10 Tell, from Tie puUIiSHcu pTOcccO-
ings Of the Board Of Supervisors,
how many panpers were maintained
BY this county last year, and what it
cost per head to maintain them?
Week before last, the Grand
Jury at Iowa City, entered Court,
and reported that they were through
with their business. Judge Roth
rock sent them back, limiting that
they had not disposed of certain vio-
lations of the liquor law. This scene
was repeated next day. The next
time, however, the jury were let off
and they had mt touchcdthc liquor
question either.
A colorcd barber at Fairfield being
subp1naed to serve as Juror, was,
on the usual examination, asked,
care you voter?" and brought
down the house by answering "I'sc
black enough, but not old enough"
The Oskaloosa Herald says, on
the evening Of the I'd inst some one
stole six ponies from the Indians
camps on Middle Creek. They re-
port it done by two white men, and
that they went east with their plum
der.

PATENT AIR BRAKE.

The new air brake which is eNcit-
ing SO much attention -;lInonS1rail
road men was invented in Pittsburg.
1t is automatic and self-adjusting,
but is directed by machinery con-
sists of an air-pump and receiver,
which are worked by the movement
of hand lever at the fire box.
Pipes connect the brakes of the ell
tire train, and through these. by
the movement Of the lever on the
engine, the air is made to act upon
each wheel instantly. The expense
of this apparatus is $500 for the
engine, $25 for the tender, and 500
for each car.

Away to the Country.

At this season of the year, and for
two or three months to come, farmers
are generally short of help, to assist in
getting in the crops. As there are al
ways, in every town, a greater or less
number of young men, who have no
regular business or profession, and who
are idle greater part of the time, we
would advise all such to go Immediately
to the country. There is plenty OF
work there for willing hands to do. The
broad fields of waving grain and the
meadows fragrant with the perfume OF
flowers and new mown hay, invite you
to labor. There is dignity in labor.
The tlller of the soil is natures noble
man-the- only true nobility under a re-
publican government. A farmers oc-
cupation is one of the most honorable
and at the same time the most indie
pendent calling there is. There is a
tendency, however, among many young
men who have been brought up on the
farm, to want to go into something else
They would like to become clerks or
merchants, or something of the kind for
which they haven't the training. We
would say to such, stay where you are,
if you would know what is good for
you. Where one such person succeeds,
ten perhaps, fail, and are obliged to re-
turn often to their former occupation,
after having lost years, it may be, of
precious time. We would say again to
those who are in want of work, away to
the farming districts, and go to work
with a relish, iJkft8 a4t a. 8.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

The Butler. Mo-, Record OF last
Friday says: "One of the most
eart-rending accidents which has
come under our observation for a
long time occurred near John stown
on Sunday morning last, by which
four persons met with their death
father, mother, son and an infant
child. From the meager reports
We CLEAN the following facts:
Mr.. Bottles and family were re-
turning from Germantown, where
they had been attending church,in a
two horse wagon. In crossing
Deepwater the horses became fright
ened and ran away dragging the
son, who was driving, 4 distance of
nearly quarter of 4 mile. In go
ing this distance from the creek, it
appears that the mother jumped out
and had thrown her infant child.
In the afternoon traveller from
Germantown discovered the lifeless
body of the son near the road, com
ing this way he discovered the wo-
man with her neck broken and the
child lying near her, alive. but al
most dead from the effect of heat.
Further on he found the wagon upon
the body of the father, whose body
was Of course inanimate We learn
that the child has since died, thus
completing the quadruple tragedy.
Nothing has been heard of the
horses by our informant up to
Wednesday evening. Mr.. B. was 4
sober, industrious farmer, living 4
few miles of south of Johnstown,
and leaves a large circle of friends
to mourn his untimely death.

Draining the Marshes.

To speak of drainage in Holmes
county which is famous everywhere for
its hills and hollows, may seem to some
as lost time and labor, yet it it true
however that there are many lands in
the bounds of the county that could be
made very valuable, which are now
nearly worthless. The system of drain
age has been carried to such an extent
and to such perfection in almost all parts
of our land, that it is only for want of
the proper energy that any or very lit
tie land should lie waste. The expense
varies in proportion to the manner and
thoroughness of the work done. All
marshes and swamps should be deeply
ditched so as to carry of all heavy
floods of water, especially in the season
when crops are on the lands. So far
this has been an excellent season for
this work, as the marshes have been
pretty thoroughly dried out. There is
but little such land, however, in this
county. in comparison with other
counties, but what little there is should
be attended to and put into cultivation
as speedily as possible.

AMUSING SCENE.

An amusing scene occurred in Court
on Friday. The day was sultry and
The Judge feeling the effects of his
dinner, &C., wasn't as bright as
usual. Court convened at , p. NJ,
and in a very brief time thereafter
his honor forgetting the world and
its troubles took up his abode
in dreamland. Lawyer S--had
the floor in case without a jury
and it was evidently impertant that
his honor having the question to de,
eide should hear the Counsels'
speeches.-Eforts were made tc
awaken his honor indirectly, but nc
90. The sheriff was obliged to ar
rest his attention and by dint Of
considerable shaking brought hin
to a consciousness of his duty. W.
fear somebody has been playing
narcotic joke on the judge,-Bet

Horse Fair.

The races are over. The betting, the
swearing, the presence of rowdies, who
almost always follow in the wake of
such meetings, are all things of the past;
and for the sake of humanity and the
good of our county, we hope will re-
main as by-gones. We have never
heard such universal condemnation
concerning any exhibition of the kind
as we have heard in relation to this last
Horse Fair. Wherever we go, We hear
the question: "How many people were
killed during the races 2" to which We
could reply, none, but that several aeri-
Gus accidents happened, which threat
ened the lives of some one or two per-
sons. A boy by the name of George
Lidy was thrown from his horse, the
horse falling upon him and crushing
him very badly, so that his life was de-
SPARED of for many days. Even yet he
may not be out of danger.
He is recovering slowly, but is not
yet considered out of danger. On the
same day negro boy was thrown and
very badly. injured, but not so badly as
the other boy. Likewise on the self
same day, John S. Orr received tum-
BILE from his buggy, caused by his horse
becoming unmanageable. He soon re-
covered however, having been hurt but
little.
One or two other accidents happened
which were not serious i'm their nature.
The scenes on the street after the affair
was over, were not so disgraceful as last
year, yet there was an abundance of
vile language. The roughs were not so
numerous to all appearance at least.
The people of the county are waking up
to different feeling on these SUBJECTS
from what they had few years ago. A
good fair is good thing-a good, first
class stock, or agricultural fair we
mean-whose design is to improve the
stock of the county. This is what our
people want, and not an exhibition of
horses simply, that are nearly all from a
distance, and which are not calculated to
benefit our own stock 4 particle or do
anybody any good, except to rid some
men of their surplus cash who are at a
loss to know, seemingly, what to do with
it, and to put it into the pockets of
others who almost invariably make
bad use of it. We hope the managers
of our fairs will please notice which
way the wind is blowing, and will get
up a fair that shall be credit to our
county, at large, as well as benefit to
themselves. A good, first-class county
fair, could be made success in this
(Holmes) county. Let there be good
exhibit of all agricultural implements,
products of the soil, stock of all kinds,
and for all purposes; and let there be
good premiums given, such as will
prompt people to make some effort to
have the best, but keep it clear from all
betting and show of gambling. Such a
Fair would be largely attended by the
most respectable people of the county.
We call upon our citizens, and especially
those who generally have the manage
ment of these affairs, to establish at
once just such fair as will be patron-
lied by our enterprising people.
