DRUNK AND DisORDEHLY. john SAKE,
"A farmer living west of Hazlet0n, came to
town on Monday and proceeded TO put
himself outside of several drinks Of tam
Gle foot whisky. He was found by the
Marshal in the street, travelling on the
broad guage and making more noise than
comportcd with the public peace, and
was locked up in the calaboosc. Next
morning, when taken before Esq. Lee for
trial, he was as drunk AS eyer, and un
manageable as a down east potato sloop
in - squat. He was accordingly fined
| SO and costs, and remanded to Jail unit
paid. Six Or eight hours after, tho
Sheriff, noticing that the drunk did moi
wear off, searched John, and found OF
him a quart bottle about a quarter full 0
raw alcohol. The three quarters Of emp
:iness accounted for Johns long and lout
spree. The fire removed, the steam wen
down. So SAKE paid his fine and wen
home.

J. D~ENIAL.-We are informed that u
prominent citizen &c Quasqucton, in a
public meeting in that place, recently,
asserted that the papers Of the county
are engaged solely in the effort to build
up Independence at the expense OF the
remainder of the county, and especially
at the expense of Quasqueton. Speaking
for the BULLETIN, We emphatlcally deny
and repudiate the charge. 1t has always
been our endeavof to do justice to all
parts of the county. We have freely
thrown open our columns for the setting
forth of the claims and interests of every
locality, and We now say specially to the
people of Q~uasqucton, il you have any
interest peculiar TO yourselves that yon
think should be ventilated before the
public; send on our communications,
and VIC will give them prominent place
and courteous consideration. To the
general invitation to contribute to our
columns, the people of the south eastern
portion of the county have net responded
as they should. and their interests dictate,
or as other sections have done. We
hope that they will respond to this spec.
ial invitation and send us spicy letters
every week upon topics of local interest
and discussions concerning local enter
Dr,ses. VIZ do not believe that the in
terests of our county ale divergent, nei
ther do we believe that those Of one por
ton of it can be advanced without bene
fitting all the rest. So if we owned ever,
foot of land in Independence, We woul,
still welcome anything which would ado
to the prosperity or importance of an.
other town or. township in Buchanan
county. The head line of our paper ind
Gates its character, and we haye no dis
position to change it.

A communication in the Conservative
of this week purporiing to come from
Jesup, but which we suspect was incuba-
ted not a mile from the Conservative
office, administers in the form Of what
is intended to be biting sarcasm, n rGbukc
to the papers Of this city for daring to
c~riticise the position Of those who advo-
cate and justify hanging from the Bible
stand point. The communication so far
as 1t has any point ut all, it is q defense
and partial reiteration, in modified form,
Of the extravagant positions of the letter
of Jason Turner" published in the ION
sergatiue two weeks ago. That letter
was a satire, but If anybody needs an
excuse for mistaking it for an ingenious
setting forth of the views of n certain
class of the defenders of the gallows, the
communication in this weeks Conserc@-
tire viii go far to furnish it,
In it will be found the sanie gratuitous
assumption that hanging is a divine or
dinancc, which to omit is to fly in the
face of the Deity. 1t accuses all WHO
cannot accept stransulation as one of
the divinely appointed means of grace, of
iouting at God, Moses, St. Paul and
that old Encyclopaedia Of nonsense, the
Bible" and of desiring to substitute mod
crn humanitarian logic" for Divine pre-
ccpt, in dealing with crime. The charge
is Il sweeping one; and IN with pecu-
liar grace from one who rebukes the press
for holding "bigoted r~eligionists up to
public odinm and contempt"
W. do not propose to be drawn into a
controversy upon the scriptural aspects
of the question under discussion, but at
the risk of again disturbing the cquanim-
ity of the correspondent Of the Conserod-
tire, we affirm that net only is the taking
of life for crime r%cpugnant to the spirit
and teachings of the religion OF the Bible
but that tho one text upon which the
advocates Of the death penalty rest the
burden of their argument for its divine
! appointment is in the original, obscure,
and is by some fthe best Hebrew scholarH
ia this country interpreted SO rs to con
vey an entirely different meaning from
that attached to it by The advocates
aforesaid. Therefore the attempt OF the
| latter TO held over the heads ofthosc who
| disagree with them, the terrors ct un
belief and infidelity is uncalied for. not
to say ridiculous.

THE Dcs Moines correspondent of Tho

THE Dcs Moines correspondent of the
Dubuque Times says:
II have discovered the counterpart OF
Jason Turner, of Fairbank, in the person
of Hon. Mr.. Duncan, Of Louisa. He says
it is none of our business whether the
hanging law is successful or unsuccessful,
and whether murder is increased or di-
minishcd under its operation, for the
command is: Whose shcddeth mans
blood by man shall his blood be she'd
and III only bus mess is to obey"
We were sold by Jason Turner's" let
ter and the Conservatives endorsement OF
it, but the above affords Il justification for
our o~btuscness. There are men who talk
in sober earnest just what Jason wrote in
irony, and we were led to believe that
one of those men who will follow his the.
ory if it leads him into an absurdity, had
come to the surface in the columns Of our
contemporary.

Lost in O Storm.

In view of the many lives lost in the
recent storm, the question "What shall a
man do when lost in a storm that en-
dangers his life" becomes one of some
Importance. If a region somewhat
settled, let him travel with the wind,
until he finds a house. A man can travel
four times as far with the wind rs against
it. before becoming exhausted, and he
will not become near as cold,-bcsides
he will avoid going in q circle, as many
lost men have done till they persisted.
If he cannot reach a house, and there is
sufficient snow, let him, before too much
exhausted, cover entirely up in a snow
bank. where he can RENAME quite COM
fortably until the storm is over.

Here is something that etfectually dis,
poses of that little political dodge of
Dodge County Democrats At a meeting
OF the Executive Committee of tn. State
Grange. held Tuesday at Oshkosh, reso-
luton was adopted repudiating the re.
cent action of Dodge County Grange, in
calling State Convention in this city on
the 2lst Of next month An order was
issued to the Oranges throughout the
State, directing them to disregard the call,
and not lend themselves to any political
scheme directly opposed to the cardinal
principles of the order. This action of
the executive committee conclusively de-
termines the attitude OF the Oranges with
reference to politics and political wire
pullers, and old clo'men may as well hang
up their riddles accordingly. -Mit~aukee

The 9th inst. was the day at Vienna
for universal exposition nf the moving
and reaping machines on show there. but
it was practically an American exhibition.
The English and French manufacturers
declined to stand the test of comparison
with the Yankee machines, so that the
Americans had but four European com.
petitors Everything that stupidity and
lack of foresight could do seems to have
been done by the managers to prevent a
satisfactory trial; but, despite these draw.
backs, the exhibition is said to have been
very fine.
