Too BAD.-Oar neighbors at Fair
field made a most herculean effort
and obtained the G. 4 s. w. r. r
for which those contributing stock
gave their notes, which notes they
almost to q man have refused to pay,
and having been sued on them the
Courts have decided they nust pay.
But this is not all. The managers Of
the road entirely ignore tho exis-
tence of Fairfield on their railroad
maps and put ottumwa on!them Us q
point on tho G. h 8. w.
This is really too bad. after having
to pay for the road they ought to
have the credit of at least being .
way station on it.
The B. & NJ. r. r. also cuts Fair.
Geld, while they put Whitfield and
Glendale down as prominent points
and don't show that Fairfield is on
the road at all. The Ledger says:
On the map Of the B. 4 NJ. r. r.
Fairfield is entirely ignored, while
the stations of Glendale and Whit.
field are given. The map of the G.
Il 8. w. X. r. 10 moro grossly incor-
rect. The route of the road is from
Washington 10 Ottumwa, thus en-
tirely ignoring the fact that Fairfield
is on the road at all, and placing it
25 miles farther West, and to
. point that the road does no,
touch. The publishers Of the Guide
have had their attention called to
these inaccuracies, and reply that
their maps are furnished by the rail
roads.

From the Berlin tWis.) Journal.

EOiu tne beIIlu Nv Joufnhk.
On Friday last gentleman who
resides in this city related 10 us a
strange story ofsuperstition md bar
barity which ho claimed had hap.
pened in this city recently.
About the LIST Of December or las,
of November, a young Polish woman
gave birth to q child. About two
days aftcrward she died and was bu-
ried in the city cemetery. After
about five weeks the wife OF the
brother of the dead woman was TAX
en- very sick and it was thought she
would die.
ltappears that there is supersti-
tious idea among the Polauders that
If one of the family dies, unless the
head of the corpse is cut off, the
whole family will be likely to follow
in rapid succession. However, if at.
ter one has died, another is taken
sick, some of the blood is proc1red
from the dead body and administered
to the patient, he will recover.
In accordance with this supersti-
tion, our informant alleges, the hus.
band of the sick woman went
to the buryiDg ground on the night
| of January Cd, five weeks after in
terment, dug up the body, and took
from il blood and other liquid which
he administered TO his wife Us y med.
iciue. That shortly after this the
sick woman's malady assumed tho
form Of small pox, from which she re-
covered, and is now entirely well.
Our informant claimed that many
witnesses could be brought to zorro.
| borate this story.

Elsewhere in our columns will be
seen an extract from the Spirit Of
shs West announcing in very favora-
bio terms tho name of Josiah T.
Young as a candidate for Secretary
tof State. We heartily second the
kind words Of the Spirit, and say Of
him that he was for three years the
comrade in arms of both the editors
of the CouaIsa, wa AL being men,
bers of the same regiment. Mr..
Young carried his musket for those
three years faithfully, nobly and
we'll, being as reliable always and
everywhere az any man who ever
wore the army blue.
Returning to his homo in Alb,a,
Monroe county, he was soon elected
Clerk Of the Court, which officc he
dlls with great satisfaction and is
now upon his third term
Mr.. Young is in the full vigor and
prime of life, is an excellent account
ant and pensman, Industrious and
accurate ip his business habits, a
most genial gentleman, the very
soul of honor and of sound practical
judgment.
As his regiment was raised in this
and the adjoining counties Of Appa.
moose aud Monroe, he has host ct
army friends in this section who will
urge his claims. Here is our hand
Josiah; in times Of trial we stood to.
gether, we cannot separate now.

A Good Nomiuation.

Cen. VIM. Vandever served two
terms in Congress from Dubuque
with uncommon credit, and later
went up from the CoIonclcy of the
esh Iowa to Major Generalcy.
Since the close Of the war he has
been indefatigably devoted to the
public veal in the development of
the railroad and manufacturing in
stitutions Of that city, until to-day it
10 the growingcst sity in Iowa. He
has been nominated for the lcgisla.
ture to fill the vacancy created BY
the death Of Martin Kaier, who died
on account of having had his hands
frozen.
Being such an invaluable and pub
lic spirited citizen, we suppose th,
stol,d thousand democratic majorit,
IN that county will proceed forth
with to defeat him.

The dwellers in q sprightly Kan
sas village called Grasshopper Falls,
having smitated the classic jumper
who landed in q bramble bush, now
yearn for . less animated name and
yet their yearniDgs are mingled with
tremblings, lest in changing they
may be as unfortunate as they were
q few years since. Nine years ago
they induced the Legislature to be.
stow upon them the aristocratic
name Of Sautrelle. Their happiness
was speedily succeeded by mortifica.
tioD, for the new title was soon de.
graded to Snowfall" and ere long
lettes came to them addressed with
disgusting perversion. The neg,
Legislature, urged to prompt action
by the villagers, restored the origi
nal Grasshopper.

the Kansas river on o ferry boat,
when the tcrrible accident occurred
which resulted in the death of the

The party were seated in wagon
