EDITOR COURIER AS it may be in
teresting to the many readers Of the
COURIER, I will say in regard to the
hoppers, that they are fast disappear
ing in this locality. We had several
heavy rains in the last week, and
really believe that there is not one
tenth Of the hoppcrs living that was
here week ago. The farmers here
are all busy plowing and planting.
The towns are building up; wheat Is
looking well and barley and oats is
splendid ; it is believed that the grass
hoppers will not damage the crops
much. We have q splendid railroad
here, frequently see from SO to 20
cars on one train land is cheap here
yet, farms improved can be bought
from $6 to $25 per acre according to
locality and extent of improvements,
the land is rich and productive, the
best of springs are to be found here
and an abundance of streams are fed
by them, the climate is good and sum-
mer nights are delightful, as there is
refreshing breeze continually; the
lay of the country is beautiful, as it is
gently rolling, water is generally
found at depth of from l5 to IS feet,
the fruit crop promises to be good,
peaches in particular. We have the
best natural roads here that l have
seen in any country, as they soon dry
up after rain.
Please find enclosed stamps to re-
new for the COURIER as we can not
well do without it, as it is welcome
visitor at our house.
Respectfully Yours,
VIM, CALBECK.

Attempted incendiarism.

Last night some dastardly villain
attempted to burn Post office block
by setting fire to the rear of Peter
Utecht's drug store. The rascal UNDER
stood his business, as he saturated
paper and the door with kerosene oil,
a quart at least of which was poured
on the door sill. The paper seems to
have burned out, all except small
piece fully saturated with oil, which
was slipped under the door. All that
prevented the success Of the attempt
is the fact that the door fits close to
the sill, and thus the fire had no draft.
AS it is the door is considerably
charred, at the bottom, and it is a
miracle indeed that it did not result
in a disastrous fire. Had it got good
headway there is no telling where it
would have stopped, and it certainly
would have involved the destruction
of the whole block including the Post
Office and COURIER Office, and most
probably the First National Bank,
Taylor's drug store and Egan Harper
& Co.'S, building.-Daily 5th.

DON'T LEAVE YOUR CHILDREN
ALoNE.-Thc Keokuk Gate CITY of
the 9th says:
Shortly after noon, yesterday, a
tramp enticed little girl, only q few
years Of age, belonging to promi-
nent citizen in the upper part of town,
out into the stable with the evident
purpose of perpetrating dastardly
outrage. A young man, a brother Of
the child, missed her and went in
search of her. His attention was at.
tracted to the stable by a noise re.
sembling that of a stifled voice, and
he proceeded thither. On opening
the door his eye met the tramp who
had hold of the child, with one hand
over her mouth, and apparently in
the act of attempting to violate hel
person.
The tramp lit out, and the young
man pursued him some distance pelt
ing him with stones, but the fellow
succeeded in getting away.

The Mt. Pleasant Free Press gets
down to busines in the subjoined ex-
tract: Our business men frequently
send away for their printing and job
work, because it is offered at a trifle
cheaper rates. Whether 1t is good
policy to thus give money and patro.
mage to other places where they are
not interested is a question for bust.
ness men to answer. Because some
large Office can do a job little cheap.
er than it can be done at home, il
hardly a sufficient reason for thus
transferring patronage away from
your own town. 1t is certainly very
much for the business interests Of
every place, that the newspapers be
well patronized and by this means
enable to publish live reliable pa.
per which shall be q credit to the
town and county. The newspape,
