the ground work for a romance in real
life, which for thrilling interest, is scarcely
cquallod by the most startling pages Of
fiction. Midway between the contending
hosts was the residence Of we'll to-do

beautiful girl Of eighteen, wandered from
place to place, unable to find any trace Of
her relations. Finally remembering that
she had often heard her father speak OF
having q brother in Dcleware county,
Indiana, she, with difficulty made her way
to her uncle's, who, after hearing her
story, gave her cheerful welcome, and
With him shc had found home ever

THAT MAIL ROUTE,

The Fayettc Record, in referring to the
complaints Of the Fayetse Co. Onion, that
the present mail arrangement from lnde-
pendence does not accommodate West Union,
says:
ave see in the Buchar an Co. Bulletin an
article from the Dubuque Herald and also
Fayette Co. Union concerning the mail
facilities in this county. It complains that
tie city of West Union is not half SO we'll
accommodated rs when the route was Q tri.
weekly one from Manchester, and seems to
sigh for return to the old order Of things.
That is purely Democratic etrograde-and
may scrsc the purpose of the inhabitants at
West Union. That place would then have
a daily from Manchester--three times .
week by this place and the same by Elka>
der, making q concentration of seven mail
routes at tina, point, while Fsyctte would
have but one route, and that tri-weekly
one. We understand the motive, we think,
and think the disease is parallel case with
that of the Democracy. Democrats are
afraid TO give the negro half chance for
fear he will ontsirip them in the race for
civilization and common decency. The citi.
zens of West Union are fearful Of giving
Fayc,te any privileges lest she sometime
snake the county seat away from them,
cour. house and all. We pity their terror,
as it has infested them SO long. The "nig.
egr' is fast gaining ground, and SO is Fay.
cite.
But laying aside all comparisons and mo.
tives which actuate the citizens of West
Union, we will state that for the county at
large, the present route is probably no better
than the former ore, yet We 10 not wish to
see it changed back. We are entitled to the
present route and the one from Manchester,
or Strawberry Point besides.
West Union Il city, We know, but il is
not oil Of Fsyette county BY several square
miles.
We shall proably have better mail facili.

built from McGregor to Des Moines, and
then will follow and increase Of inhabitants,
and ultimately the county seat Keep cool,

BE- The recent musical and dramatic
entertainments given by the Good Templars
and Odd Fellows at the Court House, de.
veloped an amount Of amateur dramatic
talent in our midst quite surprising to our
citizens.

effects of intemperance in destroying the
happiness Of home and family and degrad-
ing man TO even a lower level than the brute,

their influence upon the minds of those who
witnessed their performance. Both pieces
were well performed throughout. Mr. C. E.

hibited excellent characterization, sustain.
ing the part well to the end. His rendering
of the maniac in the closing dungeon scene
was especially fine. Mrs. o. G. Luckey's
rendering of Ruth" the drunk ards wife.
was most effective, and won for her many
encomiums from the Audience. Mr.. Law
ton, as Edward" in "The Dlunkard,' .
more than sustained his excellent reputation
as delineatcr Of character. He seemed to
enter fully into the spirit Of the play. Mrs.
Luckey, as the drunkarl's wife, sustai ned
her part exceedingly we'll. In the comedy
" Handy Andy" and the farce, "The
Rough Diamond" and aSwiss Cottage
Mr.. Strong displayed his peculiar talent as
q comedian to good effect, provoking almost
constant laughter.
The minor parts in all the plays were
well sustained. Messrs. Reed, o. G. Luck.
ey, Young, French, Fulton and Misses Un-
ger, Jaques and Cooper, all deserve
especial mention.
The closing tableau in "The Bottle is
conceded to be the finest ever brought out
in this city. |. is seldom equaled on more
pretentious stages.
The music both vocal and instrumental.
was fine throughout. The orchestral mu-
sic was furnished principally BY Prof. Buerk-
ley upon the piano, and Mason with the VIC.
lin. Prot. Buerkley, whose playing charmed
everybody, very generously gave the bene-
fit Of his services to the societies, as did al,

ably assisted on the piano. Mr.. Mason
gave two or three solos upon the vioin with
excellent effect.
Taken as whole, no performance ever
given in the city afforded more general salts.

The receipts were satisfactory, netting
the societies about $l2O. This together
