Ed. BULLETIN-Dear Sir have
before me q copy of the memorial adopt
ed by the State Grange and presented to
the State Legislature, in which you will
observe that we not only asked but con.
fidently expected that body to enact some
law fixing q maximum rate of charges on
railroads, and especially to adopt some
measure to prevent the present outrageous
discrimination. Now, not being of a
very nervous temperament, l have no idea
of flying off the handle, because the
Iowa Legislature did deign to notice u
petition or request Of body of farmers
no matter how large, for having been Il
farmer all my life, have become used to
legislation in favor of monied monoplies,
consequently am not often disappointed.
Now l, for one, would be Us 10th to ad
wise any member of the Legislature as
the BULLETIN is to advise Changers, but
as the resolutions of Washington Grange
as published in the BULLETIN of some
weeks since, are considered hasty and ILL
timed and condemn without hcal ing,
and as | used what little influence ! had
in securing the election of Mr.. Bemis to
his present position, always giving MS my
opinion that more honest man could
not be found among us, and although not
an orator, l b .lieyed that he would faith
fully represent the masses. Now, not
deeming myself very wise, but being of a
thoughtful turn of mind, and failing to
arrive at any conclusion, and thinking

Cheese versus Wheat.
BYRON TOWNSHIP, March

BYRON township, MaTCH y.
ED. BULLETlN:--It is thawing very
fast to day, and the ground being cover
cd with mud and water, 50 that it is IN
comfortable out of doors So it has &C
Cured to me, in lack of other employ
ment, that possibly you might like to
know that your readers in Old Byron
have survived the long and tedious win
ter and are alive and kicking yet My
particular theme, however, after this as
surance, is Cheese We have a cheese
house in tins township that did an excel
lent business last season and will do a
better one the coming year. That you
may not think me mistaken in this pre-
dlction, will give you an account OF
last years business.
The total amount of milk received at
the Factory in 1872 was 2l6,160 pounds.
The total amount of cheese manufactured
was 81, $3.50 pounds. We began to make
cheese May 18th, and stopped October
18th. We deliver the milk once day,
and give the owners OF the factory, the
Messrs. Eddy, who furnish everything
and cure the cheese, 2I cents per pound
for manufacturing. The cheese was all
sold in your city and vicinity. and the
average price received was l2ls cents
Some of the patrons have cleared wa
each on their cows. We Shall commence
the manufacture OF cheese again about
the first of May, and my advice to farmers
is--if they want to make the most OF their
cows--to take their milk to the cheese
house. If they have not one already cs
tablished in their neighbOrhood, let them
club together and build one. am sure
that it will pay them better than raising
wheat. ~

Death Of Miss Stella NJ. Rich.

In this region, during the past winter,
Death has gathered larger harvest than
usual. No age has been spared, from The
infant of few days to those bowed down
with the weight of years, he has gathered
his sheaves. Among the homes upon
which his dark shadow has fallen, none
has been more saddcned than that of the
family Of l.. b. Rich, Of Winthrop
Their daughter, Stella NJ, aged 20 years,
died on the 18th Of February last. Stella,
though frail of body, was always kind,
patient, cheerful and confiding and those
who have been with her most can the
better appreciate the words of her father
as expressed in private letter, although
they may not be able to realize the an
guish of father and mother thus be-
reaved
1T seems as though the sun would
never shine again to us. She was TWEEN
ty years old on the 5th of January last,
but has always been our little girl and
pct; has never been strong, but always
cheerful We shall miss her more than
any one can tell"

LEGISLATIVE ARROGANCE-AN INvA

LEGISLATIVE ARRoaANCE-AN INvA-
SION OF THE R1GHTs OF THE PEOPLE
We accepted an invitation on Monday
evening to attend the last meeting of the
outgoing City Council and the inaugura-
ton Of the new council. In company
with smart sprinkling Of guests and
spectators, who We presume had received
similar invitation, we dccorously and
patiently listened while the old council
wound up its affairs We listened to the
feeling valedictory of the ex-Mayor, and
witnessed the graceful flourish with which
he indicted his successor into the chair
of municipal authority. We saw the new
city fathers sworn in, and viewing their
stalwart frames, were struck with their
capabilities for labor on the streets. The
standing committees were announced,
and then came the interest Of the evening,
the election of minor officers. First the
City Clerk; a ptud rOce vote was ordered,
Weart and Smeallie were the candidates.
Wcart had Kenyon, Durham, Naylor,
Leach-4. Smcallic had Ames, Travis,
Clarke. Pond, Warnc-5. Neither hav-
ng the majority of the council, another
vote was ordered. At this juncture oc-
Cured the outrage indicated by the title
of this article We did not at first com
prchcnd the full scope Of its impudence.
but our indignation has been rising ever
since, and it is with difficulty that we can
restrain ourselves from annihilating that
whole Council. Durham the tall son
OF York" from the 4th Ward, rosc-per
haps we should say undoubled-an in
q manner us bland rs that of the Heather
Chinee said that as the Council was
little skittish about their record on this
question, he would move that the room
be cleared Of all outsiders, meaning the
invited guests aforesaid Travis, of the
LIST Ward, promptly seconded the motion
when, followed by the rest Of the outrag-
cd sovercigns, we made for the door and
the street. An Indignation meeting was
organized instanter,--it is singular how
natural it is to resort to that mode Of re.
dress at such times sand for few min
utes the situation was hot, not to say
sulphureous.
In the meantime the Council relieved
from the presence of its masters, the peo-
pie, recovered its nerve and proceeded
| with the matter in hand We swore,
however, by the goose-quill of Ben
Franklin, that the people should know
how the final vote stood on Clerk, so we
pumped weak member, and here it is:
For Wcart-Kenyon, Clarke, Pond,
Durham, Naylor and Leach-6.

assert their dignity would be to clear the

The INSANE IIOsPiTAL.-Th Board of
Trustees of this institution were in SEES
sion in this city last week. The only
notable item Of business transacted was
the election of Matron for the Hospital,
the choice falling upon Mrs. Geo jesse,
lyn, wife of the Steward Those who
know her intimately will agree that no
better selection WAS likely to have been
made. No lady, of our acquaintance, in
addition to q kind and sympathetic M
tire, possesses in more marked degree
those qualities of firmncss. self possession,
nerve and capacity for government so es.
sental to the successful performance OF
the duties Of this arluous station, than
Mrs. Josselyn. She has had experience
in the same capacity at Mt. Pleasant, and
we are sure will justify the preference of
the Board. The election Of an Assistant
Physician was further postponed. Prep
erations are actively in progress for the
early opening of the institution for the
