The most Infamous thing that has
been developed in Iowa lately is the
dastardly action of some champion
william who wrote . letter to the
Dubuque papers, describing in detail
the elopement from her home aud
subsequent debauchery Of . young
r lady at Waverly, giving everything
, with minuteness, including names,
places and dates. The vilIainy was
cunning and the plan so plausible
that it deceived the press, AMI many
E papers copied it. The whole thing
1 was an infamous fabrication, the re.
sort OF q wretch who thus tried to
wreak vengence on the girl or her
family. The young lady is of lead.

0 time this chicfest Of rascals was de-
scriblng her as travelling around
from hotel to hotel in company with
. notorious men. While there arc
such men as this man, we would

county writes to us: "You will
doubtless recollect that during the
rebellion, whenever the Copperhead
papers were satisfied with any officer
in the army, or under the Govern.
, mcnt, that officer invariably turned
out to be . traitor. When those
same papers denounced any officer
IN the army, or under the Govern
ment, that officer always proved to
be the one doing the most for his
country IN putting down the rebel.
: lion. This rule proved true in every
case"
The writer proceeds to say that
as the signs serer failed IN time OF the
+ rebellion, it looks very suspicious
that these same Copperheads should
now be praising William B. Allison
and bitterly denouncing Senator
Harlan. Our Jackson county friend
is not the only one taking note Of
this peculiarity in the Senatorial can
vass now going on in Iowa.-lDav-

The largest yield Of wheat We have
ever recorded. is that raised by Will
liam Stafford on his farm two miles
east OF town. He had besides his
spring wheat, four acres Of fall
wheat, which averaged, a. . whole,
thirty bushels and thirty-6ve pounds

thirty.eiyht bushels and twenty four
pounds. The berry is very good,
and the yield something to brag

that Iowa cannot raise wheat, will
