HORSE THEFT.-Last Sunday night
or Monday morning horse was stolen
from Mr.. McClure's stable, some four
miles west of town. On Monday
morning Mr.. NJ. rallied some friends,
and search was made. In short time
the horse was found, loose in the road,
with saddle and bride on. The ras-
Gals who had stolen him, finding
themselves 20 closely pursued, had
abandoned him and taken to the
brush. We understand that the gull
ty parties are known; but as they
have now left the country and gone to
Missouri there will probably be moth
Ing more done about the matter.

It must soon become very valuable.

this timber has been used up to little
purpose In this County. Woodman,

ONE OF THE WAYs.-Old DR.. B
now of this County, understands
something about Advertising-or al
least used to. When he was younger
and starting Drug Store in one OF
our adjoining Counties, he wanted to
do something to call public attention
to his business-which of course is the
precise object Of Advertising. So he
caused it to be announced that "Dr.
B would pay (naming the
sum- for a half-bushel of Matched
Toads, delivered at his Drug Store"
This aroused curiosity. What on
earth could DR.. B. want of q half
bushel of matched toads? Everybody
went to talking about it. But the
boys around town set to work to hunt
up the toads. loads became in great
demand. In fact the toad market was
lively in that burgh. With all their
hunting, however, the boys could find
no two toads just alike; but he paid
them all-and they paid him. Public
attention was attracted to his Drug
Store, and business followed it. Log
ically-that is, according to the good
little story-books, the moral of this
story is that when you run q Drug
Store and want more business you
must advertise for toads; but the point
needen't be strained quite SO far, and
still yield little moral nevertheless
To draw business, first draw public
attention.

STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
A late number Of the IoWa Homestead
contains somewhat lengthy com.
munication from our esteemed towns
man, Capt. Mathews, relating his Wis
1t to the State Agricultural College.
It speaks In high terms Of praise OF
the Faculty and general management
of the Institution, and of the progress
already made there in many respects.
In a later conversation with US the
Captain expressed his qualification at
the success Of the College in still more
glowing terms. He spoke especially
Of the Democracy and equality" OF
the Institution-both glorious features
not sufficiently common In Colleges
and remarked that the talent display
ed by some of the pupils, and the
progress and proficiency Of all, were
really astonishing. Among other
things he mentioned that the College
building was not provided with any
underdrain, but needed one badly.
The cellar was partly full of water.
Hands could have been hired TODD
the work, but for the fact that there
was no room to board them near. So
the College students volunteered to do
the work, and did it-digging drain
a quarter of q mile long, some three
feet wide, and fifteen feet deep, and
finishing the whole work themselves.
We were glad to hear this; and rejoice
to hear that this important State In
stitution is so well managed and SO
highly successful.
