IT is perfectly appalling to note the
constant increase Of insanity in Iowa.
We scarcely pick up an exchange nova
days that does not contain an account OF
some person whose reason has been over
thrown from one cause and another, and
is remanded to the Hospital for treatment
The mental faculties of men and women
seem to be on very even poise, this
Centennial year, requiring but slight i'm
pulse to send them into the darkness of
beclouded reason. At the rate they seem
to be coming at the present time, the

tirely inadequate to the demands upon
them.

A CALL is out for a County Convention
of Democrats and Liberals in this
city, May 9th, to elect delegates to the
State Convention on the 18th. 1t will
be seen that the character of the State
Convention is not mentioned. 1t is left
to be inferred by the Liberals that that is
to be a mixed affair also. Such is not
the case, however. The State and Ma
tlonal nominations of the party this year
will have the pure Bourbon flavor, and
the invitation for Liberals to participate
in the county convention is only to give
it responsibility. But why were not the
Anti Monopollsts invitcd9 Is it possible
that that flourishlng organization has al
ready faded out of the recollections of the
Democracy, and that, too, SO soon after
it assisted in sending Democrat to Con-
gress?

From Qua.queton.

QUAsQuEToN, April 25th, '76.
ED. BULLETIN. that per
haps few lines from this village might
interest some of your readers, I send you
few items of news.
The large steer, owned by Mr.. r. W.
Adams, who lives 1 mile east of here,
died on Saturday last. He was probably
the largest steer in the State of Iowa.
His hide measured 81 feet in length, and
II feet inches in width He was born
and bred in Delaware Co., and was sup.
posed to be 7 or 8 years old. His weight
was nearly $500 pounds.
Quasqueton has taken new departure
from the old public schools, and now
supports so-called reform school,-in
reality, select school, with quite large
membership.
On the farm of Mr.. w. Beatty, last
Tuesday, your correspondent and Mr..
Beatty, killed, with the assistance of a
small dog, 119 rats in the latter gentle
mans barn. Strange to say, "Beeswax"
was not there either. May be that's why
we were so successful.
The new iron bridge, at this place, will
be finished, it is hoped, next Thursday
evening, and in honor of the occasion, a
grand ball will be given, in Ashlcy's Hall,
to which all "trippers" are cordially in
vited. Yours &c. FIT.
