THE Fatal SHOOTING, near Dixon,
related by Gazette article copied i'm
another column, was followed by an
inquest on Monday, at which the
Coroner's jury, as seems to have been
expected, found that the homicide was
justifiable.
The man Murphy arrived here with
his load of stolen poultry before eight
o'clock last week Wednesday morn
ing, and disposed of it at H. l.. Deans.
His c0untenance was such bad re-
commentator that when, = few hours
later, parties from Inland came In and
complained Of having had turkeys
stolen during the previous night,
Dean at once described Murphy as the
probable thief.
The victim of misplaced confidence
to the tune OF twenty-five dollars is
said to be one Craig; but the Gazette
Is mistaken as To his having returned
here to get warrant for Murphy's ar
rest. The warrant was sworn out
elsewhere, probably in Scott county,
and was for stealing poultry, as Craig
denies that they took anything from
him except few articles Of clothing.
Constable Van Buskirk was in town
Tuesday afternoon for the purpose Of
subpRnaing witnesses here who could
identify the man before he should be
buried. He came without subpPnas,
expecting to get them here, which he
could not do. However, Mr.. Prouty,
a brother-in-law Of Mr.. Deans who
received the poultry, returned to
Dixon with him.

COUNTY CLERKS SALARY.-Among
the recent Supreme Court decisions
the Register publishes the following
ruling in the case Of Washington
county VS. c. T. Jones. For some time
there has been mooted question In
relation to the salary Of county clerks.
The laws in relation to II are diverse
and several cases are pending In the
District Courts to determine this mat
ter. The Supreme Court held
that n county clerk cannot receive over
5000 year rs salary in any event.
no matter what amount Of probate or
other fees he may collect. III his fees
amount to more than $4,000, he must
turn over the excess to the county and
If his fees do not reach that amount
it is in the discretion of the Board Of
Supervisors whether he shall receive
more than his fees. The Court held al
SO that q clerk il entitled To such
reasonable deputy hire as the pressure
of the business of his office demands;
also that the clerk Office is practically
a salaried Office. This settles much
disputed point.

New OFFICERS AND OLD.-The
terms Of several county officers expire
with the Centennial year. Two va
cancies occur i'm the Board of Super
visors. To one Of them Mr.. Fl. G. Coe
succeeds himself The other IL caused
by the expiration of Mr.. G. p. Shell
don's term Of Office. Mr.. s. has held
number of official positions during
the years in which he has been citi-
izen of Cedar county, and we believe
he has always been accredited with
cautious aud conscientious discharge
of their duties. He will be succeeded
by Mr.. Robt. l.. Moore, of Fairfield,
who will bring to the work both hon
esty of purpose and good practical
judgment.
In the Office of county Recorder, Mr..
Chas. w. Hawley for the second time
succeeds himself. That this is the
case is very convincing proof that he
has been careful and successful
public officer.
For Clerk Of the Courts, Mr.. VIM.
II. Van Ness will give place to Mr..
t. {. Prescott, Of Durant. For four
years Mr.. Van Ness has discharged
the important and onerous duties of
this office in manner which so far az
we know, has never earned him other
than hearty praise. Certain II /. that
the complicated machinery Of the
Office, which at best is not more than
two-thiris put into gear by the stat
utes, has run most smoothly and sys-
tematically, as every one who has had
occasion to do business there will tcs-
tify. That his mantle is to fall upon
such worthy and capable shoulders as
those Of Mr.. Prescott will help to
reconcile to the loss Of his Official SER
vices.

THE following is from Iowa Agri-
cultural Report" for 1875, being an ex-
tract from the report Of E. NJ. Brink,
Secretary of the Cedar county Fair
Association, and relating, of course, to
Cedar county:
"But little attention is given to tim
Der culture or planting Of groves for
ornament or protection. There are no
exemptions under the law. Orchards
are failure.
1.-The law restraining stock has not
been beneficial. Ill feeling between
neighbors, disregard Of the condition
of fences and disposition to violate
the law, are among the results"
Certainly orchards are not q failure
in Cedar county; and just rs certainly
are u great many groves being annu-
ally set out for ornament or protec-
ton. We do not pretend to be posted
on the results Of the herd law, but are
inclined to think that many will dis
pute the conclusion arrived ct by Sec
rotary Brink.

The PrOdIS0l.

1nheritors of vast wealth are
proverbially spendthrifts. The gol.
den ore is dug from the mine, refined
and coined, by the labor of other hands
and the sweat of other brows. Like
children playing with an expensive
toy, they can form no just estimate
of its value. When the donor weighed
it, he east into the balance 81 many
days of unremitting and fatiguing
toll, so many anxious and sleepless
nights, so much sclf-denial, and SO
much care. But the inheritor into
his balance throws only-pleasure.
The one, values 1t by what ii cost
him; the other, for what it will pur-
chase. Like the prodigal in the Scrip
ture parable he thoughtlessly expends
1t to crafty the caprice and cravings
of his nature. Then comes the last
seene-the misery, the remorse, and
the long and wearisome journey back
to the home Of frugal industry. But
there are other prodigals. On her
favorites our bounteous parent, Nature,
has lavished her richest treasure
health. But the prodigal values it
lightly, for it costs him naught, and
recklessly squanders 1t in riotous
living. Present pleasure obscures
future want. Soon the curtain rises
on the last scene. We see him help
less, impoverished--the rich treasures
Of body and mind all lost-in misery
and despair. Remorseful Concience
holds up to him the mirror of memory.
In his own reckless folly he perceives
the cause of his present pain. He re-
solves to return. The journey Is long
and tedious, but if he perseveringly
follows the right road, he will at length
see the haven of his hopes in the dis
lance, and Nature, seeing her invalid
child afar off, will come out 10 meet
him, and receive him back with love
and blessing. To find the right road
homeward, the suffering prodigal
should read 1.-The Peoples Common

SCHOOL RHEroRIcALs.-As last
week concluded the fall term of our
Public schools, some of the Depart
ment> made little effort in the way
of Rhetorical Exercises, which were
quite largely attended by parents and
friends. Miss Douglass intermediate
Department held forth" on Thurs
day afternoon, concerning which we
have no report other than the general
one that il was very good indeed.
The Second Primary, Miss Jones,
occupied the time until recess Frida v
afternoon -and a. no notice had he en-
given that the usual school hours
would not be observed, several who
desired to visit that Department
were disappointed by arriving after all
was over there. The recitations, dia-
logucs and singing, of which the ex-
ercise- consisted, were exccllently per-
formed by the little ones If the reg
ular school work was not too much
disturbed by the two weeks of prepar-
alton for this performance, no criti-
cism would be In order other than re-
gar,iiny the confusion in the room
which was probably owing to visitors
and other unusual circumstances.
The High School Is divided, for the
purpose Of such exercises, into two
sections Irvings and the Emer-
sonians. The programme on Friday
afternoon was drawn equally from
each section, and was evidence that
healthy and praise-worthy emula-
ton has arisen between them the re-
suits Of which on this occasion we can
heartily commend. aud all the more
heartily rs we are informed that the
entire work of selection and prepare
ton was done by the pupils them
selves and in such way that the reg
ular routine Of stuly and recitation 3
was not affected. Some of the essays
We're very good, and several Of the
Rotations and readings were excep-
tionally well rendered. The grain OF
criticism which is usually amalgama-
ted with such a complimen;-to vim
dictate the commentators profundity,
perhaps-must In this case be devoted
to the nadgnitutiinosity Of some of the
subjects chosen by the essayists, and
to the fact that many disclaimers took
their hooks TO the rostrum with them.
The latter Is a practice which de-
stroys the speakers self-confidence
and makes the recitation come limp
ingly, no matter how well il may
have been memDriZed.
