new buildings now in progress add con-
siderable to the size and appearance of
our town.
The Good Templars' Lodge seems
to be in flourishing condition, for last
week instead of being satisfied with
their usual weekly meeting they held
semi-weekly sessions.
A few weeks ago the community at
Fairpoint and vicinity at large were
called to mourn the death of the Grange.
And it seems more sad when we re-
member that its decease was untimelv
and caused by neglect and inactivity of
some of its supporters. There were
some members who were true and loval
and though they stood their ground
bravely were unable to ward off the
fatal blow.
We have sabbath school and preach
ing nearly every Sunday in the town
hall, and also German service at the
school house.
AS brevity is the order of the day l
will close. Yours with respect,

The Big Show.

COMING TO RED WING TUESDAY, JU-
In adding our views to the almost
universal expression of favor accorded
the entertainment given by the Cooper,
Bailey & Co. International Ten Allied
Show on the 23d, we do but a plain
duty. The mammoth tents were spread
on the corner of Broadway and Baldwin
streets, and hundreds thronged there
both at the day and evening entertain
ments. The menagerie, which contain
ed as handsome pair of Bengal tigers
as ever crossed the Missouri river, a
large and beautiful giraffe, a baby
elephant, baby dromedary and three
baby monkeys, five elephants of different
species, the most horrid and savage
hyenas (man enters we ever viewed, a
very handsome little zebra and some
leopards Of beauty, and the Asiatic
ostrich, with other fine selections of
birds, with many other animals we will
not here mention, placed the visitor in
good trim for entering the pavilion to
witness the fine circus performance,
which is provided with those very con-
venient arrangements, cushioned seats.
The circus is one of the best travelling.
The fine riding of James Robinson, the
champion bareback rider of the world,
is truly wonderful and without defect,
whilst the coolness of his little son
Eugene can do nothing but create the
greatest admiration. Mr.. German as a
hurdle rider stands, we think. without
an equal, whilst the fine horsemanship
displayed by Pauline Lee is both new
and highly pleasing. We would be do
ing injustice did we not mention the
gymnasts, whose feats are equalled by
few, if any. No ''humbug'' about this
show. They have no inferior actors, a
very excellent comedian in the person
Of Pete Conkling, and last, though not
by any means least, gentlemanly atten-
dant upon their patrons in the person
of W. G. Crowley, who takes especial
pains to make all comfortable. At
least five thousand people witnessed
their evenings performance, and We
have as yet heard no words derogatory
of little Council Bluffs Iora Da;lv

We are glad to announce that not
withstanding the exceedingly large num-
Der of people in the city yesterday, and
the firing, music, etc., we have not a sim
gle accident Of moment to report. Not
one runaway occurred, although several
horses were badly frightened. We have
heard Of but two persons being hurt
one boy who was knocked down in the
wheelbarrow race, and a lady who fell
in attempting to jump from a wagon.

some Of your readers. We have been

are looking pretty yellow and rusty,

ise more abundant harvest.

Jottings by the Way.
PHILADELPHIA, June "a, =

PHILADELPHIA, June "a, '76.
Ed. Grange -4drance:
According to promise send you a
brief account of our trip, although with
me travelling and writing don't agree.
AS you already know, we left Red
Wing on Monday, arriving in Chicago
on Tuesday morning. Stayed over
that day, viewing sights, seeing the
grain elevator, and was much surprised
at the poor quality of wheat graded
as No. 2 wheat.
Left Chicago in the evening, travel
ing through portions of Illinois, Indiana,
and Ohio. The winter wheat is more
than half killed out, but what is left
appeared pretty good and all headed
out. Was much disappointed in corn,
having expected to find it at least one
foot high, instead of that, it is not near
" as far advanced as it is in Minnesota.
Arrived at Pittsburg about II
o'clock Wednesday. This is the
smokiest hole I was ever in. Made a
very short stay, leaving for Harrisburg,
and travelling through the coal and iron
region. In fact, the whole country
appears to be one vast coal field. The
road from Pittsburg to Harrisburg
crosses the Allegheny mountains, and
we were delighted with the most grand
and varying scenery have. ever seen.
Arriving at Harrisburg at Il o clock
at night, we staid over and took the
morning train for Baltimore. Here the
road follows the beautiful Susquehan-
nah river for about 20 miles, through
splendid farming country. Wheat all
ripe and several fields already cut, but
corn very backward.
We got to Baltimore, but did not
stop as we were bound for Washington.
Indeed we saw very little of Baltimore
city, for the railroad runs through a
long tunnel right under the upper por-
tion of the city. We arrived in Wash
ington about 10 o'clock a. m. and made
flying visits to the Capitol, Treasury,
Post Office, Smithsonian Institute,
Washington monument, and most Of
the other important points.
was much pleased with the Capitol
building and consider it one of the finest
l have ever seen; (and, as for site, the
tnest.) 1t is building the nation may
well be proud of. The weather was
very hot, and we got very tired.
Our next point being Philadelphia,
we left Washingington and arrived at
Philadelphia during Thursday night.
Breakfasted in Philadelphia and took
the first train for the Grange Encamp-
ment, where We are at present located.
This is a very comfortable, roomy place,
but not half filled, within three miles
Of the Exhibition grounds.
We have spent one day at the Exhi-
blt'on, but you must not expect me to
describe it as that is impossible. All
can say is, like Domino Sampson,
"prod'gious!" I think that every
person in these United States who can
afford it ought to come. There is
everything here from pin to locomo-
tive, and about all the productions of
the earth. Weather delightful. Prices
are not ex0rhitant wv H.um

HORSE POWERS.

Important improvements have been made.
IN the horse powers, and among the new
machines in this years catalogue, we find the
following:
Six-horse Mounted and Down Pitts Power.
four-wheel Woodbury. Power, s, 10 and
IL horse.
The ten and t'celre Horse, 4-wheel New
Woodbury., will have Rerersible Bull Wheels
giving chance, when worn On one side, to re-
verse the wheel and bring the wear on a new
part,
Also, patent levers, powerful brakes, and
other new and admirable improvements.
on the Pitts Mounted Power this year, we
extend the brace rod to the end of the lever.

Although superior machine previously, has
been improved as follows:
Adjustable boxes are added to tighten the
rakes without shortening them.
A new attachment to drive the elevator,
diminishing both noise and friction.
A sheet iron floor under the grain rake; a
great improvement.
A seed and chess box, preventing escape Of
foul seeds, &C.
We give Il No. Grain Taller with each
Separator sold.
An improved sheet-iron seive will be furn-
ished with each Separator sold.
We also make for the first time, a combined
timothy and flax seive; and several others
which we have not space to- enumerate.
The Company are now making new 20 inch

and new 26 inch Cylinder Apron Separator,

The verdict in the Tweed case is TO be
appealed from by the defence. Mr.. Dudley
Field, when asked last evening what he intend
ed to do hereafter, said; 1--WE have reduced the
claim OF the plaintiffs by more than g., 10000
and we exc CT TO beat them entirely There are
great many questions Of law aud fact involved
In the Case. These will have TO De reviewed in a
higher court. first before three Judges OF the
Supreme Court, and " they decide against us,
then We will 20 TO the Court OF Appeals We
think that upon the law and fac 4 the plaintiffs
are not entitled to recover anything. and we IN
tend to test their right In the proper legal form"
Mr.. Field exclaimed that the suit was To re-
cover CO. 600, exclusive OF Interest, and that
the Jury awarded t4,70O,0OO, as principal. He
said that he did not see where the city could re-
cover ANYTHING under the verdict. The officers
could md no property to sttach when the suits
were begun, and there Is no property that they
will do any better with the executions of the
court.
