day, the Sd, are progressing finely. We
have every probability of securing the
services of distinguished and effective
i speaker, whose previous visits here have
made him extremely popular, as orator
/ of the day. Measures have been taken
to get up grand velocipede race be-
tween three or more champions for a
valuable prize in money that shall be
awarded to the successful competitor by
committee selected for that purpose.
Lots of stamps have been pledged to
pay expenses and buy fireworks, Of
which there is intended to be a really
fine display. Come to Upton, every
body, who can enjoy a regular, rational,
old fashioned orthodox celebration; :"
and We can promise you a good time.
THE LINCOLN Colonel
Guyice, Of Mt. Pleasant, formerly All
officer upon the staff of Maj. Gen. Sam'l
h. Curtis, at present soliciting agent for
Iowa Of the Lincoln National Monu-
ment Association, spent Friday and
Saturday Of last week in our midst. He
obtained subscriptions amounting to S54
while here, which he considered as do
ing very we'll for the time spent.
The monument is to cost 100000, of
which government has already appro-
| priated 100000; and should be and
undoubtedly will be magnificent work
of art-almost worthy the memory of
the man for whom it is erected.

to spend, prepare to spend them now,
for Miles Orion & Co.'S great "Quinque-
partite' will come, see, and probably
conquer Upton on next Wednesday, the
9th inst. This is an Iowa Circus, and is
reported to be much ahead, in point Of
good performance and. especially, of
good behavior, Of the majority of circus
es,as it should be to be fair representa-
tive of our noble young State. Orion &
Co. are striving to prove that circus
may travel through the country without
the too frequent concomitants of drink
ing, swearing, swindling and stealing.
They claim to he civil set from mana
ger to peanut boy; and if we may judge
from the representative who preceded
them as advance agent, it is surely well
founded.
| BURIAL LOTS FOR SALE AT AUCTION
The Trustees of Rochester township i'm
this county, will offer for sale at auction,
next saturday a. m, some POO lots i'm
the Burial Ground, about one mile south
east Of the town Of Rochester. These
lots are part ola 40 acre tract, the money
for the purchase of which, by entry, was
| bequcathed to Rochester township by
one Adam Graham, some nineteen or
twenty years ago.
Since entry, the title to this land has
been vested Oh the Township Trustees,
who now dispose of it as above stated,
selling at the same time and place
twenty-five acres Of the forty in timber
lots, which will give them n fund for
the Improvement of tho portion laid Off
for a burial place.
GIVE THE SCHOOLS little chance on
"showd day. you who have control of
the matter, 10y not allowing the circus
to- bring its wonders within such easy
sight and hearing of the eager Juvenile
eyes and ears at the Union School house,
as has heretofore been done by such con-
Germs to the almost utter distraction Of
! the teachers and destruction of the order
and efficacy of the schools. II is diff
cult enough for any kind of order to be
maintained in the school when the boy
bewildering circus is in town; and,
although our teachers are quite compe
tent for their respective places, no one
who can remember his own boyhood
will wonder ut their failure when the
whole labyrinth of mystery, wonder
and delight is outspread within few
rods of the schoolroom window.
