A woman who gave her name AZ

she acted rather strangely she Was
watched by { couple of boys, who sds.
tected her in an attempt to abandon
'the, child. She left it on the door. stet
of Mrs. Ogden's residence and made
tracks for the depot. The matter was
reported to Marshals Gray and Wood
who tookscharge of it, hunted up til
unnaturai mether. aud persuaded hel
to again take charge Of it. She told
various stories about the matter, hui
finally made a clean breast of il with
the usual sequal. She was poor girl

only six weeks old. M
People needn't think because Sher.

care of an abandoned baby, that every
body else in Ottumwa wants one.-
They generallyhave as many as they
want of their own. But if Mrs. Og.

Yesterday, 10Th inst, the Hon. VIM.
b. Allison, Gov. G. C. Carpenter and
Alex. Clark, Esq, of Muscatinc, were
all promptly on hand, and the ball
opened at 2 O'Clock, in Taylor's Hall.
Mr.. Clark spoke first for some half
hour, in fluent and able manner, to
the entire satisfaction of his auditors.
lie was followed by Mr.. Allison in an
hour and halls speech that at once
placed Mr.. Allison, with our people, in
the forefront of Iowa's logical, clear
and effective speakers upon the stump.
1t is not our purpose to follow him or
the other speakers in their line of ar
guRent. We have only to say that
Mr.. Allison spoke with case and fluen-
cy, and in a clear, dispassionate man.
ner, carrying conviction to his hearers.
We have heard nothing but universal
/. commentator of his speech from both
friends and foes.a The afternoon
audience numbered about three hund-
red; and while it was not so large as
we could have wished, it was by far
the largest day meeting we have seen
in our city for years. 1t was in strik-
ing contrast with an attempt of the op-
position last week to get q day meet
ing, in the same Hall, to hear Mr..
Fouke, when but nineteen men. all
told, were all that could be mustered.
The meeting continued up to 5 O'Clock,
p. M, when 1t adjourned, amid great
enthusiasm, for the evening meeting.
At Z o'clock, precisely the thunder
ing of our six-pounder, the recent pur-
chase of the Grant & Wilson Club, and
the glare ofthe torches of ouryTanners
aroused Our people to the evening ex-
ercises: and Taylor's Hall was crowd
ed to overflowing, with mixed audi
ence of ladies and gentlemen to the
number of eight hundred. Enthusi-
asm blu billed over upon the streets,
and our city presented most lively
scene of hustle and activity. This en-
thusiasm, transferred to the Hall, car
ried the speakers forward in strain
OF logic and eloqnence that made the
old Democracy shake, and its knees to
tremble like those of Belteshazzar when
he saw, as Democrats now see, the
handwriting upon the wall.
Gov. Carpenter spoke for an hour
and a quarter, in the use of his usual
slcdge hammer logic, holding his au-
dience in close attention, save now and
then, when his telling hits brought
down the house in storms of applause.
lie was followed by Mr.. Clark for half
and hour, in humorous vein, and the
audience, from time to time, showed
their appreciation of the good points
made by the colored orator, in rounds
of applause.
As many were out in the evening
who had not attended the afternoon
meeting, they would not be content
without few words from Mr.. Allison.
He was, therefore, vociferonsly called
for, and Notwithstanding the lateness
of the hour, he fifty closed the meet
ing ina few well chosen and encourage
ing remarks.
1t was grand old day for Republics
