from east to west
Cheers the tar's labours or the Turkman's rest;
Which on the Moslems ottoman divides
His hours,-and rivals opium and his brides;
Magnificent In Stamboul but less grand,
Though not less loved, in Mapping or the Strand
Divine in hookas, glorious in pipe,
When tipped with andre, mellow, rich and ripe;
Like other charmsrs, wooing the caress
More dazzlingly when daring in full dress;
Let thy true lovers more admire by far,
Thy naked beauties-Give me q cigar!
