WiIted Cuttings.

To revive wilted cuttings, Hearth
and Home says: Mix three or four drops
of spirits of camph0r with an ounce OF
water, and keep their stems in this fluid
for half day or more, in dark place,
till they have entirely recovered. Cam.
phor water will also cause seeds soaked in
it To terminate more quickly, andin some
cases restore vitality to those which have
lost it by long keeping.

Obituary..

Died, at independence, Iowa, June Goth,
1875, Martha A., wife of E. Ross, in the
44th year of her age.
Mrs r. was the fifth of family of six
children, three sons and three daughters,
of Ezekiel and Betsey Cutter, of Lower
Waterford, Vermont The three brothers,
only, are now living, two sisters having
preceded Mrs II. to the other shore.
When about eighteen years of age, at a
time of general religious awakening in
her native town, Mrs. r.. made public
profession of her faith in Christ. This
profession she maintained during her sub
scquent life. In her last days, especially,
she expressed unwavering confidence in
her Saviour, and cheerful submission to
the Divine will.
The 18th of September would be the
twentieth anniversary of the beginning of
her married life. She has been the moth
er of two children; one has preceded her,
while the other remains to cheer the heart
of her lonely companion.
Thus has passed away beloved and
faithful wife, an affiectionate mother, and
a worthy and useful member of the church
and community.

ED. BULLETlN:-Greelcy Grove Grange
of this township, was, on Friday evening
last, agreeably surprised by a visit from
Jefferson Grange, of Oelwein, with full
baskets of chicken, cakes, pies, and other
good things too numerous to mention. 1t
was truly good and pleasant time for all
concerned and we hope to have many
more of the same kind in the future
Farm work is behind on account of the
wet weather. Corn wants the pillow con-
stantly to keep the weeds down where
they belong. Corn is growing very slow,
it must have more warm weather or it will
be o very poor crop. Small grain is look
ing tip-iop. aud the prospect is good for
both wheat and oats.
The veto of Judge B,ggs is a disap
pointment to many, but we are in hopes
the Supervisors will call an extra session,
if by so doing their blundcr may be cor
Iected, for the law is just what we all
want. The most OF the voters who voted
for the law are the very ones who are
violating it by not trying to do anything
with their stock, and they are jubilant
over the ruling Of the Judge.
How is it about that five thousand suit !!
what; are they going to do with the money!
hope tho plaintiff will devote it to charity
Of something good. 8.

THE atmospheric conditions since yes.
terday seem to indicatethat the wet spell is
over. It's little singular that the del
uge of cold water should cease simultane-
ously with the meeting of the Democratic
State Convention. The free whiskcy
leaders of that party must have been ex-
cessively annoyed during the past month
or two with the copiousness of an element
their rabid cry for "judicious license, {"
which in their case means whisky unlimi-
ted, is undoubtedly to be attributed to
their impotence arising from the plenti-
full dispensations of so much thin" drink
