SIR: I have the honor to call your
attention to the condition of the
streets in front of the school house
recently built by this Bureau, on the
corner of Plain and Lincoln streets,
in your city. In the present condi-
tlon of those streets, the brick foun-
dations of the building are insecure.
We wish to lay drains from the build
ing to the street, but cannot do SO
while the street remains as it is. AS
matters stand now, it is unsafe to
fence in. the lot. Iwould respectfully
request that the city authorities will
cause Plain and Lincoln streets, i'm
mediately in front of the school
house. to be filed, graded and
drained.
In making this request, I take
pleasure in believing that it is only
necessary to call your attention to
this matter, in order to have the
remedy applied. I am, very respect
fully, your obedient servant,

ARE YOU BILIOUS!-Multitudes of
both sexes will answer this question in the
affirmative; fsir, next to disorders Of the
stomach, liyor-complaints are perhaps the
most prevalent OF all internal diseases.
Its usual symptoms are yellowish tinge
in the whites of the eyes, especially near
the inner corners, an uneasy or slightly
painful sensation in the right side, pain
between the shoulder blades, sick head
ache, lassitude, mental dulIness, lack OF
appetite, and irregularity OF the bowels
Whoever recognizes this diagnosis as ap-
plying to his own condition, may be quite
certain that more bile exists in his blood
and less passes through his bowels than is
expedicnt for his health, and that his liver
requires toning and regulating.
the special uses of
HOsTETTER'S BITTERS
Is to meet just such exigencies as ohis.
Its tonic principle rouses the liver from
its torpor, and its aperient element gently
relieves the intestinal canal OF the accre-
tions consequent upon an insufficient sup
ply OF natures cathartic, the bile.
Persons OF bilious habit will find it the
best safeguard against the attacks to
which they are constitutionally predis-
posed, and should carefully avoid all the
ordinary alcoholic stimulants.

The EDITORIAL CONVENTION AGAIN.
The Clinton Herald attempts TO whitewash
the Editorial Convention held in that city,
during the Fair. You will not better il at all,
Bro. Herald. With the exception Of the adj
DRESSES, the renewal and formation OF ac-
quain,ances, and generous hospitality Of the
citizens Of Clinton, the Convention was an
inglorioas fzzlc, without any qualification.
This was not the fault Of Clinton, but in
part at least-of horse>racing. When \
lot Of men are bound to see which
animal will swing AROUND tho circle the
fastest, i, is the sheerest folly to attempt to
get any serious work out Of them. If the
Convention had been held on any ether than
the racing day of the Fair, some beneficial
results nigh. have flown from il. II is very
well for the Lyons Adrocdte to intimate that
il publishers wait for other folks to manage
their bu ~,iness, they viii die waiting, but we
presume the .idrocdte's wise head was never
bothered with bogus advertising agencies
and tla, ilk. Any man with a spoonful Of
brains must know that large associations Of
business men often accomplish results which
could never be attained by individuals. We
believe n genuine business association Of
the editors Of Iowa, might take such steps
as would generally enhance the material
prosperity Of the profession. Ii Iowa Gov.
crs too much territory, let Northern and
Southern Iowa have separate organizations.
The Clinton Herald need not be alarmed
lest that sprightly city 80 unappreciated.
II has received from the press its full need
Of praise, and needs nc self glorifcaticn
from its home paper, such as We find in its
Herald, reading:
i" Had the editors convened at any other
time, our citizens would not have let slip the
opportunity Of giving them q cordial wel>
come, the freedom Of the city, and a splen>
did banquet. They would rot have been
allowed 10 return without seeing what we
have worth showing-unbounded hospitality,
unexampled enterprise, a keen appreciation
of we'll directed talent, together with the
practical elements Of prosperity, which con
~ssitutes us the mos. thoroughly wide awake

Owing 10 the recent disbursement OF $26,-
100000, in gold, by the Government, and
the prospect Of the disbursement: of $685.
10000 more on the first Of January, the
price of gold has fallen to $l.39.
Business continues good. Owing to thc
unexpected good quality Of the corn crop,
our farmers are better off than they had any
reason to hope for, earlier in the eason.
Indeed, with them, the season has been one
of unusual prosperity, and with the low
price Of goods and the high price Of pro-
duce, the farmer who would grumble does
not deserve good fortune.
Wheat has declined a little since onr last
issue, as will be seen by the table.
Our comparative table Of prices proves of

keep up that feature Of our paper faithfully.

The winter terms Of the public schools
will open in a few weeks. Many Of the school
houses in this county are at present in NC
condition for use in cod weather. Dilspi.
dated doors. b, oxen windows and smoky
stoves or chimnsys, present a melancholy
appearance Of shiftlessness which should at
once shame the sub directors into . mani>
fas;ntion Of lively energy. The compare.
tiyely warm days should be improved in ma
king repairs wherever needed. And while
repairing, don't do it in n needless, make
shift manner, but putty the window glass
instead of lacking them, nicely finish the
plastering, instead Of loosely throwing on
the mortar, and leaving it in ranges of
hills and mountains, ard having nicely re-
paired all the broken plas.ering, whitswash
the whole interior and give it a cheerful, at>
~tractive look. Let the walls remain dingy,
and you may expect the disposition Of the
scholars soon to become assimilated. Cheer
full surroundings will foster cheerful disposi>
lions.
Do not finish the work Of repairing with
out " banking up" the foundation walls, so
as to exclude the cold blasts of winter from
sweeping under the building, AID up through
the floor. Cold feet are the greatest bare
Of boys and girls at school in winter. The
floor boards in some Of our school houses,
are not matched, and the cold air from be>
meath RI nders the idea Of comfort entirely
out Of the question.
Let no school house be without good
black boards. If the teacher understands
his business, the black board will be in al
most constant requisition. There should be
no stinting in this matter.
