JAS. MCINTYRE, fisherman, made
the biggest haul on More creek last
Wednesday evening ever recorded.
Caught five trout on one hook, at one
haul, without bait, and on dry land,
and the hook was a forked willow.
What was our loss was Mes gain.
Nc invited us down to his camp that
evening to feast on hsh with himself
and party. He informed US that it
was not in accordance with the hab-
its of an experienced, wise fisherman
to leave string of trout unguarded
and uncovered on the bank of the
creek, for be it known that they have
mysteriously vanished and slyly made
their way into the frying pan in the
wrong camp. Truly, Nc is the boss
fisherman.

THE railroad company has made a
raise of s. on the ton in the freight
rates of Wood River ores. The In
ter-ldaho says if the R. r. company
would raise the price $25 or 500 per
ton # would be the making of good
times for Wood River, because cap
italists would go in and erect reduc-
t,on works. The Inter-ldaho is cor
rect. A mining section will never
amount to much SO long as the ores
are shipped away for reduction.

TiHE county government OF Bear

resul. Of the test oath dose prescrlb- I
ed for officials by our last Legislature.
The Democratic Central Committee
of that county has petltioned the
President for redress Of grievances.
They state ti,at the government Of
that county, represented by major
ity which cast 4Ol Democratic votes
is to be turned over to the rule of an
insignificant minority represented BY
seven Republican votes, aud tnat the
District Court was recently compell-
ed to adjourn because II was impos-
sible to get enough grand and petit
jurors IN the county who could con-
scientiously take the religious test
oath prescribed for jurors and elect
ors. The petitioners ask the Presl-
dent what they are to do for county
and precinct government for the two
t three or more years it may take te
s get case before the Supreme Court
!. of the Territory and United States
!, if they should appeal to the Courts

le supplement such Congressional legis

N The petitioners say no Court can b

- To disfranchise all Mormons becau

be obtained is not known. Nothing
has been heard of Edwards since be-
left Pendleton, It is supposed that
he had 500 or $500 when he left that
place, and the supposition is that he

men who were in Pendleton immedi-

is Henry Ward, who was arrested ani

THE Re- UNION.
From the Higginsville Post.I

Extensive preparations are being
made for the reunion of the old mem
bers of Shelby Brigade, to be held at
the fair grounds in this city OIL the 25th
of August next, and the meeting prom
ises to be as successful as the most san
guine of its promoters could desire.
Prominent speakers from both sides
are expected to be present; among
those on the Union side we may mem
ton Col. D. P. Dyer, Congressman
Warner, Judge Jno. F. Phillips and
ex-Goy. Crittenden. While the meet
ing is primarily designed to bring to-
gether the members of the brigade in
whose interest it is originated, the
meeting is also for all soldiers of both
sides who will take part in it. Every
body is invited to attend, and especial
ly is the invitation heartily and cordi-
ally extended to all old soldiers of both
sides. 1t is earnestly hoped that no
man will allow partisan or political
feeling to prevent him from attending
the meeting. The war is long passed
away, and all such meetings as this
will have a beneficent and far reaching
influence by binding its survivors in
closer bonds of intimacy and fraterni-
ty. Let every man lay aside his pre-
JUDGE and meet with his fellow citi
zens on this day remembering that we
are all citizens OF a common country,
and that he is the best patriot who does
the most to heal the wounds and allay
the animosities of a strife which should
now be recalled only as it may serve
to teach us all lessons of charity, con-
cession and mutual forhearance.
AS stated above the meeting will be
a success. Of this there is no doubt;
and every citizen of Higginsville should
do his utmost to make it so; for there
by he can add much to the future
growth and best interests OF the city.
A large crowd will be in attendance,
many of them from other counties of
the state and many from other states.
Many prominent men will be here and
by extending them a cordial and hos
pltable reception they will carry away
with them a warm and grateful feeling
toward our city, which 1t is our duty
and u interest to promote. Regard
for material interests alone should urge
us to make this meeting a success. The
good name of the city is, to an extent,
dependent upon the outcome of the
meeting, and we can not afford to let
it fail. The Post will speak of this sub
ject again. The above is given in a
spirit of patriotism and regard for our
town, which will, no doubt, be appre.
ciated by all concerned, and we believe
that none of our people will fail to dc
wnat the occasion demands of them.

STRIVING FOR TOPOGRAPHIC AC-
OURAOY.

Painstaking people who know next
to nothing OF printing find special de-
light in searching out topographic er-
rors in newspapers, periodicals, and
books, the detection of a blunder, in
their own estimation, putting a prem
ium on individual intelligence-confer-
ring a privilege of disparaging printers.
Men of intelligence, who write we'll
but not legibly, lever tire of pointing
out mistakes of printers and the over
sights of proof readers. These self
constituted censors of Typography may
find food for wholesome reflection in the
fact that just about one hundred years
ago a number of professors in the
Edinburgh university undertook the
publication of a book which should be
a perfect specimen of topographic ac-
curacy. Every precaution was taken
to prevent errors of the types. Six
experienced proof-readers were en-
ployed, who devoted hours to the read
ing of each page. After their careful
task was completed, each page was
posted in the hall OF the university,
with a notification that ESQ would be
paid to any person who should succeed
in discovering an error. Every page
remained publicly exposed for two
weeks before being returned to the
printing office. The projectors of the
work felt confident that the object sc
diligently striven for had been attained
Great was the discontinue OF the learn
ed men when, on the work being is.
sued, several errors were found, ont
occurring in the first line of the first
PAGE.
