There has been a good deal Of excitement
among the politicians over a remark made
by Mrs. Blaine last night that her husband
would not stay in the Cabinet but a few
days longer, preierring TO le.ye now rather
than to wait a few months and then be
turned out. The opinion amoRg the most
prominent senators here is that the next ten
days will see at least TWO or three vacant
Cabinet positions Cleveland correspond.

An English Horse Fair.

An interesting exhibition has recently
been held at the Agricultural hall by the
English Cart horse society. One hundred
and fifty-three entries of the Clydesdale,
Suffolk, and the Shire-bred varieties of
draught animals competed for the prizes
offered. The importance OF obtaining a
good staunch breed of cart horse has long
been recognized in England, and tho diff
ferent varieties arc as carefully bred as
are the race horses. The stud books have
been compiled, one for each of the differ
ent breeds, and they are as eagerly perused
by the owners and purchasers of good cart
horses as arc the herd books by the raisers
of prize cattle. The Euglish cart horse
society is under the patronage Of the
Prince of Wales, and the Earls Of Elles-
mcres and Spencer are the president and
vice president respectively. While vari-
GUS countries dispute with England the
honor of excellence with respect to their
thoroughbreds. France only can compete
with her for the palm as to cart horses.
One of tho greatest sights in London to
the lovers of horse flesh are the stables Of
the leading brcweries. The superb condi-
tion in which their horses are kept, and
the size of the animals themselves, often
reaching seventy-five inches, are matters
of wonderment to contry people.

Thirty one persons, including several

for sending threatening letters to Jacob
Long, a saloon keeper. The culprits are
supposed to belong to 4 gang of regula
tors, formed two or three years ago, who
have terrorized the village by their threats
and in two cases by downright assassina-
tion. In 1879 and old man named Guyerc
received q note warning him to leave
town on pain of death. A few nights
thereafter a horseman rode up to his door
anil hailed him. Guyere stepped out on
the porch, and as he appeared in the lamp
light twenty bullets pierced his body. His
murderers escaped, and not enc OF them
has ever been brought to just ice. Later 4
negro named Stephen Wade was served in
like manner. An effort was then made to
ferret out tho leaders, but the detectives
found the band Of regulators SO strong
that they gave up the task. Since then
other persons have been served with no
tices to quit tho country, and several Of
them remembering the fate of Guyere and
Wade, have emigrated. Long, the saloon
keeper, however, refuses to 80, and the
arrests just made show that there is a
prospect that the reign Of the mob may
be brought to a halt.

renee county, being infested with rats, a
half dozen drummers beat their music
through the building and the rodents ap-
peared in great numbers. They ran
around the feed bins in a wild chase. So
rapidly did they turn corners that their
tails snapped with report like that Of a
bull whacker's whip. The boys with the
dogs were signalled, the doors opened,
and the hungry caniues let in on them.
Tho unfortunate rats seemed to be under
a spell, and made no attempt to seek holes.
For five minutes slaughter reisned supreme
and when it had subsidized the floor was
covered with the bodies of forty-three
rats. Again were the drums called into
requisition and the same scene ensued
again. This time 50 rats bit the dust.
The boys continued their operations with
their drums and dogs all the afternoon
and when evening came there were piled
up in front of the stable, mangled, cut
and torn, the bodies of 479 rats.

A Curious Tale of Murder in North Carolina.
A respectable citizen of Camden county,
North Carolina, writes under date of
March 10: 81 was riding along the road
this morning on my way to my home
when my attention was attracted by heavy
groans proceeding apparently from pile
of leaves in the woods about ten feet from
the road, and on going TO sec tho cause of
the groaning found a man nearly dead.
He was apparently between thirty and
thirty five years old. He told me &c was
attacked by three men who were hired by
\ young lady and mulatto man TO mur-
der him. Since his death have learned
that his name was NJ. ID. Sykes, and that
he hailed from Elizabeth City,, N. C.
Three letters from different young ladies
were found in his pocket. One was from
Miss Jennie Nedell, of Philadelphia, and
the other two were from Miss Kate Taylor
and Miss Emma Taylor, of Portsmouth,
Va. He was badly mangled, but seems to
have fought bravely for his life. When
found he had clenched in his hand knife
the blade Of which was about eight or
nine inches long"

Vennor's Latest Weather Prediction.

Vennor Writes "The winter of 1881 is
not over yet by any means, and nothing
in my opinion could render this more
probable than tho present term Of mild
weather. There are yet at least three
storm periods in this month-namely, on
the 18th, 18th or 14th !; on the 10th and
18th, and lastly on the Goth and 21st.
The last two periods will give us heavy
snow falls, one of which is likely to be the
heaviest fall of the winter. This will be
pretty general over large part of North
America. and is likely to cross over to
Great Britain. There will also te one
more cold dip of considerable severity.
The month will end with rain and

Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1881-08-26
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.

Two years ago, when Mr.. w. A.
Jones was re-nominated by the re-
publican convention as a candidate
for the office of county superinten-
dent Of schools this paper suggested
to the democrats that no opposing
nomination be made, inasmuch as
Mr.. Jones had made an excellent
superintendent, and we urged the
democratic convention to endorse
his nomination We believed then.
and we believe now, that the cleo
ton Of school superintendent should
be taken out Of politics; that the Sc
lection of good, competent officer
to take charge of the schools of the
county is Of far more importance
than the election of the candidate
Of this or that party.
4 county superintendent is to be
elected next November and party
nominations will undoubtedly be
made for the office, but the voters of
the county should see to it that the
selection of this officer is practically
taken out Of politics by selecting the
best candidate presented, regardless
Of the political party by which such
candidate may be named. There
are nearly 4 score Of candidates
