YOUNG CANADIAN.-Messrs A. McGill
l. Bro. have just imported from Canada, a
fine four year-od stallion whose superior
points are we'll worth the inspection Of
Farmers and stock raisers generally. He
is a mixture Of the English and Percheron
or Norman stocks. and for size, strength,
endurance, aad all the qualities desired in
horse for utility, is not equalled by any
other that has come under our notice.
Messrs. McGill and Bro. have incurred con-
siderable expense in the purchase aud
transportation Of ibis horse, and are conf
dent that his equal in practical value 10 the
farmer and teamster cannot be found in
Northern Iowa. They are also confident
that all who examine him will coincide in
this opinion. "Young Canadian" may be
seen at the Livery Stable Of I. Sherwood
on Walnut street.

Why did not the BULLETIN informs its
readers that New York had gone Demo-
cratic by $4,000 ma nrty. AS u matter OF
news il for no other reason ? COnSerca-
tire.
If our neighbor means the City Of New
70 k, we did so inform our readers. II he
means the State tie reason why did not Sc
inform them was because it was not the
truth then nor is it now. New York State
did not 60 Democratic by $4,000 maj ar,ty
Ard now why did not the Conservative in
form its readers that the majority in New
York, whatever it was, was piled up by the
most unbushing and fragrant frauds ever
perpetrated on the ballot box; frauds which
throw into the shade all former exploits o.
its party in that line, even in New York
Why did it not inform its readers that white
Democrats, who would not eat, drink, OF
sit in a street car with "nigger' did no
scruple to steal their votes by voting in thti
names on the registry list, and doing THU
two, three or h alf dozen times?

WlNrHRoP.-We tore ourselves away
from pen and scissors on Monday and took
the nine o'clock freight, with the purpose
of paying long deferred visit to our
Aourishing neighbor on the east Winthrop.
Set down in front Of the ruins Of the depot
we walked up the hill TO the business part
of the town, and from thence took general
survey Of town and country. Winthrop is
situated in the midst Of the finest farming
lands Of Buchanan county, which when fully
improved are likely to give tie town consid'
cradle importance as trading point. Nearly
all the wheat raised in eastern part of the
county is shipped at Winthrop, and We
found the streets alive with farmers wag-
ons and the stores filed with customers.
Besides the receipts of wheat, Mr.. Chesley,
of this city, was taking in car load or
two Of live hogs, and we noticed also four
or Eve wagon loads Of broom>corn nicely
baled Cor marekt. Altogether the aspect
of business was lively, and if Monday was
not an exception to the rule of trade in
Winthrop, her business men and citizens
have no occasion to be concerned for her
The dealers of Winthrop seem to be one
and all doing safe and prosperous bust
ness. Palmer l. Bro are the heaviest firm
in the general variety line. They are first
class business men and have the confidence
Of the community. As the only firm in
Winthrop which has yet apparently discov-
cred the virtues of printers ink, they are
all the advantages Of trade which
such knowledge gives them. The other
dealers in this line are Hidreth l. Risk
Day & Eddie, Edmunson & Jameson. The
latter also keep drugs. Farr 4 Calvin are
dealers in hardware and farming implements
and are doing rushing business. We
called on our friend E. C. Kinney, post.
master and harness maker, and found him
rs happy and genial as ever.
Winthrop has two very neat church build.
ings, and with school house of similar ex.
cellence, will be very we'll equipped with
civilizing influences.
Some building Improvements are going
on and more contemplated. The erection
of new depot in place of the one burned
a few weeks since is soon to be commenced.

THE PARKnusr CoNCERT.-A very large
and very we'll dressed audience listened to
the singing of the Parkhust Troupe last
Saturday night in Munson's Hall. We
never had the pleasure of hearing the
original troupe. and so are rot competent
to make com parsons, whether odlous or
otherwise. But we may be permitted to
say that if the I'D combination excell9d the
new they were very excellent singers. The
con cert on Saturday night seemed 10 our
uncu.tured ears most excellent enc.
Parkhurst sang in bis usual inimitahle style.
He has the richest, smoothest, most flexible
base voice we have heard for many day,
and his drolleries would make an owl laugh.
Mr.. Hickey, the tenor, although lahoring
with cold, sang with exceptional powerand
feeling. Chamberlain's ballads were very
finely rendered, and Graves, who on his last
visit obstinately kept his mouth shut, this
time showed that he has skill of voice as
well as hand. His "Mother's Prayer" was
/ finely applauded. The troupe will be vel
coined when next they come this way.

RUNAwAY.-A runaway singular in its
termination occurred on Wednesday morn
ing. The horses attached to the lumber
wagon of man from the country. ran from
Que Of the lumber yards on Chatham street
toward Main. BY The time they had got
t" Ley'ze's corner they had acquired such
'mpet that, in attempting to turn the
corner they failed to gather themselves, and
SLIPPING, one went clear over the other and
the wagon performing the same operation,
landed on the south side of Main stree,
bottom up. The most singular circum-
stance of the whole affair was that in all
this oYcrrnrning of things, he only damage
hare was the hre king OF strap and a few
u boards u which the wagon box was
instructed.

DIED.-John Needham, the man who
made the fearful dive down the stairway of
the Munson Block, an account of which we
gave last week, died on Saturday morning
of conclusion of the brain, resulting from
the fall. He was insensible to the last. In
addition to the facts concerning him given
last week, We learn that he has wife and
two children in Cincinnati, and is reported
to be worth some $4,000. He came west
to visit his brother in this county, and for
the benefit of his health. In consequence
of the nGrmity which interfered with his
walking, be brought a servant with him to
attend on his uncertain steps and prevent
accident, but feeling much better he had
sent the servant back but few days previ
GUS to the accident which caused his death
! He was buried in he Catholic Cemetery, on
/ Sunday,

Mr.. EDITOR:
Dear Sir We wish you to inform
the public through your paper, that in as
much as our genllemanly neighbor has con-
Guided to infringe on our brand of lead,
(Shipman's Strictly Pare Lead, we shall
from this day sell the alb, We lead ten cents
lower per can, than any one will sell the
same brand in this town. SO get their low
est figures and then come to US and get il
for ten cents less. We will give fifty dol
lars reward to any one who will produce a
better article of lead or one more strictly
pure. We will also sell oil as low as any
one and better article, and unlike the
above neighbor, we have never had to pay
smart money for selling poor oil.

specially to announce to the inhabitants OF
Independence and vicinity, that they have
az pointed Mr.. J. P. Sampson as their sole

here. Mr.. Sampson has received sets OF
test types" for expeditiously and accurate
" ascertaining tie exact strength of glass

ence will enable him to meet the require

They are perfectly pure, hard and brilliant.

Mrs FLETCHER LECrURE.-An over
hnwiGg house greeted Mrs Fletcher upon
the occasion of her lecture at the Methodist
Church, last 81 nday evening. The lecture
itself was fine poe'ica production, abound.
ing n startling situations ana pathetic mar
ratyie, aud was listened to with earnest at
leauon rs The audience Ii was not, how.
ever, =, our Judgment equal to her perform
ance of few weeks since in this city, and
not as effective for the purpose proposed
the advancement of the temperance cause
as if written in the ergumentative form. L,
was very finished temperance poem, but
not a temperance lecture. We are pleased
to learn from Mrs. Fletcher that she con-
templates in her future lectures to abandon
the poetic form. This will give her mere
freedom of expression, and enable her when
the subject is of enkindling character to
break away from the letters Of her manu-
St ript. We think she will excel in these
extemporaneous episodes to t he more form
al procession of her thoughts.
