Mr.. e.. NJ. Smith, formerly Of Com,
petine Township in this County, and
who served faithfully during the war;
in Crocker's 18th Iowa Regiment, came
in this morning from Northern Iowa.
Mr.. Smith is one Of the pioneers in
the region devastated by grasshoppers
last summer, he having went to Clay
county and made homestead some
two years ago. lie says that the grass
loppers come down upon them one
morning in midsummer and darkenod
the air with their numbers and at the
end of two weeks they left, leaving
nothing in the way Of vegetation be-
hind them. Mr.. Smith informs us that
they even devoured his tobacco and
onion patches, clear down, even with
The ground beyond recuperation. lie
had fair crop Of wheat, oats, barley,
corn, &c, which would have been suf-
ficient for his own use and TO snare.
but that Mr.. G. Hopper left HIM with
a barren, desert waste, where, before
his fields were laughing with the pros
pective harvest. We have no reason
to doubt the reliability of Mr.. Smith,
and he says the statement as to the
wants Of that section have not been
fully stated; much less, exaggerated.
He thinks the efforts General Baker
has inaugurated arc entitled 10 public
confidence. Mr.. Smiths address is
Annevillc, Clay County, lows, and
anything in the way of subsistence or
seed, for the ensuing crop, for himself
or neighbors, will be faithfully applied.
We presume that his neighbOrs In
Wapello and Keokuk counties, who
are acquainted with his charastas, and
who have been blessed with plenty,
will eheerfally respond to his appeal.

We call the attention of our people

School Superintendent In this city

that it will be carefully read and heed

aid Of parents. Further, this aid from
the parents Isl devoid of more than
one-half OF its efficacy, il the parent

We have repeatedly urged the visit
ing Of our schools, aud we just say TO
one and ALI, that we would not give a
fig for your criticisms, unless you have
visited the school. and that with rea-
soDable frequency. Children have
vice heads, ..enough to see that if their
parents do not go In person to see how
their children are progressing and
how they are managed and taught
in the school, that they, the children,
are not under the immediate and
watchful eye Of the parent and his Or

Ottumwa weekly courier. (Ottumwa, Wapello County, Iowa) 1872-1899, 1874-02-12


Our attention has been called to q
need for legislation in two particulars.
Fa'st: That there is no statute exist
ing for the punishment OF bad boys
and vicious young men who expose
their persons shamelessly, and use in
decent language to the opposite sex
upon the highways or other places
Most shameful instances of this kind
occurred in this county not long
since, aud our law officers have been
unable to find statute providing for
the punishmcnt Of the offenders.
Second There Is no clearly adequate
statute 20 punish persons who haul
dead animals away and leave them un-
buried in the woods or open grounds
near to highways, or in the vicinity of
