Liberty the Ii to tell what he OBJ

flooded with water, the corn as flat as
if roller had gone over it, much of it

not as good as it is about Cresco, the
buildings and improvements not as
good though this is called the garden
spot OF Iowa. West Liberty has a
population of 2ooo but they lack the
the push, thrift and energy that they
have about Cresco. They have hitch

teams hitched at them, mud from four

how beautiful they are.
New York Herald, June 4th: The

morning and are piled up in the

Manager Davis called at the Custom
House this afternoon and held con-
ference with Collector Erhardt and
Chief Heron. The costumes are valued
at $1,000, and the average duty on
them would be nearly so per cent. 1t
is probable, however, that they will
be allowed to pass free of duty. They
should have been entered at Paris, as

were not.
