THE Sac Sun alludes to one of our
State Insurance companies as dead
beat company" and says that wien the
adjuster of said company comes to set
tie a loss, he has the effrontery TO ask the
insured to accept half his claim. In the
next sentence the Sun puffs sundry East
crn companies as fair and equitable in
this regard; the first named on its list be-
ing the Phoenix of Hartford. The refer
ence is unfortunate. We know from
actual experience that the adjusters OF
this same Phoenix of Hartford, will spend
nearly a week, trying by every sort OF arti-
flee and sharp practice, to white down
claim of two or three thousand dollars,
and then, when they have reduced it to
the lowest possible figure in this way, will
turn to the insured, with the GOODNESS and
assurance of professional Jeremy Did
dler, and demand of him that he consent
to a further discount of 333 per cent
Talk about efirontery; the adjustcrs of the
Phoenix will discount old Impudence him.

two years ago, beside monumental check,
was chiefly remarkable for the manners
of a bully and an inordinate capacity for
whiskey.

A MOVEMENT TO RECALL Mr.. PALMER.
"A petition has been in circulation for
the past two days, and is receiving num-
erous signatures, asking the Board of Di-
rectors of this Independent School Dis
trict, to invite Prof. Wilson Palmer, now
of Ottumwa, to resume charge of our city
schools as Principal. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Palmer has severed his conncc-
ton with the Ottumwa schools, and the
resignation of Mr.. Graydon leaves a va
cancy here which a majority of our peo-
pie seem to think cannot be SO appropri-
atcly filled as by reinstating Mr.. Palmer.
The unfortunate and altogether uuwar-
rantable state of feeling that caused his for
mer resignation has wholly died out, and
those who most pertinaciously opposed
him before are now most anxious for his
return. 1t is unquestionable that our
schools never attained greater degree OF
efficacy or higher standing than when
under Mr.. Palmer's supervision. We
hope the movement for his return may
be successful

her to an uncongcnial and unworthy part

course of the proceeding the husband
who was not particularly bright-was in
formed of the demand of his spouse, par
ticularly that portion of it which involved

due consideration, he expressed his views
thus: If the old woman wants to dis

MIR. GRAYDoN RETIpEs. Mr.. L. w.
Graydon, who for the past eight months
has very acceptably and skillfully filled
the post of Principal of the Public Schools
of this city, handed in his resignation at
the last meeting of the Board of Dircc-
tors, which was accepted. The cause of
Mr.. Graydon's retirement was a very adj
vantageous proposition from the Pulver-
macher Galvanic Company, of Cincinnati,
to accept a position in the New York
agency of that company, Mr.. Graydon's
fine scientific attainments peculiarly fitting
him for the place. He is to receive SO 900
per annum, and to have labratory and
library furnished for his use. During his
short stay among us, our people have
learned to appreciate Mr.. Graydon highly,
both for his scholarship and skill as a
teacher, and for his many excellent quail
ifcations as man. While we express
the universal regret that he must leave,
we at the same time heartily congratulate
him upon the recognition of his ability,
implied in the offer he has received. His
many friends in Independence will wish
him and his success and pleasure in their
new location

that the meeting may be large one. Let

is ample reason tor us to rejoice that "a

Mr.. EDIToR:-Having noticed in your
last weeks paper notice signed by a.
Hurlbut, representing to the public that
couple of young men had been to his
house and obtained his order for small
bill of trees to besdelivered next fall, from
The Star Nursery, of Quincy, H., and
that he believes the men to be fraud,
and the paper, or order, which he signed
to have been one which might be. easily
converted into promissory note and sold.
In reply, allow us to say for the benefit
of any who may be of the same opinion
with Mr.. Hurlbut, that we are the parties
referred to and are here doing a legitimate
business, and have our certificate of agency
from the Nursery we represent, and we
are willing to have our books examined
by any who may desire to do so. Further
we desire any who may question our au-
thority, to open correspondence with

HUTToN IN TROUBLE The DELHI Mon
ttor, of last week, contains n highly
spiced narrative of certain fluctuations
that lately befell w. A. Hutton, formerly
of the Jcsup Vindicator, now publishing
paper at Earlville, called the Gazette.-
1t appears, according to the Monitors ac
count, that Hutton, in moment of
spleen, advertised one of his patrons,
Levi Douglass, photographer at Earl
vile, as dead beat " and rascal. Like
the boy who led the frsky colt to water
and tied the halter around his own body,
he soon saw where he had missed it,
and hearing of preparations for suit for
SANDER and libel, he incontinently fled
the town to avoid arrest. From Della
ware he held a telegraphic parley with the
enemy, through his attorney, who soon
informed him that the indignant Douglass
would accept $25 as full satisfaction for
the damage done by the libelous publica-
ton, upon which Hutton returned, with
dropping tailfeathers, paid the $25 cash,
and signed a agreement to make full re-
traction in his next issue, besides donating
certain items of former and future adver-
Using. These are the main incidents of
the affair, condensed from the Monitor,
and without the wood cuts and other en-
bellishments
