MARYsvILLE, Iowa, june 10Th.
Editors CouRIER:
This village is one of the smallest in
the county, containing a neat looking
church, store, blacksmith shop and
about a dozen dwelling houses. The
country around is good, many excel
lent farmers living in the vicinity.
Here as also at Bladensburg and Bata-
via, the Changers are lively and conf
dent Of reaping benefit from the or
ganizatioa. II they can better them
selves pecuniarily, socially, intellectu-
ally oragriculturally, l say success to
them. BY the way Batavia il town
Of considerable Importance, in the way
of shipping grain and stock, and sell
ing goods. Abingdon Is another town
where considerable trading is done. A
close observer cannot help noticing
that q sensible portion Of the retail
trade is being gradually drawn from
Ottunlwa, to the country towns around
II. Where there is competition for the
trade, (and it should DO SO whore there
is none,) goods are sold as low OF
lower than in.Ottumwa. The reasons
are very obvious: low rents, no deliv.
| cries and more inexpensive style o.
living generally.
Politically, one cannot help noticing
not only the lack Of anything like en-
thusiasm for Horace Greeley, but tn,
! entire refusal on the part VI the farm
ers to, swallow him. Perhaps, ii til
Baltimore Democratic Candidate Man
ufacturing Co, succeed in getting o.
, Horxce's platform, or in getting hin
on theirs part Of the Democrat,
from sheer force of habit, may succee
In getting him down, because the
have been in the habit Of voting 70
the nominee Of the party. But yer
many say that they will not vote ut Al
unless something else is trotted on
, And right here might mention Tbs

VINO WROTE LAsT.-A singular case
concerning A single stroke Of pen, is
in the hands Of a Des Moines attorney,
Ono Copeland, q iefaulter to the
Northwestern Insurance Company,
drew draft for 10000, about the
time that he absconded, on an agent
Of the Company. The agent claimed
that the amount Of the dlaft had been
altered. Now the question is, who did
it? The sum was written on the draft
and larger amount than th4t origi-
nally specified is also written on the
same place. Now il the larger amount
was written last the agent is not liable
for the amount. The defense ID that
this is, the fact. Magnifying glasses
Of great power have been placed over
the writing, and the proof appears to
be plain that the defense is good

The SORE THROAT. OF CoNsUMPr1yEs.-
The hoarseness and sore throat peculiar to
some kinds of consum ption is one thing, while
that incident to slight cold or obstruction is
another; the first named is for the most part
dangerous, and is the product of a fearful and
widespread disease; whilst the latter, being
merely an obstruction, can be removed by a
fewdoses of medicine OF deobstruent properties.
One need hardly be mistaken for,the other. a.
the great constitutional disturbance in that, of
consumptiye person will readily distinguish
them, 1t would be the part of wisdom, how
ever, to treat them both when they are first,
perceptible, as great deal is gained in taking
the vantage ground in all such cases. DR..
KEYsER's GREAT LUNG CURE will remove
in day or two the simple form of disease :;
whilst the seyerer malady will take weeks or
months before it can be eradicated and heal,
thy condition established. Dr. Keyser' trea.
tise, which will be sent free of cost, wherever
it is wanted, will explain more fully the meth>
cd of action of the medicine. Price 81. so per

BEAUTIFUL WoMAN-The hair is the
GROWING glory of woman. There are few
moderate defects which cannot be remedied
by the proper disposition of the tresses But
when the hair begins to fall out, or turn gray,
in young people, or with those in the prime
of life, there is cause for real regret. When
this is the case, Halls Vegetable ..Sici7ian
Hair Renewer will be found to be first>class
remedy, far superior, as sound medical me-
dunn, to any thing else before the public. It
actually restores gray hair to its original color,
aud in the great majority of cases, causes it to
grow again when tits becoming thin. 1t is
not like many popular preparations, a mere
wash, bu. scientific discovery, Endorsed and
used by physicians of character Address r.

Es' Senate bill No 6S, entitled s.a bill
providing fer certain publications for the
benefit of the people" has been passed by that
body and is now before the House of Dele~
gates. We have not seen the bill itself, but
believe that it requires notices of Sheriff's
sales, sales Of deiquent lands, &C., to be pub
lished in the newspapers of the county. 1t
certainly ought to become law. The old
practice of posting everything of this kind at
the Court House door is away behind the
times and no longer gives to these matters the
desired publicity. It used to answer tolerably
we'll when every voter in the country had to
go to the Court House to vote, but even then
the information did not reach as many persons
as county newspaper does. AT present, the
door of the Court House is not seen once in
the year by one out of every ten citizens of
the county, and the posting of notice there
to give it publicity is utterly absurd. We
hope the House of Delegates will pass the
BILL Wheeling Register 23
