THE HERALD PUBLISHED BY THE Herald Printing Company. THURSDAY, —The bill to divide lowa into two Federal Judicial Districts, has passed the House, with Ottumwa left out. It should not have passed in that shape. —Here’s timber for another Demo cratic Congressman: The President has pardoned Fitz John Porter and restored him to the privilege of hold ing civil otlices, of which right the court martial had dismantled him. His record will commend itself to the New Jersev Democracy. —The search after Lieut. DeLong and party, of the Arctic steamer, “Jean nette,” has resulted in finding the party all dead, in the great waste of country on the Lena delta in northern Silteria. When will the folly of Arctic search liave an end? It is nothing but a con stant sacrifice of lives and property and no useful results following. —The House has passed the tariff commission bill by a vote of 151 to 83. Messrs. McCoid, Far well, I'pdegraff, and Cutts, of lowa, are reported as vot ing against the bill, which provided for a mixed commission to examine into the tariff and rejiort upon what points it should be changed; but generally it was thought that the measure was only intended to prevent general tariff legis lation at the present time. -Short-lived was the liberty of l’olk Wells and his confederates in their es cape from the Fort Madison prison. They were caught in a straw stack, and captured by Farmer Stenger and son, with the aid of a pitchfor.: and shot gun. The grand jury, of Lee county, indicted the three convicts for the mur der of John Elder, the guard, who was chloroformed to death by them. They will have a chance to hang. —Hon. Janies F. Wilson, United State senator elect, and the author of the resolution in the Republican plat form that led to the submission of the amendment, will address the people of Fairfield—lds home—and give his reasons why the amendment should be adopted, ilis utterances will be looked to with a great deal of interest, and they will be a Blucher-like re-en forcement to the amendment army. —The Sigourney Ntws calls atten tion to the Judicial District matters, and correctly says that the following are the committee of the District, ap pointed June 13, 1878: Jasper—David Kyan. Jeflersoii—J. S. McKinney. Keokuk—J. T. Brooks. Mahaska--Ben McCoy. Marion—Ausel Briggs. Poweshiek—J. W. Carr. Washington--C. J. Wilson. Ansel Briggs, of Marion, lias since died, and two have moved away. At the last Convention, when Judge Lewis was nominated, there was no com mittee appointed, according to the pro ceedings as found in our tiles. There fore the matter of calling a convention to nominate a district Judge will de volve upon the committee of 1878. IRELAND'S LATEST WOE. Last week the English Government changed its Irish policy of coercion, and discharged all the numerous suspects held in Irish prisons, save only those who were known to be guilty of crimes, of which that country has had a most bloody surfeit. The present adminis tration of the English government is the only one in the annals of parlia mentary history that has risked itself for the betterment of the condition of the Irish ]>eople, and yet it has been re ceived by them with an opposition and a bloody hostility that has sated itself in murder, maiming, arson, pillage and destruction. The government, realiz ing the horrible rack-rented condition of the tenant farmers, forced the pas sage of the land bill, which has reduc ed the rents an average of thirty per cent, and made that reduction perma nent. Yielding to mutual counsel, from leaders of the Land League and friends of the people, the policy of coercion was changed. Mr. Forster, the Chief Secretary of Ireland, resign ed, and in his place, Lord Frederick Cavendish was appointed, with Earl Spencer as Lord Lieutenant. The officials had arrived on Friday, and were exceedingly well received by the I*opulace—welcoming a newer era that was to usher in a kindlier feeling. On Saturday evening Lord Cavendish, who was an extremely liberal man, and Mr. Burke, under Secretary, were walking in Dublin, in Phoenix Park, when both were most foully assassinated. Mr. Parnell has well said: “There seems to us an unhappy destiny presiding over Ireland, which always comes at the moment when there seems to be a chance for the country to destroy the hopes of its best friends.” If this atrocious crime is attached to the Irish national party, the humane and liberal policy of the government will be set aside, and the betterment of Ire land driven back for an age. Assassi nation cannot be recognized as a factor therein, only to the awful detriment of Ireland and its people. The leading Irishmen, in this count ry, have all with one voice denounced the crime in the strongest language, and entreat the Irish at home, in the lan guage of Mr. Moody, President of the American league,“to use every effort to bring the perpetrators to justice, and to show their detestation of the fiendish act, which only an arch enemy of our race, or some irresponsible idiot, could have conceived or executed.” COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE. Eve Land Grove. We were visited last night by a heavy rain, w hich did a great amount of damage to bridges and fences along streams. Oat sowing commenced about the April ](Kh. but the bulk was put in last week. Scarcely any corn planted. Orass and everything planted is growing quite slow ly and the outlook for a promising harvest is anything but encouraging. The ground, so far this spring, has been in no condition to re ceive the crop, being run together and of the tenacity of rubber. A had seed bed is a bad step toward a good harvest. A. Pakmkk.

A goodly number of anxious souls convened to hear from one. David. that cauie down from the city of New Sharon. We would have taken him for the Psalmist had he not told us his name was Mor gan. lie told us marvelous things concerning this new road of his that he and Ellsworth and John K.

IkT&k, I“• In your paper 1 see a note from Granville, statiug that I had predicted that the world would come to an end, about three weeks ago, and consequently the Adventists in that place were terribly frightened at the display of the aurora boreaclis at that time. 1 know nothing of the source of this note, tint only liave to say ttiat it is a most eontemptable falsehood—a false hood without the shadow of a fouudatiou. 1 dare the world to produce a single man, who will testify that he lieanl tue or any other Seventh Day Adventist, make such a predic tion; or any other prediction with reference to a time for the world to come to an end. All who know us, as a people, know that we always liave opposed time settiug, for the Bible says, "The day nor the hour kuowetli no man," sc. We also teach that certain prophecies remain to be fulfilled before Christ conies, and hence our doctrine does not tend to make one frightened at the display of simply an electric phenomenon. One thing is certain, if the end of tne w orld ever does come, it will be too soon for those who wrote such a falsehood. Geo. E. Fifikld. May 7, 188 5 f. Sweet Hollow. General health, prosperity, and industry prevails. There has been more improvements in this section in the past few months than for years past. They are building, fencing, planting, marrving and giving in marriage Just as they did when the flood came, and I think the end must be near. We think the fruit will be abundant unless those last frosts should cause it to drop off. Fall wheat, rye, aud oats extremely good; com and cane planted. Charley Triplett has considerable com in and it is almost up. His father has both corn aud cane in, though he was unfortunate enough to have lrt fine young sheep killed by wolves last Friday night. Clod Hoppkr. May 4, l/ita. Over North Skunk. A considerable wind storm visited us on the night of the 4th inst. and did great damage to the orchards, fencing, and some of the build ings. It came from the east and the rain that came with it is causing much delay in farm work. Rev. 8. C. Nelson held a series of meetings Saturday aud Sunday last at Center and Sand Ridge school houses. A great deal of com has been planted here, though the ground is yet quite cola. As to its prosperity we can not tell. The cold, freezing weather of the past week has, we think, altogether killed the peaches, plums, and cherries. The apples are not yet seriously damaged. We hear of temperance lectures being delivered in other parts of the county, but we have had nothing of the kind here as yet. We understand Rev. A. E. Simons will speak at Sand Ridge or No. y school house Tuesday even ing next, and as we think some are astride the fence not knowing w hich way to leap lie may be the cause of many jumping the right w ay. We want our township (Pleasant Grove) to carry the red ribbon this fall at our county fair as having cast the least number of votes non temperate. Mrs. H. Grubb, Mrs. Geo. Welch, J. J.

Owing to the rain storm the temperance meet ing. to be addressed by Elder Simons, was not held last Friday night. May the weather be more favorable next time, as some of our voters need enlightenment on this important question. Phil Akermau has ordered a miner’s outfit, and will probably soon commence a search for black diamonds, on his land adjoining town. David Scott’s tine black stallion, well known hereabouts, was killed by lightning, Thursday uiglit. Mr. Scott was stopping with his soil Robert, at the time of the accident. The horse was wtlued at several hundred dollars. Oats, wheat, and flax are reported as looking lir>t-rate at present. Considerable corn is planted, some farmers have finished. Early fruits promise a small yield. With favorable weather Cedar will come to the front, without it we don’t know where she will get to, perhaps the rear; but never mind, the railroad is com - lug. During a heavy rainstorm last Tuesday night, lightning struck a pile of flax straw in George Shayler's field, consuming it but doing no fur ther damage. I. N. Garriott, in boring for coal, has struck slate at a depth of 40 feet. Ihe man who is do ing the work, a Mr. Hendricks, thinks they will find coal soon. With the completion of our railroad and the finding of coal in paying quan tities here, who is it that is so blind they can not see something in store for us that even a rainy season can’t take away? MAY 11. Something has been said of our tile and brick factory heretofore, but in this item, as the fac tory is now in running order, we will explain further. The machine is from the shop of Chandler & Taylor, Indianapolis, Ind., a two liorse power machine, but at present operated by four horses, under a shed 4ox4u feet. The drying shed is 24xl(H feet, capable of holding 250,000 brick. The company propose to first manufacture ao.ooo for their own use in con structing a kiln, 10x22. Only half adozen hands will be required to run the concern, although it is said the machine has a capacity to manufact ure 10.000 brick daily, or 3,500 tile, of from three to four inches diameter. Mr. Sam. Miller, a practical tile man, has the business in charge, and we predict for the company a large and prosperous business. Insurance companies have been well repre sented here of late, not excepting our Oska loosa. which seems to be securing more policies than any of the other companies. Akerman drove another car-load of hogs to market last week. The good people of Highland school district are raising funds to build a meeting house. llr.

Last Wednesday night, between twelve and one o’clock, our citizens were aroused bv the dread alarm of fire, and a bright light told us that our depot was in fiames. The fire was first seen in the east end of the building, and there was nothing saved from the freight room. The agent. B. H. Harding, was among the first to get there, and knowing where everything was, succeeded in getting out all the books, telegraph table, and everything except the ticket case, tne express packages, and a few blanks for the office. The loss to the railroad company is es timated at from 31.0U0 to $1,200. Mr. Harding's personal loss was fully SIOO, besides the baud boys’ loss of tliree horns, two drums, music, etc. A car of corn on the side-track took fire, but was put out with little damage. The grain elevator was on fire in three or four places, but hard work and plenty of w ater handy by were the means of saving it without material dam age. Monday morning, two jugs of whisky, one partly used up, were found, which were known to have been left in the depot the night of the fire. So that tells the tale. Supt. Kiudig came down here Friday to see our schools, they having some little difficulty, lie explained the powers of the board, and the duties and powers of the teachers in regard to discipline. There seemed to be an idea among some of the patrons of the schools that a teach er has no right to correct a pupil by corporeal punishment, which is wrong, but the superin tendent recommends it as the last resort, and he is right, as the old maxim reads “Spare the rod ami spoil the child.” Everything is moving along quietly now, lor the superintendent knows how to settle these little matters up in good shape. C. W. Hagan sold his fine team of horses last week, in your city, to some gentleman from Creston, for the snug little sum of $540. They were good ones. Mrs. Lizzie H.
