DECALCOMAN1E.- This is the name of a
comparatively new art that is attracting
considerable attention at toe present time.
1t consists in transferring pictures which
have been printed upon paper in high and
beautiful cOlors to any object one may wish
to ornament, such as fans, work boxes,
vases, flower pots, articles of furniture, &c.
When transferred these pictures look as il
painted upon the article Ornamented, and
they are much more attractive and beauti-
tul than they would be if painted with
brush, unless executed by very skillful
artist; indeed this beautiful art offers a
complete substitute for the process of hand
painting for most purposes. The pictures
embrace great variety of subjects, such
as heads, landscapes, animals, insects,
flowers, comic figures, &c. The art is easily
acquired, and children even soon become
experts. Transferring these pictures is a
charming pastime Tor old or young. aud
serves to cultivate taste for the beauti
full. We have received from J. L. Patten
Il Co., l62 William Street, New York, who
are dealers in transfer pictures, some hand
some samples OF their goods. These gen.
tlemen will, for the small sum of ten cents,
send full instructions in this beautiful art.
together with ten handsome samples OF the
pictures, or for fifty cents they will send
one hundred attractive pictures,

Auditor for Scott County.

Over the river, in Scott county. Iowa,
two years ago, Mr. r. D. Leonard, Re-
publican, was elected auditor for the
county, by $50 majority, while at the same
time, the LiberalDemocratic ticket was
elected by about 1000 majority, This
year, with liberal majority of about 900
Mr.. Leonard is defeated by Mr.. James
Dooley. The fact is that Leonard is a
hard man to beat. About 800 Liberals
voted for him this year, and good many
Republicans probably voted for Dooley.
The ring Republicans are very sore over
the defeat of their candidate for auditor.
They worked all day along to accomplish
this one end, traded votes and printed
counterfeit tickets, but to no purpose.
The popularity of his opponent was too
great, and Mr.. Dooley goes in after very
hard fought battle against great odds.
Mr.. Dooley is very competent man
and, we doubt not will make good officer.
The returns show the following MAORI

The Growing of a Cock Nuisance.

A recent decision Of the Brompton
county court, in England, holds that the
Growing of a cock, under certain circum-
stances, is a nuisance, and ordered a yer
dict of damages for the plaintiff 1t ap-
pears that the plaintiff and defendant
occupy adjoining houses in Kensington.
The defendant had fowLhouse in his
garden, where he kept number af fowls,
and among them bantam cock, which by

ing, disturbed the plaintiff wife, who was
i'll, to such an extent that it hindered her
recovery. To keep fowls is in itself harm
less enough, certainly; but, as the judge
pointed out, legal rights may. under certain
circumstances, be pushed to excess, and
such is the case when they interfere with
another enjoyment of his or her rights.

Leonard, Dooley
Majority for DOoley


1t is reported that Pleasant Valley gave

true Mr., Doolcy's majority is but 81, but
he is elected, and there is much rejoicing
thereat, 1t consolidates tie Liberal-Dem-
ocrats of Scott county in one friendly solid
organization.
The Democrat has the following item,
which shows that there was some feeling
among the supporters of the rival candi
dates:
"Chas. Mickloth of West Davenport,
had little tussle last evening with man
named Robt. Mulcahy, over the election
news-one was a friend of r. d. Leonard
and the other a friend of James Dooley
The latter commended that Dooley was as
good as Leonard, and got knocked down;
but he got up again, and whaled Mickloth
pretty badly. Friends iuterfered aud

Horse and Buggy Stolen.

Last Saturday night, it is thought in the
fore part of the evening, horse and
buggy was stolen from the barn of Mrs
Olmstead, of this place, since when nothing
has been heard of them. A horse of
James Mascall was found standing in the
lane near his barn, the next morning, with
a bride on, which had evidently got away
from the thieves and returned, or they had
fered reward of $50 for the recovery Of
the property and thief and we can only
hope that they will be taken. The mare
was a small bay, with face and hind feet
white, with glass" eye. Open buggy,
fitted for two seats, newly painted black,
with right thill broken and wrapped with
strap. Silver mounted harness, somewhat
worn. Cambridge Chronicle.
