A dairyman by the name Of Jones,
who lives in Lorain Co., Ohio, made q
discovery one day, that promised to
put stop to the annoyance Of cows
switching their tails. at milking time,
as they are wont to do when flies are
plenty. Like all great inventions
this had the merit Of simplicity. 1t
consisted In tying the cows tail to the
mixers boot-strap. It succeeded SO
we'll at first that Mr.. Jones thought he
would get the invention patented and
thereby secure a fortune. But 1.-THE
COW with crumpled horn." finding
the flies were inflicting q personal
injury on her while she was without
her usual means Of defence, suddenly
gave jump, which upset both the
pail and the mixer. A local paper
says At this state of proceedings, the
COW stopped for a moment, but in that
time our hero had gained his feet !; q
moment after he was seen with his
hand on the hip Of the cow making
the tour Of the farm yard with prodi-
gious hops upon one foot, the other
being suspended by the boot strap
which was still attached to the cows
tail. At every hop he would calculate
$50 boss, SO boss" but boss" didn't

up, the boot attachment suddenly
broke, and Mr.. Jones was free. He
returned to the house wiser II not q
sadder man, and SO far as we know

Sunday mornings State Register
announces that the returns from the
several counties in that Congressional
district, which held primary elections
on Saturday, leave no doubt of the re-
nomination Of Hon. Frank Palmer.
We are both glad that that battle is
over and that its result IL - stated.
The Kaseon faction have made the
worst kind of q fight that is possible
to the political arena, which is saying
q good deal. 1t has used misrepresen-
tation, personal abuse in fact every.
thing, without regard to truth or de-
cency, has been attempted which it
was thought could injure Mr.. Palmer
and his friends. We are glad the ef-
fort has been defeated, not only on
account of its character, but also in
the belief that Mr.. Palmer is the bet
ter and ADLER representative Of our
State in the National Councils.

The following question was recently
asked Gen. Wilson, State Sec'y Of the
order, and his reply is also given:
"CAn three or four Changes be profit

area of six miles square and that
thiniy settled 2"
We have always held, as q general
rule, that Oranges Of about fifty MEM
beers should be the highest limit, and
become more satisfied that this posi-
ton Is correct from the experience we
have had OF the workings Of the Order
thus far In this State. A less number,
also, In many cases would be better,
rather than larger one, especially
where members have TO travel over
three miles to attend the meetings.
When members live over three miles
from the place Of meeting irregular
attendance 10 apt to be the result.
The life Of the Order ID dependent upon
the regular and prompt attendance Of

The telegraph brings the intelligence
of the sudden death. from apoplexy,
of the celebrated Mexican general and
ruler, Benito Juarez, at the city Of
Mexico, on the 18th ult., ct the age Of
seventy years. He was of pure Indian
blood, and was born at the village Of
Ixtlan, near Oaxaca. He was educat.
ed in the college of that city, from
which he graduated at the age OF
twenty-eight. After being elected .
member of several learned societies,
and appointed to many positions of
trust, he served as member of the
State Legislature, and was then elected
governor for four consecutive years.
He was banished by Santa Anna in
1853, and for two years resided In
Havana and New Orleans. He eubse-
quentDy returned, and In turn filled
the Office of Secretary of State, Chief
of the High Court of Justice, and
President of the Republic.

Now that the political lines are being
more and more closely drawan, the
fact is becoming proportionally appa-
rent that the bolt from the Republican
ranks in favor Of Greeley has nothing
such proportions as have been claimed
for 1t, and further than this, that the
number of Democrats who prefer
Grant to Greeley will fully counter
poise the former Republicans who
now advocate the election of the latter.
This has been developed wherever a
thorough canvass has been reported.
For instance, in Franklin township,
Linn Co., the Grant and Wilson Club
has 10 more members than it cast Re-
publican votes at the last election, the
list including the names of many for
mer Democrats.

A Call.

To the School Boards and Patrons OF
Schools Of Cedar Cbunty..
Believing the efficiency of the
schools Of Cedar County is seriously
impaired by the great diversity OF text
books now in use, we should deem
it our duty, If possible, to remedy the
evil, and for this purpose have adop-
ted the following plan:
That the school Board of each
Township District and Independent
District In the County select two dele
gates to meet in Upton for the purpose
Of examining the different text books
now published and adopt such books
as they may deem the most desirable
Is series for uniform use. which Sc
ries shall be adopted by the different
School Boards throughout the county.
As books are needed they can be Sc
lected from tina uniform series. thus
making the introduction gradual.
The introduction price Of nearly all
the text books IL much less than the
retail price, 30 that . uniform series
can be established at less cost than a
continuation Of the present custom Of
purchasing books.
IfScbool Boards fail to elect dele
gates / would suggest that the presi-
dent and secretary Of such board be
considered as delegates and attend the
rs such.
Therefore would respectfully re-
quest the School Boards throughout
the county to select two delegates to
meet in convention ut the Court House
at Upton, at one o'clock r. NJ. on the
first Monday Of September, 1872. for
the purpose Of selecting uniform
series Of text books, and to recommend
their adoption by the several School
Boards Of the county.
have taken this step at the sug-
gestion and request of some Of our
best citizens, and hope that patrons of
schools will urge the boards to prompt
action and that every school board In
the county will be represented.

Conversational Convention.
The Twins at Des Moines.

According to programme, the twin
Conventions convened at Des Moines
upon Wednesday of last week. They
do not seem to have had q remarkably
gushing" time, although everything
went off according to the pre-arranged
plan of clasped hands and arm-in-arm
fraternity.
The Democratic Convention was
called to order for business on Thurs
day, and the preliminaries having
been fully arranged the day before, 1t
united with its weak little relative, The
Liberal Convention, in speedy and
harmonious action. Both Conven-
tions promptly adopted the report of
the committee of COME renee, which
puts in the field the following ID. V.
ticket: For electors at large, Gen.
Fitz Henry Warren, of Des Moines;
II. B. Foulke, of Dubuque Secretary
Of State, DIR. Z. A. Guilbert, of Dubu-
que; Treasurer, NJ. J. Rholfe; Audit.
or, J. p. Cassidy: Attorney General,
A. G. Case; Register of Land Office,
Capt. Jacob Butler. One of the elec-
tors, Gen. Warren, has the credit of
being Republican, though for some
years he has been like the Indians
white man, very uncertain :" Mr..
Foulke is q Democrat as are also
Messrs. Chase, Cassidy and Guilbert,
Butler and Rholfe passing for Repub-
licans, though the latter has been .
frequent bolter.
The resolutions passed by each con-
vention were brief simply endorsing |
the Greeley and Brown movement |
and pledging support to the candidates |
just put in the field-neither seemed |
to dare to introd uce anything specific |
for fear of treadin 6 upon the toes Of
the other.
Eighty-two counties were reported
as represented in the Democratic Con-
vention, and fifty-five in the Liberal.
Plenty of speeches were INDUCED in,
by which, together with music and
torch lights, the attempt to make
show of enthusiasm was supported
but spectators could see the attempt
more plainly than the enthusiasm.

fishes the fact that no patent is held

ing harrows and setting the teeth

in regard to the Thomas patent, and
the answer concludes as follows
Simply changing the degree Of angle
is not such new and useful invention
a. the patent law desires to protect.
Mr.. Thomas has protection for his
particular form of harrow, but his
claim, so far rs 1t relates to inclined

mite to prevent others from setting
harrow-teeth slanting in common
harrows."
