with the Authors Compliments,
R. J. Burdette, Burlington, Iowa" was
the inscription on the fly-leaf of book
laid upon our table few days since
The book was the now noted Rise and
Fall of the Mustache," by the funny
man of the Burlington Haukeye, who
has made a reputation for himself and
that paper not second to that of any hui
morist of the age We have read the
book and can say truly that the man
who cannot derive two dollars worth of
solid enjoyment out of it is not fit to be
entrusted with untold millions. The
sketch or lecture from which it takes its
title is not only witty, but it abounds in
pathos, feeling, insight and felicity Of
expression. 1t is worth the price of the
book alone Mr. Chas Balm has under
taken the canvass of the county for the
book, and will call on our readers with a
copy All should have it.

a sensation over what they were pleased
to call a grasshopper invasion. Some

trees or other material of light charac

dreaded characteristics Of an army OF
grasshoppers, and for a season visions OF

sore affections danced before the eyes
of the croakers, but nobody saw hop

EDITOR BULLETIN:-The news went
flying through our village last Saturday
that two young ladies -sisters-who
had recently gone from here to Grundy
county, this State, were to be married
that day, Saturday, 18th. And the
mysterious part of the affair is, that
one of them, Miss Hattie Odren, went,
as we all supposed, to Grundy county
to visit, but had another object in view,
it seems, to marry one of our boys-Al-
vim B. Crooks-who went out there last
spring. Pretty well done, AL; you have
have completely outwitted the boys
here; brother Mel. will have to take
back seat. May happiness and prosper
ity attend Mr.. and Mrs Alvin B.
Crooks is the best wish of their friends.
Miss Ida Odren was married to gen
tleman whose name we have not learn
ed; he is resident of Grundy county.
Both of the boys have taken unto them
selves good wives. Young men, 60 and
do likewise The l. 0. G.. T., organized
in this place three or four weeks ago, is
prospecting, and will send as their repre-
sentatives to G. L. at Oskaloosa, Messrs.

THE physical degeneracy of the age
finds no clearer exemplifcation than
that shown by the alarming increase of
the number of young men who find it
necessary in these latter days to use
canes to support their tottering foot
steps. Every Sunday, especially, their
walking sticks appear in countless num-
bers, and the instances of decreptitude
on these occasions are calculated to
make the heart of the philanthropist
bleed with sympathy.

Not the least amongst the many causes that
you and your children and grandchildren have
for gratitude to-day is, that like one in scrip

you can still interest yourselves in all those
events In the worlds history that are constant

has been a greater privilege to live than the
last fifty years. Early in that period patriots
