a GENTLE REBukE.

A lady riding in car on the New
York Central railroad, was disturbed
in her reading by the conversation
oftwo gentlemen occupying the seat
just before her. One of them seemed

He used much protame language,
greatly to the annoyance of the Ia

him, and begging pardon for in
terrupting them, asked the student
if he had studied the languages.

The Ottumwa Democrat thus calls
the roll of the leading Iowa Demo.
Gratis who take Greeley in theirs "In
this State the Democratic papers
will all endorse Greeley with two or
three exceptions. Such noted and
trusted leaders as Gen. A. G. Dodge,
Col. Gillaspy, Chas. Mason, Judge
Knapp, Henry Clay Dean, Judge
Claggett, Judge Casey, Judge Love,
Judge Hendershott, ID. A. Mahony,
w. T. Smith, and Geo. w. Jones
are all for Greeley" Republicans
wishing to join in with this crew can
leave their names with Mahoney or
Jones, who were spies in the rear
during the war, or with Dean, who
announced directly after the war,
that one desire of his heart was to
go through the North and battering
down the grave-stones over every
union soldier killed in the army, and
put in jail or pOor-house all the
crippled Union soldiers. This is
what Dean wanted to do about the
time that Greeley rushed down to
Fortress Monroe to get the areh-trait-
or out of prison. OF course the,man
who wanted to make the wound OF
Union soldier crime, and imprison
him for it, is just the person to sup
port the man who strained such a
point to get the greatest of all trait
ors out of prison. There as fitness,
after all, in Deans supporting Gree

The Ravenna Democrat says:
"There is not the least foundation
for the statement that Ohio will 90

possibility. As friend just said,
'the people of Ohio have been too.
well raised There are no Greeley
shouters in Ohio. There are no
newspapers in Ohio that adhere to
Greeley. Up here, in Northern Ohio
the people have seen Horace Gree
ley go to sleep in gentleman's house
in Akron, at reception given in his
honor, and thousands from all the
region round about saw and heard
him at Garrettsyille and Cleveland.
Before he was seen or heard, there
was the charm about the name of
Horace Greeley that distance lends,
but that charm was cruelty dispelled.
He came; he was seen, and it was
all over with poor Horace Greeley.
There will naver be any enthusiasm
for him in this section, no matter
what happens at Philadelphia or
Baltimore. ~ - %

Wendell Phillips, in an interview
day or two ago, said:
"YOu are aware that l am neither

against Greeley, / am for Grant.
We have had one Andy Johnson; l
will not run the risk of getting anoth-
er in Horace Greeley. l want man

slider Greeley secession candidate.
| believe the plot TO nominate him
was Matched by the Southern white
rebels more than year ago, and has
been mainly nursed by them. l ad-
wise any one who means to vote for
him, to find out first what arrange
ments has been made by Greeley's
triepds with JEFF. Davis and his staff
as to office and patronage. l am
perfectly certain that there is q dis
tinct understanding, if not positive
contract between them. IF Horace
Greeley enters the White House,
jeff Davis will be as truly a part of
the administration~as Seward was in
Line oln's day. No negro can vote
for Greeley who values his life OF
property, or cares for his race. Ii
by the frown of Providence he is
elected, let the negroes live in squads
of fifty whom no coward will dare to
shoot down, and show no property.
After sunset, lonely men will be
shot, and no black man will own a
mule forty-eight hours if any rebel
knows the fact.'' ....

Rich and fertile as are the lands of
Iowa from river to river, Northern
lines to Southern limits, II is reserved
by the central southern portion to
be designated az the garden of the
State.' And OF this favored circle
OF counties, it is likewise famous for
Its immense mines Of coal, the deep
veins of which underly the whole
surface. In depth and fertility of
soil, surface, drainage, and water it
is particularly adapted to farming,
and taking with its mining interests,
and agricultural advantages, it ranks
high among the other counties in
the State in material wealth.
The county was organized about
1843, and no better index of its rap
id growth can be given than the last
census which gives the number of
inhabitants at nearly $4,000, and the
next U. S. census will show, it is
safe to prophesy nearly double that
number. From these facts we be-
lieve that a brief sketch from one of
the richest counties of the State will
be of interest to our readers. Par
ticularly description Of Oskaloosa,
the county seat and chief town Of the
county and its surroundings:
. LAND, PRICES, AND QUALITY.
Although the days of pre-empting
lands and obtaining farms for a mere
ly nominal sum is past, there is an
increasing tendency among capital
lists TO invest in land. Late invest
ments have proven that the only in
vestment that is certain is in lands,
either for the purpose of immediate
settlement and cultivation, or in lar
ger quantities for the purpose of
speculation, we feel safe TO say that
from the abundance of coal and rich
ness of soil, that as the country de-
velops will advance in price, there
is no place to do better than in Ma
haska county. TIE county contains
about 100000 acres Of choice lands,
the most of which is available and
choice farming lands, the unimproved
equaling the improved in richness.
The surface is rolling, and in some
places quite abrupt. The terms of
sale varies in different portions, ac-
cording to location and Improvement,
the prices ranging from $40 to $50
per acre, and higher.
The weekly Oskaloosa herald. [volume] (Oskaloosa, Iowa) 1855-1885, 1872-06-27
PRODUCTS.

The soil of this county is the rich
prairie loan, underlayed with a sub
stratum of clay. This affords fine
drainage, and heavy rains do not
deter cultivation; and yet it is one
of the best soils in the world to
withstand the drouth. Wheat, Oats,
Corn, potatoes and barley flourish in
the greatest protusion, and crops
famous for tEeir heaviness are pro-
duced. No better corn land is found
in the world, and the crop never
fails, We can conceive of no more
productive lands than these. No
floods or rains destroy the harvest,
and one unceasing, Dountiful return
rewards the farmers toll.

THE COUNTY SEAT.

We have already mentioned the
date of the organization of the coun-
ty and the laying out and locating of
Oskaloosa as the county seat, which
it has ever since been Although
the chief town of the county lies
rather south of the geographical CEN
tire, it has its advantages as a rail
road and shipping point, and com
mands the trade of a large and rich
section OF the country. In no better
way can we give an idea of the rap
id growth and Importance of Mahas-
ka county than by sketch of its
shire town a.,n# fr f.s.
The weekly Oskaloosa herald. [volume] (Oskaloosa, Iowa) 1855-1885, 1872-06-27
BUILDING MATERIAL.

In locating in section of country
the abundance and cheapness of
building material is one of the first
considerations. While there are no
famous quarries in Mahaska county,
there is stone and timber enough to
answer all purposes for foundations,
&c. Brick clay abounds and its
manufacture into brick promises to
be an important branch Of industry.
The weekly Oskaloosa herald. [volume] (Oskaloosa, Iowa) 1855-1885, 1872-06-27
TAXES.

Mahaska is particularly favored aa
regards low taxes. No building of
public buildings or railroad tax swell
the burden. Iowa is noted az hay
ing no county or State debt, and as
consequence State taxes are low;
and with no local burdens, this is
one Of the most favorable counties
in the State. a..--.

Mahaska county, particularly in
the vicinity of Oskaloosa, has some
of the largest coal mines in the State,
and on all sides the windlass and
hosting apparatus mark the opening
of mine. Down near the station
on the d. V. r. r., are the largest
coal mines that are now being work
ed. This abundance and cheapness
Of the best of fuel must go far toward
the development and fostering of
manufactures and business enter
prise. Few counties are SO richly
favored in this respect. Over $1,000
900 bushels were mined last year.

0SKALOoSA.

This town, all things considered,
is perhaps one of the finest in the
State of its size. Located in the ear
ly days of '43, and Incorporated as a
town in 1852, its growth has been
sure and steady, until now itnumbers
some six thousand people. Located
on the ssdivide" between the Des
Moines and Skunk rivers, "a miles
north of the b. 81 Nj. II. r., and on
the line of the G. r. of |. and ID. V.
railroads, with no large town nearer
than ~ miles, SO that unlike many
railroad towns, Oskaloosa has no
rival and is the centre of trade for a
rich tract of country, and this is one
of the causes of its wonderful and
substantial growth. It is now the
leading place of Importance between
Mason City and the State line on the
south, having ,ver seyenty-fiVe bust

EARLY SETTLEMENT.

The site of the town was settled
principally by members OF the Soei-
ETY. OF Friends, who came in numbers
in the days of the early location of
the town. The first female resident
