The BANp.-our reconstructed city
band WAS out scren,ding Tuesday night,
and played remarkably well considering
the short time which some of the men
hcrs have been practicing. The band is

count of itself in the future. The boys
should receive hearty encouragement
from our citizens

EARLY CoRN.-Mr. Erasmus Frzellc
showed US the other day some fine ears
of Dalton corn perfectly ripe, hard and
sound the cob ten inches long and filed
to the very top, which he gathered just
SO days from the time the seed was plan
ted. We call that pretty fast time for
field corn in Northern Iowa, and do not
think that our neighbors can trot out
anything that will beat it much.

JOttings from Buffalo Township.

AUGUST s, 1871.
Harvesting nearly all over; several
have threshed. SO far as l have heard,
grain turns out very well Wheat turns
from 10 to 20 bushels per acre, and some
pieces run little over the last figures.
Corn is looking better since the shower
of the ID inst.
VIM. Castle and ID. Dudley have re-
turned from trip out west, where they
have been preparing winter quarters for
themselves and families. They intend to
start for their new quarters in about two
weeks. They are both among the first
settlers of Buffalo Township. but our
town is getting too thickiy settled for
these pioneering individuals We wish
them long lives and hope they may get
piles Of the filthy lucrc while settling up
our western counties.
A young man riding along the streets,
a few days ago, was asked why he was
not working in the harvest field. His
reply was that he was looking up some
one to marry him, but could not find any
one to do the job. That young man can
not have much of the root of all evil or
some Rev. or Esq. would help him out Of
that awful fix. into y worse one, perhaps.
DR. Potwin has purchased Mr. Fuking
sons farm for $1,000. We are glad the
Doctor has concluded to stay in these
parts.
During the wind and thunder storm
yesterday afternoon, the lightning struck
a shock of wheat on the farm Of Joseph
Welsh. Some Of the neighbors thought
Mr. w. had concluded to burn his crop
to save stacking. The stubble being
damp saved the rest of the grain in the
field l. L. ITERATI

MORE CANDIDATEs-By announcement
in another column it will be seen that oul
townsman, l.. J. Curtis, is fairly on the
ticket for nomination as Representative
Mr.. Curtis is man of ability and integ
rity, and if elected would fairly reflect the
Republican sentiment of the county, ex-
cept. possibly, on the question OF U. 5.
Senator. We have no authoritative in
dcation of his views on that point.
Henry Blank, Of Middlcfield, is also
announced as a candidate for Auditor
We know Mr.. Blank as staunch Repub-
lican but are not acquainted with his
qualifications for the place indicated.

The Lawrence Case.

Monday and Tuesday Of this week was occu-
pied by the hearing before Mr.. Justice Hartwcll,
sitting as a committing justice, the charge of
8 gross cheat, - preferred against A. j. Lawrence,
Esq, to which we referred last week. The case
was presented by the Attorney General for the
Crown, with all the energy and faithfulness with
which that officer invariably discharges his duty.
The witnesses, who had been brought from La
haina, were subjected to a most careful and
searching examination, and the documentary evil
dence in the case was submitted. At the close on
Tuesday, the Judge took the case under advise
ment. and on Wednesday morning at 10 O'Clock,
on the re-assembling of the Court, informed the
parties that from the conflicting nature of the
evidence he was unable to arrive at an intelligent
or satisfactory conclusion az to the actual truth
or falsity Of the charge that the defendant had
obtained a conveyance of a certain property by
fraud, and that, desiring to hear the testimony of
other parties who were absent, and who might
possibly throw farther light on the subject, he
would fix another hearing for Saturday, (to-day).
While the Court in this instance has displayed
a just solicitude that the complaint of an ignorant
native that he had been defrauded by an acute
foreigner, should be thoroughly siited, a very
general feeling of surprise has been expressed
that a charge of so grave a character should have
been brought by the prosecution on such doubtful
grounds as so far appears to have existed. We
believe that we are safe in saying, that in
ordinary practice, in a preliminary examination
before a committing magistrate, where the evil
dence as presented by the prosecution does not
warrant the justice in believing that a jury,
na7ing the same evidence before them would
canvict, the rule is to discharge. The late case
OF alleged receiving stolen whalebone, in the
Police Court of Honolulu, is one in point. How
ever, the principle is doubtless very properly
maintained by our Judges, that the greatest pos
sible amount of latitude sho6ld be allowed when
the party complaining is a native as against a
foreigner, and the prosecution, for any reason,
fails to make out a clear case. Farther comment is
precluded until the question of committa or dis
charge is decided.
