maple trees that cut 8 tcn.feet rails to

Bro. Drainard says that for tho Re-
publican and Press to conspire TO
crush the Tribune would be like two
elephants conspiring to crush louise.
How compllmentary-to themssIres--
those Iowa City papers are Now
let as hear from the Tribune.
Robert Duff, of Madison county,
lately lost one half Of his flock Of fifty
sheep, in one night by dogs. 1t the
farmers would elect few less pro-

| Rip Van Winkle, one OF the pious
farmers OF Story county, either had .
long sleep, or period Of forgetful-
ness, last week. On Sunday he drove
into Navada, with the intention Of
buying some farm machinery. He
was under the impression that it was
Saturday, and when he learned the
exact position in the calender he oO

The Pella Blade has the following
interesting local item:
A young lady had very sore
throat cured the other night by hav-
ing coat sleeve wound round it,
She says it is sovereign remedy
Sore throats have prevailed in that
locality among her friends Of her own
sex since that time, only yielding 10
the coat sleeve remedy.
The question ID, how does the
Blade know about. the coat sleeve
remedy.
Near Wilton, Capt. Alexander, u.
s. Assistant Revenue Assessor, ex-
amined, as in drty bound, the opera
Itions OF an alleged illegal dis,iller. 1t
was found that he was boiling or
steaming hogs swill. He tried to
make whisky from the line OF materi-
q! on hand, but it did not prove pala-
table. The man was not taxed, and
the Republican and Chronicle duhi-
ously suggests there must have beea
"a joke on somebody"
Mr.. Stanchfield, OF Grundy county,
was the victim OF Judgment obtain
cd against him by Gibbs Bros, of
Parkersburg, which Mr.. S. cody lot

balance. Stanchield sued tor the re-
covering OF his draft, and the suit
came OF before Esq. Wh;te6eId, Par

asked him il that was his? He said
it was. "Are you sure," said P
Yes" "Well, take it and git up and

The way the draft was recovered, but
just how it is to turn out We can't
ray.

boy was lighting = stove fire by pour
ing kerosene upon the chips, when
the can exploded. Tho undertaker's

says: lin his disease, Asa sought not
the Lord, bat the physicians; aud
Asa slept with his father"
