Blythe Barlow, for the murder OF John MoClnskey
at Indian Spring, was tried in the Spalding Superior
Court last week. and found guilty of murder IN the
first degree. Judge Green as we learn, In feel
ing,y delivered sentence consigned him to the gal

July 1. This was one OF the most deliberate aud cold

the condemned man need not, we think, expect any

DRY EARTH SYSTEM!
For the Sewage of Towns, Factories,
Hospitals, Prisons, Hotels and
Private Houses,

A MPLE experience has shown the Dry Earth
N System to be more efficient in preventing foul
smells, and far less costly in construction and re-
pairs than the Water Closet System; and that it is
in all respects entirely satisfactory, whether for the
SICK Room or for constant use.
The Earth Closet offers to all, in town and coup-
try every benefit possessed by the Water Closet. at
far less cost with the additional advantages that 1t
is portable and can be moved to the bedside in the
sickroom.
1t promises more in immunity from offensive
odors, from infection in disease, and in the saving
of fertilizers than has ever been accomplished by
a single invention.
In the COMMODE, the apparatus and earth res
ervoir are self-eontaned, and movable pail takes
the place of the vault.
For use in Bed Rooms Hospital Wards Inflrn,.
aries, &c, the Commode is invaluable. is entire
~ free from those faint, depressing odors common
to portable cdter closets and night stools and through
its admission OF the greatest miseries Of human
life the foul smells OF the sick room, and one OF the
most frequent means of communicating infection,
may be entirely prevented.

In regard to DR.. Gross last article
under the above heading, which APP
peared I'm the last weeks GAZETTE,
the subscriber would respectfully
and most emphatically say, that
every assertion contained therein,
which contradicts any statement
that made Oh the subject, In my
article Of the previous week, Is a
gross misrepresentation, to say moth
ing about the balance of his article,
which in the main Is off from the
same piece, and having SO little to do
with the question in dispute, that
do not deem it worthy of my notice
to make any reply.
One thing however, which savors
strongly Of truth, i will give him
credit for, as l believe in always Civ
Ing "the Devil his due''--
You will notice near the close of
his last and very lengthy article, that
he says the readers of the GAZETTE
were losing valuable reading matter
in controversy, or to that effect
That's fact! and what pity it is
that he did not think of that i'm time
to have saved the public such loss.
One other statement he made, has
some show of truth i'm it 1t IL this |:
That L had said / would do jobs a
little less than any other Dentist I'm
town. Now for the facts i'm the case.
DIR. Artman and myself became sat
isfied that DIR. Gross had done a full
set of teeth, not only "a little less"
but ten dollars or more less than the
established price, and the price
agreed upon by DIR. Artman and DIR.
Gross for such a job. Thereupon, /
did say to some one. that If DIR. Gross
or any other Dentist would do their
job for less than my figures, or the
usual price, I would do 1t still cheap
er than they. Now, / ask any can.
did man what other course there was
left me to pursue. His intrigues
worked well for him until they were
exposed.
His limiting that I was cutting un-
der on prices, Is very much like the

from resting upon him; or the per-

CoAL.-Carpenter Bros, Lumber
and Coal dealers, have laid US under
obligations, by presenting US with
thr6e specimens of coal-the Fort
Dodge---the Ksnosha Company's
coal, taken out, twenty miles below
LaSalle, H., and the second vein
coal of I'LL. The Kenosha Com
pany's coal is just like tie Pennsyl-
vania Anthracite, only 1t is lot quite
so hard. But it shines "like a but
ton" Several of our blacksmiths
are ordering this kind now, in place
of the Pittsburg coal as 1t is so much
cheaper. The Fit. Dodge coal is of
better quality than it was four weeks
ago-then it was fine and dusty, now
1t comes in large Chunks" and Is
much harder. They are taking out
twenty car loads day, and intend
after this winter, to supply the trade
along this Road. Messrs. Richards,
Duncombe, and Plat Smith, have
struck "mine of wealth; and they
know 1t. This coal Is now furnished
by Carpenter Bros, for $3.50 per ton,
in quantities Of not less than ton.
They sell the Kenosha Coal Com
pany's coal for $3.50, and Second
vein" Illinois coal for $3.50. When
we get a road south through the
coal beds of Mahaska county, and
the beds, along the Iowa, Boone and
Des Moines rivers, are 8 little more
developed we can get coal for SIS per
ton delivered anywhere along this
