TIE MALoNEy AssAULT.-Thc pre-
liminary examination Of Tom Maloney
John McGrady and J. Wingert, for the
assault on Jim Malonly three weeks
since, took place before Esq. Roszell last
Monday and Tuesday, and resulted in
the discharge of McGrady and Wingert,
and the committal ofTom Maloney under
$500 bail on the charge Of assault with
intent to kill. In our first notice of the
transaction we expressed the belief that
both Tom Maloney and John McGrady
were deserving of the penitentiary. The
testimony seems to indicate that only one
of them deserves such punishment, and
that Mr.. McGrady was not guilty of the
assault. We,are glad for his sake that
such is the case, and hope in the future
that he will not be found in bad company,
and thus render himself liable to misrep-
resentation. AS to Wingert, we have
never supposed that the action for assault
could be maintained against him, but he
has repeatedly and continuously violated
the ordinances of the city in selling beer
without license, and on Sunday. 1t was
in consequence of this violation of law
that the Maloney row occurred, and we
are ''free to maintain" that exact justice
would warrant his punishment for the
offenses named. For more than year
he and Seeland in their big breweries
have successfully evaded and defied the
ordinance, while from the keeper ofevery
7by9 doggery in town the license has
been exacted without mercy. Let the
laws be administered impartially or not

ToAND FROM QUAsQUET0N.-While out
for drive from Independence to Quas-
queton, we could not but admire the
splendid condition of the intervening
country, and the thriving aspect Of the
crops. The new roads which have been
laid off on the west side of the river, car
~ one through large tract of land but
recently put under the plowshare Of the
husbandman. A large portion Of it was.
timber land, and under cultivation has
made rich yields of grain. Our return on
the east side of the river was pleasanter
than the down trip from the fact that the
road runs through wooded country.
There is not much to complain of, how
ever, on either side of the noble Wapsie
fresh woods and pastures green lie on
every side of his winding path. There
are few more enjoyable routes for drive
than the Quasqueton road on this side of
the river. The tidy-looking farm houses,
the mills, the quiet school-houses and the
burying grounds, the trees with their
over-reaching arms of shade, and the
dreamy tranquility of the air at this sea-
son Of the year, with the piping of frogs,
singing of birds and insects, and the min
gled whispers of myriad leaves, make it
almost enchanting.

RIoToUs-Antony Hageman and Glib.
Lines were trying to hold each other
down Thursday forenoon, with no def
mite result Itscems Antony had been
saying bad things about Glib, and when
Glib. caught him, he desired an explana
ton, which Antony was rather 10th to
give, whereupon Glib. deposed that An
tony was liar anyhow. THIS deposition
Antony was unwilling to admit, and let
out a bunch of fives" at Glib. This was
too much for GIBBS good humor, and with.
out further ceremony, he topplcd Antony
off of his "pins," fell on him, and both
clinched. All this occurred in the house
under repairs on Mott Street. Both lay
in the shavings, locked in an endearing
embrace. This is all we were able to
learn. A gust Of wind blew sawdust in
their eyes, broken nail fell on them, or
a plank broke, and woke them from

SLEEPY JOHN AT MARsHALLTOwN..

SLEEPY JOHN At MARsHALLTowN.-
Among the Incidents acotemporary with
the editorial gathering at Marshalltown
last week, was very closely contested
and exciting trotting race, in which our
Independence stopper, Sleepy John, was
the victor; the other entries being Home
ly Jim, Of Cedar Falls, and 10 Hooker,
of Ottumwa. The admirers of Sleepy
John in this vicinity would have found
new ground for their faith in his speed
and endurance could they have witnessed
the well contested field. The little brown
horse snatched victory out OF the very
teeth of defeat, and carried off the hon
ors by the honest exercise of muscle, and
that only. The race was the usual best
three in five, and it took the five heats to
decide it.
The positions for the first heat were
Homely Jim at the pole, Hooker next and
John third. The heat was taken by Jim,
in 1885, with John close on his quarter and
Hooker not far behind
The second heat was an exciting one
BY means of break Hooker passed Jim
and maintained the lead of the field until
the home stretch, where John electrified
the crowd by one of his bursts, collaring
Hooker and passing under the line neck
behind. Hooker took the heat in 2:35.
In both these heats John broke badly
For the third heat the horses scored a
dozen times, and finally got a good send
off, On the back stretch, Mac having
made up his mind to quit fooling, John
went right down to his work, passed
Jim and Hooker by fair footing-neither
Of them breaking-and came to the
scratch a length in advance, in 1851.

heats, John having the pole, was fore

THE CRoPs.-Some of our farmers are
feeling little blue over what they regard
as a serious mishap to the growing wheat
crop in some localities. They claim that
the exceedingly hot days Of about two
weeks ago, together with a heavy dew on
the grain, scalded'it, and that the lower
leaves are dead and the plant generally
looking sickly. We cannot but believe
that the damage is overestimated and not
general over our county. The weather
since the hot days spoken of has been
cool and pleasant, just the thing to resus-
citate the sickly grain if that is possible.
Knowing that the natural impulse of the
farmer is, quite unconsciously and with
out design to present the worst side of
the case in such instances, we are fain to
hope and believe that the crop of our
county this year will be all and more than
has been anticipated. 1t is some time to
harvest, and their are many possibilities
between this and that.
PoTATo BUGs-We see an item going
the rounds of our exchanges, that Mrs.
Hinkley who lives in Mitchell county
was terribly poisoned by the virus of po
tato bugs, which she had been killing
with her unprotected hands. For time
she suffered excruciating pains was blind
and was only saved by prompt and active
medical attention. People cannot be too
careful; handle the varmints with the
! tOngs.
Speaking Of potato bugs puts US in
mind of an incident of the editorial ex-
cursion 1t was at Minnehaha. One of
the ladies Of the party very susceptible to
the influences of beautiful nature, was
sitting on bank gazing with rapt de-
light upon the silvery cascade, every sense
saturated in the dreamy, scnsuous infiu
ences of the place, when happening to
look down she bcheld crawling across a fiat
stone at her feet, a miserable, pesky pota
to buy All the romance was gone in an
instant, and she fled, Disguised that even
natures hottest haunts were not sccurt.

THE MAIN ST. BRlDGE-When at the
April session some Of our citizens were
apprehens:ve that the Board Of Super
visors would repudiate the contract en-
tered into by the city, for the repairs on
the bridge, we ventured the prediction
that when the said repairs were finished
and the matter regularly before the Board,
they would not hesitate to assume the
payment of the contract. The result has
proved that the prediction was well
founded The Board at their session this
week, ordered the Auditor to issue war
rants on the Bridge Fund to Mr.. Riseley
to the amount of 81, 37O, the Indebtedness
being represented by city bonds in his
hands, due as follows: June 22d, 1871,
$500; July 22d, 1871, $500; August 22d,
1871, $500; September 22d, 1871, $l7O.
The bids for building abutments and
piers for the new iron bridge to replace
the old structure next year, were opened
Yesterday morning by the Bridge Commit
tee of the Board. They are ten in num-
Der, and range from $3.50 to $3.50 per
cubic yard for granite. Two other bids
were received for limestone, one at 81
and the other at 50 per cubic yard. The
lob has been awarded to one of the gram
lite bidders, but no contract has yet
been signed, and we are not at liberty yet
to give the name of the successful party

THE FOURTH-There has been some
spasmodic efforts looking to preparations
F, for celebration of the Fourth in this
city, but up to the hour of going to press,

could only pump up enthusiasm enough
to start in the matter.

vigorous journalists were not sufficient.

best efforts of our friends and we wish
them the most satisfactory and substan-
tial success in cultivating it.
