HAzLEroN, Ia, Sept. 9th, 1873.
Ed. BULLETIN: AS there has been no
communication III your paper lately from
this part of the county, will venture to
write Il few items The weather can be
described with just one ord--wet. There
has been one or two blows that did con-
siderable damage to stacks of grain, in
some instances blowing whole bundles of
grain forty rods and over. There has
been SO much rain of late as to almost
stop the farmers from all kinds of fall
work. SO far, there has been but very
little threshing done. The yield of wheat
50 far Is from ten to fifteen bushels per
acre. Oats from fifty to sixty bushels per
acre.
The County Convention being over
there will not be SO much political hypoc-
ricy circulated through the county in the
shape of candidates for nomination, eX-
falling their ability to fill county offices.
Our town is improving. We BOAST OF
two saloons now, and 4 few lirst-class
loafers to held down benches for another
one, if some enterprising beer vender will
only furnish the benches, and not a roof
over them Now AND THEN.

Hon. HIRAM PRICE.-The speaking
campaign in this county was most aus
picously opened on the Republican side
last Friday evening, by the gentleman
whose name heads this article. Our pco-
pie were not generally acquainted with
Mr.. Prices power as an orator and sound
reasoner, and were accordingly somewhat
taken by surprise to have offered to item
one of the best political speeches ever
all the more noteworthy and crcditable in
the fact that it was dignified, courteous
and convincing, appealing to no base mo-
tives or passions and indulging in no clap
trap of any nature. He took up the plat
form of the Democracy of this State, eX=
aiming its declarations and professions
with regard to national issues, in detail,
and by comparing them with the former
record of the party and its manifestations
when it has power, showing how hollow
and deceptive they are The Democratic
policy regarding the finances, vaguely
Swallowed in the State platform, was
shown to be revolutionary and disastrous;
not intended to be practical but only put
forth to serve the ends of demagogucs and
selfish partisans. But it was ON the tenn.
perance question that Mr.. Price was en-
In al tJnt I,
ton of license or prohibition was not
properly an issue in this contest. The
vast majority of the people of the State
are contented with the law as it is, and
demand no change. But as the Democra-
cy have seen fit to put it in their platform,
he examined the demand for license, and
showed that in the mouths of its present
advocates, it is simply demand for free
whisky; the pre!ense that it is to restrict
the sale of liquor being the thinnest kind
of hypocrisy, He defended prohibition
with vigor and outspoken energy, and, as
was evident from the repeated applause
bis remarks elected, his audience was in
! complete accord with hun.
Mr.. Price was listened to throughout
with the closest attention, and never has
speech here been favored with more
hearty demonstrations of enthusiasm, Oh
more frequent and vigorous bursts of APP
plause. The feeling which it brought to
the surface shows that the Republicans
are awake and will give good account OF
| themselves next month

THE Dubuque papers OF Tuesday con
tanned the particulars of the suicide, by
hanging, on Monday morning, of Mrs.
Anna E. Northrop, wife of Henry Nor.
throp, express messenger on the Illinois
Central Railroad, and daughter of j. II.
Kellar, of this city. The family relations
of Mrs. Northrop were of the most happy
cherished by her husband, and had one
little daughter upon whom she lavished a
mothers love. The cause of her rash act
was undoubtedly temporary alteration
of mind, resulting from long spell of
sickness, from witch She was slowly re

TIE Conservative seems to have put its
foot in it in its notice of an agent OLA foreign
photographer, who has been taking orders
here Its statement that he was IA fraud,
was not true as 1t appears, and for time
looked rs if our contemporary might be
confronted with suit for damages. Now,
we might follow the example set by that
paper and, by inflaming the passions of
the party aggrcved, try to egg on vexa-
tious suit against our neighbor; but we
have no such desire. We know how diff
fcult it is for publisher to discI inmate
among the apparently well authenticated
reports of passing transactions that come
to him, and that he is peculiarly liable to
make mistakes even when most careful to
avoid them. In the present case, VIC
know that our neighbor had no malicious
motive in representing the agent as IA
fraud upon the community, but only Il
proper desire TO warn its readers aeains
imposition, and we hope that the matter
may be arranged satisfactory to all parties

The County Fair.

The Annual Fair OF the Buchanan Co.
Agricultural Society opened at the Fair
/ Grounds, near this city, on Tuesday of the
present week, and closed last evening. -
The opening was not propitious. A rainy,
cloudy spirits depressing atmosphere her
ed in the exhibition, and, continuing the
second day, cXerted an unfavorable in
huencc upon it until the end. 1t was
nevertheless not II failure, by any means.
The outdoor display, with the exception
of few classes, was very meagre, and
not near equal to former years. Especial
| " was this noticed in the line of cattle,
horses, and implements. The show of
hogs was exceedingly good, and would
have been creditable anywhere. Our
home breeders are deserving of much
credit for their fine display of blooded
swine, and to them almost wholly is due
the fact that the stock department of the
fair was not an entire failure. If the
breeders of fine cattle in our county had
been half as mildful Of what was due the
society, the public, their customers and
themselves, this department of the fair
would have been something worth boast
ing about.
But if the outside show was mcagre and
unsatisfactory, the display in Floral Hall
and the household and dairy departments
went far to redeem the whole Floral
Hall was especially brilliant 1t was Il
rich and rare museum of all sorts of use
full and ornamental articles far exceeding
any previous exhibition. Its success is
due to the Jealous and untiring industry
and fine taste of the ladies, under the
lead of Mrs. G. r. Wallace, Supt of the
Floral department, The dairy products
and pantry stores were well and fully
represented. The late and unfavorable
season prevented as fine Il display of fruits
rs usual, and the same cause also initiated
against the fullness and variety of the
vegetable display In the line of domcs-
tic manufactures, the Fair was very fine
and fully up to former years.
The condition of the track from the
rain, of course, was not favorable for sat
isfactory results in the trotting contests
advertised, although, we believe, the pro-
gramme was fully carried out by the man
ayers. For the trotting match for I'M
trained farmers horses, styled the "Grang-
er Trot," on Wednesday, there were five
entries; and though the contest developed
no great speed, it was productive of
''heaps of fun" A long shanked ANIMAL
ridden by Il boy, belonging to l.. Rey
nolds, of Jefferson, took the first money,
$25. For the $3.50 trot, open for all, on
the last day of the fair, there were entered
ii. Clark's horse Judas" Tom Barnett's
mare MARY b" and w. II. Chamberln's
horse Hardware" Judas" won the
race in three straight heats, the horses
passing under the wire, each heat in the
order named.
In the number of people in attendance,
and financially the fair was IA reasonable
success. The total receipts were about
81 900; about $3.50 greater than last year.
The gate money the second day exceeded
$500, and on the last day amounted to
about 1925. Taking al things into con
sidcraton, the weather, bad season, and
other untoward circumstances. the man
agement are satisfied and encouraged to
