SNIrE.-We presume none Of our
sportsmen would confess to having VIC
lated the game laws this season, but we
hear that the slaughter Of "snipe" has
been extensive. We cannot say from our
own knowledge that they are not snipe,
and therefore are not prepared to charge
that the law has been violated There is
certainly no good reason why prairie
chickens should be shot before the time
allowed by law, even it. us is alleged this
season, they are more fully developed
than usual The time for hunting after
the first of August is ample, and it seems
to us that true sp0rtsmen should not es
tablish precedent this year, which if
followed next may go far toward cxtcr-
minating the game.

THE HARVEST. cutting of the

THE HARVEST cutting of the
crops in this county is nearly finished,
the favorable weather Of the past two
weeks enabling the farmers to make ex-
traordinary Roadway with their work.
Owing to dry weather the grain is some
what difficult to bind and some Of the
farmers do this work after shutdown, the
splendid moonlight nights being favora-
bic for that purpose. We hear of several
farmers who have nearly finished stack
ing, and it is quite probable that with
favorable weather all will have secured
their grain by the middle of next month
The tLreshing machines are beginning
their annual rounds, but no very large
amount of new grain has yet been brought
to market. Corn needs rain and will
suffer if it does not come soon. The
growth for this time in the season is just
.'tremeniuS"

The New BLoCK-The new brick
block of four stores, now building on the
south side of Main street opposite the
BULLETIN office, is progressing favorably,
and will be fine addition to the arcbi-
lecture of the street The iron fronts
from the Star Foundry of G. B. Rogers,
are now set in place, and will compare
flvorably with any work in the same
line, procured from Dubuque or else
where The mason work of the building
is approaching completion, nothing re-
naming but the front walls, above the
first story After this will come the roofs
and the building will be enclosed. 1t is
designed to have the whole ready for
occupancy by the first of October. The
work is well and skillfully done so far,
and is credit to the builders, Messrs.
Phillips and linn. When completed, the
block will be occupied as follows:
The east store by Durham & Jordan,
with first class grocery store. This
store will be 90 by so. The upper story
will be the location, for an indefinite per
ion, of the BULLETIN CONGRATULATIONS

cupy the rear portion of the second story,
the front being engaged by d. d. Hol-

quarters we shall congratulate ourselves
on a happy release from juxtaposition
with rum. Smale Brothers will occupy
the next store west of Taylor's, and with
their we'll known taste and ncatncss il
is not too much to predict that they will
have one of the ncatest drug establish

block will be occupied by the new firm

dealer August Myers, being the senior
partner. They propose to open out il

Rev. SMITH has just returned from
Iowa City, where he has been attending
tlie Methodist Conventions; he is fully
convinced that there was nothing i'm
proper in the course of Senator Harlan
and DR. Newman Cor. Fdyettt
Union.
We had been told, and fully believed
that there was nothing of a political char
actcr discussed inside or outside of the
Methodist Convention at Iowa City, but
it seems that somebody had time during
it's sessions to labor with doubling breth
rem and convince them that there was
nothing improper in the course of Sena
tor Harlan and DIR. Newman" Was il
the Senator himself who thus killed two
birds with one stone?

THE AGENCY DEMONSTRATING OF
the article in another column regarding
patent right swindling, reminds us that
we are in possession "f copy of the
Marysville (CaD appeal, in which the
operations of one Observation-Disclosures
known to most of our readers-are thus
set forth:
"This enterprislng genius, under pre-
tense of selling the farmers new seed
ing their notes for various sums. The,
agricultural imprement was to be furnish
ed in ten or twelve days, and they gave
their notes for the machine, which never
put in an appearance, hence the victims
declined, and rightly too, to pay the OBJ
legation On examination it was discOv-
ere! that the notes were drawn payable
for the agency, and not for the machine"
We know nothing about this case ex-
cent what appears above, and we publish
it solely because it concerns man who
once lived in Independence. We have
been induced in one or two instances to
refrain from publishing articles OF the
kind for the same reason, but that Is
"played out" Patent right dealers must
stand or fall by their record. The latter
we shall publish when we can get reason
ably authentic reports of it,

THE FLORAL HALL.-We are favored
by Jed Lake, Esq, Secretary Of the Ag.
ricultural Society, with description OF
the Floral Hall, proposed to be erected
on the Fair Grounds, in time for the COM
ing County Fair.
The building will be octagonal in form
with sides twenty feet long, making the
diameter of the building about sixty two
feet. The height to the caves will be
sixteen feet, from which the roof will
converge to the center, and be surmount-
ed at the point of intersection of the raft
ers with a flag staff thirty feet high
There will be two entrances on opposite
sides, and two windows in each section
of the walls, one above and one below.
The internal arrangements will be as
follows: There will be in the centre of
the building around the centre pole
pyramid, consisting of shelves about one
foot apart, the lower tier being about
Is feet in diameter, and the others dimin
ishing gradually as they rise toward the
top. This pyramid will be devoted to
the display of the fancy department of
the Fair. Next the outside walls will be
gallery eight feet wide, and the same
height from the lower floor. Aroun6the
outside of this gallery and the section be-
low it will be ranged shelves, for the dis
play of such articles as require to be ex-
hibited within DOORS This is the plan.
1t has been submitted to competent me-
chanics to estimate on, and bids are al
ready in for the construction of the
building, although the contract has not
yet been awarded Besides this proper
sheds and pews for stock will be provided,
and every convenience afforded those
who may wish to be competitors.
CRUELTY TO CHILD-One of our
respectable citizens came to us the other
day, quite excited with Indignation at the
conduct of a mother, in the upper part of
the city, toward her little one, of about
six years. Our friend described her as
chasing it from the house in a blaze of
fury, catching it by the hair, humping it
on the ground and finally ending the in
human programme by kicking it severely.
1t hardly seems DOSSible that a mother
should so misuse her own offspring, but
it often happens that helpless children
need more defense against those who
should be their natural protectors than
against strangers. We fully sympathize
with our friend in his detestation of such

THE Mt Pleasant Journal suggests that
when town councils license saloons for
the sale of beer and wine, one section OF
the ordinance should provide that there
shall be no back door and no screens or
stained windows in the building where
it is sold. Such provision would
amount almost to total prohibition.-Er
To which, in behalf of the respectable
people of this city, we would add another
suggestion. 1t is, that wherSahe council
prohibits the sale of wine and beer on
Sunday, and also provides for the arrest
and incarceration of drunken loafcrs who
may be Keeling all over the streets on the
same day, that it shall be especially "nom
mated in the bond" that the officer upor
whom the responsibility falls of enforcing
the laws, shall be required to do one o
three things, attend to his duty, forfeit
! his snlary or resign.
