Supervisors have authorized the auditor
to procure, at the cost of the county, a
copy of Conklin's "Iowa Justicen for

New DAILY.-We have for some
time been looking for the new Daily
Clinton Herald, and upon its arrival,
are nothing disappointed in our expec-
tation to see good paper. Published in
one of the liveliest of Iowa's many live
towns, situated upon a great artery of
trade with no competing daily for a
long distance either way, and ably and
judlcionsly managed, there is every
reason to expect as we certainly hone
for the eminent success OF the Daily
Herald.

STRUCK by Observation-Disclosures
Clother, a carpenter living in Stan

four O'Clock last Saturday p. NJ. and is

physicians are hopeful of his recovery.
Mr.. G. was riding q horse just in the
edge of the village when the electrical
discharge occurred, the fluid apparently
irst striking upon a carpenters rule
which he CARED in a pocket made for
purpose along the side ofhis leg. The
metal that tipped the rule was fused
and the horse instantly killed, while
Mr.. Clother was severely affected by the

CHICKEN STEALING. Thursday even.
ing of last week, one Of our citizens dis
covered raiders on his chicken roost, and
slipping out, precipitated his 200 pounds
avoirdupois upon the back of one of the
rascals whom he found STOPPING down
inside the coop. Although looking for
fresh meat, this two hundred weight Of
the liyeliest kind was more than the
rascal bargained fOr-on his back, at all
events; and it was no time till he found
himself pinioned by a sturdy knee upon
each arm, while a vigorous hand showed
a disposition to cut off supplies by a
grasp of the throat. This was the not
very pleasant fix of Skalawag No. ], ,
when No. ,, from without, shouted,
I "why don't you shoot the old fool:' and
seeing that bis partner was not shooting
very fast seized fence rail to do it
with himself. The upshot of the mat
ter was that the two thieves and the
fence rail proved too many for the old
man and he was forced to let the former
escape; but he captured the rail and a
hat, and is rather inclined to think that
when they come again some shooting
, may occur-though not with Il rail.

way, being shown the Court to be but
seventeen years of age, and but begin

the Reform School. The parents of the
boy who are estimable people living at or
near West Liberty, made him visit at
the county Jail last week. Although in
sorrow at his fail, they have cause to be

the penitentiary among hardened crimi.

in him may be fostered, and the evil
depressed, and from which he can come
without the shame of convict, to take
such place in society as he may choose

rick Boyle, to whom a new trial has
been granted by the Supreme Court,
from the penitentiary and deliver him

do not care to argue this any farther. for

terward, Gen. Hancock received from
the Lieutenant General curt answer in
the following insulting terms.
81 am requested by the President to
inform you that there is nothing in your
personal relations to Gen. Grant, or In
your official relations to his administra-
ton, that could justify your promotion
now, or lead you to expect it hereafter. y

to ignore the just claims of this distin

He might have closed the door agains
