time, and hence We DO not feel much interest
In the question Of extended Jurisdiction. As
We e1 pect. however, to 20 to jail pretty often
we feel interested in having a good. safe

and therefore we go in for coed Jail in Eb,

end, 80 as to make room for a good Jail with
all modern accommodations. huch as gas,
wildcat water. baths. sofas, rocking chairs.
carpets, aud all else becoming our dignity
should it ever be our luck to be the county's
guest for either a limited or unlimited time.
We are really sorry that sOne little mind
ed persons took cffense st our puns last week
in regard to tie liale-ary societies and lie
brary association. We declare " meant no
harm when We said We hoped the matter
would go ahead! Where else would liter
cry matter go2 We are Lot enrious. for
there is nothing to be spvous Of We wish
every body well, and if we psss Joke peo-
pie should not take tfepAe. We do know
that the members Of the literary societies not
! upfreQ make fun OF each other
In regard to the Library Association, we
wish it abundant success. only We do not
| like the political conIpl. xion Of the new ly
elected tficers. and fear that their selections
Of books wouldn't suit our political appetite.
We could name supdry hooks which we'll
bet our bottom dollar will find prominent
place in the Library. and which We would

We oonrersed with citizen Of Iowa the
other day on the subject Of immigration to
that State. and learned that the best time of
year for either individuals or colonies to go
there, if their means are limited, 10 in the
Spring-say about the FIST Of May. BY so
doing they can have enough tu eat Of their
own raising, such az beam, peas, corn, po-
totOes, tomatoes etc, IN Il or four mouths.
In this way but little capital is required to
start farming on q smali scale, and opera
tions can DO extended es increase of means
is acquired. Poor people who live here from
hand to mouth had better try The 'prescrip-
tion Ui going west and getting little eltow
room, with hopes Uf plentiful future before
them. Ia some counties il Iowa the public
lands are all taken up, but il others there
is lots Of room for large colouies. and the
State Is not plagued with sgne and similar
ailments. The soil Is said to be exceedingly
fertile aud easily farned after the f.st p!vw-
ing.
The second number of the Teachers Ad-
rocate has appeared and is suid to be quite
! interesting. We feel u deep interest III the
success of the two young men who have un-
deriakeD its publication, and We do hope the
teachers will respond promptly aud gener-
ally to the advance terms. Aessrs. Akers
and Hite are both deserving Young uen. and
the Cause uf education reeds the stimulus
| that their -4drocats will inpalt. If they are
supported at the right time (nowJ their en-
terprise will be a grand ruccess. More peo-
! pie than teachers and directors might sup
! port 1t, if for nothing else Than because it ID
q local and PraiSeworthy enterprise.
We called in to MesSr~- Woodruff =
| Power Press. and if we were ot afraid Cf
| passing jlke and giving offence We would
| cay that the press is suitably named, as it
takes considerable potrer to press the sheets.
! 1t is bran rev press and works tightly at
6rSt. out it will som have p3dy enough. II
! Is u magnificent PRESS. and what makes il
! still better il is true blue Democratic press.
! Petitions for and against a proh oitory
| liquor law are icing uumerously signed in
| JubnStUwn aud vicinity. A iso for the ex
! tenGed Jurisdiction of the District Court -
Also for tariff on iron and steel. The
| right of petition is = sacred Ii-ht. but 1t is
| almost as much abused as the balIot-bCI
! FIR instance, we saw several men who new
! or looked az the petition aud did not know
| what 1t was about telling others 70 put down
! their pAZneS. We are called good scholar
| oerssk. aud We cau read aud orite. aud yet
We did iaSdvertaptiy kIsn liquor petition
Instead q tariff petition the other day
| When VIZ saw our name we blushed for
shame. because we used to belong to the
l:terasy society Of Johustown! But more
than Ihis we saw at least twenty names at
tacted TO petition Of men who do not live
hersabcut, if they live al all! Hence, we
think petition is not true exponent Of
| the sentiments cf any community.
| The Republican party will have an acces-
sioo vf about IS 600 black voters next fail in
this State which fact ought to Increase the
| Democratic vote at least as 600 by an &C
cessiou of converts from the Republican TO
the Democratic cause. The Supreme Being
made law that like should beget like" +"
aud he made the races as distinct as night
and day, AID lie meant that by the euforce !.
mtnt Of the law aforesaid, these races should
remain distinct and any effort Of man to
annul that law is rebellion against the Su-
preme Power. Equality does aLnul that
law-thorefore equality is rebellion against
heavens law.
fire broke out, about two O'Clock yes
terday (Sunday) morning, in the hoop-skirt
factory of j. Burkbart, on Main street,
which was soon suppressed, but not without
considerable damage being done by FIRE and
water together. The hose that was attached
to the fre-pua threw water very rapidly,
having the force Of fall of seventy feet. II
the FIRE had got little headway, all that
portion of town opposite the Houston House
would have suffered greatly. Ron Roy.
