question, which was once more set
tied in favor of Upton by the elec-
tion of Cook.
The subjoined ballad was sung by
the Upton miastrels during the can
vass, and is given as one Of the me-
mentoes Of the "County Seat War;"
THE EoYs OF THE ROCHESTER, PARTY.
7sae, Teddy TIE Tier.
| spose you've heard of Teddy c, Ram,
Who wanted TO be a councilman
But his heels were tripped up by Genl Van,
And the boys Of the Rochester party.
The plot was concocted over the sieugh.
Old sam he chnekled, and .wors IL would do
There was Bisseli and sheil-heaa, they
knew were true,
Jack southern, Jake Wink, and the Boil
ton too;
Then nj Antwerp they met, with the Nor
way rats"
And they got some twenty or thirty fats

And mix helter-skelter. and cheek hy iowl,
With the boys OF the Rochester party.
Now Teddy he said ii was all in vain,
To try Upton ticket again:
lie was all for union, nc told Joe Crane
And the boys of the Rochester party.
so deep were his plans, and so cunning
his pate
That he managed the sheriff quite handy
and nate:
With the Treasurcr's office he got Bradley
straight,
And hooked Bob Long with Recorder bait
All the "npsiptnicon precinct was keen.
And at Pioneer Grove there were fun thr-

The delegates met the whole matter to tix:
Fifteen were from Cedar, from Jones county
And twenty from Linn who put in their best
licks
For the boys orthc Rochester party
Then they counted the ballots mid clamor
and noise,
And Teddy came out second best in the
choice;
Both Tony and Shsll-head did greatly re-
Joce,
When they found out that Van had the
popular voice.
For - speech then they called on Teddy by
name
And he got up and thanked them lie said.

And mix holter-skelter, aud cheek 10y Jovl
With boys ofthe Rochester party.
This was IN fact the last and deci-
sive battle of this memorable conflict,
no organized or systematic effort be-
ing sfterward made by Rochester to
regain the county seat,unless the "Jo
Fales project" In 1861, to change
the boundaries of Jackson, Jones,
Linn and Cedar counties, might be
so considered.
This last movement was got up as
pecuniary speculation, by few de-
signing persons having in view the
establishment of new county but
as it was strongly opposed by the
citizens of the several counties in
which the change was contemplated,
it died a natural death upon being
presented : she Legislature, and
thus ended the County Seat Wa.

good, We are told.
Pruning trees is an art that needs study
and experience. The end aimed at in prun-
ing is 10 prevent Che limbs from crowding
and crossing each other and to obtain top
sufficiently open to admit the sun and air TO
the inner side Of the branches, so that the
fruit growing there may be properly ripeued.
II the growth Of the young tree is carefully
watched from the beginning, with this oh
iect in view, it will rarely be necessary to
use anything but pocket-kniie for this pur-
pose. But usually there will be neglect,
and. as the tree grows, there will be branches
Of considerable size that must Ice removed.
The proper season to do this is o matter Of
serious consideration. In mild climates the
fall is recommended, but we find that o
large wound made ON q tree in the fall, in
our climate. does not heal well, the bari, be
ing killed around the cut for some distance.
Some time in March seems TO be best, but,

The RumSellei's Address,

" This thing you see here, ladies and gem
tlemen, is the product of my skill and in
dustry lie was once gentleman. lie
stood erect, moved with jubiant feet, had
countenance beaming with intelligence,
mind OF vast power, and character with
out reproach, He was loving child, a
loyal husband, a splendid citizen, before he
came into my laboratory, have worked
him over | touched his clear eyes with
crimson, and made his nose as red and ir-
regular as lump of coral. | embroidered
his checks with rum-buds and brandy bios
SONS. cracked his voice and cracked his
form. stained his character and shattered
his mind. Look ladies and gentlemen, at
this miracle of mechanism. A fit Of delir.
ium tremeus is coming on. See the artistic
contortions Of his face, His form seems
like the embodiment'oi guilty conscience.
Every vein is viper every artery is an ad.
der, each hair scorpion. Ills blood is like
liquid fire. No matter what mans reig-
ious belief is, he believes in hell when he
has the delirium tremens lie sees the devil
then. Don't go near him, dear friends. A
lighted cigar in contact with his breath
might result in fearful combustion. You
ask me Why do this kind of work. Be
cause 1t pays. 1t does not require much
brains, nor much money TO do this work.
Ladies and gentlemen, you can see plenty
OF specimens Of my work, and the work OF
men IN my calling, IN the poor-houses and
prisons and Warehouses; all over the land"
