oldest and most reliable, as we'll rs
nterprising citizens, and We know of
no man that has done more for Next

In the construction of his dairy he
shows his usual good Judgment. The
dairy is erected just below a living
spring of as pure and sparkling water
as ever rippled over snow white peb-
bles. The cellar, which contains the
milk consists of twoi large rooms
l6x16 feet, through which this spring
flows, keeping the air pure and cool.
The floor wells and reservoirs which
have recently been erected are of
lasting Portland cement. Everything
is arranged in the most convenient

proximity to the dwelling house and
the stable stands on a knoll

have the full sympathy offevery one
The farmers o fixing fence and
breaking ground, besides little odd
jobs that need doing in the lnll be-
tween harye-t and gathering corn.
The women folks are fixing for a
school, that is the children, not them
selves. The school will commence
about the middle Of September, Miss

all SO glad.

perhaps, continue through the fol-

SECOND FIDDLE.
JEALOUSY VS.. PRINCIPLE.

-
kow Col. Jawn +. Hutton tried to de-
feat the Hon. Chas. III. Hardin when
he ran for Governor, and boy, when
he was nominated, Col. Hutton, IN
| the fuliness of his heart, all but wept
tears Of congratulation (policy,) and
from the stump swore to always sup
port Charles Hardin. He has not Done
it, as you all know. In fact to-day
he would rather give up his CHANCES
TO become yet tiae only Democrat in
the county (p.r4aaps then become a
leader,) than see Hardin go to the L.
). Senate.
But this is not what We are driving
at. Last Tuesday, ut the Congress
sionai Convention, when there seelped
to he a little trouble ahead for Buck
ner, that is, before his position was
definitely understood by the delegates,
Col. Hutton, of Audrain, worked hard
to bolt the Convention. When he
knew that there vas not n Democrat
in the coLnty which he represented
lint was in favor of 3uckner, he tried
to split tie Audrain delegation, bolt
the Convention and throw Bsckner
out in the cold.
As soon as everything was fairly
understood and the delegates found
that Judge Buckner's difference on
finance, as touching the Missouri
platform, was only nominal, lac was
dominated by exclamation mid the
widest appliance. As soon as the APP
plause had cooled down, and after
the nomination had been seconded,
we saw Col. Hutton rise, and straight
ell himself up, shake himself all over
i'm order to smooth the ruffled feath-
ersof his self ~conceit, then after he
had done all IN his power to beat
Bucknel. alter the nomination was
made and seconded, he opens up his
wise head and begs leave to have the
pleasure Of seconding the nomination
of the Hon. Aylett III. Buckner,
of Audrain, in the meantime pro-
nouncing a beautiful and well deserv-
ed eulogy on Judge Buckner's record
in the past.
This is the Hardin Ease over again
Working with all his might and mair
to defeat a fellow-D Democrat, who II
far his superior as Hutton is the infe
rior of any true Democrat, no mat
ter how weak he may be, simply on
of jealousy. Col. Hutton, you, til,
man that thinks Democracy consist
of selfishpess, are you the person tt
impeach our Democracy to chal
lenge the Democracy of our Stat
r Central Committeeman, or find faul
with the record of our Representative
r in ;he State Legislature? My friend
draw it mild, you are not the oni.

STEWARDS GRAVE.
The Body Of the Late Mnssonaire

NEw YoRx, Nov. THE body Of A.
T. Stewart was stolen from its grave In
81. Marks churchysrd, in this city, last
night or some time this morning, and
the perpetrators of the outrage have not
yet bean discovered.
The report at arst seemed so incredi.
BILE that persons who we're told OF the
rumor laughed and refused 70 give It any
attention When, however, it was no
longer possible to doubt the truth OF the
story the deepest indignation was ex
pressed, not only at the outrage, but at
the laxity Of police discipline which rem.
dered such an outrage practicabis.
The motive to steal the body was un
doubtedly the costly prepsrationssto en-
tomb Mr. Stewart beside his wife in the
Cathedral at Garden City. That Cathe.
drsl vas to have been finished next
juno. The Crypt alone to receive the

opened and dedicated next June, and Ca

Tue thieves saw that the pious labor Of
Mrs. Stewards "remainder Of days" was
to accomplish this entombmept. and that
her heart was set upon it, and 3 large
portion of their fortune embarked In the
idea. They, therefore, reasoned that she
