this speech may have had at the time of
its delivery, Its reproduction at this time
is ludicrously absurd. The Conseroatjos

Centre Point is just now the recipient
of much of the trade in that sec

grain and buying supplies. Indepon-

result if it were finished and running

tructi0n of Mr. Downs grain stacks by
fire. II now becomes our reluctant duty
to chronicle another and greater loss to
one of our farmers by the same rcmorse-

little before O'Clock, Mir. James Bid
dinger, who lives three fourths Of a mile
north east of Quasqucton, after doing
his chores, locked his barn and left it ap
parcntly secure for the night Shortly
after, it was discovered on fire, and the
flames had made such progress, that all
efforts to savct were futile. Mr..
Biddingcr managed to save his
horses but the barn with its contents
consisting Of 600 bushels of corn, all of
his wheat and oats, new wagon. q bug
gy, grain drill, plows &c, were soon Il
leap of flashes. But for the mere chance that
the wind was blowing quite strong in the
direction Of the fire, his dwelling and
other buildings would have been invol-
we'd in the common ruin. Mr.. Biddinge-s

his loss We sincerely condvlc with him
in this misfortune. We are indebted for
the above items to Mr.. w. E. Parker, who

THE Dubuque Herald is responsible f

THE Dubuque Herald is responsible for
the statement that "Donnan In his own
county of Buchanan was a long way be-
hind his ticket" Let us see. The ag-
grcgate vote for the Republican electors
IN the county was 1877. That for the
Republican candidate for Secretary of
State was 1886 Mr.. Domains vote here
in "his own county Of Euchaaaa" was
1880, exceeding that of Grant, by four,
ard only six under that cast for the State

the Herald not to lie, for falschood is its
stock in trade, but its readers have Il
right to expect more plausible lies than
the above.

drunkenness, and spent the time Of his
incarceration in smashing the elegant

smartly for these ofienses, but without
effect as it seems, for yesterday he came

consequence lodged in the county jail.

A WILD FRESHMAN.
A Race for q Team,

On Saturday last Joseph lie Beau, o
Quasqueton, came to town to transact
business, pending which he hitchcd his
team in front of one Of our business
houses When ready to return, about
o'clock p NJ, he started for his wagon,
arriving just in time to see it start of in
charge of a stranger. He hailed the chap
making SO free with his property, but the
only effect of this was to hasten the de-
parture of team and man, which he saw
going at a spanking pace around the
corner of Chatham ST., toward the depot,
As soon as possible Marshal Handy and
II. Birmingham started in pursuit, and
then commenced race only equalled by
John Gilpin's ride. The unknown bush
wllacker, taking the road toward Buffalo
Grove, drove like Jehu, never letting up
until the team was nearly exhausted
Then unhitching them from the wagon,
he pressed on, and soon coming up with
a man living just beyond Pilot Grove, he
secured seat in his wagon, leading the
horses. Just as they arrived at the
house of the man with whom he was
riding, about 8 P. NJ, the pursuers made
their appearance, and moment after,
Marshal Handy had his hand ON the
shoulder of the bold raider, and discover
ed-as our readers have doubtless sur
miscd-that he was drunk His name is
Peter Devlin, and he is only few
months from the Gould sod" Of Erin
He has relatives in this county, one,
brotherin-Mw, living near where he was
taken with the team. He is vOuched for
by those who know him as ordinarily an
honest, sober lad, but on Saturday he fell
in with some jolly companions, went
through course of mixed liquors, and
in the evening, impressed with the idea
that he ought to have an overcoat, which
was at his brothers, near Pilot Grove,
took the first means of conveyance at
hand and drove over there. He was very
penitent for the offcnsc and ut his own
request the officer took him to Rev. j.
l.. Gosker, who administered to him the
solemn pledge to abstain from liquor for
five years. 1t appearing pretty certain
that Devlin had no intention of stealing
the team, Mr.. lie Beau declined to prose-
cute, and he was let off by paying all
damages and expenses, nearly $50 in all.
