A Loss, AND GAIS.--Old MIR. j.
&. sharer, who lives out some two or
three miles southeast Of town, had n
COW which strayed Off In the woods
lately, and got fast ia an old trec-top
and couldn't get out again. Some
folks who were out blackbcrrying
found her and hauled her home in II
wagon, but she died from starvation.
This was the loss. Well, Mr.. Sherer
had two acres OF wheat ready to cut,
last Thursday night Last Friday
morning, when he rot up out OF bed
ardhappened to look out toward the
wheat, he found that ii was a!leut ana
stood there In the shack, asking no
odds Of him. And then Mr.. SIS rheuni'
attic limbs feit easier, and his heart
was thankful to the kind neigiibore
VINO stealthily did this good deed for
h!m. And certainly In Heaven there
IL record Of this charity for those
ueiy!,hors, who, wearied fram their
own harvest fields, gave this silent
work az night to help a poor old man.

4 pgDTgsT. The condition of the
road between here aud PeIia il abom-
jnsble-disgraceful 10 the County,
indeed, because 1t might 80 easily be
made better bat isn't. The road never
could be made a good one, with any
reasonable amount Of work; but since
il /. the main artery Of the Country,
and since almost every body and every
thing coming here from the Railroad
have 10 come over IL, itcertainly ought
10 be kept In a. good repair as possible.
But instead Of that IL Is just the other
way. There seems 10 be almost 40
work done on IL at all-and that little
consists mainly in blowing UP the
track and leaving IL 80 no wagon or
buggy can 20 over 1t. The cuIverts
are nearly all in very bad condition,
and some Of them are positively dan
gerous. And any day some man may
lose a hOrse, or full team, at one of
thetn-and his only redress would he
through lawsuit which would cost
him more than IL came 10. This Il all
radically wrong, wrong everyway. md
IL can he mended and ought to he

PERsoSAL.-Capt. Mathews and his
daughters Misses Augusta and Addie,
with Miss Hattie Porterfeld, of this
place, and Miss Crate Of Pella, re-
turned to their respective homes the
latter part of last week, from the State
Agricultural College, for short visit,
intending to go back TO the College on
Tuesday OF this week, to be present at
the opening Of the Term. The Capt.
was accompanied by DIR. Foote, Profess
sor OF Chemistry at the College, who
thus makes his first visit TO our town
The Dr's courteous address and bear
ing would progresses in his favor even
those who were ignorant of his pro-
found scientific attainments. He and
Capt. Mathews gave US n pleasant call
on Friday. From them we learn that
there are now some 40 or $50 students
in the Agricultural College-filling the
Institution to its utmost capacity. APP
plications are constantly received for
the admission Of other students, and
are placed on file in their order. The
new wings of the College building will
be completed in a few weeks, and then
40 or 80 more students can be received.
The Institution is in every way pros
porous aud eilicient-as we are glad to
learn.
Mr.. VIM. Burns, whose wife is a
daughter Of DIR. French Of this place,
