now succeeded in getting seed which
will produce ripe dent corn Of the large
variety in Us short time as small early
corn can be grown. We believe, that it
is Mr.. Yeoman's intention to sell por-
ton of this corn for seed to such of his
neighbors as may desire to obtain it.
Mr.. A. VA1D has removed his uphol-
stery rooms into the brick building ad-
joining Webster & Lees Livery office,
(next door to his old stand,) on Third
street near Broad, and has fitted up his
storeroom very handsomely and laid in
large stock of goods. lie is now able
to furnish all sorts Of handsome parlor
chairs, ottomans, stools, tete-a-tetcs,
easy chairs, sofas, lounges, cushions,
&C., made to order and of any desired
quality of material. His goods and de-
signs for lamberkins and window hang
ings cannot be excelled anywhere. And
one very importent circumstance in this
connection is thattyou not ouly get what
you order, made in the best manner, but
at prices from Is to 20 per cent, less
than Chicago and st. Paul prices.

while returning to this city from the
direction Of Goodhue township on Satur.
day evening last, had his team stopped
by man who sprang out suddenly from
the side of the road. At the same mo-
ment three men boarded the wagon from
behind, Mr.. Mallon had no weapon other
than horse shoe which he had thrown
into the front part of the wagon box.
He seized this and attempted to use it
but was soon overpowered, thrown from
the wagon and robbed of what money
he had in his possession. Fortunately
he escaped with no other bodily injury
than some severe bruises on the head
and back. This practice of highway
robbery is becoming too common alto
gether, and although we do not approve
of the practice of carrying firearms,
there seems to be a necessity for doing
so just now and for using them, too, ef-
fectively.'. .'. 4@,*".r

4 SINGULAR case of illness is reported
to us by Mr.. Matthew Noyes, of Mon
ticello, Iowa. A three year old child of
his was taken sick early in May, and
had frequent and severe spells of cough
ing. The doctors were puzzled by the
symptoms but finally concluded to call it
membranous Group and treated the child
for that disease. Up till about the lst
of August the child continued sick, the
disease varying in severity, and at times
being so severe as to cause serious ap-
prehensiOns of speedy fatal termination.
