Meeting Of Old Soldiers.

Last Monday was the day set apart
for the annual gathering together Of all
veteran soldiers of the country, and
their picnic Although probably not
near all the old soldiers who reside in
the county were present, yet there was
present goodly number of them. Co..
f. 4th Reg, of Oelwein, Capt. w. n.
Irwin commanding, were present, and
attracted much comment and compli-
ment by their bright, new uniforms and
soldierly appearance. Co. II, of this
city, was also out, as was the Rowley
and independence Cavalry. The exer-
cises at the grove consisted of short
speeches by the Veterans, and music,
by the Glee Club Jed Lake made the
opening address, in place of W. G. Don
nan, who was absent. He was followed
by Rev. Henry NJ. Bailey, Capt. Sill,
Warren Chase, II. Thayer, B. H. Ben
nett, Jo Nclch, w. Il. Dale, j. Irwin,
II. S. Rich, and others, in short speeches
or stories of their experience in bivouac
and battle At 3 o'clock Cos. + and H
INDUCED in target shoot, Co. + win

than it has proved heretofore, but there
is still room for large improvement, es-
pecially in numbers.

DARING RoRRERY AT WATEB

DARING ROBBERY AT WATERLOO
At about l o'clock on Wednesday morn
ing of this week, the jewelry store of
Edward Hamilton, in Waterloo, was
broken open, and the proprietor, who
sleeps in the store, awakened by two
masked men at his bedside with cooked
revolvers, who told him to keep quiet
or they would blow his brains out
They then bound and gagged him, and
fastened him to the bedstead. Upon
getting him securely fastened, they
took his keys to the safe, opened it, and
secured the entire contents, after which
they took everything of value in the
show cases. They then left. Mr.. Ham
ilton was compelled to lie upon the bed,
tightly bound, until nearly seven o'clock
in the morning, unable to give the alarm.
When discovered and released, his arms
and limbs were terribly swollen from
the effects of the ropes. The value of
the property taken is about ST 400, and
it was Mr. Hamilton's all He was a
poor man, and could i'll afford to lose
his property No trace has as yet been
discovered of the villains, but the Off
GERS will do all possible to capture them.

SHOOTING AT INADVERTENTLY
people of Manchester have been excited
over murder committed in that city
last Saturday night. 1t appears that a
young man named Henry Pentony, of
dissolute habits and bad character
generally, accompanied by three or four
disreputable companions, went to house
of prostitution kept by VIM. Burgess,
on the evening named about midnight,
and applied for admittance. When Bur-
CESS refused to let them in, young Pen
tony and his companions kicked the
door in and all entered. Pentony i'm
mediately made an attack upon the wife
of Burgess, and otherwise made trouble.
Burgess stood it for some time, and
finally went to shelf near by, siezed a
revolver and fired two shots at Pentony,
one entered his heart and the other his
lungs, either of which were fatal. The
young man fell dead instantly, and Bur
CESS gave himself up to the officers He
was examined and bound over to the
District Court. Not much sympathy is
expressed for Pentony, as he was known
to have very few good qualities. His
parents are considered respectable peo-
pie, and for them much sympathy is
manifested.

MELLOW FEVER FUNDS Nearly
every town around us has contributed
literally to the yellow fever sufferers in
the South, and yet Independence sits
with dull apathy, and listens day after
day to the piteous cry for help that
comes up from the stricken torrid land,
and never makes move to relieve the
suffering thousands. What is the mat
ter with us? Are we as a community,
void of all feelings of humanity. Even
the officers and employees of the Hospit-
al have contributed the snug sum of
SIS. Let some one start subscription
soon, or be it forever said of us, that
our ears are deaf to the wall of distress
We lear that Rev. Mr.. Patterson, of the
Baptist Church, gave notice that he
would take collection for this purpose
next Sunday. Let other pastors follow
his good example.

APPRECIATIvE.-The students who
have attended the late session Of the

lacking in appreciation of Supt. Parker
excellent labors to make the school sue
cessful, and testified their appreciation
in a way peculiarly practical. On
Thursday evening of last week, the stu
dents cornered Mr. Parker in a desira-
BILE spot, and in a neat speech by one OF
their representatives, presented him
with the following articles to-wit: One
easy chair; one bracket book shelf, and
one comb case, and card rack. Oi
course Mr.. Parker was so much over
come by surprise at first that he could
say nothing, but he made a grateful &C
acknowledgement to the donors at the
close of the Institute on Friday after
noon.

PAINFUL WOUND.-Mr. A. Holzer,
the blacksmith, met with an accident
last Monday, by which he will have to
part with the sight of his left eye. 1t
happened in this wise: He was holding
piece of red hot steel for pillow,
while his assistant, Mr.. +. Frank, should
cut it in two. He had very slight
hold upon the iron with the tongs, and
as the first blow was struck. it slipped
from his grasp, and flew into Mr.. Hol-
tiers face, striking him under the left
eye, cutting and burning that organ in
frightful manner. DIR. Wilson was
summoned, and is doing all that skill
can do, to save the eye, has no
hopes of it.

Our paper is late this week on account of

j. II. DRoMBERGER, the lightning rod
swindler, well-known in these parts as a
conscienceless rogue, has finally taken
one thing which can truly be said to be-
long to him-a berth in the Blackhawk
county Jail. He was arrested on Mon
day at Cedar. Rapids, and brought to
Waterloo the same day, upon a charge
of operating in that county, as he did
in this. If he should be cleared of the
first charge, he is to be arrested and
tried upon another,-or the same charge
preferred by another man.

The Oldest Inhabitants.

The Fourth Annual Meeting of the
Early Settlers Association of Buchan-
an county, was held in Dickinson s
Grove, in this city, yesterday. The pio-
ncecrs met at the grove in the forenoon,
and prepared delicious picnic dinner,
to which all present were invited. AT
ter dinner, the exercises at the stand
took place, and consisted of music by
the band, an eloquent prayer by W. A.
Jones, reading of minutes of previous
meeting by the Secretary, J. J. Travis,
and short speeches and anecdotes, by
Hon. W. G.. Donnan, Asa Clarke, DR..
Bryant, John Neidy, Asa Blood, w. A.
Jones and j. j. Travis, and others,
each of whom called up pleasant remi-
niscences of the far off days when all
were strangers in strange land In
point of attendance the meeting was not
so successful as it should have been. 1t
seems to us there is no reason why these
pleasant occasions should not be more
largely attended than they are, and we
are convinced that it will need but a
taste of their pleasures to ever after in
sure larger crowd.

The following letter appeared in the
Dubuque Times the day before the
meeting Of the Democratic COMPRESSION
al Conventions:

IHE following letter appeared In the
Dubuque Times the day before the
meeting Of the Democratic Congression-
al Convention:
WINTHROP. Sept. 3D., 1s78.-ED. TIMEs--It is
hope of riding into Congress on the National
ticket alone, and is trying hard now to marry
the Democracy of the Third District, lind seems
f en o he w Ks hm hs0T E
and Mike Dougherty, the latter representing
the whisky. element" go to McGregor to-
night, and will try hard to "bnldoze" the
Clayton Democrats int an endorsement of
their pet candidate. The Republicans in this
vicinity are satisfied with the action of the Re
publican Convention, and will stand by Mr.
Updegraff. REPUBLICAN,.
The sequel of the above as we are in
formed, was that Mr.. Risk, one of the
parties named above, came home from
the convention in fine state of excite
ment and indignation and Immediately
taxing Mr.. Lagrange, the head clerk Of
the firm of Hildrith 4 Risk, of which he is
partner, with the authorship of the
communication, and the same being
avowed by Mr.. Lagrange, Mr.. Risk
promptly and with fierce anger dis
charged him on the spot, though he has
been for long time in the employ of
the firm. This Mr.. Risk had an I'M
doubted right to do, but it shows that
he is triae too sensitive to criticism for
a politician. 1t is possible that Mr..
Risk was not hired to go to McGregor
to lobby for Mr.. Spangler, but he would
have appeared to better advantage and
not laid himself liable to the charge of
intolerance, if he had taken the matter
with little more philosophy And now
we are anxiously expecting to hear that
ri" Rich and Mike have discharged
somebody or something. We would
suggest to the former, if he find moth
ing more convenient, that he discharge
the debt Of 50 and interest he has owed
this Office these several years, for years
subscription to the BULLETIN. 1t is
probable, however, that he will urge that
it is more in accordance with Greenback
principles to ''repudiate" it,
