On the Farm.

VI sMO ~
The prospects for farmers are
again rather discouraging as at the
prices grain brings it barely pays the
cost OF production; certain it is that
it does not afford any profit to amount
to anything. Blu, suppose so long
Is specializing monopol,es control the
grain market farmers will have to
"grin and bear IT," With wheat at
Une dollar a bushel, farming Is self
supporting, but at q smaller figure
most farmers need a bank to fall
back upon. But we are told by most
every stump speaker, (who is mt q
farmer,) that the farmers are the only
independent class Of people existing.
l sometimes wonder why they do MT
reduce their theory to practice. But
they seldom do so, and, if perchance
they do start, they soon become tired
of it and giveit up. 1t is possible
that the professions, the trades, and
various avocations of life are crowd
Ell SO that now it is policy to talk
and preach as they do; possibly too
it may be said of farming that eds
lance lends enchantment to the
vlew." Right certain it is that there
should be more variety Of occupation,
manufactures started and the pro-
Queer and consumer brought togetll-

Grapes in Tama.
We have had the pleasure recently Of in>
specting the vineyard Of Mr.. James Burge,
Of Tama township, and desire to record
what we saw there for the encouragement
Of those who are engaged, or about to en-
gage, in grape culture.
Mr.. Burge has set apart few acres fac
ing nicely to the south, and devoted most Of
it to grapes. His most prosperous varie-
ties are the Delaware, the Concord and the
Iona. Besides these are several others, all
heavily laden. In many places the weight
Of the fru. has dragged down the trellises,
even pulling out the staples from the posts.
Fairly estimated, We think Mr.. Durge's
yiola Of grapes this year cannot fall short
OF two tons. His vineyard is young, and
under the training he gives il will soon be
capable Of twice ss great . yield.
In confederation Of what We had to say
recently in regard to oees, We notice that
Mr.. Burge has now thirty three colonies,
being the expansion Of sixteen brought
through last Winter. Good stands Of bees
are now bringing $50 tc S25a piece. Gees
will pay.

A Dream Verified.

A Dream Verified.
A Mr.. Metcalt has been at work
in the harvest field in Crystal town
ship during the late harvest, leaving
mis- horses, of which he had two, in
the pasture Of West Wilson, esq.
On the morning OF the Sd inst. he
told the folks where he worked that
he had dreamed the night previously
that one of his horses was dead, and
detailed which one it was He had
not seen his horses for at least two
weeks.
About two hours after Mr.. Met.
calf had detailed his dream, affirming
his belief of its verlfcation, Mr.. West
Wilson came over to him and told
him his horse had been dead a day
or two and that it had been found
only that morning. It was the very
horse Mr.. Metcalt dreamed was dead.
The philosophy Of the matter is
left tor the philosophically inclined.

As the Citizen has frequently seen
fit to praise aud laud the State Reg.
lister for nearly every virtue that it or
any other journal can possibly pos
sess, we hope It will not BE- Is it
proper to throw the word mot" be.

from two sentences of the editorial
columns Of the State Register, Of
August 0. to.wit:

And SO exercised orr

The Citizen says that the object of
the injunction suit, Merchant W Ia
ma City, was to prevent the expendi.
ture of ten or fifteen thousand dol.
lars upon a Jail building, as the petit.
TONERS believed that the County Seat
would soon be removed to lama
City.
A large majority Of people who
know anything about the MISTER
know that it was proposed to expend
only fos Mousand dollars on the Jail
building, in addition TO the land.
One object Of the injunction was, to
have the value Of the land counted
in the five thousand dollars which
the Board Of Supervisors was al.
lowed to put into the Jail. As to
any expectation that the County Seat
would soon, or remotely, be removed
to lama City, we do not believe it
has been seriously Entertained by a
dozen intelligent people OF Tama
City.
A man named Dobbs, from Mis-
souri,, notifies a citizen Of Ottumwa
by letter, that this terrestrial ball will
be no more after September 9Th,
which letter the Courier publishes
rerbatim, and advises Dobbs to pay
what he owes them before he puts on
his ass encion robes, for fear st
Peter may say, "Dobbs, Dobbs, have
you paid the printer ?" Some par
ties hercabouts might get caught
in the same boat, if September 5
should be the last.

School Reports.

blank we are now printing. II is a
weekly report Of each pupil in school,
showing the number of days during

is made out weekly and sent to the
parent or guardian SD that each one
may know weekly the progress his
child or ward is making in his stud
les as well as what his department
is. All who have tried the use OF
such reports, testify to their val
NC to the individual pupils as we'll as
to the whole school. These reports
are used in the Toledo public school,
and in many other schools in the
county. They will be sent free to

A Clear Case.
The following from an exchange
puts the case happily "a wholesale
dealer in New York who has become
rich in his business, has lately made
the following revelation He SAID his
rule always was when he sold bill
Ut goods on credit to i'm llediately
subscribe for the local paper of his
debtor. So long as his customer ad-
vertised literally and vigorously, he
rested easy, but as soon as he began
to contract his advertising space. he
took the fact as evidence that there
was trouble ahead, and invariably
went for his debtor. For said he,
the man who feels too poor to make
his business known, is too poor to do
business. The Withdrawing Of adj
refreshments is an evidence of weak
ness that business men are not slow
to observe

the neck which he now carries. He
was atterward wounded by the reb-

and at the battle of Nashville, where
his gallant rider was killed. He is
pretty old now, and is doing the
work of q common work horse.

H Q f L A n DIS
G. E R NAN BITTERS,

This remarkable preparation has been
before the public for many years. II has
been tested in thousands Of eases, and
where the directions we're strictly observed
invariably with salutary effect. The hund.
reds Of testimonials from the most pronin>
ent public and private citizens in the coun.
try, testify to its superior virtues, and the
constantly increasing demand for it, proves
the estimation in which it is held. This is
not surprising, IS the philosophy Of its ac-
ton upon the dyspectic system proves.
