A DESERVED COMPLEMENT In letter
received some time since, from our val
ued friend and former neighbor, Hon. N.
c. Deering, of Usage, he makes the follow
ing mention of the First National Bank
of this city:
I'm these panic times your city may
well be proud of her stable men and IN
stitutions in financial matters. After
what transpired in Dubuque, and the dis
closures at the Merchants National. we
may be prepared for almost anything.
Any Of us may be deceived, but with RET
erence to your National Bank, I shall not
hesitate to say that regard it AS one of
the soundest and best managed banks in
Iowa"
This testimony, aside from its being
that of gentleman of insight and intelli-
gence. is all the, more significant and val
liable for the reason that Mr.. Deering is
the Official Bank Examiner for our State
and has opportunities possessed by no
one else for investigation Of the affairs
of these institutions necessary to enable
him to render an intelligent and unerring
Judgment He was in our city last week,
and in the discharge of his duties, again
went through the 1st National. He in
formed US that what he saw on this last
visit only confirmed his former opinion
quoted above. This but comedies with the
Judgment of other examiners, Mr.. Deer
ing's predecessors, who have been wont
to allude to our bank as a model of care
full and judicious management

Our Public Schools.

The fall term closed on Friday last and
the exercises in all the grades were unus-
ually interesting, and many parents and
patrons evinced their soil citude for their
Household Idols by their personal pres
ence in whatever rooms and departments
they were most deeply interested in.
The introduction Of the study of Phys
iology and a uniform system or Gymnas
tic exercises into all the schools, seems to
have added much to the attractiveness of
the school work, and it is truly surprising
with what avidity and success children,
even in the primary and secondary room
have entered into this new recreation of
studying the geography Of their own
bodies.
The Grammar School on the West Side
was made the scene Of Of a sadly pleasant
occurrence, which deserves more than a
passing notice.
On the previous evening, it was made
known ut the meeting of the School
Board, that Miss While declined re-
election to the position which she had 80
long filled, with such eminent sccess, and
such complete satisfaction, and that Miss
Butterfield, who even longer 1--WE believe
from the very first organization of our
Scools) had been identified with their .ev-
cry interest, and with equal cminence and
satisfaction to the entire community; also
desired to be relieved for a terms rest
and the pupils soon whispered the
matter around among themselves, that
teachers SO deeply endeared to their
hearts, must not be permitted to leave
without some testimonial of tho regard
which they SO earnestly felt, and they
took the liberty to make Miss Butterfield
the innocent instrument of practical
Joke, for she was at once let into the Sc
crct. and made the collector for procuring
the means to obtain Miss Whites pres.

The CHARITY BALL-It was but nat
ural to suppose-judging from the success
of previous parties given by them-that
the charity ball to be given on Christmas
night, under the supervision of the Hook
and Ladder Company, would be a grand
and successful affair. 1t proved to be all
that the most sanguine could wish, both
in having a pleasant time and financially
viewed. In point of numbers it was the
largest that has ever been held in our
city, there being in attendance one hun
dred aud fifty'six couples. 1t would seem
that so many, and all eager to show their
dcxtcrity in tripping the light fantastic
toe, could not be accommodated without
causing considerable confusion and mix.

understood their busin css thoroughly, the
dance passed off Systematically. Of
course, when there were ninety COUP
les on the floor at one time. it was most
too crowded for comfort, but about IL
O'Clock the "old folks repaired to their
homes, and the young people held full
sway. 1t was not until the cock had
sounded his bugle in the morn that they
cried "hold, enough"
After paying all expenses there will be
about hundred dollars left, to be dis
posed of as the H. & L. Co. see it, 1t is
their intention to devote it to the benefit
Of the poor. Who the recipients Of this
money will be we do not know, but they
will, no doubt, be parties who are truly

The DoLENrY TRAGEDY-The eXami.
nation Of VIM. Dolenty for stabbing John
Gardner on the 22d of October last, an
account of which was given In the Bull
LETIN at the time, took place at Manches-
ter two weeks since, and resulted in the
discharge of Dolenty. The attorneys for
the prosecution were Col S. G. Van An
da of Manchester. Ed. Begun Of this city
and John Lynch of Blairstown. and for
the defense, J S. Woodward of this city
and Ghas Z. Bronson of Manchester.
From the following synopsis Of the testi
mony, which we find in the Press, it will
be seen that the facts concerning the af.
fair are substantially as first given in the
BULLETIN, and justified Dolenty in de-
Tending himself in the way he did
The evidence tended to show that the
parties had imbihed freely OF liquor be-
fore leaving town; that on their way
home the father in law of Gardner got
lost, and that Gardner went back to find
him; that Dolenty held his (Gardner's)
team, Gardner going back on foot; that
during the time he was gone, Dolenty's
team became unmanageable, and he was
obliged to relinquish his hold ON Gard
ners team and attend to his own horses
while Gardeners horses went by them
selves; that when Gardner went back he
caught them, and as he came up with Do
lenty. said, as this the way you hold q
mans team?" Dolenty said he could not
hold his own horses and his (Gardner's)
too. Gardner said, "YOu lie, you did not
mean to hold them" and then Gardner
seized Dolenty and pulled him out of the
wagon, and pounded and beat him-of
course all under the influence of the liq-
uor they had drank After getting Do
lenty down, he kicked him and held him
by the throat, and otherwise maltreated
him In self defense, Dolenty drew his
knife with his right hand, and struck up
wards at Gardner, while he (Dolenty) was
lying on the ground, intlicting the wounds
which came so near proving fatal to Gard
ner. Some Of Gardeners admissions to
persons the same night after he was
wounded, agreed in part with Dolenty's
testimony in the examination, and the cv-
idence showed that Dolenty had been Sc
verely bruised, blood having flow ed from
his ear for several days after the ARRAY
en- the side which he stated was injured
when he was jerked from the wagon.
And there did not seem to be sufficient
cause for such serious ARRAY. The pris-
oner's testimony seemed reasonable to the
court and other corroborating circum.
stances proved that he was justified IN
using the necessary means for his own
safety. He was accordingly released and
his bail discharged
