Young America RunIans

BY the following, which we clip
from the Ames correspondent Of the
Burlington Gazette, it would seem
that there are some Young America
rufiians at the Iowa State Agricnltu-
raj College:
"Last Saturday considerable excite
ment prevailed throughout the col
lcge, among students and professors,
in consequence Of the doings of Fri
day night.
"It appears that some of the evil
disposed students in some way got
out of the building, intent upon doing
mischief. The first act they did was
to hang on the telegraph wire run.
ming within few steps Of the college,
three efigies, one Of Professor Welch,
one Of Prof. Macomber, professor OF
physics, and another of Prof Pope,
professor Of chemistry. On each
efiigy was written some vindictive
inscription, to make the effect more
striking. Thence they went to the
barn where Prof. Macomber keeps
his horse, and painted the poor horse
from ear to heel, giving him the ap-
pearance Of zebra.
"The next and last act was to re.
move small out house standing west
of the main building, and place it in
front of the college, with the words
Home of A. S. Welch, Black Hills,

Waterloo, Iowa, to take the place of

fitted for the place having graduated
at leading college in Germany, and
for many years dcvoting himself to

A GOOD FARMER.-In 1854, John
Renshaw, raw from Lincolnshire, En-
6 land, settled in Clear creek town
ship, on 20 acres of rough land, with
out other resource than his own
hands.
In the winter of 1856 he drove in
and sold his first hog, weight 200 ;
Peter Conboy bought it for half cash
and half trade, and Renshaw went
home with his English cars nipped
soundly by Iowa frost, almost per-
suaded that hog raising was a pain
full and profitless business. But to
his inbred energy and industry was
added soon the push and progress of
a real western man, and now he is the
owner of $50 acres of. the fattest land
in Iowa, well improved, with COM
Portable buildings, and markets his
hogs and cattle by the car load.
From last years corn crop he has
already sold two car loads of hogs.
The first marketed in the winter,
brought him about $1,000, and the
second lot, sent in last week, consist
ed Of 80 hogs averaging 3I0 pounds,
bringing him $945.OO and he has a
third car that will be ready in Sep
tember.
His hogs arc of the Berkshire and
Poland China breeds.
Besides this, he has fattened and
shipped large number of cattle, and
has 120 acres of prime corn that has
other car loads of pork under its
green husks and other thousands of
dollars safely deposited and at inter-
est on its cobs.
Such men are the bone and sinew
of this country. England and all
Europe has. thousands of snch that
belong here and should come, for
fortunes wait for their taking.-Io,ea

Some Wagons.

The Grimes Wagon Factory turned
out, last week, six wagons per day,
and this week they are doing about
the same thing.
To-day they shipped to w. W.
Campbell & CO., of Topeka, Kansas,
thirty-six wagons, two car loads.
We are glad to know that our facto-
ries arc taking the lead in the West.
What is the use Of shipping wagons
from Mishwauka and South Bend,
Indiana, to Iowa, Kansas, and Ne
braska when they can be made just as
good and fully as cheap here at home
and save freight from Indiana to

Bic SHIpMENT.-Samuel Lilburn, of
Ottumwa, the champion egg and
butter man of the Western country,
is to-day shipping to New York via
the B. & NJ. and its eastern connec-
tions, seven carloads of butter, which
will average 10000 lbs. to the car,
making say 100000 ibs. of butter, in
one shipment, which, we will venture
the assertion, is the largest shipment
of butter ever made in one lot by one
man west of Chicago.
Mr.. Lilburn has the entire lot con-
signed to himself, and will go east TO
superintend its sale.
We presume this lot of butter will
bring Mr.. Lilburn fully fifty thou
sand dollars.
The magnitude of this transaction
and the very extensive business which
Mr.. Lilburn has built up here in a
comparatively short time. shows that
the blue grass region of the Des
Moines Valley is highly adapted to
the dairy business.
Here we have the pasture and the
market in connection, and the man
who pays proper attention to the in
crease of his mich cows, is Oil the
highway to fortune.
In the meantime, we should like to
hear of another town in Iowa ship

The New York Graphic says, rs to
Bristow's man Friday: rs not there
some way to suppress Bluford Will
son? 1t is a question whether, after
his peculiar testimony before the
House committee, he ought not to
have been arrested and tried for per-
jury; but he crowns his infamy this
morning by publishing n letter over
his own name, detailing the rumors
and gossip of Washington social
scandal, which, If true, every decent
man in the country is interested in
suppressing and keeping out of sight.
1t is probably not true but, whatever
the facts may be, whipping at a carts
tail is too light punishment for man

The most unhappy man in the city

John is enterprising, and John buys
almost anything man has to sell for

on which John supposed he would be
able to turn an honest penny, but this
morning when John opened the bun

John is unhappy this morning and
will never more buy rags from any.

While the confederates groan in

While the confederates groan in
spirit over the oppression with which
they think they are threatened in
Grants late order to the army, they
retain courage and "cussedness"
enough to make the most of the oppor-
tunities they still enjoy, and evince an
irrepressible disposition to keep
things lively for their colored neigh
bors. The presiding elder of the
Methodist churches in the Gulf dis
trict of Mississippi has been hunted
away from his work, having been
threatened with violence. lie writes
to his friends that one of the local
preachers has been murdered by the
regulators" that terror reigns in
the district, and that "the whole state
is at white heat of race antagonism." /"
Mr.. Tilden should make haste to send
a "bar1" Of oil down there, and have
it poured on "the troubled waters"
or adopt some other means of reduc-
ing the inaamatory state of feeling
among his supporters. The interests
Of the country demands that terror
shall not reign anywhere within its
boundaries; and if the confederates
cannot be induced to recognize the
necessity for absolute peace and free
dom by moral suasion, they will de-
serve and receive but little sympathy
on account Of any more potential re-
straining force that may be exercised
upon them under orders from WASH
ington.-Chicogo Times.

We understand that new paper
devoted to dairy and farm interests
is to be started soon in this city. We
need few more papers in Wapello
county. Neither Blakesburg, Orman-
vile, Chillicothc, Kirkville, Marys-
vile, Bladensburg or Dahlonega
have any papers. There are only
weekly papers in Eddyville, l in FL
don, in Agency City, 4 in Ottumwa,
and l daily and a monthly-total 10.
A paper to each 230O inhabitants, and
five or six more can make fortune.
