The 9Th In Jesup.

The National Birthday in Jesup raised
off as pleasantly as its best friends could
wish. Despite the failure of Mayor Jones
Of your city to attend, after requesting the
invitation, the sun did not refuse to give his
lgh, but shone as brightly a. usual. The
committee Of arrangements had through the
generosity Of our people good round sum
provided them, and to their credit be it said
the whole thing was brilliant success. AT
o'clock A. N. in the morning . National
salute Of thirty seven guns ushered in the
day, and soon the various thorougheares
which lead into the town were thronged with
wagons and teams ofall description. Every
thing wore grand holiday appearance and
the sunny faces which met the eye whichever
way it turned we're but the index Of the day
AT 10 O'Clock the grand procession, unde,
Command Of Messrs. DAILY, Rosencrans pnd
Fisk, and headed by the Independence Cor>
net Band, moved from the Empire House.

began. After music by the Band. The Jesup
Gee Club sang I" Who shall rule this Amer.

Chaplain Ayres led off Ia prayer followed by
the Declaration Of Independence by Jno. ].
DAILY. The Rev d. G. Hamilton, of Cedar
Falls as Orator Ct the day gave one Of the
most finished, classical orations to which il,
it ever been our lot TO listen. Patriotism
brea,hed through every word, and the ring
Of the true metal was shown by every sens
tencc. In word, it was an Grafton in every
way worthy of the day. We forgo, to men.
ton that one Of the most pleasing features of
the day was the pyramidal wagon drawn by
four black horses, on which were seated 81
young ladies, representing the several States,
surrounding the god and goddess of liberty.
Miss Alice Muncy represented the god
deas, and a flaxen haired youth, whose name
We have learned is Master Laird, was the
god of Liberty. After dinner, .oas.s and
speeches we're given by Rev. Vim. Caldwell.

grand display of fireworks, at which
great many persons we're present. To the
credit Of the residents and visitors a, Jesup.
on that day, be it said that not one intoxica-
ed person was seen on our streets. Thus
passed off one Of the pleasantest i,hs We have
ever attended.

Tux l.EssoS.-The experience of our ALL
grain raising farmers during the present
season, ought to serve as a profound lesson,
md q stern note of warning. They raise
their wheat, usually good crop. If the
price is high, they do we'll; if low, they
inevitably run behind. Perhaps under the
stimulus of a high price, they sell short, and
as last spring, when seeding comes, they
have to bay at still higher rates, and per-
haps at a great sacrifice. They have then
no resources until after harvest, and are
compelled to resort to every conceivable
shift to get along. Is there not better way !?
Any man who has Investigated the subject
of dary.ng, must be convinced that the far
mer's 'rae policy is 10 give more prominence
TO that branch OF agriculture. The wonderful
success Of cheese factories in our neghhpr-
ing counties. reveals the true road to wealth,
and we trust our farmers will soon be found
travelling over il. We nave some excellent
cheese makers in this county. Among the
most successful, we may refer to Mr.. II.
Pearsall, whose farm is situated about six
miles east of this city. Mr.. p Manufactures
a very superior article, and the consequence
is constant demand for it among the lov>
crs Of good cheese. He never fails to re-
ceive the highest price. Any farmer who
doubts the profits Of cheese making over
wheat raising would do we'll Ia consult snch
successful cheese makers as Mr.. Pearsall.

FIRE At CEDAR FAILS.
Loss, $4,000.

From the Cedar Falls Gazette, extra, We
learn that disastrous fire occurred in that
city on Tuesday evening, the 10th. The
Gazette, under date Of the 18th, gives the
following account of the fire.
A Fire was discovered last evening about
10 o'clock in the dry goods store Of I. Haz-
lett, on the Fest side Of Main Street, near
the race. When discovered the fire was
near the rear OF the store, ON aud Under the
counter. In spite of the efforts of those
who were at hand, the flames spread rapid
", soon envcloping the building, destroying
the entire stock Of goods. The fire thencom>
muncated to the adjoining buildings, rem
dering it necessary to destroy several build
ings in order to stop the spread ofthe flames.
The citizens worked manfully and to their
exertions may be attributed the che .king of
Of the flames. At times the buildings on
the opposite side Of the street were in great
danger, but there being but little wind they
were saved By covering them with wet blsn
kets.
The following is list of sufferers:
A. J. Allen, shoe shop, building and
stock
I. Hazlett, dry goods, building and stock
A. Taggart & Bro, grocery store.
J. W. Plummcr, drug store, building and
stock.
Brown & Saint law office.
F. A. Tondro. furniture.
J. Goldman, shoe store and gun shop.
II. Lippold, barber shop.
SEVERN Bros, grocery, building and

$3.50, an increase Of 1874 in two years, as
We learn BY the North Ioean.

The LYcgrM.-At a meeting Of the Eek.
ecutive Committee Of the Lyceum, held en-
Thursday evening, the following resolutions
we're unanimously passed:
Resolred, That we will give our undivided
support and adherence TO the organization
known as the Associated Western Literary
Societies, and that we unqualitiedly condemn
the action OF Edwin Lee Brown, in endsay>
oring to organize . lecture bureau in antag.
onism to the Associated Societies.
Resolced. That we will employ no lecturer
who procurcs the arrangement Of his routes
through Edwin Lee Brown.
This action was taken in consequence Of
the efforts of Brown, after having been re.
jected as Secretary, to establish an OPPOSE
ton bureau, as was explained in this paper
shor, time since. There seems to be q
general determination on the part Of the So.
cetics forming the Association to stand by
the organization as their only means Of SC.
curing themselves from extortion.
Tho Executive Committee also decided
upon course Of FIVE lectures for the coming
winter, and instructed the Secretary to make
application for the following:
John B. Cough, Miss Anna L. Dickinson,
W. H.. Mlburn, f. P. Whipple, DIR. J. G.
Holland, Timothy Titcomb.)
This will make splendid course. 1t is
probable that the same system with regard
to season tickets will be pursued as last sea-
son. The arrangement worked to a charm
then, giving very general satisfaction. Due
notice will be given Of the sale of tickets, &c.

We never visit Quasqueton, without I'D.
miring the exceeding beauty OF its location.
Nature has made every preparation for
large town, and We cannot help believing
that the design will some day be fulfilled.
Should the railroad now being built from
Muscatine to Anamosa, be pushed on up the
Wapsie Valley, as is by no means iIupossi-
BILE, Quasqucton would receive an impulse
WHICH would send j. rapidly forward on
career Of prosperity. The new Touring
mill erected by Messrs. Lewis & Benthall,
makes an attractive appearance, and has
already made very perccptible difference
in trade, Notwithstanding it has not been
able to run to its full capacity, owing to re,
pairs on the dam. A substantial "bent"
dam will soon extend across the river and
bid defiance to ice and floods. This CONS
plc,cd, and the new bringe thrown open to
the public, magical change will come
over the spirit Of the town, and Qnasqueton
will be considered neither dull nor uninter
es,ing.

Hor CuLruRE Hop culture is becoming
q mania, so much so that the chances are
entirely in favor of its being oycrdone. The
present prices of hops cannot be mains
tanned ii everybody engages in their cult
walton. Vast profits have been realized
during the past three or four years by certain
farmers Of Delaware County, but SO many
are preparing to plant yards, that We hesi>
tate to advise the farmers of Buchanan
County to engage in the business. Hops
can doubtless be grown as readily in Blu.
,chanan, ms in Deeware County, but will it
continue to pay? Were the hop mania
confined TO Delaware County, the danger of
flooding tie market would be small, but the
same fever is spreading over many portions
of Wisconsin, where everybody is going to
coin fortune out Of hops. We therefore
Judge it would be an act Of prudence on the
part Of those contemplating experiments, TO
carefully weigh the chances in the game be-
fore investing their capital. There can,
however. be no possible chance Of failure in
the dairy business, especially IN cheese
making by the factory system and we trust
our farmers viii carry see their interests in
that direction
