Pine horses.

George Whitson, the well known
horse shipper, sent sixteen horses to
his branch sale stable, l24th street,
New York, this morning, which were
the finest lot Of horses for the NUM-
Der together that we have noticed
for years. He informed rs that he
picked up most Of these In the neigh
borhood of Fairfield and Birming-
ham and that the farmers in this
section were not paying enough
attention to style and size in their
horse breeding to enable him to
buy such car load of horses in this
immediate neighborhood without
great trouble. We should think that
was . left.handed compliment to the
good farmers Of Wapello county.

CELEBRATE
PILLS,
FOR Tnn crRE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
pysrsrsIA AND SICK HEADACHE.

SYMPTOMS of a Diseased Liver.
DAM in the right side, under the edge
Of the ribs, increases on pressure
sometimes the pain is in the left side ;
the patientisrarely abletolie onthe left
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder blade, and it frequently
extends to the top of the shoulder, and
is sometimes mistaken for rheuma-
tism in the arm. The stomachis affect
ed with loss Of appetite and sickness;
the bowels in general are costive,
sometimes alternative with lax; the
head is troubledwith pain, accompan-
led with dull, heavy sensation in the
back part. There is generally con-
siderable loss Of memory, accompan-
led with painful sensation Of having
left undone something which ought to
have been done. A slight, dry cough
is sometimes an attendant. The pa
tient complains Of WEAKNESS and de-
bility; he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains Of a
prickly sensation Of the skin his spir-
its are low: and although he is salts
fed that exercise would be beneficial
to him, yet he can scarcely summon
up fortitude enough to try it. In fact,
he distrusts every remedy. Several Of
the abovesymptoms attendtl,e disease,
but cases have occurred where few Of
them existed, yet examination Of the
body, afterdeatl,, has shown the LIVER
to have been extensively deranged.

EDS. CoURrER-Dear Sirs: am

please find three dollnrs for myself

I have circulated your paper and
perhaps others here may take it.
You may think It strang that take
an interest in your paper. Wapell0

and like to send in subscribers to the
old paper when I can get them. l
notice your city and surrounding
country improves rapidly.
Not long ago / saw an article in
your paper in regard to the hay crops
in Iowa, stating the number Of tons
to the acre they were likely to cut
this season, two tons TO the acre.
Here on bottom land wc cut from
three to tour tons to the acre and
some claim to have cut five. BY this
mail will send you some timothy
heads taken from the bottom lands.
i don't think this country can be
heated for grass, and vegetables and
fruit grow to perfection. The eli
mate in western Washington is too
cool for corn though we grow suffi-
cient for table use. East Of the noun
tains they grew 40 bushels to the acre.
We raise the finest wheat I ever
saw grown. Where the GROUND il
put in good order, thirty bushels to
the acre can be raised. Grain har-
vest comes late, now only fairly be-
gun; hay harvest comes first gener.
ally in July.
Gen. T1ttle's speech pleased me
immensely. tits well worth the price
OF the paper. The old General could

longer. Hurah for Gen. futile.

Mrs. Rhoda Scott, daughter Of
George Lentncr and sister Of Mrs. DIR.
j. c. Hinscy, died at her fathers
home, in Highland township, in this
county, last night, of dropsy Of the
heart, aged about thirty years.
She was the relict of Sergeant Ty-
lcr d. Scott of the Seth Iowa volun-
teers, who died i'm hospital at Helena,
in 1868.
The river is now at standstill, and
it is to be hoped that 1t will go no
higher. It is within about thirteen
inches of high water mark this year,
but will probably 60 no higher. The
only damage done so far, in the city,
is to the fill at this end Of the North
Missouri Railroad bridge, ten or
twelve feet of which is SO badly
washed that trains cannot cross, and
the probabilities are that the water
will wash entirely around the abut-
ment before it can be stopped. A
temporary abutment or bent will have
to be put in before travel can be re.
sumed.

The saloon under the Dallingall
House is now run by water. The
back water has been kept out of the
house, but the levee along the side is
about 8 or 10 inches high, and the
water ready to run over. The cellars
along Main street are all nearly half
full Of water, and it is nearly to the
top of the floor in our press room. If
the water continues to rise, as it now
seems very probable, it may cause us
serious annoyance, if not cessation
of work. The fy-wheel OF our press

rHe STORM m the CRY.

: =
The storm commenced in this city
last night about 9 o'clock, and for
several hours thereafter the rain fell
in perfect torrents, flooding the
streets to an extent scarcely ever
known before. The sewers were en-
tirely inadequate to carry off the
water, and in some instances cellars
were flooded, but considering every
thing the damage was very light. The
river was already very high, but the
rain last night set it booming
and now is as high as it has been
since the spring of lSG2,at which time
it was higher than it had ever been
known to be, except in 1S5l-5S. The
upper part Of the city between the
railroads and the river is all over
flowed and many of the families have
moved out, prematurely perhaps in
some instances. Along the river bank
below the North Missouri railroad
bridge several houses have been flood
ed, but as in the upper part of the city
no damage was done except in the
case Of a small barn, which fioated
away. No damage has been done
to any buildings, except what might
natuI ally be expected from whole
sale wetting.
The Gatke bridge across the slough
at the other end of the wagon bridge,
went down early this morning.
The bridge over Harrow's Branch
is also gone, and the bridge
over the slough near Gen. Hedrick's
residence, was badly damaged, but
Street Commissioner Stevens has had
it fully repaired.
The bridge over Blake's Branch, be-
tween Ladd's pork house and the
Mill, is floating, and is only held to
its place by cables.
Several small bridges and culverts
in different parts Of the city have
been either washed out entirely or are
badly damaged, but Stevens will soon
have them in good repair again.
The water has entirely covered and
hid from view, the guard lock and
the banks of the canal but it is sup
posed that the bank is not washed
out as it was feared it might be. The
storm is bad enough as it is and let
us hope we will have no more like il
for many years to come.

Between three and four hundred
yards of embankment at the opposite
end of the wagon bridge has been
washed away or damaged SO badly
that it will be necessary to make it
all new again. Including the bridge
over the slough, it will probably take
six or seven hundred dollars to re-
pair the damage over there.
