Ed'r ddrcrtiser:-Thc article in

never heard any one who had produce

For one who hasn't even q NANCY eur

tons OF others he makes a poor show.
His moral is very finely drawn. He,
too, wants reform; but if reform de-
ponds upon him and his exertions we
shall HAYS TO go along rs we always
have done, as he is not likely to quit
hash-grinding very soon.

Mr.. PETER VAN Nest, OF Tiffin,
Ohio, and for many years head of the
great carriage and wagon mandatory
there, died at his home in that city on
Thursday of last week, I'D ult., of
brain disease, and was buried on Sun
day afternoon.
The deceased became quite we'll
known in Cedar county during the
last three years. He came here first
to sell vehicles, but falling in love
with our beautiful prairie farms he
purchased one of them and fitting
himself out completely for the business
of farmer. brought his wife here and
settled down. But the change from
city life was too great for one of his
advanced age, and he became diseon-
tented and finally last fall sold the
farm and all its belongings aud re-
turned to Ohio-mi now to his final
rest.

We see by yesterdays Gazette that
Mr.. .Alonzo Shaw was on Tuesday
confirmed by the Senate rs postmaster
at Upton, according to the recon-
mendation made by Congressman
Tufts few days previously. There
seems to have been no opposition TO
Mr.. Shaw's re-arpointment 10 the
position he has now held for over four
years; and since Hayes is elected he
bids fair to hold it for four years longer
which fact possibly accounts for
some of the sour milk in our neigh
boris cocoanut just at present. Better
put the Conservative rooster under
blue-glass treatment AT once.

From p. NJ. VEST, Esq, we receiv-
ed last week, but too late for last
weeks paper, n quite lengthy
letter. giving an account Of the
so-called 'Green Co. Tragedyn-in
which Charles vest stabbed another
lad In the forehead, as already noted
in these columns. The letter states
the original cause of the difficulty. 1t
appears that there has been during the
past winter great run" of the spell
ing school mania in the vicinity where
Mr.. V. lives. These spelling schools
are held alternately in the different
school houses, about two each week
and the exercises are varied by the
reading of an original paper, after the
usual fashion, made up in great part
of drives" and hits" by the young
people one at another. These had all
been given and taken in good part UNI
til short time before this difficulty
whom PAPER called the Center Star was
read at a spelling, In which was an ar
ticle on splitting the Difference" of
which this David Neal was at once
the hero and the victim. Neal grew
angry and vowed vengeance on the
author, who was represented to have
been Charley Vest. So he sent Char
ley word that he was going to "chaw
him up" on sight, and finally walked
two miles to the school house where
Charley attended school for the
avowed purpose Of doing so. He i.
older and much larger than Charley,
Mr.. Vest says, and running at him as
soon as he saw him, gave one kick
and received the stab. His Meals
complete recovery seems to be assured,
but it seems that prosecution will be
insisted upon against Charley, as Mr..
Y. has employed s. v. Landt, Esq.,
of this place, for the defence.

ADMITTED.--Ciaren Is evidently
the right place to strike If you wish to
become an Attorney at Law. We will
venture to say that she turns out more
according to her population than any
town in Iowa. The very atmosphere
up there must have . legal, not to say
litigable flavor. One after another,
about seven candidates for counselor's
honors have recently hailed from
Clarence; and what Is better, they
have, like the last one, Mr.. II. J. Car
rison, who passed through the mill on
Tuesday, been uniformly successful.
"Tom" will be "heard FROM" because
he couldn't keep quiet ifhe tried--and
he won't tryi And being persevering

ready, he ia liable to be heard from to
some purpose too-which his many
friends will join US In wishing as the
worst luck that may overtake him.
