it home, met three boys, Tom, Dick and
Harry, each of whom wished to pur-
chase the coon. The hunter told them
that the one who would tell his politics,
and give the best reason for the same,
should have the coon. He then ques-
toned Tom, who said he was a Demo
crat, the reason being that his father
was Democrat and Andrew Jackson
was a Democrat Every good reason,
Andrew Jackson was a good man in his
day." replied the hunter, "Let us hear
from you Dick" Dick replied: l am
a Republican, my father is Republi-
can, and Abraham Lincoln was
a Republican" can excellent reason %
rejoined the hunter, Lincoln was the
savior of our country" Then turning
to Harry inquired what was his politics.
Harry replied with trembling voice and
eyes brimfull of tears: II am any thing
for that coon,' to which the hunter re-
piled, Here, take the COON" It is
thus with Mr.. Goodrich. He is any
thing for Superintendent But we are
inclined to believe that he will not sue
coed as we'll as Harry.

THE Firemen's tournament at Cedar
Falls on Wednesday of last week was a
notable affair. Seven companies, from
Waterloo, Independence, Cedar Rapids,
Vinton, La Porte and Cedar Falls par
ticipated. There was but one steamer
that belonging to Cedar Falls, on the
ground, and therefore no competition by
that class of apparatus. The hand en-
CINE trial, in which the Red Jacket and
Water Witch, of Waterloo, the Cata-
ract, of this city, the La Porte engine
and the S. H. Watson engine, of Vinton
took part, was spirited contest, and
the award Of the judges was in favor OF
the Red Jacket, of West Waterloo
which, according to the decision, threw
water barely 13 inches further than the
Cataract, of this city, which was second
Our boys are not satisfied with this test
of superiority, and freely express their
opinion, which they are willing to sub
NIT to further trial, that they can fax
the victor in the late contest handsome
ly. They came not home, however with
out laurels. They brought back the
broom taken from them by the Water
Witch, July 4th, beating that engine Il
feet.

School Superintendent.

Ed. BULLETIN:-As there is much
being said with regard to the candidates
for Superintendent, and as we are
somewhat interested as well as others
will attempt to have our say on the
subject. Two years ago, all remember,
MIR. Goodrich s name was presented to
the Democratic convention as a candi-
date for Superintendent, and he was de-
feated by man from Rowley almost
wholly unknown throughout the county
Mr.. Goodrich, not being contented with
this, permitted his name to 60 before
the Republican convention, which con
vened on the following Saturday, when
he was again defeated by our present
incumbent. Since that time we have
heard little or nothing of Mr.. Goodrich
as genius in the PRONUNCIATION OF
knowledge. But alas! on the 23rd day
of last August, memorable day (O
this self identical Goodrich per-
mitted his name to go before the Green
back convention for the Office which he
so eagerly thirsted after two years be-
fore, his friends claiming, for him, that
he was in perfect harmony with the
greenback movement, and all that sort
Of thing. But the greenbackers were a
little dubious with regard to his in
tentions, and the aspiring sun Of Mr.
Goodrich suffered another eclipse. VIM
Miller, Ga very fine MANI who did not
expect the nomination, was nominated
and would not accept it,
When the Republicans met in conven-
ton on the following Saturday, Mr.
Goodrich, 20 where was hep" Presen
at the convention of course, but lik'
one of the little satellites in the firma
ment, whose twinkling is obscured by
the brightness of the sun, he hac
sunk into utter insignifcance as a pilot
on the road to literary fame, and W. E
Parker, without an opposing vote, was
declared the candidate for Superin
tendent.
When the Democrats met in conven
ton they were somewhat at a loss t.
know whom to put in nomination
Some one proposed the name of 0. IL

old gent, whom we took to be son o
Erin, proposed the name Of "Misthe
Gudrich." But the convention took NJ
notice OF MIN, more IMAM 10 Smile, ant
Roszell was put in nomination, but OF
hearing of the choice respectfully de

What did Mr.. Goodrich do, after al
this snubbing? He took the nomina
ton at second hand, after it had beef
declined by two other parties, and whel
the Democrats and Greenbackers were il
sore strait to find some one to act "Jacl
in a pinch"

Letters of administration have just been ia
ken out in this county on the estate of the late
C. r. Cowell, of Newark, N j., by his son, c.
E. Cowell. Mr.. Cowell died at his home in
New Jersey ON the 9Th of May last. In 1854 he
entered 1900 acres of Government lands in Blu
chanan county. AS they became of age, he
decided to each of his eight children 100 acres of
the above land, after which he sold the remain
der and placed the money ut interest in this
county, together with from $1,000 to $4,000,
which he sent here from New York State to be
loaned out.
d. d. Holdridge, Esq, attorney at law, has
been for nine years the agent for Mr.. Cowell
in placing loans, selling real estate and other
business. Mr.. C. E. Cowell, the executor I'M
der the will, has been here for several weeks,
settling up his fathers affairs Mr.. Cowell, ST.,
while living, was intimately connected with
the cause of Christ, being in sympathy with
the Baptist denomination, and was hearty
and liberal contributor to all the various
schemes of benevolence. By his will he be-
queathed $4,000 to Baptist benevolent societies,
the remainder of his estate, situated in the
States of Iowa, New York and New Jersey, be
ing equally divided among his children.

MISS BAssETT, a maiden lady, sister
of Mrs. F. NJ. Watson, of Quasqueton
has been stopping for few weeks past
with respectable families in this city
and has been noted by her entertainers
as rather peculiar in her demeanor, her
peculiarities, however, being imputed to
an eccentric turn of mind. Last week
her singular actions developed into in
sanity of somewhat violent character,
and it became necessary to convey her
to the Hospital. One of her freaks just
previous to her detention, was to go to
several Of our business houses and make
liberal purchases of goods she did not
need, for which, in most cases, she paid
the cash; also to offer to contract for
fabulous quantities of fruits, produce
and luxuries. She also disposed of her
personal effects to anybody who would
purchase, and altogether did rushing
business, before anybody began to sus-
pect that she was aught but driving
business woman, of rather eccentric
manners. Her sister, Mrs. Watson, is
anxious to secure the articles so dispos-
ed Of in her condition of incipient insan-
ity, especially four silver knives, sill
yer fruit knife marked "Bassett" red
Thibet shawl, and other articles she is
not able to identify. Any parties into
whose possession any of the personal ef-
fects of the unfortunate lady may have
come by purchase or otherwise. will
confer favor on Mrs. Watson if they
will make the same known at the resi-
dence of D. D. Holdridge, or at this Of
fee.

The SHERIFFALTY.--N Nearly two weeks
since, there appeared in the Dubuque
Times letter from Winthrop purport-
ing to give the details of certain trans
actions between DIR. Bodell, Of that
place and W. S. Van Orsdol, Sheriff of
this county, and candidate for re cleo
ton on the mongrel ticket; which, if
true, reflect very severely upon the
character and fitness Of the latter. The
charge involves suggestion that Mr..
Van Orsdol corruptly traficked the dep
utyship of his Office to Bodell for polit-
ical service in the campaign, that he af-
terward repudiated this bargain, and
that when Bodell was about to make
certain disclosures Of the manner in
which the canvass was conducted two
years ago, Van Orsdol purchased his
silence for $500. We have hitherto re-
Trained from abiding to this charge,
for the reason that we expected Mr..
' oil OISuOl VI Ills uCWS
meet it promptly and make such expla-
nation or contradiction as would relieve
him from all imputation Of dishonor.
We confess our surprise and regret that
Mr.. Van Orsdol has not seen fit to pur-
sue this course. We knew that Mr..
Van Orsdol was somewhat INSCRIPTIONS
in his political work, but we were not
prepared to believe this charge. Nor
do we now interpret his singular silence
as a confession of guilt. We are not go
ing to judge him unheard or rashly, but
we would like to have him understand
that he cannot afford to pass this accu-
sation in silence. If it is true, or any
thing like it, he is not the candidate for
any honest man to vote for. If it is not
true, the public ought to know it, as
we'll for his benefit as that the SANDER
er may be sought out and seal set up
on him.
