Hazeinutting.

LII recent drive out through Bowling
barrens we were quite surprised to see
acres and acres of hazelnut bushes, and all
along the road to find teams hitched, while
scores of children were in the bushes gath
ering the nuts. Several from this city we
noticed, on the way out,-and. on our re-
turn they were coming in with bags and
bags of the nuts, filling their wagons, and
hurrying home. These are jolly days for
the children, when they can don their old
clothes and go on regular romp gather
ing hazelnuts. In the winter evenings
coming, when, with apples and nuts and a
little nice cider, they gather in the home
circle, the pleasant times they had gath.
erin6 the nuts will be recalled and give
zest to the evening chat One load Of
bright little girls from this city we partic
ularly remember to have passed on ou
way out to Presumption. Mr.. Pease wal
acting as driver of the team, and the wag
onbed was full of little girls sitting on bag;
and in their old clothes, and the merry twin
kle Of their bright eyes, the familiar NOD
of their heads, and their pleasant recogni
ton as we passed, will not be forgotten. 1
was, no doabt, jolly day for them, in tn
hazelnut barrens of Bowling.

Death Of MRS. N. 3. osborn.

Though in poor health for year past, it
will be shock to many friends to hear of
the death of Mrs. NJ. B. Osborn. a most
estimable and highly respected lady, no.
tice of which appears in another part Of
this paper. Mrs. Eliza A. w. Osborn
was born in st. Austell. Cornwall. England.
She came to America in 1923. Mr.. Os-
born, who was born in Troy, N. Y. made
her acquaintance not long after her arriva
in this country, and they were married in
Hector, Tompkins county, New York, il
1897. They came to this state in 1887
and previous to settling here they resided
in Henry county. They came to Rock LIS
land in lS45.
Four children were the fruit of this union
three of whom now reside here-Sarah
wife of j. r. Corker; Lucy, wife of Henri.
Curtis, Jr., and Charles NJ, of the Law
firm of Osborn Il Curtis. The other die,
in infancy, before they came to Rock Isl
and Mrs. Osborn was, in her youth,
member of the Church of England, but al

The First Blunder.

Ex-Gov. Dix, of New York, has written
a letter full of good sense against the pro-
ject of initiating the currency, in which he
brings out the fact that he was opposed to
the issue of greenbacks at the beginning,
because he thought it to be unwarranted
by the constitution. He says:
Besides. did not think that measure necessary
to the successfully prosecution Of the war be-
leVed that II, in every act Of congress authorizing
loan, provision was inserted laying tax to pay
the interest, we could borrow all the money we
needed; and am satisfied now that we should IN
that case, have contracted from $500 100000 to
81, 900 900 less of debt"
Gov. Dix's statement throws the respon-
sibility for the issue of the greenbacks and
the troubles it has brought US on the Re.
publican party. 1t was wanton act and
gross blunder, without even the excuse
of necessity pleaded in justification of it;
for, instead Of it being the only means Of
securing money to carry on the war with
Gov. Dix shows that the money required
could have been secured at cost of q
thousand million less than the greenbackl
have entailed on us.

1t is amusing to note the grateful delight

1t is amusing to note the grateful delight
with which the Republican leaders an
nounce the arrival of Schurz, with reinforce
ments, in Ohio. 1t attests at once the
desperate nature of their fortunes, and the
changed character of their feelings towards
the man whom they derided three years
ago. 1t would not be surprising if he
should prove to be something different
from what they expect He has stub
born German habit of speaking his OWL
opinions rather than somebody else's. He
is no more Republican now than he was
in 1872, and he is quite as much Demo
Graf, as he was then, Ia short, if we un.
derstand his acceptance of the invitation
to speak in Ohio, he goes there to say
something in favor of hard-money, anc
nothing whatever in favor of the Republi
can party.-,& Louis Republican.

A Very Ssriols Mlttsr,

In the year 1870 Henry Clews & Co.,
bankers, of New York and London, were
appointed financial agents of the United
States in London, the deposits of the gov
eminent being taken from the house of
the Earrings. who had held this con6den-
tial and responsible position almost ever
since the foundation of our government
The change, made suddenly, and, so far as
the public knew, without cause, attracted
unpleasant comments at the time. 1t Was
commonly said that the appointment of
Clews Il Co. was the reward of political
service, and during the panic of 1S73,when
the house failed, Mr.. Clews was con-
spicuously spoken of as the personal friend
of the president and the secretary of the
treasury.
On Thursday, on hearing Of creditors
who opposed the discharge of the firm of
Clews & Co, under bankruptcy proceed
ings, appeared Benjamin III. Cheever of
Washington, and on his own account and
that of james Van Buren, presented an
unsatis6ed claim for one hundred and forty
thousand five hundred dollars for each as
their share of the profits made by the
house of Clews & Go. through being fnan-
cial agents Of the government, and as a
voucher for this claim exhibited thefollow
| ing agreement.
Should we be appointed by the United
States government its financial agents in London
Paris or Frankfort, we hereby agree to divide thu
profits of the same with 3. II Cheever and james
Van Buren,, one quarter each, they being partners
| in such proportion. HENRY CLEWS Il 90.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 81, 1869.
1t is not pretended, we believe, thai
Cheevcr and Van Buren, were partners il
the house of Clews 4 Co. What, then, il
the nature of their claim? For what reas
on should Clews & Co. promise them one
half their profits from their dealings witt
the government? Mr.. Boutwell, was secre
tary of the treasury when Clews & Co
were made financial agents in the place O
the Earrings. IF the document shown t.
the creditors is genuine will it not b,
necessary for MIR. Boutwell, to explain
The selection of Clews & Co. in place o
the Earrings excited establishment when i
was made. Now, in view of these agree
ments, if they shall prove authentic, it will
excite even less agreeable feelings.

No Excursion Tickets to the st. Louis
Fair on the r., r.. ]. b St. L. Road

The managers of the st. Louis Exposi-
ton were kind enough to print posters for
the r., r. 1. & St. L. R, r. free of charge
and send them along the line. and post
them. advertising excursion rates for the
StLouis Fair and Exposition-but, to-day,
an order was received from Mr.. Ferry, the
Receiver, to sell no excursion tickets. Mr..
Ferry is running the road under orders
from the U. S. court, and probably has no
authority to change the rate of fair. II
the people are misled by the posters, it is
more the fault of the Exposition managers,
who acted to hastily.in posting the notice.
without authority.
The Peoria road will probably sell ex.
cursion tickets.

The wh,teside County Murder Trial

There seems to be considerable interest
manifested in the case Of the People VS..
Geo. Bryant, for manslaughter,o on change
of venue from Whiteside county. The
following is brief staten ent of the case:
About the 23d of April, 1874, Martin
Refs, farmer and man nearly 70 years
old, living about five miles south of Erie,
in Whiteside county; Geo. Bryant, a
young man about % years old, living about
three miles south of Erie; and Mason Blais-
dell, relative of Bryant. and living near
him, got on drinking spree together, and
all became pretty drunk. The three
started home together, and on the way got
into drunken quarrel in which, the pros
ecution claims, Bryant struck Refs heavy
blow on the head with his fist. On the
18th Of May, that year, month after
wards, old man Refs died rather suddenly,
and his friends had Bryant and Blaisdel
arrested, claiming that Refs had died from
the effect Of blows received while in the
row, on the 23d of April. At the trial al
Morrison, the jury acquitted Blaisdell, but
brought in verdict of one year in the
penitentiary as to Bryant The court sci
aside the verdict of the jury, as to Bryant
and granted new trial and change O.
venue to this county.
Both parties were farmers, and Refs
was married man. with several children
and was considered wealthy. Bryant i
a single man, and is in moderate circum
stances.
The prosecution claims that decease,
died from the effects of the blows on tn
head, by Bryant, r.
The defense claims that Refs insultet
Bryant and the latter slapped him with hi
open hand in the lace. Also that, a fe,
days before the row, Refs had received a
unmerciful beating while drunk, at Hills
dale, in this county; that after the ROY
with Bryant, Refs had been thrown fror
a train near Sterling and had injured hi
head; that he had had considerable troubl
with his family after the Bryant row, hi
wife having applied for divorce, and hi
eldest son stolen $ll, 900 worth of note
from him, and that Refs had been drink
ing hard. up to the time of his death, an
the defense claims that these were til
causes of his death.
The case promises to be an interestiu
one and the lawyers on both sides wei
busy last night searching through medic;
books for cases to cite to sustain the
theories.
Twenty-Five witnesses for the prosecl
ton were sworn this morning and sever
: more are expected. Aud it is said TIL
the defense has as many if not more wi
nesses in the case. Our hotels give ey
dence of pretty large attendance

Gen. Schurz in Ohio.

On Saturday last, at L urner Hail, in
Cincinnati, Gen. Schurz delivered his first
speech in the Ohio campaign, The Re-
publican papers are foolishly Growing over
the fact that he opposes the reelection of
Gov. Allen, and declare that it means
return Of Gen. Schurz to the Republican
party. Col Grosvenor took the same
side, in Ohio, at tho beginning of the
campaign, and straightway all the Repub-
lican papers groaned under the weight of
heavy editorials headed THE Return of

hard money party in Pennsylvania instead
of the initiation rag-baby concern set up by
the Pennsylvania Democrats, and again
we are treated by administration papers
with homilies upon 1.-THE Return of the

None of these gentlemen have re-
turned" to the Republican par
ty. They are still Independents. ;"
They are doing precisely what THE
ARGUS has been doing for the last
few years-supporting principles, not par
ties or men. Gen. Schurz, in his Cincin-
natl speech, says he has not returned to
the Republican party, and he refuses to
return to that party--he refuses to commit
himself in any way upon the subject of
the next presidency, and so do a large
number of the Liberal Republicans,
Not one, that we now call to mind, has re-
turned to the Republican party, or given
any evidence of doing so. They left the
Republican party because of its danger.
