A TRAGIC affair occurred at Iowa

Sam tairall, of Johnson county, was
involved and q sufferer Fairall has
been for few years past going to
The bad, having from position Of
influence and wealth sunk to the lev
CT of sot. For some time he has
lived IN open adultery with widow
in Iowa City, deserving his home and
bringing disgrace and sorrow to his
family. This state of things culmin-
ated q few days ago in his indict-
ment, on complaint of his wife, for
adultery. Subsequent to this and at
the time above mentioned, FairalI
went with a crowd of his friends to
the premises occupied by his wife,
and attempted to remove some stock
which he had sold. He was resisted
by his brothcr-in-law, Samuel Work
man, and his own son, and IN the me.
lee that ensued, during which Falrall
fred several shots with 9 revolver,
one at his son, according to the ac-
CONT, he was himself hit III the
shoulder with charge Of buckshot
fred from shotgun in the hands OF

and Fair;i:l is at leisure to reflect up
Oh miSfortunes for which he is almost
wholly responsible.

T4E Legislature has taken hold of
the three-card monte nuisance with
a promptness that bodies no good to
the swindlers. Bills have already
been introduced in both Houses for
an act that shall give railroad con-
ductors, agents ofralroads steamboat
or stage lines, hotel keepers, mana
gers of fairs and exhibitions, the
power to arrest the monte men with
out warrant and turn them over to
the nearest magistrate. 1t also makes
the jurisdiction of all courts, includ'
ing Justices Of the peace, co-cxtensive
with the limits of the State for the
enforcement of the law. The penalty
upon conviction is imprisonment IN
the penitentiary. SO far SO good.
Now if some way can be found to
make railroad conductors willing to
arrest the swindlers when they see
them, the evil may be stayed.

THE first official act of Gov. Kirk
wood, was the disappointment of N
B. Baker to the Office of Adjutant
General of the State. AS the office
is understood to be continued as a
sinecure for Gen. Baker in token of
his valuable and patriotic services
during the war, the action of Gov.
Kirkwood was appropriate.

tureSome statement to make in the
State where baked beans had their
origin, and where the dish is one Of

the only effect of the reverend gentle
mans startling declaration upon his
audience was to inspire them with a
high appreciation of the gastronomic
taste of his sulphurous majesty.
In view of the airy character of
many sermons, it will, however, be
conceded that baked beans may
very properly be dispensed with, or
eaten sparingly by the clergy.

was employed in the United States
Treasury Department, before the plan
of destroying paper money by chopping
it in pieces came in vogue, to burn the

department being used for the purpose.
One day he was placing bundles of the
notes in the furnace, when one package
containing thousands of dollars became
loosened. He examined ii closely, and

a Head of Grass in Mans Lung

buffalo Express.
=. One day during the haying season of
|.1075 son of John Haner, who lives
some three miles from the village of
Sinclearville, while pitching off load
of hay in the barn, in some way drew a
full head of timothy grass into one of
his lungs. AT the moment he did not,
it seems, realize that he had drawn so
ugly foreign substance into the air
passage, being SO occupied, probably,
with his work that he had no thought
of the grass-head in his mouth. Soon
after he was taken sick and his physi-
clan pronounced his disease pneumon-
la. Ere long grave fears were enter
tanned that the young man was going
into a quick consumption. The symp-
toms of phthisis were decidedly marked
The expectoration was very copious.
To the surprise of many, the suff erer
began to convalesce SO that he was able
to be about. Recently, however, he
was worse, and on Thursday of last
week the head of grass, which had
been in the right lung SO long, was
thrown out in paroxysm of coughing.
Hopes are now entertained that, if the
lung has not undergone too much dis
organization, the young man will re-
cover. The head of grass is in the
possession of Drs. Harrison and Stevens.

permitted to play once more his
favorite game at the place of execu-
ton, and then, he said he would sub
NIT without murmur. As the last
prayer Of the dying man, his request
was granted. When he arrived at the
solemn spot he found everything pre-
pared, and the pins being set up and
the bowls ready, he played with no lit
tie earnestnesS.
