The Hearth and Home, published
by S. M. Pettengill & Co., of New
York, though but recently launched
upon the newspaper ocean, is ex.
tending rapidly in circulation. The
editors are Tx Marvel and Mrs. Har-
riet Beecher Stowe, assisted by many
other first-class writers of the coun-
try. 1t is specially adapted to meet
the wants of farmers, being devoted
mainly to agriculture and every day
common sense topics.

this sterling national Religious
journal, the subscription price of
which is $3.50 per year, offers to send
1t to any address, during the remain
der of the present year-from May to
January-for one dollar. The i'd
oonce is a standing proof that it is
not necessary for Religious jour-
nal to be either dry, prosy and Sec
tartan, or worldly, sensational and
fiashy. 1t occupies golden mean
and is most readable and instruc.
tive paper. Address publishers, Chi.

ATTEMPT TO OvERTURN A RAIL
ROAD TRAIN.-From the Dubuque
Times, We learn of piece of inhu-
man villainy. Last Monday as con-
ductor Haines was running his train
into Dubuque, he was fortunate
enough to pick up at Farley young
man by the name of Lawrence Me-
Cormick, who wished to transpo
his oorporeal frame eastward of the
Mississippi. When Charley went to
collect tickets he found the young
man aforesaid unable to pay his fare,
aud not feeling himself under any
obligations TO carry dead beats, lie
ckucked him of the train at Ep-
worth, that being the next station.
His bosom heaving with revenge,
the young man followed the train
some distance this side of Epworth,
and then proceeded to crafty his
wicked malice by obstructing the
railroad track with stones, ties, and
pixies. The construction train soon
came laundering along, and before
the engine could be checked il ran
over two of the ties, but fortunately
sustained no serious damage. Know
ing that the man who perpetrated
the outrage could not be far off,
search was commenced, when the
offender was found partly secreted In
some hazel bushes near the track.
Accepting cordial invitation, lie
jumped on the train and come to Du-
buque, but had no sooner struck the
platform at our depot than he was
nabbed by Marshal Hardy aud prop
erly done for as the law directs.
GOES FOR 'EM.-The Muscatine
Journal learning that eight thou
sand copies of Asher & Adams new
maps of Iowa were sold, says the
maps probably cost the publishers
$3.50 each, while they have IL border
ed with advertising cards which
probably more than pay all the ex.
penses of the work, and they have
the cheek to ask twelve dollais for
the map, which would afford its pub
fishers fair profit at So so without
advertising patronage. The publish
ers are Indianapolis men.n The
sufferers In Hardin county are "thick
as leaves In Valambrosa.. - Eleloyu
