THAT MIGHTY MAN.
Let her roll, let her buzz, let her roll
for Solomon was n wise man, Sampson
was strong man, and Averill is great
aud mighty man. Yes, let her roll, let
her buzz, let her roll, but not ia the di-
rection of the Clipper office, for it would
undoubtly catch fire from the carbonic
gas Of that diabolical editor OF the Clip
per, and then great calamity would fol-
low. What docs he care, if we all die
diphiheria or, get grand bounce from
the country: he would only advertise for
a wife, or ask the latiies of Traer if they
can darn and knit theirownstockings, and
acknow ledge they are over 25 years of
age. However, we are puzzled to know
why he opened upon US without just
cause. We never wiote the article that
caused the over-slop of The Cli2pe,, but
tlfinking perhaps that we would deal a
little more genller with him. We got the
blast. We are not anxious for quarrel
with any paper, but we are going 10
stand upsfor our rights, 1et it be where it
will. We never denied that Buckingham
was quiel. In fact, we are glad 10 say
that Buckingham IS quiet, and that lis
more than the Clipper, can say for Iaaer.
And now, Avcrill, We want to know If
you are not little inclined to scratch our
Items and reprint them? But enough Of
that one thing you must be sure OF
next lime you lead tumps at us. you must
hold beforehand. M s. az 8si,
IOWA REFORM SCHOOL.
During recent visit at EIdora we had
the pleasure of being sliown-tbrough the
Iowa Reform Scnool now under the care
of Mr.. Johnson, highly-esteemed gen
tlemanof that vicinity, and wherever he
is known. The school now has in lis pos
I session near 760 acres of land, which is OF
the very best, and especially where the
buildings are situated. This large
amount of land is all cultivated by the
boys Of the school, and we believe no
hired help is required. They raise all
their vegetables and in fact. everything
Ethat is required for the inmates, in thai

The other buildings are also divided into
different departments, such as shoe-mak-
