the State we hear the most encourag-
ing reports of the crop prospects.
The late copious rains and cool
weather have given small grains a
good start, and the chinch bug a
serious set hacl; quieting tho fears
previously expressed that the bug
would be destructively active this

very well, and the acreage OF this
grain planted this year being ex-
ceedingly large, upon it depends, to

ELDER MATHER occupied the desk
Of the NJ Il. Church in this city
last Sunday morning and evening,
delivering two excellent sermons,
The evenings discourse was a strong,
practical one on Goods plan of re-
ligious education" The elders re-
marks were such as to convince all
Of the importance Of the subject,
and lis suggestions calculated to en-
tighten parents and guardians as to
the weishty duties devolying upon
them as custOdians Of the Young
The leading idea presented was the
great lack Of parents in not taking
greater pains than they generally DO
to interest and amuse their children
as q means Of keeping them apart
from evil companions and balcful in
huences. The elder would have the
father make himself the companion
Of the boy, so that the necessity and
desire for other companionship would
not exist.

By way of apology to the ring
masters, (of whom it aspires to be
the representative in Iowa county,
for admitting to its columns letter
correcting its misrepresentation of
the facts concerning the late change

Readers of the TRIBUNE need not
be told that the difficulty" which
occurred between us and Mr.. Hazel
ton at Boscobel was that we, being
there as publisher of paper, ten
years ago, could not see it to be our
duty to support him for nomination
to Congress. At that time we be-
came oceH acquainted with Mr.. Ha-
zelton. Were it not so, possibly our
opposition to him in the regularly
recurring Congressional contests from
then till now, might have been less
earnest.
