The Industrial Era published in

I'VE learn that Mr.. Geo. W. Epley,
near Batavia, disposed Of horse for
seventy dollars, to stranger who
paid him partly in counterfeit money.
A fact which Mr.. Epley knew nothing
of until he had to pass some of It at
the show in Ottumwa, last Saturday a
week ago, whereupon he was arrested,
and now lies in Keoknk, awaiting
trial. Mr.. Epley is still a young man

that he wonld engage in such business
knowingly. We cannot believe him

THE BEAUTY OF Our CRIMINAL

witness in a criminal case, at Des
Moines, who could not give bond for
his appearance at Court, has been kept
in Jail for three years, while the Grim

ably gone to Davcy Jones' locker, or

thought 1t was very nice, but did not
want to buy. However, he thought
he could open il, but would not bet on
doing it. At this timo the party was

amount of eight dollare. 1t was
grabbed from his hand and stsked on
the game by ono of the party. The
box was handed him to open and he
failed to unveil its mysteries. 1t is

SHIFTS or THE DEMAaoGUE.-The
hollow pretence that reform is needed in
this county is apparent to all, when it is
remembered that Carroll county pays q
lower nate Of taxation than any county in
the State, Notwithstanding the recent pro-
tracted and costly terms Of her Court, and
the extraordinary outlay for bridges and

was made public through the Baltimore

gravity Of the assertion.

John Lee Carroll, ESQ. --Sir: Your letter
Of September 30 has just reached me by this
morning mail. Until you shall see 1T to
make suitable apology for the grossness of
the language which you have 80 far forgotten
the commonest properties among gentlemen

thisthe only personal notice which think it

ST. WALLIS.
The words in parenthesis, as above
printed, were in Mr. Wallis letter, but
omitted from Mr.. CAROLS note. Mr.
Wallis, claims to have used them with the
intention Of Isacluding all possible suspi-
cion Off purpose TO assail the personal in
tegrity Of the gentlemen in question. But
these qualifying words do not extract the
sting Of his inuendo that Mr. Carroll would
yield to the corrupt associations and inhu-
ences by which Mr.. Wallis alleges he is
surrounded. Mr.. Wallis virtually admits
that he would yield under similar circum-
utances 70 such Influences, but he had no
right 10 measure Mr. Carroll by his stand
ard We therefore think that Mr.. Carroll
is justified 10 resenting the indignity. As
10 the terms he chose TO employ in doing
so, the public estimate of them must be
graduated by the gravity Of the offence.
That Mr.. Wallis should have refused to
mako the asseade honorable was to have
been expected from one who has shown
himself capable Of making SO unprovoked
aa assault upon an honorable opponent.
