DIED.

Hon. }. q. Tufts and wife have
been bereaved of their little son.
George Washington Tufts. He was
one of the twins born I'm Washington,
d. c., May 30th, 1876, aud died Au-
gust 18th, 1877, being just one year,
two months and fifteen days old.
The funeral took place on Thursday
last in the presence of a large compa-
yn of sympath,zing friends. The
child's sickness was of short duration,
it being an affection of the brain and
whooping cough. George, as every
body called him, was one of the Lowell
lest of the family and always healthy,
happy and playful until within q
short time of his death. The sudden
ness Of the event has weighed down
the parents with intensest grief.
They find it hard to be reconciled.-

BASE BAIL languishes. The Tip
ton nine supposed they had an ar
rangement to meet the Clarence outfit
last Thursday, and went to that viii
lage for that purpose. The Clarence
boys for some reason-perhaps because
Clinton was SO far of-utterly refused
to bring out their players, and the
Tiptons finally played practice game
with a picked nine, making a score of
81 to 0. and playing zone out all OUT
the last three innings at that.
Muscatine sent word that she would
be here Monday for the second game
on that match, but failed to appear.
They are now expected next Monday.
Wilton, for some reason, hangs back
terribly on her second game. Don't
be afraid, boys; you shan't be hurt il
you are beaten.

distanced many, and triumphed over
all imitators and competitors. His rest
less energy grows younger with ad-
vancing years, aud his secret for curl
osities keener. He Is constantly add
ing to his vast moving collection of
museum, mechanical, automatic and
animal marvels, living phenomena and
arenic novelties, until this year his
representative exhibition has expand
ed 100 per cent. requires three monster
special trains Of his own solid steel cars

Barnum could give 80 much show for
so small price, and he does even more,
by throwing in" as the auctioneers
say, most costly novel free show be-
sides, in the shape Of splendid and
varied street parade. presenting huge
elephants, in harness, drawing titanic
chariots; great open lairs and crystal
dens of lions and serpents, performed
in public; ajeweled and hammered army
moving in majestic splendor, and nu-
merous other illustrations of ponp and

THAT LITERARY ENTERTAIN
MENT" by the members of the County
Normal Institute TRANSFERRED accord
ing to announcement at the M. Il.
church on Thursday evening of last
week. Saving that the programme
was fully one-third too long, it may
be generally communicating hardly
up to the expected standard. Several
of the performances were highly cred
liable to the performers-notably Miss
Titles Widow Bedott" and Miss
Frater's essay. To that portion of the
programme coming before the latter,
we did not have the pleasure of listen
ing; but we heard Miss Coney's
essay and Miss Bardue's reading high
ly commended. Miss Goes grafton
was an unusually well considered pro-
duction, and Mr.. Blair's grafton
found numerous admirers Mr.. Plum
mer Edwards chose very strange
subject for such an occasion, and exc
cradle as was his logic, his facts were
still more out of joint. "Greenbacks"
was Plummer Edwards theme; and
he began by saying that Charles Sum-
ner and Horace Greedy had in 1872
been the fathers of the Republican
party for fifty years." when most his
torians do not date the beginning of
that party farther back than 1856.
This, however. was only an infant be-
side some of the full grown mis-state-
ments that fOllowed-for instance that
the government, in its wicked policy
Of contraction, has called in and de-
stroyed billion and q hay Of green
backs, "taken out of the pockets OF
"the laboring people" But we cam
not particularize. Our nearest neigh
Dor applied the old excuse which
Festus made for Paul.
Agreeable music by DIR. and Master
Gould, Miss Hogan and members Of
the Institute, was literally inter-
spersed; and we are sure no one went
home grumbling about not having re-
ceived emo ugh for his money.

The result of the succeeding six bal
lots was but slightly varied from this,
no choice. On the eighth
ballot the vote stood % for James and
"a for Young. whereupon the nomi-
nation of the latter was by motion
made unan imous.
The nomination Of Sheriff being
next in order, on call Of townships
for informal ballot, Mr.. A. B. May
nard received every vote in the Con-
Observation-Disclosures it occurred to
some one that possibly formal ballot
was not indispensable, and he was
therefore declared the nominee by ac-
clamation.
An informal ballot for Treasurer re-
suited In 48 votes for Capt. f. II.
Pound and l6 for Thos. Elijah. The
formal ballot which followed only
changed this one vote in favor Of

unanimous.
For County Surveyor, Mr.. $. Y.
Yates received on the informal ballot,
all the votes save six, and his nomi-
nation to that office was confirmed by
reclamation.

cnt being announced, a delegate rose
to inquire if there We're any candidates
for nomination to that Office. A. w.
Hillyer responded that Dayton town
ship desired to present the name OF
Miss Eunice f. Frink. Another del
egate nominated Mr.. +. NJ. Elliott,
of Springfield, but that gentleman at
once arose to say that he was not q
candidate-being, on the contrary, ia
yorable to the nomination Of Miss
Frink. The motion of VIM. Lee that
Miss Frink be declared nominal ed by
reclamation without regard to par.
ty,n then prevailed unanimously.
On motion of j. w. Stanton, Mr.
l.. l.. Sweet was by reclamation NOM
mated for Coroner.

tive from the 33d District Of Iowa re
suited as follows:
