DECORATION Day IN TIpToN.-
The public ceremonies commemora-
tive Of our fallen heroes were con-
Quoted in accordance with the an
nouncements previously made. Pune
tually at four o'clock P. M. on
Tuesday, the 3oth, the church bells
gave the signal for assembling at
Monument Square, and a numerous
concourse of people answered the
CALL
After music by the band an appro-
pirate prayer was offered by the Rev.
+. c. Wolfe of the NJ. +. church,
followed by music. Capt. Z. H..
Pound then took the stand and de-
livered an eloquent, able and peril
nent address, riveting the attention
of the large audience until the clos
ing sentence. We would refer more
fully to this admirable speech were
it not that we hope to present it in
full in next issue of the ADVERTISER.
The address was followed by music
which concluded the public cere-
monies of the day.
Mr.. Ross, of the High School, as
sisted by number of ladies, had
tastefully decorated the monument,
and to him ana to these ladies thanks
are due for their labor and zeal. But
what shall be said of the young men
of Upton who seem to be SO utterly
devoid Of both patriotism and gal
lantry that they either declined o.
neglected to render any assistance
whatever to the ladies in this which
should be labor Of duty and love.

PUBLIC Schools. - The Upton
Public Schools on last Friday con-
cluded the work of the current year.
The examinations occupied the entire
week, but there was no parade or ex-
citemcnt to break in upon the regu-
lar work. The results Of the years s
labor were evidenced during exanin-
alton in way that spoke well both
for teachers and pupils-in some in
stances remarkably we'll and richly
deserving more than this passing
notice. The new school year will
begin in September, and teachers
for all the departments are to be en-
gagged in the interim.

NEW TRIAL.-This community was
very much surprised last Saturday by
the information that Judge Shane had
granted new trial in the case of the
State against George Hawkins. The
motion for a new trial for both Haw-
kins and Comstock was argued at
Anamosa on Friday last, by Col.
Preston on the part Of the defendants
and Capt. Smith for the State. The
arguments of counsel were quite ex-
tended, occupying half the day, and
resulted in giving a new trial to
Hawkins only. OF the grounds on
which the motion was thus far sue
cessful we are not informed, but they
certainly must have been well taken
to induce the court TO set aside the
verdict. In Comstock's case, upon
failure to obtain a new trial, Col.
Preston filed bill Of exceptions and
took the initial steps toward an ap-
peal to the Supreme Court. The
sentence of the court had not been
made known at latest advices.

TIE BIG Snow.-Accepting the
criticisms Of the public press and the
voice Of public opinion as our guide,
j, must be acknowledged that Cooper,
Bailey & Co.'s Great International
Ten Allied Show in One is the largest,
best organized and most complete
combination that ever travelled
through America. 1t is transported
by rail, and requires forty-three cars
to move it from place to place, by
far the largest number of cars ever
required to :ranspor. any ether rail
road travelling show. Its mammoth
pavlions cover nearly four heres Of
ground, and when placed in po-
silion resemble city Of tents. The
number of employees attached to the
company is the largest force ever
employed by circus. Its menagerie
has been carefully selected by a we'll
known naturalist and contains many
rare animals. The museum, aquarium
and aviary are large, well arranged
and affords rare source Of
amusement and instruction. James
Robinson, the challenge champion
bare back rider Of the world, is with
the Great international, yet he only
forms one of bright array of star
performers, selected from the most
celebrated in the land. The grand
street parade is special feature of
this concern, and it is said to be the
most magnificent holiday pageant
ever presented to the public gaze.
In it are seen elephants in harness,
giraffes in harness, camels in harness,
magnificent tableaux cars, grand
chariots, glstening with FURNISHED
gold, beautiful horses, pretty ponies,
and everything else to attract and
delight the eye. No one should miss
this grand free holiday exhibition,
and no one should fail to visit the
greatest Of great shows, which will
exhibit in Upton, Wednesday, June
2lst.

HYMEN AND MARs.-A shooting
affray that narrowly escaped being
fatal, and as it was, proved quite
serious in its results, took place on
our streets last Monday evening.
Mr.. Jas. w. Brown made his advent
on this scene of action last Fair time
under unfavorable circumstances, but
subsequent events seemed conclusive
that his worst fault in that affair was
like dog Trays, that of being in bad
company. Ever since then he has
made his home here, and has gained
the reputation of sober, industrious
and well disposed young man. But
as the time passed away which en-
ablcd him to do this, his extending
acquaintance led him into a circle
which exposed his susceptible heart
to charms it could not, and probably
did not wish to resist; and so in due
course the preliminaries were all ar
ranged for his marriage with Miss
Kate Cottrell, young lady of legal
age and fully competent to choose
for herself. This marriage was duly
consummated, r. Pritchard, J. P, Off
cia.ing, at the residence of VIM.
Bagley, Esq, Monday forenoon--and
this in spite Of dire threats on the
part Of some Of the relatives Of the
young lady that Brown should not
marry her; they would kill him if he
did. This spirit went so far that a
few evenings before the marriage an
effort was made to get Brown out of
house where he was in company
with the girl with the avowed pur-
pose of vengeance.
John Cottrell, the young man SEN
fenced by Judge Shane for his at
tack on the Lang boy, was violent in
his denunciations of Brown and his
threats to kill him if the marriage was
not deferred, giving the sickness of
Mr.. Cottrell, ST., as a reason. Al
though not at all turned aside from
his purpose to marry, the threats led
Mr.. Brown to provide himself with a
revolver Monday morning and to tell
the city marshal Of the situation.
Nothing belligerent transpired dur
ing the day, though Brown several
times noticed Cottrell following him
at distance, until the latter intrud-
ed himself into Mr.. Bagley's, where
the former was eating supper, and de-
clared his intention to shoot him on
sight. Mr.. B., partly by force and
partly by persuasion, got Cottrell out
Of doors, and shortly after Brown
came out and went up. street in com
pany with John Keeping. Observ
ing Cottrell following him on tn,
other side Of the street, he cooked
his revolver, and as he crossed from
the City Drug Store to Wallace's th'
two men faced each other with Cot
trell standing just at the curb by th'
clothing store. When they wer'

THE new Clarence newspaper is
very fearful that Upton grain buyers
lost money last winter by paying
away over prices at surrounding
towns, and very certain that they are
not going to do SO any more. All
this it gets of, beside sundry theories
regarding rebate on freight contracts,
which it throws in as explanatory,
and which are luminous enough to
intensity the darkness of Egypt.
Clarence used to be good shipping
point and there is no reason why she
should not maintain her prominence,
but it will not be done by squealing
about the high prices paid elsewhere.

A Card.

Van feels justified in saying to the
public that his styles are leading ones.
as he has had his attention called to
the fact several times by seeing cop
les of his originals issued in town.
Therefore, if you want to get the
originals, and not copies, in the way
of stylish hat or bonnet you are now
well aware that Van can furnish them
at prices that will astonish you. when
you examine the quality. Goods at
headquarters always save money; and
it is satisfaction to know that his
styles are his own.

with pitcher of water in his hand,

violence insomuch that the pitcher
was shattered either against the wall
or the sidewalk quite severely cutting
the hand Of the holder. Parties
standing by at once interfered and no
further damage seems to have been
done. Both were arrested and the
aggressor fined twelve dollars
which he at once forked over re-
marking to the Mayor that as that
was just enough to pay for lamp
post he would like to have one set in
front of his house.

the honest statesman, 'tho Democrat
Observation-Disclosures B. Hayes. The
nomination of Hayes was accomplished,
as we predicted, by the union of promi-
nent candidates for the same position
in an auti-Blaine fight. We believe
that all the candidates in the fight were
friendly to Hayes, for second choice.
Had Blaine dropped from the contest,
most of his strength too would have
gone, like Morton's and Brlstow's, to
Hayes. After mature deliberation, the
prominent Republicans and Republican
journals of tho country have come to
conclusion that Hayes nomination was
the strongest that could have been
made. His nomination was a death
blow TO what was left of the "Indepen-
DENTS" "Greelyitcs," "Reformers, etc.
All of these elements are rapidly fall
ing back into the Republican ranks,
under the Hayes and Wheeler banner.
The Republican party is to-day stronger
than il has been since 1864. The nomina-
ton OF Hayes was bombshell cas-: into
the Democratic ranks. With blanched
cheeks AMI gasping for breath the
Democra; asks, "What shall | do TO
be saved 2" That Confederate invosti.
eating committee Is appalled, at the
prospect. They have no hope of "get.
ting in their little work" on Rutherford,
and have prematurely exploded all THEN
powder upon candidate that was not
nominated after all. There is q terrible
comm0tion among the Democrats, and
all their bright visions of Democratic
victory this fall have been metamor.
phosod into gloomy and wretchcd fore,
bodings. They feel that the man who
has beaten such wheel horses Of Democ.
racv as Thurman, Pendleton and Allen,
will easily beat TIldcn or Hcnricks.
While the Democrats have reason to be
depressed, there is now no wedge tC
divide the Republican ranks, no heart
burnings to be healed, no sore-heads to
be cnioied, and ali is serene and tranquil

taxes to pay, or if he does, be may have
made enough in witness fees in the case
recently tried in Ottawa county to pay
his proportion Of the increase, but those
who were not witnesses, and are obliged
to raise our taxes by hard labor, look
upon the transaction in an entirely diff
ferent light. If the bonds and the ex-

her again in possession of her property,

lie is rs sure of reelection as that the
sun will rise tomorrow.
During the autumn Of 1861 Gen.
Hayes was put forward Tor Congress by
his Republican friends. In response to
letter lmportuning him to accept the
nomination he wrote from camp as fol-
lows: "Thanls. have other business
just now. Any man who would leave

the whole amount required, $500 600,
will be raised. With better grace the

Gov. Hayes was born in Ohio, and is
about ffty-lour years old. He graduated
at Kenyon College; was admitted to the
