If functional Torpor of the Liver exists,

Uncle Natty Benjamin, of West Alex
andria, who arrived at his S4th year on
Wednesday of last week, had a very hap
Ply and agreeable surprise 'put up" on
him by some of his old friends in this
county, numbering about forty. The old
gentleman has been a Mason for So years,
and it was gotten up by members of the
fOrder.
Within the last two weeks we have re-
ceived several well written anonymous
communications which wouldha found
places in our columns had the writers
senttheir names with them. 1t is strange
that after stating II, 0OO, O00, 900 times that
bastard communications cannot APP
pear in paper, there are still persons
who continue to furnish them for u
waste basket.
1t costs less than five-eights of a cent a
day to take a weekly newspaper; less
than acigar a week, and a very cheap
one at that; less than a barber would
charge by the year to keep ones hair
trimmed; less than an energetic kitchen
girl will waste in a week. Five-eighths
of a penny can be saved in many a better
way than by stopping your paper. A man,
ought to be ashamed to say he can't af-
ford to take his home paper.
John N. Eikenberry, living 6 miles
southeast of Eaton, on the Franklin road,
brought in some wheat the other day of
excellent quality, and says that four years
ago he found four stalks of wheat, among
other wheat, of extraordinary heighth.
They were cut and saved, and to-day
from the sixty grains he estimates he
will have $50 bushels. Mr.. E. promises
full particulars when threshed. He pro-
poses to name it "the wild GOOSE wheat.
A love sick "Hoosier," hailing from
the Quaker city of Richmond, by the
name of Harry Grubbs, made an ineffec-
tual effort to s'shuffle" himself off into
the unknown next world last week,
Eaton, by the singular method of eating
the heads of lucifer matches. DR.. Small
administered the proper remedies to I'M
load his stomach of the 'spizen," and he
lives to try it DER again if he can't sue
coed in his love pursuits.
The correspondent of the Richmond
INDEPENDENT, from Eaton, has a candi-
date for Representative. We have no
objections. If any body is pushing
the matter besides the correspondent and
the candidate himself, we don't know it.
We advise a little modesty in it. The
Democrats will select their own candi-
date at the proper time. We think it
would be better for "Scalder" and the
''candidatep too, to 31etup" IN the nom
sense.
The Iowa Supreme Court has, decided
that the innocent giyer of a promissory
note to lightning-rod men, a patent right
agent, or other travelling swindler, such
note having afterward been raised to a
larger amount by such swindlers, is not
liable for more than the amount of the
original bonafde contract. This revers-
es the ruling of the District Courts of
that State, and has the effect of protect
ing the farmers and others who have of
late years been victimized by sharpers,
who have taken their notes for small
amounts, which, by filling blanks, were
~fraudulently increased to largersums and
disposed of to local banks. The Supreme

thus stepping in between the swindlers
and their victims.
The strawberry season is now about
over. The delightful fruit has been very
abundant during the three weeks past,
and prices have ranged from six to twelve
cents per quart. OF all the small fruits
none perhaps exceeds this berry in all
those properties which please the palate
and give health to the system. 1t is a
native OF the temperate zones of both
hemispheres, and its name is derived
from the. ancient, as well as modern,
practice of putting straw around the
plants to keepthem clean. 1t ripens ear
ly and comeson the table at a time when
the stores of fruit and vegetables laid up
for winter and early spring are generally
exhausted and housekeepers are on the
verge Of distraction for something to re-
lieye the monotony of bread and meat.
