"Wdiow Farm" writing from So.
lem township last week, gives several
interviews with some Humboldt gem
tlemen as to who they want for COVER
nor. Among others il one with our
presentcounty attorney, who is report
ed as follows:
81. o. Fife declared his choice to be
s. 0. Thacher, that it was not ST..
John anyway; that we wanted a man
who would stay at home and attend to
the affairs of the State, and one who,
when petition signed by 200 or more
good Republican citizens asking the
pardon Of any one i'm Allen county,
should receive as much attention, at
least, as the request of Jim Legate,
when he represented that the people
of Allen county wished the pardon of
Ames. What was that petition, Mr..
Fife? 1T asked the governor to par
don young girl sentenced to jail at
lola, for year, for completely with
her sister older, in furnishing arms to
some Of the prisoners there. The
older one was sent to the pen, but on
account of the youth of this one, it was
thought best to confine her in the Jail
at lola. After five or six months, it
was thought that perhaps she had
been punished all that would do her
any good, and q petition was started
asking for her pardon and signed by
something over two hundred. st. John
paid no attention to it for come time
and wrote to him, calling attention
to it but got no answer. Finally
Judge Talcott wrote him after while;
the Judge got just q note from the
governors private secretary saying in
substance that he had got very little
consideration from Allen county, and
he did not propose to show much and
there the matter rests. The county is
paying $50 year for the girls board
while she has received all the punish
ment that under the circumstances,
will be of any benefit to her. Pm not
for St. John, and 1 don't believe Allen
county will be either"
The above is slightly erroneous in
fact and as we believe in giving the
devil his due, we give the matter as it
is reported here, merely adding that if
"Willow Farm" wants reliable infor-
nation as to county affairs he should
"move to the county seat" The Pc
tition asking for the girls pardon was
secured being signed by almost every
one approached, Including all the Of
ficers of the county, but the girl her
self did not want to he pardoned out
and her petition to that effect was
taken to the governor and her reasons
given. 1t was well understood why
she did not not want to leave the
shelter of the Jail, and as soon as this
was known the governor would have
been censured had he pardoned her
out. Itseems to us that these facts
should be known to every county of.
ticer, and the above reported inter-
view is simply an attempt to prejudice
the people against st. John.

The announcement of Mrs. Lincoln,s
death will be received with a feeling
of universal sorrow, for the heart of
the Nation has been with this lady in
the SORROWS and troubles that have
followed her since the shock she re-
ceiyed in 1865. The peculiar nature of
her affiiction, which has been aggra va
ted by years, prevented the regard
made, and her secluded life and retir-
ing habits have made her a stranger
to most of the world, who knew her
only as the revered relict of the man
whose every act and association are
historical, and whose every word and
thought are the cherished possession
of a grateful and devoted country.
Since the assassination In 1865 Mrs.
Lincoln has not been herself, either in
mind or body, and while her friends
have made every effort and sacrifice
to add to the comfort Of her existence,
happiness has not been within her
reach, and she has suffered and sor-
rowed as few have ever done. Her
death was not expected so soon, al
though il was generally known that
her strength was rapidly failing and
that disease was rapidly approaching
the poict where human will and
human skill must surrender to inexor-
&Sle death She died at her sisters
home, at which she has been a guest
for two years, and Dear the scenes of
her early life and her husbands e.rly
triuasphs. The Secretary Of War is
her s.nly surviving Child. but she leaves
several relatives in SangamorCounty.

1t is said that s. 8. Benedict's friends
are very sore at his defeat fcc Con-
gressman-at-large-that the Railroad
combination had him on their slate.
but in their anxiety to save Morrill,
and Hanback,, they let Benedict slip
up. 1t is some relief to know that the
Railroad arrangement at least partly
failed but ofiice-seekers should know
that Railroad Company cares no
more for a politician that gets
slaughtered in its interest, than it does
for one of its brakemen who falls under
the wheels and has the life crushed
out of him.-Troy Chief.

Normal Notes.

Last week we gave short sketch
of the Normal promising you an idea
of the york we are performing.
The drill on the school organiza-
tions and management under Prof.
Olin, as well as the discussion of the
same by the teachers, is both instruc-
tive and beneficial. The subject of
promotions in the county schUols elic-
tied much discussion; the almost
unanimous opinion of those in attend
ance is that it would be for the best
interests of the pupils and all concern
ed could the school boards be persuad-
ed to attend all examinations and az
sist the teachers in all promotions.
The different classes seem to be do
ing their utmost to make progress and
obtain all the good they can from the
present management. The promptness
of the pupils in attendance at the
opening exercises is a notable feature
of the present Normal, and is brought
about by the desire to get all they can,
as well as the particular methods of
Prof. Olin.
The music, conducted by Prof.
Hamm, with Miss Reimert presiding
at the instrument, is an enjoyable and
enlivening exercise and one in which
all appear to be doing their part,
Department of the different classes is
good, and the attention to instruction
given is excellent.
The "Methods of Instruction" by
Prof. Young, are beneficial, and if the
ideas which he advances are practiced
more by the teachers during the COM
ing year material advancement Of our
scholars must certainly follow.
A visit to any of the rooms during
recitation will repay any one interest
ed in the cause of education.
We had expected to listen to Prof.
Wherril on "John Wickliff, England's
Great Reformer," at the Methodist
church on last Tuesday evening, but
were disappointed, owing to the sick
ness of the Professor. The house was
we'll filled, and while we did not hear
the lecture we were nicely entertained
by the rendering of some music by the
choir and some illustrations showing
the comparative sizes of the earth and
sun, by Rev. s. S. Weatherby. This
was followed by a recitation by Miss
Hattie Horney; after which Prof.
Scott entertained the audience with a
recitation which was well received and
greeted with rounds Of applause.
The number of pupils now in at
tendance is upwards of ninety; exceed
ing the expectations of the County
Superintendent and many others in
terested in the Normal. The follow
ing named persons have been added to
the roll since our last report: F. s.

Cathartic Pills

Combine the choicest cathartic principles
In medicine, in proportions accurately adj
JuSted TO secure activity, certainty, and
uniformity of effect. They are the result
of years of careful study and practical ex-
pertinent, and are the most effectual rem
edy yet discovered for diseases caused by
arrangement of the stomach, liver, and
bowels, which require prompt and effec-
dual treatment. AYERS PILLS are Spe-
cially applicable to this class of diseases.
They act directly on the digestive and
assimilative processes, and restore regu-
lar healthy action. Their extensive use
by physicians in their practice, and by
all civilized nations, is one of the many
proofs of their value as q safe, sure, and
perfectly reliable purgative medicine.
Being compounded of the concentrated
virtues of purely vegetable substances,
they are positively free from calomel or
any injurious properties, and can be
administered to children with perfect
safety.
AYERS PILLS are an effectual cure for
Constipation or Costiveness. Indi-
gestion, Dyspepsia, Loss of Appetite,
Foul Stomach and Breath, Dizzi~
ness, Headache, Loss of Memory.
Numbness, BiliOusness, Jaundice,
rheumatism, Eruptions and Skin
Diseases, DrOpsy, Tumors, Worms,
Neuralgia, conc, GrIpeS, DlarrhRa,
Dysentery, Gout, Piles, Disorders of
the Liver, and all other diseases result
ing from disordered state of the diges-
tive apparatus.
AS Dinner Pill they have no equal
While gentle in their action, these
PILLS are the most thorough and search
ing cathartic that can be employed, and
never give pain unless the bowels are in
fiamed, and then their influence is heal
ing. They stimulate the appetite and
digestive organs; they operate to purify
and enrich the blood, and impart re-
newed health and vigor to the whole
system.

The pompous, windy individual AT
Sitka, who Is being roughly handled by
the press of the whole Coast at present,
gets the following wipe from the Port
land Standard
Mr.. William Gouverneur Morris. Col
lector of Customs at Sitka, will probably
soon have an opportunity 10 visit more
congenial climate. He appears to have
incurred the displeasure of the mission
aries, Indians.and dogs who, combined,
make up the majority OF the population
of that region. His latest official act ID
the seizure of the steamer Rose, which
has aroused universal indignation. 1t
seems that subscription was raised by
the citizens of Sitka to defray the ex-
pense of sending the Rose to ChilcOot
10 bring away a missionary who had
broken his arm, and his wife, who was
in an interesting situation, there being
no one there to take proper care Of
them. The licensed engineer of the
Rose being absent, his assistant took
charge of the steamer, and upon her re-
turn she was seized by Collector Morris
and held for penalty of some $JOO.
The facts in tho case have been pre-
sented to United States Prosecuting At
torney Watson by Brother Skidmore and
other missionaries lately from Sitka,
and it il probable the case will be dis
missed. Mr.. Morris has earned the ILL
will of the Indians by the unjustifiable
slaughter of seventeen of their dogs,
which he deemed unsuitable associates
for feminine greyhound Of which be
il the owner. The matter being likely
to cause serious trouble, an officer of the
American gunboat in port demonstrated
with Mr.. Morris and advised him to de-
sist in his slaughter Of the innOcents.
which he finally consented to do, being,
as he remarked. seventeen dogs ahead
