Mr.. II. 7. HELMBOLD;
DEAR SIR: About two years ago I was troubled
with both Inflammation Of the Kidneys and Gravel,
when resorted to several remedies, without de-
irving any benefit whatever; and seeing your Ex-
TRACT BUcHU advertised, procured few bottles
and used them. The result was complete cure ina
short time. regard your Extract Buchu to be de-
oidedly the best remedy extant, for any and all
Diseases Of the Kidneys, and am quite confident
that It will do all you claim for it. You may pub
hsh this if you desire to do so.
Yours respectfully,
EDWIN NJ. FEAZELs

WOMAN ARREsTED.-A woman
living some 6 miles north Of Red Rock
was arrested on the 10th inst, on
charge Of vagrancy, and brought before
Esq. Wikle. Being held to bail In
the sum OF 500 for future good be-
havior, and being unable to give 1t,
she was Of course committed to Jail,
and taken to Oskaloosa. Having
heard some reports that she had been
very badly treated, we made inquiries,
and have been assured, upon what We
deem good authority, that such was
not the case in any way. AS we are
informed, there was amply sufficient
reason for official action; and her re-
sistance to the Constables was &c
forcible and violent that they were
absolutely compelled to tie her hands
and feet. Further particulars we
deem It unnecessary to mention al
present. ~

THE Hot WEATHER.--C.G q. Brobst,
ESQ.,, of Knoxville, kindly furnishes
US with q transcript from his Their
mometrical Record, from which we
find that the average degree Of heat
for the week ending last Saturday
night was 90 and six-sevenths degrees!
It ranged from 9Oo on Monday to lOl'
on Friday, in the shade. We believe
there has been no parallel to this in
Iowa. One of those penny-a-line
philosophers" who dilute so-called
Science for the New York papers has
been arguing lately that the numerous
spots on the sun were going to dimin-
ish the amount of heat received by
the earth, but that what heat was left
would be much hotter than usual!
Andit would appear that this last part
Of his theory is correct-at any rate,
the amount of heat last week was
hotter than any equivalent amount Of
heat which we can remember receiv-
ing last Winter.

A QUESTION ANswERED.-Mr. E. T.
Gadd, Of Oskaloosa, on the 14th inst.
wrote to Mr.. Wright, President Of the
Bank of this place, inquiring whether
the charges of intemperance and
drunkenness that have been made
against Gov. Stone could be substanti.
ated. The answer Is signed by Mr..
Wright and by some 10 or Is others Of
our most prominent men, Democrats
rs well as Republicans, and by Judge
Lindley, Hon. b. +. Keables and II.
q. Curtis, asserting most unequivocal-
ly that such charges are utterly un-
true, and that the Governor Is known
to them as a reliable and consistent
Temperance man. We never knew
anything about this correspondence
until We saw the whole published,
with the names, In the Oskaloosa
Herald Of last Thursday. The names
of all the people Of Knoxville and
vicinity could readily have been OBJ
tanned, in addition to those given, II
they had been solicited. Gov. stones
meanest enemies dare not charge him
with intemperance here.

found himself trying to get up; but

CONGRESSIONAL TIoURiNG.--Our
neighbor the Democrat this week does
some figuring on the Congressional
prospect in this District and thinks
Gov. Stone Is certainly defeated" On
the contrary we think we can figure
up from 40 to 46 votes for him in the
Convention before the last ballot Is
over. Just wait till the 18th of next
month, gentlemen.
The Democrat remar,s:-"For a
candidate, we are in favor Of Tough
ridge. For Member of Congress, il
we must have radical, we are in ia
vor Of Stone" This, from paper
which has so long and bitterly as
sailed the Governor, must be accepted
as high tribute to his ability and

Gov. WIN. M. SToNE.-The news
papers in the interest Of Hon. VIM.
1oughridge seem to be greatly out
ragged and wronged because Gov. VIM.
M. Stone has seen proper to visit the
several counties in the 4th Congress
sional District, and speak in his own
justification and defense. Now we
fail to see the improperly of this
proceeding.
Gov. Stone certainly has as much
right to travel round as any other In
dividual, as long as he travels at his
own expense, and, certainly, there is
less improperly in his doing so than
for members Of Congress who are
already receiving their pay from the
government, to leave their seats, neg
lect the business Of their constituents,
and come home for the purpose of
electioneering themselves into office
again. The main trouble with these
sorely vexed advocates of Mr.. Lough-
ridge is, that whatever localities Gov.
Stone has visited, the tide Of popular
opinion has flown in his favor, and in
those counties where the delegates
have been instructed to go for Stone,
he is universally and intimately
known and respected. There is such
a manly frankness in his demeanor,
that 1t at once gains him friends
wherever he goes, and causes the blush
of shame to mantle the faces of his
traducers. This is where the shoe
pinches. Gov. VIM. M. Stone violates
no law, and IL guilty of no improperly
when he visits the people of the 4th
Congressional District, and especially
when solicited by his friends to do so.
AS general thing, the people are
anxious to see and hear the man who
Is "a candidate for an important posi-
ton. They are certainly better able
to draw a correct conclusion as to n
mans ability and worth, after seeing
him and hearing him speak, than they
would otherwise be.--Albi1 Union.

COOP WHEAT.--Mr. J. G. Brice as
sures us that in his vicinity, the south
west corner of this Tp., the wheat has
done well this year. Mr.. James Richie
has cut 90 acres which it Is believed
will yield 80 bushels to the acre; Mr.
C. McGinnis cut 20 acres which will
average 80 bushels; and there are sew.
eral other fields which will pan out
almost as well, while there are none
in that vicinity estimated at less than
10 bushels per acre. Mr.. Brice thinks
the average yield In that section will
be over Is bushels. Good for that.
Wish all the County could do as we'll,
but believe the general average will
hardly be up to this.

THE DR0UTH, IL we should have
no rain this week, will be really seri-
Gus. There have been occasional
showers In various localities; but very
much of the corn has been really suf-
fering from lack Of rain. Many
Farmers assure us that their corn is
already killed; while others, more
favored, complain but little. What
proportion of the corn crop Is already
lost by the drouth, 1t 10 impossible
now to Judge; but the average has
certainly been materially lessened.
Wells here In town are drying up,
We do not desire to exaggerate mat
tiers; but there certainly Is great need
Of rain.

Ed. VoTER:-Thinking that q few

terest to some Of your readers, I seat
myself for the purpose of penning
them. Well, to begin:-The people
are generally done harvesting; and
the wheat, though thin, is well filled
and will yield splendidly. Oats are
tolerably good; but the grass is very
poor, not making half crop. The
corn crop Is certainly being injured by
the dry weather, to what extent it is
difficult to determine; but II We do
not get rain very soon, apprehend
that the crop will DO very seriously

DEAR VoTER:-The Voter CORES
pondence from Clay TIP. having failed
to make its appearance for some time,
I propose to note . few items:
The harvest is over, and we can now
Estimate the result. The average Is
about equal to 1868; and had the grain
been thick enough, the yield would
have been equal to that year, but be-
ing thin on the ground, I estimate
the average at Is bushels per acre.
Oats, the usual amount sown, yield
good. There is q larger number lof
acresl of corn growing than ever be-
fore in this Tp., and it Is quite for
ward. has been well cultivated, and
looks well, except that it is needing
rain badly-especially that growing
on old land.
OF the improvements made this sea-
son, worthy Of note:-James Harvey,
one of our good Farmers, has fenced
and put into cultivation about 70 acres
Of new land, and planted most OF 1t IN
corn. John Gordon and J. IL. Chris
man have each enclosed about 40 acres,
and have the greater part planted to
corn. A number Of smaller improve
ments have been made, that l do not
now call to mind.
In the way Of new buildings !
would note that the Methodists in the
east part Of the Township, in connec-
ton with those of Bellefontaine, have
their Church SO far advanced that
they occupied it last Sabbath, holding
their 4th Quarterly Meeting therein.
