which soon attracted the attention Of the

deep distress. Mr.. and Mrs. Martin were
lying across the threshold OF one Of the
front doors, as IL they had fallen toward
each other, Mr.. Martins feet being on
the porch and his wife's In the room.
Their family were about them. The lit

investigation only proved that the fallen

One Of Claggett's Lies.

Tom Claggett states, in the keokuk
Constitution, that Judge Tannehill,
the other day at Ottumwa, refused
to permit a colorcd man to serve on
n jury.
We have il from reliable authority
that the statement is positively false,
and without u shadow OF foundation.
We have taken some trouble to
find out the facts in the case, and in
justice to Judge Tannehil we give
them tc the public A jury wss
wanted, and the sheriff had failed to
make it up Of the white persons pres
ent. There happened to be colored
man in the courtroom, and the Sher-
.itf summoned him. Thcnegrb, think,
ing he had no right to serve. refused.
The Sheriff insisted, but the colored
man positively refused. The Judge
then told the Sheriff to call another
man ifthe colored man did not wish
to serve. And this is the whole sto.
ry.
Judge Tannchill has too high a
sense of justice, and is TOO free from
democratic prejudice, TO permit his
judgment to be swayed by the color
OF a mans cuticle.
We clip the above from the Center.
vile Loyal Gtisen. published at the
home Of Judge Tannehill, and evi~
IDENTIFY from its tone, by authority
from him.
1t will be sufficient to give the
final quietus TO the copperhead sto-
ries about Judge Tannehill having
refused to allow negro to sit in the
.jary box in this city, with all men
whose good or bad opinions arc
worth Il fig.

Presentation.

The officers of the Iowa State Ag-
ricultural Society have been doirg IN
exceedingly creditable thing to them
selves, and to their President, Hon.
Peter Melendy.
Through their Secretary, Dir,
Shaffer, in handsome little speech,
they have been presenting him with
a magnificent silver tea service, bear
ing the following inscription:
"PREsENTED TO PETER MELENpY by
the undersigned as a token Of their
appreciation ofhis services as Presi-
dent of the Iowa State Agricultural
Society. G.G. Wright,J. M. Shaffer,

land, II. G. Hunt. January, 1869
The Register from which we CLEAN,
says ofthis happy affair:
"What adds more to the value of
the present is the fact that It's the
offering of the individual members Of
the Board, and paid for out Of their
own pockets. Coming too just at
this time when Peter is setting up
housekeeping it is peculiarly appro-
pirate as well as truly deserved"

Important From Gen. Bakers
Office.

We have received Circular No, |,
for 1869, from Adjutant Gen'l Ba-
kers office, at Des Moines, from
which we take the two following inn
portant paragraphs, and commend
them to the attention OF those per
sons responsible for State arms, and
TO the public generally interested.
His forest.tree suggestion is origi-
nal with cur versatile Adjutant Gen
eral, and we hope to see the sol
diers of every county in the State
respond to it promptly.
l. This Department is again com
pelled to call attention to the gross
carelessness that is evident in certain
cases, where arms and accoutre>
ments have been distributed by the
State to military companies. In
some cases, these arms and aeeoutre--
ments have been loaned out without
authority of law, and in others they
have been deposited in unsafe aud
improper places. Officers have
promised to return arms and other
State property and have neglected
their duty. Suits uiH be commenced
on the bonds flied for The care and safe
keeping Of these arms, tohere neglect and
careiessaess haze produced toss or IN
jury to the State. All citizens are res
quested to give information that will
lead to tho return of arms on other
Stateproperty now held BY unAuthor-
lied persons
"VII. This Department is desi-
rous of obtaining'an Iowa forest tree
from every county in the State, to
ornament the grounds about the
Acknowledgements Office. These
hundred trees will represent every
county, and among this hundred will
be orc representative of every kind
of forest tree, that one of each will
be furnished BY, some member of
every regiment al infantry, cavalry,
OF battery OF artillery; SO that the
tree will not only represent its spe
cies, but a county and regiment or
battery. Where a regiment or bat-
terry was mainly raised in a county,
the tree from that county will be the
representative Of that regiment or
battery. These trees may be sent
to this Office this winter or early in
the spring, lfsent in the winter, let
them be sent with frozen earth about
them, so that the same can not be
thawed until their arrival here.

Pt, Isabel p. o.

We learn that. some sharp scented
individuals, are circulating the story
that the Pt. Isabel z. 0. in
this county has been discontinued at
the suggestion of the P. NJ. of this
city.
The stupidity Of this story, will ap-
pear visible to the naked eye, when
it is remembered that this is a sala-
rid Office, and that the pay goes on
just the same, whether there is much
or little to do.
About the time when you find the
County Clerk willing to do the duties
of his and the Treasurcrs office, or
vice versa, for the same salary that
one of those officials now receive, or
about the time the P. NJ Of this city
becomes so reconstructed, as to
banker after hard lal o., and lux
uriate oversthe past time ct handing
out large number of CoURIER's
Copperhead's and other mail matter
just for the fun of the thing; then
the story may be circulated with
some probability of IFS being belicv-
ed that he has been instrumental in
having the Pt. Isabel Post Office or
any of the other neighborlng offices
discontinued for the purpose OF douh-
ling his labors free gratis for moths
ing"
We know nothing of the cause of
the discontinuance of the Pit Isabel
p. 0. but presume it was done at the
requestsof Squire Rush, the late p.
M. there, orfor isrefusal to discharge
the duties of tho office.
Theil mail isrctaincd and distribu-
ted here under an order of the De-
partment at Washington.
A station will be made in that
neighbdrhood doubtless, on the st. l..
& G. r. r, at5which time tho people
Interested should circulate apetition
asking for the establishment of an
Office, and the appointment of P.
N. who will accept ard discharge
the duties of the Office, which move
ment it is hardly necessary to say,
will receive the hearty encourage
ment Of the Post Master of this
city.

One of the evil engineers on the
Central Pacific Railroad thus de-
scribes a pond of warm water in
what seems to be the crater of an ex-
tinct volcano, near the North Fork
of the Humboldt River, in Nevada
II must tell you about ono remarka-
bic natural curiosity we camped near
"a curious hot spring. 1t is situated
in crater about two hundred feet in
diameter. on the top of a knoll which
rises about fifty feet above the rver.
In the bottom Of tho crater is q long
elliptical pool, perhaps $50 feet long
in one direction, and IS in the other
"a mammoth bath tub in shape
The depth of the water is unknown,
no limo brought here having been
long enough to reach the bottom. In
one part the water is just hot enough
to enable the hand to be held lit
and the remainder of tho pool varies
from this to lukewarmness. The
walls are nearly vertical, aud you
can imagine the luxury Of plunge
into it, with no fear of striking bot
tom. Just think, too, of swimming
about, on a cold November day, with
the rising steam deposited in frost
lopn the rocks, in water which is a
temperature perfectly luxurious
When l went in had SO severe a
cold as TO be unable to speak aloud,
aud it cured me almost entirely
The water tastes slightly Of sulphur,
iron and lime"

OBITUARY.

DIED, in Competine Township, in
this comfy, Jan 18th, 1869, Mrs. NJ.
M. BARBOUR, wife of Charles Bar
bour aged 40 years, | month and l
day, of Pneumonia.
The deceased was q member of the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church,
and torthemanydays she was called to
pass through the furnace of affiiction,
she exp erienced the truth of inspira-
ton. Her sufferings at all times were
very great, yet she manifested a spirit
ofchristian resignationand submission
to the divine will and blessed with
the exercise Of her intellectual facal-
ties TO the last, and in the language
of Stephen, 'Iord Jesus receive my
spirit, she committed her soul into
tho hands of her Savior, and fell
asleep without struggle Gas we
trust) in Jesus with her entire dcpen-
dance on the merits Of Christ, her
Savior, counting all things but loss
for the excellence of the knowled &c
of Christ, her Lord. The companion OF
her pilgrimage here may mitigate
his sorrow by the thought that she is
at home with her Savior, has ceased
from her labers and her works do
follow her. She expressed great anxi-
ETY. for the spiritual welfare Of her
children and we trust that in wrest-
ling for them with God, her prayers
may be answered, and hike those oi
Jacob viii prevail, and while they
mourn her loss they will remember
that though she is dead she yet
speaketh; that She cannot return to
them, but they may go to her; that
If they will but walk in the foot steps
of thoir Savior, they will meet anc

Remarkable Temperance Lee
turo.

Goethe tells the following story,
which amusingly illustrates the ca
pacity for drink of the Rhinelanders:
"Thc Bishop of Maycnce once dc
ivered sermon against drunken
ness, and after painting in the strong
est colors the OWLS of over indul g
ence. concluded as follows: But the
abuse of wine does not exclude its
use, for it is written that wine re-
ioices the heart Of man. Probably
there is no one in my congregation
who cannot drink four bottles of wine
without feeling any disturbance of
his senses. but if any man ut, the
seventh or eighth bottle so forgets
himself as to abuse and strike his
wife and children and treat his best
friends as enemies, let him look into
his conscience, and in the future stop
at the sixth bottle Yet, it after
drinking seven, or eight or ten or
twelve bottles, he can still take his
Christian ncighbor by the hand, and
obey the orders oe his spiritual and
temporal superiors, let him thank
fully drink his modest dlaught. He
must be careful, however, as TO ta-
king any more, for it is seldom that
Providence gives any one the special
grace to drink sixteen bottles at
sitting, as it has enabled me, its un-
worthy servant, to do without either
neglecting my dutis or loosing my
temper

SCENE ON A FERRY BoAT.-The fer
ry boat between New York and Jer
sey City, last summer, was tho scene
of an occurrence no! very often wit
messed.
One Friday about noon, the day
being particularly pleasant, and the
lady passengers, which by the way
comprised only about dozen, were
seated upon the benches enjoying
the scenery. Pretty soon shout was
heard.
"Mine Cot! Mine Cot! mine wife
is going to be schickr'
Instanter the ladies rushed into
the ladies' cabin, and sure enough,
there sata forid specimen of Swe-
dish woman enduring the pangs of
parturition with great patience.
The husband was speadily turned
out of the cabin by the ladies, one of
whom kept watch at the door, while
the others made preparation to re-
ceive the expected stranger. OF
course we cannot enter into the de.
tails of the subject, for we were on
the outside observing. the husband,
who begged Justify for admission.
"Oh, mine Cot" he shouted
through the door, "keep stiff upper
lip, Katrain; ton't be scbairt," sOh,
mino Cot" And he danced around
the deck in a perfect fever of excite
ment.
1t was impossible to quiet him, un-
til, in few minutes, one of the ladies
informed him, though without grant
ing him admission, that Kit was all
over.'
'Ish it a poy or gal?'i he shouted.
at is girl, said the lady sentl-
mel, anxious for little amusement.
"Oh, dunder," was the vexed rc.
ply. 'No matter; a gal ish better as
noting"
.'It's a boy again said the lady.
';Vot lsh it changed-vos it gal
wunst, and now Ieetle poy?'"
NO
':Tousan Jytels. vot ish dem
There arc two-a boy and girl.
You had better procure carriage
when the boat lands.
"Oh! dat ish goot. Dat ish better
as goot-a boy and a gal nit one job!
katrain ish punkins; | always knew
dat !"
And the happy husband and faith
er disappeared in search of a cab to
conduct his family homeward.
