PERsoNAL.-Ed. N. WEIGH, Of the
late firm of Z. N. WEIGH & Co., of this
city, spent a few days in visiting with
his parents and friends in Independence
this week. Ed. reports business quite
brisk on the road, especially, the line
he represents, fresh and salt fish.
W. were pleased to note the familiar
face of Mr.. Leslie J. Labour on our
streets one day last week. He halls
from Colfax, Jasper County, where he
is engaged in the practice of the law
profession. 1t was but recently that
he was admitted to practice, but he has
succeeded in securing a prosperous bus
mess.
Lawrence W. Chandler, of the Yer
million Cd. T.) Standard, gave us a
pleasant call on Wednesday of this week.
He left his paper in the hands of the
boys long enough to visit his relatives
and friends in this vicinity. He will
leave on Monday next.
We have also to acknowledge a call
this week, from c. E. Hunt, formerly of
independence. He has departed from
the plant business, in which he has been
engaged for a few years past, and is
now engaged in journalism, being con
nected with the Erening Telegraph, a
new Chicago daily.
S. G. Mason, formerly of this county,
together with his wife, is visiting his
parents in Westburg township for a
few days, and receiving the congratulate
tions of his friends.

Mrs. Ii. A. FISHER, who has taught
the grammer schools on the West Side
for the past few years, has declined to
teach another term. and Mr.. NJ. Booth
has been substituted. Last evening a
number of Mrs. Fishers old scholars
convened at her home, and, after spend
ing a delightful evening, presented her
with a present of five beautifully bound
volumes of Dickens, as a testimonial of
their appreciation and respect for her
as a teacher and friend. Mrs. Fisher is
one of the oldest teachers in the city.
and it will be with genuine regret that
our people see her retire from our
schools.

WHEN MI. Geo. B. Warne was max
ing his able canvass of the county,
last fall, and %endeavoring to remove
from the minds of his hearers the wrong
impressions left upon them by false
statements of fact and lame theories
concerning the financial question, he
corrected, among other things, a state
ment much in the mouths of greenback
orators, to the effect that National
banks derive pecuniary benefit from the
permanent loss or destruction of their
notes while yet in the hands of the pub
lie. With this assertion Mr.. Warne took
direct issue, and for so doing, some of
the greenbackers, with characteristic
hotheadedness and intolerance, went so
far as to question his sincerity and i'm
pugn his veracity. \ few days since, it
occurred to him to submit the question
to the Comptroller of the Currency.
We lay his questions and the answer of
the Deputy Comptroller before our read
ers in this issue, simply to show the in
tolerant fanatics who assume the leader
ship of the greenback party, that it is
possible, sometimes, for them to be mis-
taken, and that an individual may ques-
ton the correctness of their facts and
the soundness of their theories, and still
maintain a fair record for truthfulness
and fair dealing.

BLUE, white and yellow ribbons adorn
the button holes of most of our young
men nowadays. We are informed by
one who knows that blue ribbons signi-
fly a sympathy and co operation with
temperance principles, white ribbons are
symbolical of anti-tobacco principles,
while we are to understand, when we
see a yellow ribbon on aman's coat, that
he will neither drink nor smoke-unless
he is asked. The latter is very popular
in this vicinity.

THAT BRIDGE.-As the BULLETIN
gave currency last week to the appre-
tensions entertained by the public as
to the safety of the bridge across the
river south of town, and called for a
thorough examination of the structure,
1t Is proper that we should state that
such examination was made one day
this week, by the Bridge Committee of
the Board of Supervisors, assisted by a
competent builder, Mr.. linn, and that
the bridge was found to be perfectly
safe. Contrary to the impression that
has gone out. all its timbers. upon
which any strain comes, are sound and
free from rot, except it may be occa-
%sionally a corner, where the sappy sur
face has decayed. But in all essential
particulars the bridge is pronounced in
good condition, and able to sustain all
the travel which may pass over it. That
this report is so different from that of
Mr.. jenkins, may be accounted for by
the fact that his examination was nee
essarily brief and imperfect, while that
Of the committee was painstaking and
thorough.

Disastrous FIRE IN MIDDLEFIELD
TowNsHIP.-On Sunday evening,
March 81. The barn on the farm of
Albert Riseley, in the above locality,
was burned, together with the sheds sur
rounding it, a quantity of grain, hay, a
threshing machine and other nipple
ments, and, worst of all, four horses, one
thoroughbred COW, and a number of hogs,
persisted in the flames. The cause of
the fire was the kicking over of a Ian
tern by a vicious horse, said to be the
same that killed a boy at the Winthrop
cheese factory a year or two since, and
afterwards, at M~asonville, planted his
too nimble hoofs in Mr.. Riseley's face.
If it was the same vicious brute that
fired the barn, it will be some satisfac-
ton to learn that it was one of the
horses burned, though we are not in
formed as to that.
Mr.. Riseley's loss is estimated as at
least $1,000. He had insurance of ST.
500 in the Hawkeye, S $1,000 in the Pat
rons' Mutual, and $1,4O0 on his thor
oughbred stock in the Burlington. As
only one COW was burned, the latter
company is only liable for 800, which
makes Mr.. Riseley's insurance foot up
$1,000.

TO BE ERECTED.-Mr. i. V. Tabor in
forms us that he has virtually bought
two of the Purdy lots, at the corner Of
Main and Walnut streets, which have
remained vacant since the great fire,
nearly four years ago, and that he will,
with Mr.. Purdy, erect a fine block on
the lots this season. Mr.. Purdy keeps
two of the lots-there being four in all
and when a building such as is con-
tcmplatcd shall have been erected, it
will be an ornament to our business
street. Although the papers for the
transfer of the lots have not been made
out, Messrs. Tabor and Purdy have made
full arrangements for the building to 60
on this season, and are now waiting for
estimates.

WI presume our contemporary across
the way begins by this time to have a
realizing sense Of the experience that
awaits the man o. the paper that tries
to be the organ of two parties of diamet-
really opposite principles at the same
time. That feat Of equitation which in
wolves the riding Of two horses going in
opposite directions has been tried by
smarter men than our neighbor, but up
to date the effort has been attended by
ignominious failure in every instance.
1t is, therefore, not surprising that II
cotemporary's experiment of running a
Democratic paper and at the same time
cuddling and cooling we the Greenback
party, is not producing the most salts
factory results. The parties above
named are hankering after strong victu-
ais, but Il contemporary is feeding both
upon Stops and they are beginning to re-
bel. Last fall the Democracy got their
backs up over the weakly, timid course
OF their organ and there was serious
talk of starting a Democratic paper
here" as they expressed it. Now, not
w%ithstanding all the Establishments and
sweetness and soft soap that our cotem-
porary has bestowed upon the Green
back party, they in turn are talking of
starting an organ of their own, This is
the unkindest cut of all, but it is not
singular. The only wonder is that our
neighbor could not see, while he was
bowling and cringing for coppers, that he
was more likely to get kicks. The trou-
BILE with a situation like this is that a
paper that has tried to please two par
ties and has only succeeded in securing
the distrust of both, has no self respect
to fall back upon.

The farmers are enjoying an anomo-
lous state of things this spring. Instead
of the usual hurry and hustle and anx-
iety attendant upon the sowing season,
the h~usbandman, this year, has abund-
ant leisure time upon his hands. His
grain is all sown-much of it up
his blowing is done, and he finds him
self full thirty days before the planting
season, with his work well in hand and
taking things comparatively easy. Not
that there is not plenty to do if he is
disposed, but there is no occasion for
haste. He naturally feels good under
these circumstances, he sees no cause to
grumble at the weather, so he concludes
that he will dispense with that luxury
altogether for the time being. When in
town, he drops in and pays the printer,
which naturally adds to his comfortable
feeling, and the prospect is fair that,
until next fall, when the peripatetic
demagogue will come around and tell
him that he is a slave, and a wor-r-m
under the CURSED heel of the bond
holder, he will enjoy reasonable degree
of contentment and happiness, to which
we hope that good crops and plenty may
give ~permanency.
