rious things. 1t appears that Dcs
Moines was for time one Of the
chief stations of the gang. The opcr-
ator was registered al the Slavery
House in June last as +. i. Watkins.
AT the same time The Ahorn House
had q. Baker--not our worthy Au-
ditor. but confederate of Watkins.
The twain remained here several days
and finally left one evening. when
several counterfeit bills OIL the Ira
dcrs and Paxton banks were discov-
cred in circulation.
Not long after this several thou
sand dollars of the crooked were dis
covered under Il house i'm Eddvyille.
numerous samples of which were
brought to this city. The parties that
deposited the stuff at Eddyville were
not discovered until Detective Tyrrel,
who went from this city on his en-
rand. succeeded in bringing the entire
party in Illinois. and discovered that
the Dcs Moines Watkins and the
Sucker briggs were one and the
same party. AT EddyviIle and OF

RELIC.
Eds. C0nrier.-On the 18th inst.
visited my old friend. David Dond.
of Dond's Station. Van Buren, county.
While there he exhibited TO me what
! consider Il great curiosity, namely !:
a looking glass. which he asserts for
a fact, was brought over to this coun-
try in the even memorable MAyFLow-
Err. that brought our Pilgrim Fathers
to this new world This glass has
been handed down from one eener-
alton to another with the special
charge to keep it in the family line. as
ii was a memento or an heirloom of
the family pilgrimage. This glass is
very peculiar in its construction. Ii
is about ten by fourteen inches square.
with a very heavy framc-about four
times a. large as ordinary frames.
The glass is about one-fourth of an
inch thick. and is beveled on lis edges
like the PANEL of Il door. and on
looking into the glass near the sides
or ends. you can see two faces. The
frame looks very ancient. Originally
it was framed with high wooden
scrolls over the top. but they have
been broken off for many years. The
quicksilver on the under side has been
rubbed Off i'm many places. and has /
the appearance of being rusty. Mr.. /
Do,ld says he heard his great grand 1
mother give a history of this glass as
il had passed from one line of the /.
family to another. He say, he would |
not take $500 for il nor will he per- /
nit il 10 be SEM 10 the Centennial /
Exhibition unless he should accompa-
ny it. believe the above statements
are true. a. / have been acquainted .
with Mr.. Doud for over fifty Years.
and have never known his honor or
verariiy TO be called in question.

The Ottumwa Grcys received sixty

Our old friend John Jaeger. of Ed

Joel. Lathrop, of Coopcrville. and

us to-day and left something substan-
tial to remember them by.
We are informed that boy was

Wouldn't it be well for parents to go
through their boys pockets and see
how much of this kind of artillery is

them of such little trinkets.

They report that getting to the Hills

worse than all. the Government at

occupying the territory. Gold in
that country is chimerical toa very

reporter that they have enough of
that country, and their last relic they
disposed of to J. ]. Hadtield for the

The above record of the several
schools isa satisfactory one if we leave
out of our reckoning the number of
tardy marks. This fault of tardincss
belongs only to the few. Four I'M
excused tardimesseS or four uneX-
cnsed absences suspends the pupil
from school. This regulation is by
vote of the School Board. l trust
that this fault will be hereafter espc-
cially guarded against by both parents
and pupils.
The result of our last monthly eN-
animation show that the pupils for
the most part have given time and
and thought TO their studies.
Our monthly examinations arc
conducted as follows. Ten questions
from each of the studies passed over
| durin" the month are submitted to
the pupil and Is per cent OF the ag-
"renate number of these questions re.
auircd TO he answered correctly thai
the pupil may retain his class position
| Ifhe fails to secure the above per cent
of correct answers then a second cX'
animation is given him at the cNpira
ton of two wccks.it a second failurc,i'
the result then he is placed i'll ih'
class below where he is to remain I'M
til he can pass n satisfactory cNami
nation for his former position.
/ All those who failed nj the cXami
nation just passed arc to be re-exam
ined on Friday of this week and th'
result will determine the elias
standing of such pupils.
l should say before leaving thi
subject of our monthly examination
that of our entire number of pupil
only twenty or Whereabouts failed.
! Our new schools are well nndei
way and although there has been th'
usual amount of extra work TO b,
done which is incident to new or
CARNATIONS always, still all tn
schools in the Lincoln building ar
moving along with the same regu
larity and system that are found il
the other schools.
