ACiRICl LTUHAI. JIERTWi. Thero will be a mcotiug of tho Di­

rectors of tho Wapello County Agri­cultural Socioty, on Thursday, May 28, 1874, at 1 o'clock, p. >r, in the Court House, Ottumwa, Iowa.

Tho medical society of Clinton County, according to tho Herald, lias expelled two of its members for at­tending the poor for nothing.

John W- HolcSen, who has been for many years a resident ot this city, is about to move to Cerro Gortlo County Kansas. Mr. Holilen has been nl ways a faithful industrious citizen among ua and thoroughly reliable, anil ho goes from us with our best wishes 1'or his prosperity. Wo bespeak for him in his new home the confidcncc of those among whom lie is to cast his lot.

Our readers, young and old, great and small, short and tall, will all read the advertisement of G. G. Grady's Great Circus Museum and Mena-gaiue, and will coino to town on the 28th to sec the free balloon ascension, and have half a dollar in their pockets to go to the show with afterwards, elso we are much mistaken. If they don't it will be the first place that Grady don't draw a crowd.

The Cheeso factory at Kirkville this county is progressing finely. They are turnining out fine large cheeses at at wholesale rates. It evidently will be a success. We have long recogni­zed the enterprize of the farmers around Kirkville and we are glad to see their undertakings prosper. Wo expect they will be after that $5.00 premium we offered for best cheese to be competed for at our next County Fair.

The Spirit states that the City Coun­cil in letting the City Printing has overreached itself, and that the print­ing will really cost three times as much as it ought to. It is claimed that Sam has played it fine on tho able financiers who manago our city affairs. Tho Courier was not invited to bid for the city printing, but we find no fault on account of it. People who have work to do, either public or pri­vate, have a right to chofise who shall do it, and how much they shall pay for it

Farmers of Wapello County, this is a good time to look over the list of premiums to bo awarded at our next County Agricultural Fair and prepare to compete for thero. Now is the time to enter upon the trial. Three months are left for this preparation and we hope they will bo well im­proved. It would do us untold good to see our County Fair Ground teem­ing this year with choice productions of at least fivo hundred farmB of Wapello County.

We are in receipt of tbe Americam Farmers Advocate devoted to tho in­terests represented in the national ag­ricultural congress, published at In­dianapolis Ind. We have glanced over it and fiind very many things to com­mend in it. Siuglo subscription $1.00 in advance , in clubB of four 75 cents; in clubs of twenty, CO cents. It iB a large paper of some dozen and half pages iu each issue. Address, Amer­ican Farmers Advocate, Indianapolis Ind.

cit* council.. The "city fathers'' met last night and

devoted considerable time to the dis­cussion of city matters in general,and streets in particular.

The most important business trans­acted was the taking preliminary steps to establish a grade on Jefferson street and Court House hill, was not forgot­ten, but received the attention of most persons present, amounting to two speeches each. After indulging in a warm lengthy controversy as to the best mode of working the same, an ordinance was introduced to gutter said street, the Council voting unani­mously in favor thereof.

The Council authorized the Finauce Committee to sell $3,000 more of city bonds.

Mr. Griffee was granted the privi­lege of erecting Bcales on tho corner of Second and McLane streets.

A resolution was introduced and passed putting down sidewalk on East Court street between Main and Sec ond street.

Tbe long unsettled and painful question of who should bo City Prin­ter reached a climax, the same being awarded to Brother Evana of tho Democrat.

The Solicitor introduced an ordi­nance making it an offense to throw rubbish in the streets.

The amount of unfinished business on hand required an'adjourned meet­ing, which was set for next Friday evening.

CITY PH1NTIW. The City Council has let the City

printing to the Democrat at the same prices as paid last year, except that it is to publish the ordinances free of charge. Heretofore the Courier and Democrat have received $1.00 per square for printing these ordinances, and we can see no good reason why the city should not pay that now. We believe the "laborer is worthy ot his hire" and newspapers should be paid a fair price for work the same as mechanics or any one else who does work for the public. We are in favor of retrenchment as much as anybody else can be, but we are not one of those who would retrench by dopriving any employee of tho city of their just duo. All legal publications, ordinances in­cluded, are by statuto law allowed to be charged for at the rate of $1.00 per square of 10 lines brevier type, and when we do the city printing, if we ever do it again, we shall expoct our legal rights. Tho city had just as well expect the Gas Company to give is gas, or the Solicitor or Marshal to con­tribute their salaries to the public Treasury, as for the city printer to give his legal dues to the city.

HABBIGO WALKER—WOOD—At Creston,

Iowa, on the 20th inst., by Itev. P. St Clair, M. B. Walker, of this city, to Miss Henrietta Wood. Moses'experience in C'ourtiug hasn't

been without its fruits. It has enab­led him to get up one of tho strongest attachments ever known, and one that will hold a life time. We can congrat­ulate tbe suit or in {his case and ad­mire his judgement in bringing it be­fore the bsr of Hymen. Wo congrat­ulate the happy couple on the success­ful termination of the matter and wish them a prosperous jouruoy through Ufa.

IHOiTI CAI.IFOHNIA. Visalia, Cal., May 13th, 1874.

Dear Courier: Thinking perhaps some of my friends of the Courier wonld like to know of my where­abouts, I will give them a brief sketch of my journey hore and of this place-After seven days of very pleasant journeying, in which I saw a great deal of strange and beautiful scenery, I arrived at my destination. The first thing of any noto was the broad plains of Nebraska. So far as the eye could roach iu any direction not a tree could be seen.

Aud then comes the mountains and you aro glad, for the plains have grown monotonous. On the right you can see tho Black Hills, stretching their cold, dark rigidncss as far as the eyo can see. Then comes the snow-clad summits of tho ltocky and Sierra Xovada mountains. Here you will see a great many freaks of nature, Castle Rocks, tho Hanging Rock, the Devil's Slide, and the Lone Tree, which stands in a deep canon close to the railroad, answers as a mile post, and is said to stand just one thousand miles from Omaha.

The railroad runs along the base of mountains, through canyons, aud around peaks for several hundred miles, then it begins to ascend, till it gets to an altitude of seven thousand feet above the sea. The highest point is called tbe Summit. Here you take breakfast, and then begins the desceut. Soon we round Cape Horn which is fearfully grand. Then comes the beautiful plains of California.

ViBalia is the county seat of Tulare Co , situated in the San Joaqnin Valley —pronounced San Waukeen.

This is a beautiful valley, in the southern part of California, about two hundred miles south east of Sacramen­to.

The climate is mild; have but three seasons here, spring, summer and au­tumn. Spring opens the first of Jan­uary. The farmers commence plow­ing and sowing grain in November, and continu a through February. The rainy season begins in December, and generally lasts till March or April; it has rained later this spring than it ever was known to here. Stock lives on grass tho year round. The soil is irrigated, water is brought from the mountain streams in ditches. Have vegetables growing the year round; the finest of fruits and a great variety.

Figs bear three crops a year. Apri­cots, English walnuts, almonds, Nec­tarines, Pomgranates, and a great many other tropical fruits grow here abundantly. This valley is situated between the Sierra Nevada and Coast Range. Visalia is only twenty miles from the Sierra's, fifty miles from the big trees, and forty miles from the new mines that have just been discovered, said to be very rich. You can find any climate hero you wish in a few hours ride; can stand iu the midst of flowers, and see per­petual snow. This place has about sixteen hundred inhabitants, and is fast improving. Will have a railroad hero by the 1st of July. It is sadly in need of Crusaders for King Alco­hol reigns and local option is "no go,"

one of the old Appanoose Rapids Co., that laid out this city . He still has a considerable lauded interest in and around Ottumwa, and has reaped rich rewatd from his early investment here. He is oue of the solid aud prominent citizens of tho largo and thriving city of Illiuois,from which he writes.

Peoria. Ii.ls., May 16,1874. Editors Cockier—Gentlemen:—En­

closed 1 hand you a P. O. order for $4.50 to pay for tbe Weekly Courier from No. 10, vol. 25 for three years, to No. 10, vol. 28.

As 1 found I had allowed nearly a year to expire before remitting, 1 would try and make it good, by remit­ting for two years in advance, which I hope will bo satisfactory. The Cour­ier is a welcome visitor among my many weeklies and dalies. 1 have been many times paid iu tho news I receivo from its perusal. I have been much gratified to learn that your good people are much interested, and act­ive in the temperance cause. None can estimate the good that the noble women of our country are doing, in their self-deny­ing efforts to redeem and save from a drunkard's doom a multitude of our fellow-men.

The friends of temperance have been holding public and private meetings and quite an interest has been awaken, ed, but as yet no crusading movement has been inaugurated here; though the ladies arc organizing for work.

Our season has been rather back­ward, but the late warm weather and fine rains have forwarded vegetation rapidly. The fruit crop now promises an abundant supply.

There is a large amount of building going on, mostly of dwellings, to sup­ply the groat domand of last season for houses. Hoping the enclosed safe to hand I am yours truly,

Moses Pettinuili..

This and That.

Traveling agents for whisky houses complain of poor sales in Iowa.

Governor Washburn, of Wisconsin, has erected a $250,000 floor mill at Minneapolis Minn.

"Biuok" Pomeroy's golden haired daughter Mamie dwells with her di­vorced mamma at Clinton, Iowa.

Ex-Governor Kirkwood has accept­ed an invitation to deliver an address at Cedar Rapids on Decoration day.

The Pella Blade thinks the times are certainly out of joint. Nobody is gruuibtiug or predicting a total failure of the fruit crop.

Lincolu'a monument at Springfield, 111., will be dedicated next October.— President Grant will be asked to de­liver tho oratiou.

Fishing has now begun in earnest iu Oregon, and salmon are being scoop­ed up in the Columbia and Williamette Rivers by thousands.

Millions and millions of caterpillars, according to tho Salt Lake News, are hatching on the trees in Utah, and threaten to destroy the fruit crop.

Of seven distilleries which have been operating in the Third Ohio Dis­trict, only, three were to be continued after tbe 1st of May. So much for crusading.

It is some time after the veto, but the Republican party isn't "busted" yet. What will become of the confi­dent prophets of disruption if the thing holds out in this way ?

Mr. S. T. Fields says, in one of his lectures, that the extravagant indolent man, who, having overspent his in­come, is sumptuously living ou the principal, is like Heine's monkey,who was found one day hilariously seated by the fire and cooking his own tail in a copper kettle for dinner.

The invitations to the White House wedding are very plain, without mon­ogram or device, printed on hoavy parchment paper, and reads as follows: "Tho President and Mrs. Grant re­quest the ploasure of your company at tho marriago of their daughter at the Executive Mansion on Thursday, May 21, at 11 o'clock, a. m." With this are two plain bristol board cards, each about two and a half by four in­ches in size, one bearing the name, Miss Nelly W. Grant, tho other Mr. Algeruon C. F. Sartoris.

Joseph Arch, it is said, is working himself to death in the cause of the British laboring men. His voice is hollow, and h?s physical weakness painfully evident On his returning home, recently, from one of his hurry­ing, speaking, agitating fourneys, he had five miles to walk to bis own door, and it took him two hours to do it.

SOOtOOOIba WOOl. WaXTEB. J. J. HailtieM wants to pnrchasa 200,

000 lbs wool, at his store on Court Street. He has the money ready to pay for > it,[and ail that farmers have to do is to bring on their wool and Tget the highest market price in cash. He is buying for a New York firm and will pay Chicago prices. Don't trade your wool for goods unless you can discount the goods 10 to 80 per cent. We can recommend Mr. H. as a straight­forward dealer and he will do as he prom­ises. ml3 w7t

Sam B. Evans, Esq., State Fish Com­missioner, went to Croton on Satur­day last to look after some reported Illegal fishing thore, and found that some parties there had fixed a trap at the dam in which they were capturing fish by the ton that could not get above tbe dam. These dams in more senses than one thus cut of the supply of fish to the inhabitants for 200 miles above ou the river. When the peo­ple awake to a proper appreciation of the value of this article of diet, they will insist that there be no ob-struction'whatever to the ascent of fish in the spring in all our rivers. Mr. Evans informed these parties of their violation of law, and they pledged themselves to desist from it. The Gate City's supply of suckers from Croton is therefore cut off.

We hear from every quarter cheer­ing reports from the farmers of this County as to the crop prospects.— Twelve days ago no leaves had ap­peared aud no bloesoms. Now the leaves are out in magnificent beauty and the blossoms have come in profu­sion and gone. Twelve days ago, the earth was almost bare of grass, now it is carpeted magnificently and stands thick upon the ground furnishing good picking for the stock. Corn is coming up finely insuring a good stand and the growth is rapid,that and ground is clean, no weeds appearing. Hay promises fairly'and the reccnt rains if continued occasionally for ten days will insure a goodjerop. Wheat prom­ises finely and in fact everything glad­dens the heart of the husbandman and as a consequence every body else.

Sevan miliann •( P*rea. All day and all night the exhausted parti­

cles of every human system are passing off through seven millions of quarter-inch hose -that being about tho length of the sweat-ducts connect ml with the pores. If these are obstructed, sickness essues; If they were sealed up, the consequence would bo death. It is one of the provinces of llostetter's Stomach Bitters to keep thu superficial es­cape pipes open, as well asathose larger ex­cretory organs, the bowels. Tho stomach and tho skin sympathize, and it is through the Htomach that the Bitters act upon tha cuticle, keeping It moist, elastic and unfever-ed. The famous vegetable invigorant is a marvellous medicine; no other preparation known contains such a variety of curative and preservative elements, or acts, at the same time, in such a variety of beneficial ways. In dyspepsia it strengthens the ttoinach, improves tbe appetite, and con­trols the liver in fever and ague, it breaks up the fits; in cases of physical prostartion it is literally a vital specific.

THE WEJITHEI A*» THE CHOPS. IN FIVE WF.SIKJtW STATES.

For the States of Illinois, Iowa Kansas, Missouri, and Wisconsin the average area sown this spring to wheat is placed at 7 or 1-10 per cent greater than iu the spring of 1873.— The increase is 4 010 per cent in Illi­nois, 12 1-10 iu Iowa, G 1-10 in Kan­sas, 8 4-10 in Missouri, 3 5-10 in Wis­consin. The acreage seeded in oats this spring iu comparison with the area sown last spring is increased in tho States named as follows : Indiana, 2 6-10 per cent; Iowa, 9 8-1.0; Kansas, 8 8-10; Ohio, 8 5-10: Wisconsin,!! ti-10. In Illinois there is an estimated falling off in area of 11-10, and in Missouri 1 2-10 per cent. The average lor the seven States is an increase of 5 2-10 per cent. At the figures given the in­creased area is about 2a5,000acres of oats, and 427,000 acres of wheat.

The outlook for fruits continues fa­vorable.

In the vicinity of Springfield, III., the rains of tho past few days have materially interfered with corn plant­ing.

ENGLAND. The Mark Iawc Express, ot the 27th

of April, says: "The sudden outburst of summer has had an almost magical effect on vegetation. Pears and Plums have been loaded with blossoms, and growing corn has advanced at a rapid rate. Tho upward tendency of the markets has been rhockcd, but the small English supplies have prevent­ed much decline* and in several places fully Is per quarter more has been re­alized on prime samples. It appears that the same improvement in tho weather has taken place on tho Conti­nent. In France the upward tenden­cy of prices has been interrupted, and growers in the neighborhood of Paris have been willing to accept 6d to Is less money. As regards futilo pros­pects, everywhere the crops look promising, but stocks have generally run short, and though our sales last week rather exceeded those of 1873, they are 10,000 quarters below those of 1872; and the more we inquire as to the stores in the country, the less satisfied are we as to their average strength."

Ht'Nf.AltV. Ou Tuesday night, April 29th, there

was a cold snap throughout Hungary. The seed in tho ground, and buds and blossoms of vines were destroyed. The damage is incalculable and gener­al consternation provailt.
