COUNTY FAIR:-As inquiry is be-
ginning to be made concerning the
Cedar County Fair, it will not be
amiss to state that the premium lists
have been ready for circulation for
month, and that copy will be sent
to any address upon application to
the Secretary, at this place. Any
information not given by the lists
will be fully accorded by any Of the
officers of the Society. There are a
number of causes which lead US to

q good, honest, agricultural fair, will
lend helping hand in this direc-
ton.

j. 0. Wescott, and clerk, were ex-
amined as to the purchase Of podo-
phyllin by Purza; and the INCEST ter
minated with the following verdict:
STATE OF IOWA, !,
CEDAR COUNTY:
An inquisition held atTipton, Ce-
dar county, Iowa, commencing on the
18th day Of June, 1874, and termina-
ting on the 18th day Of June, 1874,
before B. Wilhelm, Coroner of said
county, upon the body of w. Bromell,
then and there lying dead, by the jur-
ors whose names are hereto attached.
the said jurors upon their oath do
find, that the said w. Bromell came
to his death from an over dose Of po-
dophyllin, administered by the hands
of DIR. Purza, on the evening Of the
9th day of June, 1874.
Signed this 18th day of June, 1874.
G. w. SMITH,
VIM. DEAN, Jurors.
R.PRITCHARD.
In the meantime Purza was arrest.
ed, Tuesday, upon warrant issued
by Justice Tuthill and charging him
with manslaughter, Mrs. Bromell fl
ing the necessary information. Trial
was postponed for the event of the
inquest, Mr.. Jacobs becoming bail
for Purza in the sum Of two thousand
dollars. On Monday examination was
waived by defendant, Jacobs being
joined by o. C,Jack and J. G. Wyant,
in bond of same amount as above
for his appearance before the Grand
Jury.
The deceased was a man Of middle
age, and having family consisting
of wife, two daughters, both young
ladies', and son some twelve or four
teen years of age. The scene at his
death bed, upon the arrival of his
suddenly summoned children, was one
of extreme sadness. The young la
dies gave way to the emotions ava
kened by such an unexpected sorrow
to degree of phrenzy-indeed, one
of them we learn to be still prostra-
ted and hardly in possession of her
faculties,
Look upon the affair as we may, it
was sad one; and carries with it
lesson that can hardly need indexing
or emphasizing. But the public will
see the propriety under present cir
of leaving conclusions to
the tribunal which has been invoked.
Such sad event might spring from
a mere mistake, criminal only as we
look at the dire result; but if on the
other hand, our laws offer no protec-
ton from ignorance in affairs of this
kind, it is high time we realize the
fact.

The CEDAR BRIDGE.-There are
probably few persons who have been
resident in Cedar county for any con-
siderable length of time to whom the
serious need of reliable bridge over
the Cedar river has not at some time
urgently presented itself. And upon
general principles, the idea Of q coun-
ty like concentrating over twenty
thousand inhabitants, rich in every
evidence of material prosperity and
long passed into that settled condi-
tinn of civilization under which per-
manent internal improvements arc an
acknowledged duty-the idea of a
county like this, we say, with one
fourth Of its territory separa ted from
the remainder by freaky river
which is absolutely impossible for
weeks in each year and may only be
forded, ferried or crossed on the ice
for other weeks with trouble and dan
ger, is anything but pleasant and
satisfactory one. Such being the
case we are glad that our Board Of
Supervisors has given the people of
the county an opportunity to decide
by vote whether the evident need of
q good public bridge is great enough
to warrant the imposition Of light
tax for its construction.
1t is true we have had theory
(which we believe has once been
briefly ventilated in print that it was
almost pity to compromise with the
t,co bridges, which are really needed
to make facilities for intercommuni-
cation firstrate, by building one near
the center Of the divided territor y
where it must be considerably inoon-
venient to very many who would de-
sire to use it. But two bridges are
undoubtedly out of the question for
an indefinite period in the future, and
in the meantime the great need for
bridge facilities will undoubtedly be
a sufficient argument for building one
good bridge at that point where it
can best accommodate the greatest
number.
