-Even our staid old friend Caruthers, of the Wheatland News, has been so wrought upon by "this Beecher business" as to be out in an editorial article on "kissing"-the central proposition of which is that "kissing is a matter not to be trifled with." Bro. C. is probably right. Whatever is worth doing, is doubtless worth doing well and earnestly; but some people, even at Brooklyn, as near as we can understand the big adjectives which usually qualify all Beecherian references to kissing, seem to think the more serious it is made the more dangerous it becomes.

The finest assortment of ivory and sandalwood fans in Cedar county is at Van's.

Fields, at his grocery, keeps constantly on hand a full line of Cutting & Co.'s celebrated California canned fruit, comprising two or three varieties of plums, peaches, pears, apricots, &c.,--all of them just as delicious as any thing can be short of the perfection of being just from the tree.

For an ably edited, nicely printed, and in every way a practical and valuable journal for the Western farmer, commend us to the Progressive Farmer published by T. G. Newman at Cedar Rapids, and under the management of A. S. Welch, President of the Iowa State Agricultural College. Get hold of a specimen copy, and you will find the half has not been told you.

None should fail to examine Mrs. E. O. Campbell's nice stock of millinery and fancy goods, at Clarence.

The New District Attorney.-

As the term of court just concluded was the first official service in this county of Mr. M. P. Smith as Prosecuting Attorney, it may not be amiss to say that the officers of the court the bar, and all who were in a position to observe, unite in commending his debut in that capacity as a decided success. And the result of his prosecutions tells the same tale.

-Dean, Ingman & Young are this week represented in the market by S. W. Young, who is buying another stock of new goods.

Found.-A small jar of alcohol containing in a beautiful state of preservation a half dozen spotted and striped lizards of different varieties, a centipede, poisonous black spider and some other sweet little zoological specimens, was left at the City Drug Store Tuesday by some person unknown. Kirk brought the outfit to this office-and if any poor victim of the prohibitory law is hard off for a little stimulant, just let him call up.

We have not the formal notice of the event, but it is understood that on Tuesday Mr. George Gay and Mrs. Edminson, both long time residents of this vicinity, were united in marriage. As the expectant groom was in his seventy-fourth year, and the blushing bride only a decade younger, even the opening verdure of a bright May morning fails to wholly relieve the affair of a wintry aspect.

-Gents' hats and caps in endless varieties at Van's.

Select Readings.-Miss Ella J. Meade, the celebrated Dramatic Reader, of New York, will give an entertainment of select readings at the City Hall in this place on Friday evening, May 14th. Miss M. is pronounced the peer of any of the elocutionists of the day. Her repertoire includes selections from the best and most popular authors, and her rendering of them is described as most admirable.

--The largest assortment of trimmed hats and bonnets at the very lowest prices at Hicks' Bazar.

Fine Lot Cattle.-We suspect that Reeder Bros. shipped a lot of cattle of their own feeding, on Monday, which was ahead of any so large number ever shipped from Tipton. The lot consisted of one hundred and twenty steers, mostly four and five year-olds, which will probably average considerably over 1,500 lbs in Chicago. They filled seven cars, and Mr. O. M. Culver shipped another load by same train-making eight loads from here on Monday.

You can save 25 per cent. of your money on millinery by buying at Hicks' Bazar.

They had a new concert exercise out at the Agricultural College one day last week. Some one with a mistaken idea of fun put some violent emetic into the victuals. The chorus exercise which was soon after joined in from every room, hall and corner of the building can better be imagined than described. Ben Shaw wrote home the next day that over one hundred and fifty were sick at once, but that Will Gilmore and himself, though feeling rather squeamish, had not yet been emulating Jonah's whale with the rest of them.

-Mrs. E. O. Campbell, of Clarence, is selling millinery and fancy goods cheap for cash.

The regular annual meeting of the stock holders of the City Hall Association took place on Monday evening, at which the same Directors as before were elected for another year, viz: J. H. Rothrock, W. H. Tuthill Jno. Culbertson, H. C. Piatt and Wm. Dean. This Board organized by the re-election of its former officers. The Treasurer, Wm. H. Tuthill, reported to the stockholders in detail, showing the floating debt of the organization to be nearly extinguished. The income of the current year, it is estimated, will complete such extinguishment, pay all interest and current expenses and put $1,000 into the sinking fund.

Mr. and Mrs. Kimberly reside near West Liberty, own a large farm, and are reputed to be wealthy. The husband is said to be an extensive dealer in fine thorough bred horses. Mrs. Kimberly is represented as a lady of culture, of fine personal appearance, and bids fair to become the cattle Queen of Iowa,

The above item from the Iowa City Republican has been widely copied owing to the recent prominence of the parties referred to in the purchase of high-bred and high-priced cattle. We believe Mr. and Mrs. K. do reside not a great way from West Liberty, but it is in Cedar and not in Muscatine county, as would be inferred from the item.

Messrs. Wm. F. Miller and John Stover, two well known business men of Lena, recently purchased an extensive hardware establishment at Tipton, Iowa, a live, active business point. Mr. Stover and his son, Charley, are now there, and on Monday next his partner, Mrs. Stover, and Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Miller, will leave Lena for their new home. In society, business circles and the church they will be greatly missed, and while we regret their departure we trust they will soon become attached to their new home and meet with abundant success in their line of business. Messrs. Stover & Miller are old hardware men, have plenty of capital, energy and ability, and are just such citizens as Tipton or any other town should welcome to their ranks.--Lena (Ill.) Star.

Striking Out.-Messrs D. M. Bossier and Ed. Young started last Friday for Jefferson, Greene county, this State, where they will enter into the Boot and Shoe business, having as we understand, purchased the establishment there which F. P. & H. L. Dean of this place have for a couple of years been operating very successfully as a branch house. The "boys" understand the business which they have undertaken, and have an excellent field of operations before them which they will be very sure to improve. They are energetic and trustworthy young men, and have hosts of friends here who will be sorry to hear of their departure, but will unite in sending after them the warmest of wishes for their prosperity.

The Clinton Age last week heard a bird singing which said that "work would commence on the Chicago Clinton & Western road 'next week.'" The same day the Age was published the Directors of that road had a meeting (without a quorum, possibly) at Iowa City and resolved to at once foreclose against Hinckley because he did not commence work by May 1st as he had agreed to do. Iowa City is getting interested in a Keokuk narrow gauge project, of which Geo. J. Boal is President and Jno. P. Irish and others are Directors, and wants to get off with the old love. One thing appears pretty certain: Either Mr. Hinckley will very soon demonstrate both his ability and intention to build this road as he has agreed-or else step down and out and have done with pretences. We are sure we hope it may be the former that he will do, and there seems some reason for believing that such will be the case.
