NEIGHBORING COUNTIES.

| MoNRoE.-The onion thinks the
time for the County Fair Sept 81 will
be changed, as it comes at the time
set for the State Fair.
| MAHAsKA.-The Herald earnestly
hopes that Gov. Carpenter will APP
point Hon. NJ. Z. Cuts of Oskaloosa
Atty Gen'l in place of O'Connor, re-
signed; and we feel sure he could not
do better. The Herald says: "Last
/ Monday morning about 6 o'clock a
fellow stole a horse near Pella The
owner followed. caught him near
| Eddyville, arrested him, and at s
O'Clock Monday night had him safely
lodged in the Jail in this city; at o
O'Clock next morning he was before
the Grand Jury. Pretty quick work
that. "--The Leader has enlarged to
six column quarto size, and is talking
up Oskaloosa's Raillo d needs and OPP
portunities very earnestly.
| IUcAs.-The Patriot islargely occu
pied with discussion on Railroad mat
| ters. 1t seems that some citizens of
Charlton Township are making a big
effort to have the TIP. repudiate the
| Tax voted in aid Of the branch of the
b. & NJ. Railroad; but the Patriot will
not favor any reputation.
WARREN The Leader reports that
the Methodist Protracted Meeting at
| Indianola resulted in go accessions to
the Church. 1t is said that young
man lately doing business in Indianola
has disappeared with S25O0in cash be-
longing to his relatives. -Mr. Arch.
Payne attempted to drive his team
across the Railroad near Carlisle q
few days ago, while the train was COM
| ing in. Result was, two horses killed
and Mr.. Payne very seriously injured.
THE Leader has but very little to
say about the meeting held at Indian
ola by Messrs. Clancy and O'Brien
| in the interest of the M. & y.
| Railroad. 1t merely remarks that
these gentlemen "offer to bring their
line to Indianola if the people will
raise means enough to build the road
bed. Speeches were made by our cit
liens to the effect that they would do
what they could In aid of the enter
! prise when the time tt4s ~ ii3ii ne
meeting was well attended" We
suppose the Warren County folks feel
as though they were too much inter
ested in the Southwestern to take hold
of anything else now.
JASPER. Moved thereto by the
recent fire in Newton, the Repu6iican
urges that some organization be effect
ed for protection against fire, and re-
marks that there is as yet nothing of
the kind in Newton. are sorry
to learn, from the Republican, that
/ the editor of the Free Press "is nothing
but fostering sore and half putrid
mass of filth and corruption etc, &C.;
and moreover, that he is "The eter-
| nally-nonsensical-W ithout-evcr- being
| the-least- bit-funny dam phool Of the
! Iowa press, our pctticoated granny
contemporary" All Of which remarks,
applied to brother editor, carry with
/ them n certain impression as to the
dignity and GOV rte ftf ttiiftf srutifTUr.
The Monroe Record of last week
| has long communication from Mr..
| Fuller, one of the Directors Of the i.
! NJ. 81 y. =. Railroad Company, which
to ,sfett city +, dispose OF
| the false statements made in regard to
this enterprise in a communication
signed Voter which appeared in
| the Pella Blade some two weeks ago.
THE Records correspondent says
that the M. +. Church at Otley has a
splendid new "Silver Tongue Organ.
At a young-folk's party at Mr.
Galbraith's residence, east Of Monroe,

pistol with powder, ramming down a
heavy paper wad, and then shooting
Mr.. Galbraith's little boy, l0years old.
The charge passed through both Of the
little boys checks, between the jaws,
inficting a CHASTITY but not danger
