/ II have seen the Empress with white
straw, trimmed very plainly in, blue. Her
dress was also Of blue, with black lace
shawl. On another occasion she wore black
Neapoiitan braid, trimmed with white lace.
This was worn with purple dress and black

APrEAL FOR MERCY.

i, In answer to the formal question from the
clerk of what he hid to say Why sentence
should not be passed upon him, Aiken rose.
and amid breathIess attention proceeded to
tell what had led him to the crime and to ask
for mercy. Long before he concluded his
appeal men were seen to wipe their eyes
even the District Attorney was affected, land
finally the prisoner himself broke down, cX-
pressing repentance for what he had done,
and hoping TO lead an honest life in the flu
turp. lie said he knc W that his punishment
was deserved, hut asked for mercy for tht
sake of hi, little ones, while, admitting that
he should have thought OF them before. He
had always been an honest man until he gave
way to the temptation TO gamble, and he
prayed that it might be warning to him.
He had never used violence III bis crimes,
had never even carried a weapon. and with
voice quivering with emotion confessed hi-
sorrow for his eYi-doing and anxiety 10 make
atonement. He finally broke down in pa
| thetic appeal for mercy, by which time there
was hardly dry eye iii the courtroom.

A Noble Benefaction.

The Trustees of the Louisville Med
ical College, louisville, Ky.) have
created one of the most liberal bene.
factions ever conferred by apublic In
stitution. They have instituted one
Beneficiary scholarship for each Con-
gressional District in all the States.
BY this means very many poor but
deserving young men will be enabled
to obtain . thorough medical educa-
ton. Any one wishing to take advan-
tage Of this benefaction should write
to DR.. Z. s. Gaillard, Dean of the fac
ulty Of the Louisville Medical College,
Louisville, KY, when he will receive
. college catalogue with full informa-
ton in regard 70 all that IL necessary
for him to do to secure one of these
scholarships. With proper delicacy
the names Of those who have secured
the Beneficiary Scholarships will be
known only to the Dean OF the Fac
ulty.
In accordance with the old Hippo
cratic oath, forbidding physicians to
charge the families Of each other for
services rendered, the Faculty of this
College will make no charge for teach
ing sons Of physicians, and as no ply
stefan charges . clergyman's family,
the sons Of clergymen with receive the
same privilege. The next College SEES
sion begins October LIST, 1872. As the
lecture fees charged for each student
who has not obtained q Beneficiary
Scholarship, amount to $3.50 annually,
the public can appreciate the extent Of
this benefaction.

Harvest hands are plenty here, and

A sad accident occurred Z few
miles north Of this place. Two young
men by the name Of Clark and Cham
berlain, were removing the brick
out of a well when it caved in upon
them. They were almost immedi-
ately killed. They were buried on
Saturday, the 10Th inst.
The colored gentlemen had very
nice picnic picnic near this place last
week. There were . good many
present of both colors. The place
chosen by them was q shady spot in
Mr.. Nelson Davis pasture, about one
mile southeast Of town. Mr.. Clark,
from Muscatine, delivered . very
good GRAFTON. They wanted to raise
money to pay for church, but l did

Since farmers commenced having

quiet here. Hay and grain coming
in very we'll James Cook threshed
his barley this week.
The weather continued fine and
for day or two quite cool until to-
day; now we are enjoying 60 one of
the finest rain storms Of the season.
No doubt but what it will do corn

Our mill was raised Thursday,
and now we are certain we will get
what we have so long needed
good grist mill.
The persons who were poisoned
last week are all getting well. We
presume they at least will be cautious
in the future.
There is no doubt but that Gree
ley has many friends about here. 1t
seems strange that lifelong Repub-
lican can vote for Fl. G. when they
can see plainly that they are contrib
uting to Democratic victory. 1t is
plain enough to see why Democrats
win vote the Liberal ticket, but why
Republican can is y conundrum hard
to guess. One good sign we notice
few months since more New York

Greeley and Q Democratic
Congress.

Judge H. D. d. Twiggs, of Geor-
gia, has written letter urging the
Democrats of his State to vote for
Greeley. Incautiously he exposes
much Of the plot in this paragraph
"Even admitting, for the sake Of argu-
ment, that the Administration Of
Greeley would be characterized by
bad faith and per6dy to the platform
of principles adopted at Cincinnati,
remember that the election Of Horace
Greeley necessarily involves also the
election Of a Democratic majority Of
Congress-. and to use the language Of
a distinguished orator who recently
discussed this question, this in itself
is well worth the sacrifice. OF course
a President is utterly powerless with
out the aid and cooperation Of Con-
gress, and Horace Greeley, if elected,
and was disposed to stultify himself,
would be as impotent to do harm to
the country as was Andrew Johnson
to do good during his late Admins
tration. Are there any citizens Of
Washington county who would not
prefer Greeley and a Democratic Con-
gress to Grant and a Republican
Congress? Let those who do not re-
gard Greeley as choice Of evils an
swer this question"

10 the School Boards and Patrons
Of Schools Of Cedar County:
Believing the efficiency of the
schools OF Cedar County ID seriously
impaired by the great diversity of text
books now In use, we should deem
It our duty, II possible. to remedy the
evil, and for this purpose I 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
- they may deem the most desirable
- series for uniform use, which &C.
ries shall be adopted by the different
School Boards throughout the county.
Az books are needed they can be Sc
lected from the uniform series, thus
making the introduction gradual.
The introduction price Of nearly all
the text books IL much less than the
retail price, 90 that q uniform series
can be established at less cost than .
continuation Of the present custom Of
purchasing books.
II School Boards fail to elect dele
gates would suggest that the presi-
dent and secretary Of such board be
considered as delegates and attend the
convention - such.
Therefore would respectfully re-
quest the School Boards throughout
the county to select two delegates to
meet in convention at the Court House
ut Upton. at one o'clock p. NJ, on the
first Monday Of September, 1872, for
the purpose Of selecting q 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 aud that every school
board in the county will be repre-
sented. G. w. ROLLINS,
Co. Supt.
