COPPER ORE.-Mr. r. Parker, OF
Hamilton, has handed us small
piece of apparently almost pure cop
per, which was cut from q chunk,
weighing ll6 pounds, that was lately
found on high ground on the farm OF
Mr.. Day, one mile west Of Eldorado,
ia Monroe County. The chunk was
taken to Abba last Thursday, and
sold to Mr.. Henry Miller, for $l5.
It was rather flat nshape. From all
inquiries, we are led to think that 1t
must have been carried there, either
by persons or by some natural forces,
from some other region. Further
search II to be made; and II any more
of the mineral is discovered it will be
duly mentioned.

AT BELLEFONTAINE, a few days
since, we were surprised to see how
many emigrants were crossing the
river there, on their way to Kansas.
Fifteen or twenty teams passed in a
few hours. 1t looked little like old
times, when the California emigra-
ton was passing through. The town
doesn't seem to improve very rapid
ly, but a considerable trade Is carried
on, mostly from the eastern part of
this County, as we were informed by
Mr.. Boyer, of the firm Of Boyer q
Barnes, the principal dealers. The
FIGURING Mill, owned by Mr.. Larkin,
has been leased to a gentleman from
Oskaloosa, whose name we did not
learn. School opened last Monday.
Work on the new NJ. i. Church is
progressing slowly. For want OF
time we could not get around to see
all those we wished, in order to write
up the town and vicinity. The peo-
pie there are looking with some hope
toward the new railroad route from
Muscatine to Kansas City, via. Oska-
loosa and Marysville, and think it
will cross at Bellefontaine If it should
be built.
Messrs. COpp0ck, Neal & Davis
have nearly completed two very neat
frame dwellings near their new saw
mill, one mile west Of town.
Farm work all along the road was
being pushed along with great zeal.

ED. VoTER:-Agreeable to request,
will give you all the Local News
within my reach:
It's. Cathcart is having new barn
erected in Attica. Mrs. LemmOns
is having a very nice little residence,
16x22 feet, put up in town. Asa
Long, near Attica, is improving a
piece of new land. There have no
persons left the Township Of late.
Joseph Cattern and AL. AtchisOn
(son of DIR. Atchison) Of Alba have
put up a nice Drug Store in this
place. They have very fine stock
of Drugs.
The crop Of small grain looks
promising. The major part of the
corn will be planted during the next
few days. Some of the corn Is up
very nice. In short, the Farmer OF
Indiana To vnship has everything to
encourage him.
There is not much Of interest about
stock. Thomas Maddy sold 7 hogs
the other day, which averaged over
400 lbs. Two of them weighed 1898
lbs. The largest one weighed sos lbs.
A little babe, daughter OF Harvey
Rankin, living II miles north OF
Attica, fell out Of bed on the 10Th
ult.. and fractured her collar-bOne.

as the farmers in this vicinity are. all
busily engaged, business isat q stand.

think it was mo co." SO they loaded

FROM DALLAs.--Friend sd. c."
writes us that dallas is still alive"
complaining still going ahead, and
Farmers getting in more corn, and
earlier, than ever before.-H. W.
Mccoy has set out 400 young soft
maple trees. Bully for him! He
sets them 8 feet apart each way
Lew Clark has lost another horse,
from disease, making about the sixth
horse he has lost in the last few years.
This leaves him in bad fix, rs he
had but one team.--J. S. Campbell
is losing his young lambs in a pecu-
liar manner. They are killed at
night. 1t looks like the work Of a
bird. Their breasts are torn open,
hearts, lights and livers eaten, en-
trails torn out, and some Of the flesh
picked from their ribs, when they
are left. 1t is not yet known what
does the mischief.- Had to con-
dense this and two other commune
cations, as they didn't arrive till af-
ter this paper was almost up.-ED.]
COMPLIMENTARY.-The State Reg
lister of the eth inst. has the following
paragraph:
The Voter is stirring up the people
of that section ON the Abba d Des
Moines Railroad project. If that
enterprise ever is successful, the
editor of the Potter should have
choice of the fat places in its officiary.
He has advocated it, and urged it
upon the people, with untiring en-
ergy and ability, and never permits
it to pass out of the public mind.
We trust his good labors will be re-
warded by the success of the Road"
With the most modest thanks,
permit us to add that we have done,
and shall do, all we possibly can for
Railroad, simply and solely because
We know it 10 be vital 10 the contin-
ued prosperity of our County, though
in plain truth we probably have less
personal and selfish interest in it than
any Farmer along the route has,
dollar for dollar, if he would only
see it so. But "Rome wasn't built
in day." and we must, as Lincoln
said, "keep pegging away"

Milking pals should always be
washed with a cloth and wiped
dry with the cloth wrung out Of
hot water. Lay them on the side
to dry. If turned bottom up, the
steam cannot escape, and they
will get yellow and sour, which
will taint the butter. If they get
yellow, scour with clean water
and sand. Never wipe them with
a dry towel which is used for 9th
or dishes, as it will give 1t a smell
