he can see his family oftener at Cedar

not sold his property here, however, and
will undoubtedly be back at some time
in the future.

| INDEPENDENCE VICTORIOUs. - The
shooting match last week between the
Key City Gun Club, of Dubuque, and
the club in this city, resulted in victo-
ry for the latter by a fair majority. The
shooting was unusually excellent on both
sides, especially so among the Indepen-
dence club, and we are at loss to ac-
count for it. The boys broke more balls
upon that day than they have averaged
during their practice, and we cannot &C
count for the reversed rule. The high
est number of balls broken by any one
man, was 26 out of 30, and this was &C
complished by Mr.. Gregoire, of Du
buque. We append the

amount applied per acre, and land being
about the same quality. The result was very
much in favor of yours. have, with Other
new brands which have been introduced, the
same careful test, and now | am fully con
vinced that we have nothing in the market
as manure, that stands as high in its good
qualities, as your Standard Bone Phosphate

five years, has been almost exclusively used
by the majority of our farmers, and, from
frequent conversation with them, find tina
they speak of it in the highest terms. Abou
