MORE Big HoGs.-Mr. f. Sanborn,
of Fairbank township, last Monday sold
W. a. Jones four hogs, the average
weight of which was 606i pounds. He
also sold, a few weeks since, Is spring
pigs, ten months old, that averaged 3O1
pounds apiece. 1t certainly looks as
though Fairbank carries the banner in
the big hog procession. And now, in
view of the fact thus demonstrated that
hogs less than a year old can be brought
to weigh three hundred pounds and over,
cannot our farmers begin to see the pro-
fit in swine. ever at the present low pri-
ces? Let them sit down and figure up
the cost of raising those fifteen hogs,
and then contrast it with the expense
involved in raising an equal value of
cheat at the market price, and We think
they will find new beauty and grace in
the pOrcine animal.

The WESTERN RURAL, of Chicago, is
rapidly growing in popularity and infu-
ence, for the enterprising and aggressive
spirit it manifests. Its several depart
ments are full of interest and admirably
adapted to all the interests of the Farm
and the Preside. 1t advocates equal
rights to all classes, and strongly OPP
poses the encroachments of capital and
the grinding monopolies which tend to
get a foothold in our land. The sum-
mary of general news and market re-
ports is excellent. In fact, the Vest
e1n Rural has assumed the vantage
ground as being the formost of its kind
in this country. We are surprised that
it's circulation and influence are rapidly
extending,
We will send the BULLETIN and RE-
raj to one address for $40.

THE theatrical entertainment given at
the Opera House on Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday evenings of this week,
by the Walters & Steinmetz troupe
were certainly deserving of better pat
ronagc han they received. 1t is not Of
ten that we are favored with as good
theatrical talent as this troupe display
ed, and but for the close times we are
satisfied that at least paying houses
would haye greeted them. There are

his walking papers. This view is the
one favored by McCreery himself, and
certainly he ought to know why he was
ousted. If it is the true Interpretation
of their action, it places the Times
Company in a most contemplate atti-
tude. The Times never had a better or
more spicy local editor than McCreery,
and it will find it hard to fill his place.
1t is but just to the Times proprietors
to say that they e%mphatically deny that
McCreery's temperance principles and
action had anything to do with his dis
missal.

that this section of country is better
adapted for stock raising and dairying
than for less profitable methods, it is to
be hoped that Buchanan. county will be
well represented at this important gath
cring.

On Tuesday last, Miss Staufer, a
young lady residing near Q~uasqueton,
met with a severe and painful accident.
As she was running a sewing machine
she upset a lamp, which broke and spill
ed the oil wei her, and before the fire,
which ensued, was extinguished she was
so severely burned that her life was de-
SPARED of. She has since rallied, how
ever, and it is now thought that her
burns will not prove fatal. Another
young lady, Miss Armstrong, also had
her hands severely burned while at
tempting to put ont the flames.

THERE is one feature of the murder
Gus assault upon his son, last Sunday
night, that is gratifying to the editor of
the BULLETIN, and that is, that the boy
faced the music like a man. 1t was a
tight place for an unarmed man, and he
acquitted himself well and honored his
training. There is reason to believe that
if he had been on equal terms with his
assailant, there would have been no
trouble about afterward identifying the
scoundrel, and there might possibly
have been a funeral at the public ex-
pense.

THE LANSING MEETING.-The edi-
torial fraternity of this district had a
favorable opportunity to judge of the
cultivation and refinement, and to test
the hospitality of the good people of
Lansing last week, and Judging from
our own observation their verdict must
be highly complimentary. The Asso-
citation was met on every hand with a
cordial greeting and welcome, the sin
cerity of which was attested by the
absence of ostentation and parade. The
individual members were made to feel
at home and they enjoyed their sojourn
in the beautiful city among the bluffs
accordingly. The BULLETIN and wife
were fortunate in being quartered in the
family of Rev. JAS. rockingham, of the
Presbyterian church, a model home,
whose warm welcome and refined cOur-
tesies are among our most pleasant rem
iniscences of the visit. The members
of the craft owe a large share of the
pleasure of the meeting to the personal
attentions Of their genial brethren of
the Lansing press, Messrs. Metcalf, Me-
Diary and Karberg. They spared no
pains to make everything agreeable.
