The VILLAIN CAuGHr.-The State
Register says: sThe man who at
tempted to murder a traveller, be-
tween DE Soto and Van Meter, last
Monday, was arrested in Prairie
City Thursday and was taken to De
Soto on the early train yesterday
morning. He still had in his posses
sion the team and harness that he had
taken from the man whom no left for
dead. He gives his namc as Jasper
Mason, and IL well known in Prairie
City. From postal card from De
Soto we learn that the intended VIC
tim IL still alive but reason has not
yet reformed. The effects Of chloro-
form given him by the rufilan before
he committed the deed have not yet
worn OF and that the man is still be-
tween life and death, though there Is
. good psospect that he will live to
confront the would-be brutal MUIR
derer in court"

EDS. COURIER: A travelling CORES
pendent of the Chicago Standard,
after paying a handsome compliment
to our State, writes as follows of our
city:
"Ottumwa IL one Of the best BUSH
ness centers in this goodly state.
Were 1t not for the stabbings, shoot
ings, robbings, and frequent fight
ings on its streets from tho first, OF
tumwa would have been the first
great central city in all that region.
1t does, however, heavy business
over the various railroads that radi-
ate from it in all directions"
A stranger reading the foregoing
from SO respectable journal as the
Standard, might be led to conclude
that our city was most dangerous
place to live in that all that was nec-
essary in order to see q flrst-class
fight or robbery or shooting ARRAY
was to walk on our streets. Now, is
that the truthp Is not the reverse Of
that the truth? What Ottumwa was
"from tho first" 1 know not but I do
know from five years residence in
it that there is not better governed,
a more Teaceable city in the State 1
do know that life and property here
are as safe as in any other city in the
State do know that our officials are
as honest and as efficient az the same
number Of officers in any other city
in the State. And I know more than
that; that our city Marshal, as an
officer, has no superior in this State,
or any other adjoining it; he is vigi-
liant, (almost omnipre ent), but eff
cicnt, prompt and faithful, yet hu-
name, and Think our city exceeding
II fortunate in procuring the services
of such man.
1t seems to me unfortunate that
some men are 80 egotistical that they
undertake to write up city like ours
on few hours acquaintance. Would
it not be better not to write at all if
they had not the time to learn the
whole truth, and thus save themselves
the modification Of circulating what
proves afterward to be false, however
good their intentions. c..

Mr.. IIeadly is the last man to have
elegant grapes in the market. His
Concords arc now as fresh as Others
were thirty days ago. He accom-
plishes this result by mnlching his
vines after the ground thoroughly
freezes, with good coat of straw
This keeps his grapes from blossom
ing out early, as the mulch keeps the
frost from coming out until late and
thus it happens that Mr.. Headly has
superb grapes long after competition
has ceased in the market.

thrown away on the intelligent grow

noon bold, bad boy who lives on Co

mother said: mo, my darling boy.

you tease me about it, I will waffle
your tender cuticule with the unkind
end of cheerful skate strap" So the
bold, bad boy closed the debate with a
sigh, and when the yeas and nays were
called his motion did not prevail, and
the house soon afteradjourned. But the
boy went out of the yard by the alleyway.
and took off his shoes and stockings,
and hid them behind the wood-pile. and
scudded merrily off to school. and eyery-
body admired his fat. muddy bare feet.
But when he got out of school the ground
was covered with snow, and he had a
very solemn time hippi,y hopping back

Mr.. SKIpMoRE' BUeLE.-Mr. Peter
Skidmore, of Germantown, plays a lit.
tie on the bugle. One night last sum-
mer he went into the parlor in the dark
and felt over the top Of the piano for
the horn. 1t happened that his aunt
from Penn's Grove had been there that
day, and had left her brass ear trumpet
lying on the piano, and Peter got hold
of this without perceiving the mistake,
as the two were of similar shape.
He took it in his hand and went out
on the porch where Miss Mills was
sitting talking to his sister. He asked
Miss Mills if she was fond of music on
the horn, and when she said she adored
it, be asked her how she would like him
to play Ever of Thee" and she said
that was the only tune she cared any
thing for.
So Peter put the small end of the
trumpet to his lips and blew. He blew
and blew. Then he blew some more,
and then he drew fresh. breath and
blew again. The only sound that came
was a hollow moan, which sounded SO
queerly in the darkness that Miss Mills
asked him if he was not well. And
when he said he was, she said that he
went exactly like a second cousin Of
hers that had the asthma
Then Peter remarked that somehow
the horn was out Of order for Ever OF
Thee" but if Miss Mills would like to
hear "Sweely l dreamed, love-" he
