AGAINST THE TAx.-We are in
formed that Union TIP. of Monroe
County last Saturday went against the
proposed five per cent. Tax for the A.
X. Il d. Railroad, by 10 majority; but
that another Election is already called.
And now, in answer to the numer-
GUS inquiries about tour Railroad
prospects," let US say briefly this
We believe the Construction Compa-
nv will build the Road, just according
to Contract, If the people along the
line raise the money according to
Contract. We don't know of any
further news about it, to change mat
tiers; and we have "talked Railroad"
over and over again, 40 long and often,
in the last three years, that We feel
like resting on it little now, and
seeing II the people along the line
will do their manifest duty. If we
raise the money we'll get the Railroad,
and II we don't we won't. Only this
must be consideved--that the Con.
struction Company won't wait forever
to find out whether they are to go to
work or not; and already there Is some
impatience manifested.

CAT MISUNDERSTANDING all that
we have ever read Of cats and their
ways, we don't remember having ever
seen anything about their parental
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. they have any
such thing az family government,
like us poor human beings, or not
But case of that kind actually hap
pencd. here the other day, plain and
unmistakable. A mischievous little
kitten was frisking around in the
house, and suddenly popped down on
a little boys sock, and picked 1t up
and started off out Of doors with 1t.
The old cat was sitting under a tree In
the yard. When the kitten came up,
with the sock in its mouth, she looked
at 1t sharply for an instant, and then
jumped up, without word, and boxed
it's ears with her paw--very much
woman fashion. And the kitten then
went straightway back with the sock.
and left It where she found it! Now, II
this wasn't parental government"
all we have to say Is, it looked very
much like It.

OTLEY, Iowa,
July 20, 1870.

ED. VoTER:-Harvest Is finished In
Summit, and grain-stacking and
thresling have commenced. The
wheat generally stood, thin on the
ground, but the yield 10 fair, and the
berry remarkably plump and bcauti.
full, overrunning the measure by
weight. Ninety cents Ii offered al
Otiey today.
A fine shower fell here last Wednes-
day, but probably too late to quite
repair the damage to the corn by the
drouth.
Two Church buildings will soon go
up in Otley, one by the NJ. II. and the
other by the Dutch Reformed. The
foundation Of the first Is already laid;
and the material for the other, IN the
shape Of dollars, has been subscribed.
I believe your townsman, Mr.. Car
ruthers, has the contract for the first.
Mr.. Rhoades, Grain Merchant of
Otley, has bought new eorn-sheller
and engine, and has them now In
operation. t

DAMAoEs.-Th maxim that "there
is no great loss without some small
gain" seems t6 have converse appli-
cation sometimes. At any rate, the
great gain by the storm last week was
accompanied by some loss. Besides
the damage to the Poor House, else
where mentioned, we hear of some
fences and stacks blown down-in-
Guiding the smoke-stack Of Keefer d
Boyd's Mill-and some corn cut up by
haii and some Frustrated by the wind;
not enough in all to be worth consid-
ering in comparison with the vast
good done by the rain, but still entail
ing some expense on individuals.
