THE ST.. JAMES OrESrSe.-One of

THE ST. JAMES OPENING.-One of the
most complete and enjoyable occasions
of festivity ever had in our city, was that
attending the formal opening of the new
S.. James Hotel last Friday evening.
About $50 ladies and gentlemen were in
attendance, all of whom seemed to enter
into the spirit of the occasion, and enjoy
ed themselves to the utmost The spacious
Wilcox Hall was cleared for dancing, and
at an early hour to the splendid music of
the Manchester band great majority of
the company were gracefully floating
through the mazes Of the dance. With
a company not too large for comfort, the
ladies gracious and the gentlemen agree
able, everybody striving to please and
having admirable success, the hours pass
ed pleasantly until supper was announced
at II O'Clock. Soon the tables in the
dining room of the ST. James were sur
rounded by the guests, well prepared to
do justice to the superb rcpast provided
by the gentlemenly proprietors. The
supper was voted success, an ample
test of the capacity alike Of the landlady
and the guests. The tables groaned be-
meath an array of delicacies in and out
Of season, nothing beng spared to make
this feature of the entertainment complete
in all respects. After supper came dane
ing again to tie "wee sma hours" when
the company broke up in the best ofspirits,
pleased with themselves, with each 9th
er, and with good wishes to the St. James
and it's hospitable hosts. The affair as
pecuniary benefit was success, leaving
something handsome in the hands of
Messrs. Pettengill & Co.

Indians (white ones, perhaps) around on

The Fourth at Winthrop.

WINTHROP, Iowa, July 18th, 1871.
ED. BULLETIN. as none of
our ''literati'' deign to notice in your
columns our splendid little affair of the
4th inst, it is no more than fair that an
outsider should note the event. 1t is
Just possible that little chagrin pre-
cludes an expression on the part of some,
for be 1t known that thereby hangs a
tale 1t was the pleasure of select few
to predict complete failure in our at
tempt to enjoy Sabbath School celebra-
ton on the GLORIOUS fourth" but when
their astonished visions revealed nearly
5000 persons in procession led by stirring
music, and the morning air of that beau
tiful day ringing with the din and shouts
of youthful celebrators, it may be fairly
inferred that the tune of failure was
pitched to a lower key.
AS usual Mr.. Dunlap threw open the
gates to his magnificent elm grove, and
the crowd found platform, seats and ice
cream stands all prepared for the occasion.
In passing the track Of the railroad the
morning express train gave us fine sig
nal salutat:on from handkerchiefs moving
at every window of the coaches. Arriv-
ing at the grove Rev. L. w. Brintnall
opened the exercises with devout patri-
otto appeal to the God Of nations for his
blessing, then followed vocal music led
by Mr. Q. Powers The declaration of
Independence Was then read by DR..
Markham, after which the Rev. Mr..
Cauch gave us an Grafton every word of
...l, r@11 1,a
event of the day, for under the dense
shading of those tai inns numerous cir
Giles were collected and the picnic per
formance opened. All enjoyed them
selves hugely. The capital suggestion
was acted upon, that the ice cream stand
should pay the expenses of the celebra-
ton. This arrangement drew heavily
upon no particular person. In fact sue
cess was the uniform result, and not a
case of inebriation or injury in the least
degree occurred. Winthrop can enjoy
herself collectively as well as individual
" without variance of taste or opinion
to mar the general pleasure. 1t should
not be omitted that after the inner man
and woman was refreshed, toasts and re-
spOnses were given in the most happy
spirit. We happen to possess the ma
tcrial for an enjoyable fourth, and the
advantage should never be neglected. No
dust to annoy nor doggcry to curse by
its presence, the comfort and quiet of the
vicn ty. Unfortunately for that digni-
tary no representative of the BULLETIN
graccd the occasion by his presence, but
next July a free ticket shall be forwarded
and then much better report of the oc-
casion will follow. X.

Mr.. ED1ToR:-I see in the BULLETIN
of last week that an article from the De
corah Republican states, that barley had
been harvested near that place in just
eighty days after seeding.

in Buchanan county as the following dates
will show: We finished getting in our

it on the 3D. day of July, being seventy

menced in Buchanan county. A large
share of the barley and oats are already
cut, and next week the clattcr Of the
rcapcrs will be heard in the wheat fields
pretty lively One farmer, Mr. Gay
lord of Winthrop, is well into a six hun
dred acre harvest of small grain, with
four or five reapers, and it is safe to say
will not have much time to talk politics
for the next six weeks. From all we can
learn the crop will be fair one, not quite
up to last year in grade, perhaps, but
much better in quantity. Hands are not
scarce, the wages being from $3.50 to
S2.OO.

For Decentralization has the
sponge, as far as human monstrosity
is concerned. \ boy, named Forbes,
lives at Jackson. He is worse than a
hen-always hungry, and never finds
anything too nasty for him to eat. He
is a natural thief, stealing everything
he can get his hands on. and has to be
chained. He will eat half a peck of
apples at a time. Three or four dozen
raw eggs is no large meal for him.
He bolts down raw meat, drinks blood,
eats raw corn, potatoes, cabbage. and
ali sorts of stuff which he can Law his
hands upon. He crunches them down
like a dog, and a pail Of milk never
satisfies him. Mrs. Gavitt. who hired
him oil her farm, says:
Whenever a chicken was killed he
would seize the fowl and suck the
blood flowing from the neck. Two
wears ago. while killing Il COW, Mr..
Gavitt left the boy to watch the carcass
while he was away for a little while.
He returned in twenty minutes. and
found that little Forbes had licked the
blood entirely from the hide which
had just been taken from the animal.
While killing hogs once, he devOured
raw three belly pieces" and three
pounds of fresh lard. The boy. after
having ate as much as he can hold,
will stick his finger down his throat.

How IT WORKs.-The arrest of r.

fraud, appears to be case of malicious
prosecution under that greatest of in

and while there was no signature or
other official mark on the copy to
show that it ASA poll list, the bayonet
