THE MOTHER LOvE.-A beautiful ex-
ample of maternal affection and pru-
dence in time of danger, was afforded to
few witnesses, one day this week.
Some boys had started up wild duck
from the grass along the river bank,
just below the Main St. bridge, and from
her short flights and apparent reluctance
to be on the wing, they pursued her
close, and after following her across the
river, thinking she was wounded, the
boys were very near a capture, when her
duckship rose in the air with strong
wing and disappeared around the bend.
But short time had elapsed when the
duck was seen to return to the place
where first discovered, where she evil
IDENTIFY had her nest, and lead out of the
grass healthy brood of ducklings, who
had remained concealed up this time.
And now her previous maneuvres were
explained. She wanted to divert the
attention of the enemy from her nest
and lead them away from her young
family. They all took to the water and
foated peacefully and proudly down
with the current to place of safety,
beyond the prying eyes and out of reach
Of the destructive hands of the wander
ing juveniles.

BURGLARs.-Our city has had visit
from the house-breaking fraternity On
Wednesday night the residences of Mrs.
Stout and A. H. Trask, on Walnut ST.,
were entered by some parties yet un-
known, who secured their plumber and
then got away without disturbing the
slumber of the inmates At Mrs.
Stout's, her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
riman, occupy room on the ground
floor. The robbers appear to have en-
tered by back door, and proceeding to
Mr. Harriman's apartment, took his
clothes out through the front door of
the house, and, extracting SIG in money
from the pockets of his pantaloons, left
them on the grass They also carried
away new hat belonging to Mr.. Harri-
man.
At Mr.. Trask's the rascals appear to
have got into the house by turning the
key of the front door with nippers.
They went to Mr.. Trask's bedside, took
from the pockets of his pantaloons 50
in money and left them in the front
yard, where they were found in the
morning. One hundred dollars in bills
which Mr. Trask had placed under the
sheets, were not discovered. His watch
on the bureau and Mrs. Trask's watch
in one of the drawers escaped their
scrutiny, and were undisturbed. Peo-
pie will do well to look closely to the
fastenings of their doors and windows.

THE Greeback Congressional Conven-
ton met at West Union, on Wednes-
day, and it's result is before the county.
Spangler is the nominee. Long ago we
predicted that Spangler would not be
denied in this, the dear ambition of his
heart, and he was not. 1t probably
cost him the price of several short horn
bulls, to attain the coveted honor, but
what are bulls, be they never so pure of
blood, to the distinction of running for
Congress-an getting defeated. We
do not wish to be understood that
Spangler has used his money corruptly,
but it costs to go up and down among
the brethren, inspiring and strengthen
ing their faith in Spangler, and to sup
port weakly party organs. 1t is quite
probable that we may have something
more to say on the subject but we have
only space this week to make announce
ment of the fact that Spangler is can.
didate for Congress, and has hopes.

DRoNBERaER, MILES & Co., the
lightning rod swindlers, came to grief at
Waterloo, this week, and yet escaped
with retribution inadequate to their de-
serts. They got off by compromising
with their victims and relinquishing the
spoils. One man got back his note for
$3.50, he paying $50 for the rods on his
house and barn, and the swindlers pay
ing the costs and expenses of the suit.
To another man they surrendered his
note, and he got his rods for nothing.
Other parties did equally well, and the
swindlers paid costs in all the cases
amounting to considerable sum. The
Courier says that 1t has Information

Union, F. W. Miles, the red-haired,

The remark in our columns last week
that many of the would-be leaders in
the National party, have not yet mas
tered the problem Of making living on
the farm, though they have had every
thing in their favor except the DISPOSE
ton to work, seems to have stirred
up the presiding genius of the
FELLOWS Oaon, alias Peoples Paper,
and he accordingly devotes half col
umn TO our extinction. Characteristic
ally, he commences with lie, in repre-
senting that the above remark was made
to refer to the mass of the Greenback
party, instead of it's 'would-be leaders"
He then goes on to say:
We know but very few farmers, Greenback-
ers or otherwise, who have not made an hon
But OF all the farmers with whose circum-
stances we are acquainted, whether Greenback.
Democrat or Republican, we do not know of
one who has accumulated any property during
the last five years, thanks to the perniciOus
system of which the BULLETIN is a fitting ex-
poncnt.
Goodrich is wilfully blind. There are
plenty plenty of farmers who have made prop
erty during the past five years, but they
are generally of tie class who are not
afraid of work, and who 20 20 not spend
their time sitting around nursing. their
poverty and talking driveling nonsense
about the finances. This 'pernicious
system" of which the f. o., alias Il. Z.
is fitting exponent" is only produc-
tive of softening of the brain. Again
he says:
''As the BULLETIN has introduced the sub
ject of business criticism, let us measure its
editor by his own rule. He is Il printer by
trade and Republican editor by profession,
in county where an overwhelming majority
have always been Republican. Under such fa-
vorable circumstances the BULLETIN should
have held an average subscription list of not
less than 1900 paying subscribers, but with
characteristic slOthfulness he leaves twO-thirds
this bOunteOus harvest ungathered."
We acknowledge that by the adoption
of the p P.'s business methods we
could not only have 1000, but 10000
subscribers, but we prefer to conduct
our business SO as to avoid the necessi
ty OF having our paper stock come to us
c. 0. d.; besides, if we should fall into
financial difficulties, we have not the ad-
vantage of being an adept at forgery to
help us out. Does our friend appre,
bend? We are willing to put 100 of our
subscribers, taken consecutively from
any part of our list, against 200 selected
in like manner from the list of the +.
o., and to wager any amount that we
get more money out of ours than the
unctuous fraud does from his. So much
for business criticism" And now,
Goodrich, word in your ear. ''Those
who live in glass houses should not
throw stones" You see you cannot
hide behind your Independence ieuten-
ant
