Walt. is pretty good man and he repre-
SCENTS lively radical journal. .EIBEcK
describes the Price-Guttenberg Ball of the
7th' as among the indispensable in amuse-
ment, style, refreshments, music and gen.
eral social enjoyment. Eighty couples on
the floor at one time must lave strained
the music and the 'caller" some! Sorry
we didn't freeze down that way...... Gen.
Bigelew and Lady of Elkader are visiting
ct McGregor. If they stay to see all their
friends here they will not leave us till
1869, at least. Two are we'll through
the winter, but now is the time to clean
stove pipes and guard against fire. Feby
is half over, but windy March is close by.
In this. very scarce time for water in wells
and cisterns, FIRE would be terrible
Appoint fire wardens in each district; let
every house be visited and its FIRE appara-
tus be examined; if necessary let the night
watch be doubled. An expense of 500.

homes......The Legislature of Iowa has

column. candy Felt wants partner in
the Nashua Post. A practical printer is
preferred. 1.-The Herold Of Elkader has
taken the name of Der "North Io,ca"
Herald. We regard this as complimentary
to our own non,en and of course we think

Europe was "convanient to US" we would
pen speech Of embrace to our Fader-
Landt contemporary. A letter from this
Office is on tho way to New York ordering
German schulz buch, schulz haus or
something Of the kind when it arrives
den Zwei Editoren Won der McGregor
Zeitung, wollen mach Elkader kommen and
wollen Lager Bier haben. So far as we
recollect early studies Of German this is
nearly correct-the last three words we'll
bet on. 1t is rumored that G. w. Halls
lett Of the DEBORAH Register has liberal
offer from the Democrats Of Winneshiek
Co. and that he will probably sell his
Office to them. The Register is doing well,
but if G. W can get a good price for it
why hasn't he the right to sell? We shall
regret to lose George, but he'll turn up
soon at another point. Our pet TINES is
always in the market for proper consi-
deration; the pen that writes this was
never for sale since its purchase Of John
q. Haight the Variety man.
There are few, fancy, gloved, smooth
faced gents Of the poker, pick-pocket and
etc. persuasion about town who will do

charged.
Chas. Paulk and Ex-Gov Nelson Dewy
of Cassyille Wis, honored us with call on
Tuesday. ...Jedediah Brown (Jndge) died
