Destructive FloodS--Creat
Loss of Crops, Property &c.

MUULToN, AppanoOse Co., Iowa, July 3, 1875
EDITOR NEWS "A word from an Old Highlander
may not be amiss. On Sunday, June Is, it began
raining. Monday a terrible storm of rain hail and
wind followed, doing considerable damage, tearing
up roads, blowing down fences and leaving crops
in fearful condition; and for tlcenty dGys farming
has been laid aside and the weeds seem to be the
owners of our corn. But on Thursday night, July
1st the 1iood-gates seemed opened, and we had the
most terrible thunder storm ever witnessed.
Daylight brought to view the destruction. Small
rvulets of the past became fearful streams fencing
washed away, bridges torn up and the track of the
M. 1. & N. R. r. torn up for miles-rais and ties
washed clear of the grade and logs rails and brush
left in their stead.
No trains have passed on the North Missouri as
yet. Some houses have been entirely washed away,
and the Charlton river (some five miles from here)
is spreading out all its bottoms, causing many
families to forsake their homes for place of safe
ty. Some were only got out on RATS. One large
farmer by the name of Robinson, living near the
village of Dean, has hundred acres of corn en-
tirey submerged. One farmers loss is estimated
at $500 One mans farm of S5 acres is entirely
der water. A young lady cooked breakfast yester-
day morning with six inches of water in the kitch
en- The writer visited the village of Dean yester-
day, and it truly looks fearful learn to-day the
river is still rising, and 1 write the muttering
thunder is heard and it seems the end is not yet.
II. ALBERT.
P. s.. Jnly 6. Since writing the above we have
had more rain, and the river has been higher, but
is now falling. A cool breeze is blowing from the
North, and it seems the rains over; but several
families have had to leave their homes. There has
been some loss of fowls and some little OF stock,
but strange to say, yet loss of any human life
Such is the goodness of Providence. Let US trust
in God. H.A.

The REPUBLIC magazine for July is
at hand. Like previous numebrs
this one is full of valuable and inte-
resting material. It is the only po-
itical magazine devoted to the inte-
rests of the Republican party, and as
such it ought to receive the liberal
support of the friends of the cause.
The Republic is doing its best to
make the coming campaign vigor-
GUS one. 1t is thoroughly in earnest,
and if the party becomes infused
with its spirit we shall reverse the
verdict of last fall. The July num-

posted there last fall.
To-day, June 26th, finds the corn
starting out again from the stubs,

heart out, and we will probably have
half a crop of wheat, oats and corn,

Other portions of our State, furth-

us. The belt of country we were in
was only about fifteen miles wide.

In his speech to the Newark Grang

In his speech to the Newark Grang-
ers, Gov. Allen attributed a softening
and civilizing effect to the participa-
ton of females in public affairs. He
evidently thinks better of the fair
sex, than he did thirty years ago,
when he slandered the gentle old
mothers of Chillicothe, by charging
them with having presented General
VIM. Henry Harrison with a petit
coat. He has learned something, in
certain branches, since 1910, though
his late speeches at Columbus prove
him as great wind-bag and unprin-
cipled demagogue as ever.-[Circle-

The Rest Eyideuc,

The following letter from Rev. E. S. Best Pastor
of the NJ. E. Church. Natick, Mass, will be read
with interest by many physicians; also those suf-
ferng from the same disease as afflicted the son OF
the Rev. e. ,. Best. No person can doubt this ties
timony, as there is no doubt about the curative
power of VEGETINE.
NATICK, MASS, Jan. /, 1873.
MR.. II. R. STEVENS:
Dear Sir-We have good reason for regarding
your NEGETlNE medicine of the greatest value
We feel assured that il has been the of saw
ing our sons life. He is now seventeen years OF
age; for the last two years he has suffered from
necrosis of his leg caused by scrofuous affection.
and far reduced that nearly all who saw
him thought his recovery impossible. A council of
able physicians could give but the faintcst hope
of his rallying; two of the number declaring that
he was beyond the reach of human remedies, that
even amputatiOn could not save him, as he had not
vigOr enough to endure the operation. just then
we commenced giving him VEGET1NE and from
that time TO the present he has been continuously
improving. He has lately resumed studies, thrown
away his crutches and cane, and walks about cheer
fully and strong.
Though there is some discharge from the OPEN
ing where his limb was lanced, have the fullest
confidence that in little time he will be perfectly
cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles of VEG
ETINE, but lately but little, he declares be
is too well to be taking medicine.
Respectfully yonrs,
+. S. BEST.

Letter from MaysViIIe, KY.
MAYsv1LLE, KY, July 4, 1875.

MAYsv1LLE, KY, July 4, 1875.
Having left home some days since,
1 drop a line to talk to you about
crops, &c.
We came to Cincinnati with Con-
duetor Mutton, from Cincinnati to
Maysville on the fine steamer Wild
wood. The crops all along the road
looked fine, with the exception of
some pieces of wheat and some of
the corn on flat land from Lynchburg
to Blanchester. But the majority
of crops look fine, especially in this
section of the country.
The corn here is out in tassel, the
early wheat all cut; oats splendid
potatoes fine; beets, and in fact
everything, looks splendid.
Maysville is quite an old town,
from its appearance. I learn that
our neighbor and townsman, Frank
Armstrong, has quite a fine lot of
property over here.
Yours, HIGHLANDER.

The Wool CLIP of this county has near.
ly all been sold. Messrs. Ellifritz, Miller
& Quinn, and Bumgarner & Elliott, have
been the only buyers in this market.
About 60, 900 lbs. have been purchased by
the former firm, most of which has been
shipped to Philadelphia. Their purchases
of Hie'ilan, county wool this year show 6
falling-of of about 20 per cent. on those Of
last year. Messrs. Bumgarner & Elliott
have probably bought from 6,OOO to 5000
lbs, all the product of this county.
The prices paid here have ranged from
80 to 80 cents, for the various grades of un-
washed, fleece and tub-washed. The mar
ket is now 20 &c higher than the opening
prices of the season, but the receipts are
very light.

The WHEAT HARVEST in this county gen
orally commenced last week. Reports ART
very unfavorable as to the yield. Field'
which were thought to be tolerably good
prove to be very inferior, the wheat stand
ing very thin on the ground, and many Of
the heads being poorly filled. The wei
weather has caused rust to some extent
which will seriously injure both the grain
and straw.
Instead of half a crop, which many
thought might be realized in this county, the
general opinion now is that there will moi
be third of an average yield.

Hayes as a Soldier.

The editor of the Bryan Press has
this personal testimony:
1t was our good fortune to serve
under his immediate command, and
we can bear witness both to his gal
lantry in the field and to his kind
ness and consideration for the vel
fare of his men, Probably no officer
in the service was more universally
loved and admired than he. He
was elected to Congress during Sher-
idan's famous Shenandoah campaign,
but did not abandon the field until
the last rebel had laid down his arms.

II. r. STEVENS, ESQ.,: Dear Sir-It is as much
from sense of duty of gratitude that write to
say that your VEGETINE-even if it is a patent
medicine-has been of great help to me when MOTH
ing else seemed TO avail which l could safely use.
Either excessive mental labor unusual care brings
upon me a nervous exhaustion that desperately
needs Sleep but desperately defies it. Night af-
ter night the poor, tire1 body sues for sleep until
the day-dawn is welcomed back, and we begin our
work tired out with almost fruitless chase after
rest. Now have found that a little VEGETINE
taken Just before 1 retire gives sweet immedi-
ate sleep, and without any of the evil effects of the
usual narcotics. think two things would tend to
make brain-workers sleep. 1st-A little less work
2d-A little more YEGETINE. This prescription
has helped me.
Now have particular horror of "patent medi-
cine, J." but have greater horror of being afraid
to tell the straight ont truth. The yEGETINH has
helped me- and own il up.

Three Points for Consideration

During the past five years the VEGETINE has been
steadily working itself into public favor, and those
who were at first most ncredulOus in regard to its
merits are now its most ardent friends and sup
porters.
There are three essential causes for those having
such horror of patent medicines, changing their
opinion and lending their influence toward the adj
vancement of VEGETINE. 1st-It is an honestly
prepared medicine from barks, roots and herbs.
2d-It honestly accompshes all that is claimed for
it, without leaving any bad effects in the system.
3d-lt presents honest vouchers in testimonials from
honest, well-knOwn citizens, whose signatures are
a sufficient guarantee of their earnestness in the
matter. Taking into consideration the vast quanti-
ty of medicine brought conspicuously before the
public through the flaming advertisements in the
uiDe vouchers of what it has done, we should be
pardoned for manifesiing small degree of pride
in presenting the following testimonial from Rev.
J. S. DICKERSON, D. D., the popular and ever
genial pastor of the South Baptist Church, Boston.
