POCKET PICKINO.—A. very aggra vated case of pocket-picksDM took place in the lower part of the city yesterday. A man after over-indul- gence in the cup that inebriates, went to sleep in his boarding-house, and some aneak thief followed him to his room and went through him for all he was worth. A man by the name of Shucy was arrested, to-day, charg ed with the crime. His trial hae not yet taken place. On Monday last, the mail carrier between here and Martinsburg, brought the mail into this city upon his back, traveling the whole dis tance, eighteen miles, carrying a good sired mail. The same with the mail between here and Blakesburg. Yes terday the Martinsburg mail failed to get in, but the distance from here to Blakesburg being shorter the car rier has succeeded in packing it in ttjk to this date. Jail Dallvary- Monday night last four fellow s con fined in our county jail on trivial charges, generally, effected their es cape. As near as we understand the matter some person from the outside helped the prisoners in the hall to a scantling or something of that sort with which they pried off a cell door and two prisoners locked up there were released. Four persons in all got away, and all were recaptured before ten o'clock next day and all inaide the city. Charles Bartlett. the fellow who robbed L. E. Gray's son last summer, Geo.. Zimmerman, Tom Shea and Peter Rush were the party. No blame is attached to sheriff Spil man aa the matter was consummated when he waa out of the city. NEW YEAR'S DAY was duly cele brated, yesterday, by the gentlemen in calling on the ladies, in goodly numbere. While but few announce ments were made in the daily, as to where ladies would receivo, still near ly as large a number kept open house at did last yoar. We did not calling ourselves, but from gentlemen who did, we learn that they were hospita bly received and entertained wherev er they called. The greetings ex changed were cordial and we most sincerely hope that after three years of almost constant gloom and wet weather, that a new era of peace, prosperity and happiness is about to dawn on our city and county, and from henceforward we shall have royal good limes and that sociability and good will may prevail more gen erally than heretofore. fltXD Thur*lay Dally. Mr. John Jones, a farmer residing about five mile north of Newton, was found dead in his field on Saturday evening last. He went to work on his fence in the morning, and not re turning for supper, search was made with the above result He leaves a wife and three children. The came of his death was heart disease. B. F. Compton, the brakeman ran over sometime sincej by the cars at Moulton on the North Missouri rail road, died at Moberly yesterday. It will be remembered that he was brought to this city immediately af ter the accident, and amputation was performed by Dr. Broom, surgeon of the road. He remained here for some weeks, but was taken to Moberly not long since, where he died as above stated from the effects of his wound, Water-Works. The mains on Front street were filled with water to-day. The hy drants were opened and the water discharged with great power. The trial was entirely successful. What pressure was put on we have not learned. After an hour's trial the increased pressure found a defective pipe at a point between the railroads near the pump house, and it bursted, the water flying like fun. It was soon repaired. Of course these de fective points will all be disclosed af tera few days' trial. The power dis closed is ample and more than is nec essary. Our people may now have oecular demonstration of the immense Motive power, which has resulted from the expenditure, enterprise and pluck of many of our citizens. •Tom Ftldu'i Call A German named John Stolz, sui cided at Des Moines yesterday, by •booting himself with a pistol. He was from Omaha, and was 55 or GO years of age. On Sunday evening last, Ten Mur phy, of Davis county, shot Dan Lay man, of the same county, in the head They had been good friends and had l*en drinking out of the same jug previous to the attack. Murphy put all his property out of his hands and has fled the country. Prof Tice's predictions in regard to the weather for this month have been tolerably fairly verified. It has been eold from the 1st to the 3rd as he pre dicted, but there is a faijyre so far to predicting cloudy weather, with rfin or snow from the 4th to the 6t.h. From the 6th to the 9th he predicts very cold weather. From the 9th to the 13th, cloudy weather with rnin or •now in places. BURGLARY.—Yesterday p. M., JOTTINGS.

Porter, the Marshalltown and Dav enport bigamist, gets four years in the penitentiary. The Nonpareil figures up $405,000 worth of improvements in Council Bluffs for 1877. which is a good show ing. A Creston minister got beastly drunk, the other day, owing to his parishioners being backward in pay ing his salary. The annual meeting of the Iowa Millers' Association will be held at Des Moines, Wednesday, Jan. 16. Bloomfleld is having a terrible well-auger war. The prospect of its becoming a bore is pretty good. The Des Moines & Minnesota nar row gauge railroad was completed to Story Citv, Monday, the last day of 1877. Postmaster Page, of Kirkville, will please accept our thanks for a num ber of new subscribers sent us since New Years. One of Crcston's business men has the following notice posted up: "To trust is to bust—to bust is hell. No trust, no bust, no hell." Mr. and Mrs. Fellows left their residence for the city. A man was working in an out boose during the whole day. They locked the house up as is their euston on leaving home, made more necessary from the fact that they live In the suburbs of the city. While they were absent Mr. Hal), clerk at Moss Bros', went out to see Mr. and Mrs. Fellows and coming to the honse he thonght he heard some one within, but in attempting to enter found the doors fastened. Hall observed a light broken out of a window in a door, "hut thought it had been accidentally broken. Finally at he could not get in be went out where the man was at work in the out house and they both returned, the man saying he knew where they kept the night key to the front door. It is supposed that while Hall was gone to the out house the burglar escaped. Upon the return of Mr. Fellows an examination disclosed that Mrs. Fel lows pocket book containing about |20 was gone and some valuable jew elry was found upon the floor, having been taken from the bureau drawer. No jewelry however was missing. It is probable that the burglar was dis turbed by Hall snd made a hasty re treat, scattering the jewelry as he went. Mortgage Metee Wanted. I will pnrchaee some long time notes, secured by real estate mortgage, ytf O. M. LAPD. A considerable number of persons have enrolled their names as subscri bers for the Daily or Weekly COURIER since New Y'ear's Day. Four thousand one hundred and fifty Des Moiners now sport the blue ribbon, and in consequence there must be less blue and red noses soon. The history of Marion county, com prising 350 pages, has been published. Who will immortalize himself by writing a history of Wapello county? The other day in London, Ont., a man was fined $5 in gold for swearing on the street on Sunday. This sug gests a way to pay off the National debt. Revenue agent, John B. Miller, has been transferred from the District of Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska, to Michigan, with headquarters at De troit. The bank of I. N. Thomas, Des Moines, has joined the innumerable caravan gone before and has closed its doors. Nominal assets $48,000, liabilities $25,000. Prof. Wales, Supt. of schools, at Albia, got into a wrangle with the School Board, and as a result, he has been dismissed. Albia seems to be in a bad way generally just now. An eminent writer says that dia monds are merely an evidence of wealth, and that wearing them shows the absence rather than the presence of artistic taste. That is the reason we don't wear onr'n. On New Year's, at a ball in Union Ilall, Burlington, there was a general hair-pulling among the women. One of the demi-monde commenced the row and one woman was stabbed in the cheek. So the Qazette tells it. Mr. Maybray has opened a three foot vein of excellent coal on A. H. Hamilton's twenty acres adjoining the tesidence of Joseph llayne. This eoal bank is about a half mile north of the Court House and is especially excellent for blackpmithing. A couple of rascals burglarized the railroad repair shops, in this city, one night this week, and "bagged" a suit of clothes belonging to one of the workmen. One was captured before he left town, and was sent to the Ot tumwa jail for safe keeping until the next term of court.—Albia Plaindeal er. Corning has quite a sensation a discarded lover tries to poison his lady love by sending her candy im pregnated with strychnine.

Miss Mollie Hull, formerly of Os kaloosa, and well known to many of our citizens, was married at Denver, Colorado, on the 2d of Jan., to Mr. J. D. Mclntire.

The old books of the COURIER are now set aside and new books opened. We desire to settle all the old ac counts at the earliest practicable time and we invite parties to call upon us for this purpose.

All members of the society and all others interested in making it an institution both profita ble and successful pecuniarily, and beneficial in advancing the agricul tural aud mechanical welfare of the county, are earnestly requested to manifest their interest by their pres ence and advice. SECRETARY. An Ioka correspondent of the Sig ourney JVeiessays: Our merchants are without trade, our blacksmiths without iron, our hotel without guests, our wagonmak er without stock, our druggist with out quinine, our neighbor's wood yard without a chip, and our physi cians without a little something for the stomach's sake. Verily we ate enjoying the undisturbed quietude of an isolated community. All of which comes from the terri ble bad roads. Until recently the Cincinnati En quirer had a poet on its staff.

Monday evoning the Lyceum of the Main Street M. E. Church had a very interesting and profitable meeting, the discussion beiug engaged in by some of the best talent of the city. The Sheridan Guards, a military organization a little over two years old and taking front rank among the nulitia companies of the State, cele brated the dawning of the New Year with a grand military ball at the Opera House, which like all its pred ecessors was notable for the complete ness of all details, handsome decora tions, &c. They were assisted by the Light Artillery company, who usher ed in the evening with several rounds fired from their new brass field piece, which they kept up until after the New Year was fairly born. The dance was very successful. Yesterday was devoted mainly to pleasure, and although the streets were in a horrible condition people generally made the customary calls on foot, and were, perhaps, all the more heartilv received by their lady friends. Calls were not quite so com mon, perhaps, as they were a year ego. The German Turners had a very pleasant, home-like party, to which only Germans were in attendance. Their hall was crowded and a hap pier crowd probably never assem bled. Last night, in the line of amuse ments, we bad a session of the Litera ry Society of the First M. E. Church —largely attended and unusually in teresting. Last night, the Select Quadrille Club gave one of their inimitable parties at the Opera House. The crowd of young people in attendance was very large, and with everything in the best of trim they chased the hours rapidly away uutil early morn ing. The managers of the Select Quadrille Club, as usual, earned the thanks of all their friends for their energy and the success of this party. Dan Garner, in this connection we should say, prepared a bountiful and elegant supper in the armory of the Guards, for the party on Monday night and also last night The deco rations of the hall were simply per fect, and was a wilderness of flags, evergreens, &c. Dan, as a caterer, is a success, and he never made it more manifest than on this occasion. In a Justice's court in this city not long since, a female wiinesa was call ed to the stand to testify in a case then on trial. She was asked to give her name and she replied, "Maggie ." "What is your age ?,' "Thirty-five years." The court leaned back in his chair, scanned her closely for a few mo ments, and remarked: "The court af ter considering all the facts involved in this part of the case, concludes, madam, that your arc old enough to be called Margaret, and will so outer it on the record." The entry was made. A new Counterfeit Five-Dollar Note on the First National Bank of llanover, Pa., has made its appear ance. The paper is very thin and color dark date February 20, 18G4, and bearing signatures of F. E. Spin ner and L. K. Chittenden. About September 20, 1877, a well executed Counterfeit Five-Dollar Note on the First National Bank of Tnmaqua, Pa., made its appearance. Upon'the face of this Note, the letter "S" in the word "DOLLARS'' has a blurred look, as though done in print ing. On the back the word "owing" is spelled "ownig,'' and the word "thousand is spelled "thousand." The Counterfeit Five-Dollar note on the First National Bank of Hano ver, Pa., is printed from the same counterfeit plate as the "Tamaqua," and bears the same characteristics, with the exception that the word "owing" has been corrected, but two dots can be discerned over the word It would be well for the public to refuse all $5 notes on the above banks. A Leeeon for Young Men. Adjt. Gen. N. B. Baker's son Will, who was one of the brightest and handsomest boys in Iowa a few years ago is now in jail at Cheyenne for murder, and a mob made an unsuc cessful attempt to hang him a few days ago. "Young Baker stoutly de nies being guilty of wilful murder. He does not deny having killed Mur ray, but be claims to have been so much intoxicated that he didn't know what had happened until informed the next morning. He says if he did kill Murray he did so because he was crazy drunk.' They served together in Company of the Fifth Cavalry, and were the best of friends down to the day of Murray's death. Baker says he is very sorry that it occurred, and that whisky has put him where he is. He has hopes that his friends will get him out of the difficulty Colonel Steel will probably defend him, and he says he would like to have a good lawyer from Iowa to take part in the defense. On Saturday he received a letter from his mother, who resides at Des Moines, stating that she and his brother, Dr. E. L. Baker, who resides at Indianola, in that State, will come out aud attend his trial, llis brother-in-law, Col. John S. Runnells, who is Supreme Court Reporter for Iowa, is also expected to visit him." Ottumwa was happy for a minute, one day last week, when the new water-power started up, and began to make the "wheels go wound and wound,'' but "she caved,'' in course of a few hours, and dashed its hopes in mud about ten feet deep. HoweV' er, we wish them uuy amount of suc cess, and believe such energy as they have displayed will ultimately sue ceed.—Otkaloosu Herald. And we have succeeded, and the ''wheels go wound and wound" again and will continue to do so until Ot tumwa becomes the second Lowell of America. STARTLING ARREST.—At half past eleven o'clock Monday night the Grand Jury returned indictment against F. It. West, Ilarry and Ab comprising the late firm of West & Sons, bankers. The present ment was for "larceny by embezzle ment." The statement as to the basis for the ludictment is reported to be as follows: The Layfayette Bank, of St. Louis nt the Wests a State Warrant for about $2,100 last May. A few days later they were paid the money by the State Treasurer, and soon after they notified the Layfayette Bank that the Treasurer had uo money with which to cash the draft, but would have in the course of three weeks. The St. Louis bank replied instructing them to return the draft to St. Louie. To this demand no an swer was returned until the day be fore the Wests failed, when they mailed to the St. Louis bank a draft on Chicago for the amount. These are the iteinx of the testimony upon which tht indictment was found. The WustH were arrested Tuesday morning, when they immediately gave bonds for $5,000 each.—Stale Register. The people of Iowa ought to be thankful for the support to their waning credit, in respect to the treat ment ofthe railway companies, which the Supreme Court of the State has just rendered in deciding that the act of 1875, of the Iowa Legislature, al lowing cities, townships or counties to vote a tax in aid of a railroad or other public corporations, is constitutional and valid in principle and fact._ The neighboring state of Missouri has been less fortunate, its local courts having: encouraged repudiation by admitting the existence of a technical (law in the railway aid laws i?at7 way Age.

In the vicinity of Rio (Jr&nde City, Texas, there has been no rain since April, with the exception of one slight shower.

Upon their arri- val there they found all the boned of a human being, a poition of a vest, a part of a pair of pants and an emp ty pocket-book. There was no flesh whatever on the bones and they had the appearance of having been bleached by exposure to the action of the elements for at least four months. In the front portion of the skull, just above the eyes, a hole was found that had the appearance of hav ing been made by a bullet. Close to it an indentation was observable, as if the person had been struck with some blunt instrument. The body was found by the edge of the willows close to the prairie and as no boots or hat was discovered the supposition is that the man was murdered after rest. It is possible that he might have been one of a party of campers and having money, been killed by his comrade or comrades. The bones were first discovered by Mr. S. Lam bert and Chas. Adams, who came across them while gathering poles in the vicinity. The whole matter is wrapped in mystery and no evidence could be found by the jury to throw any light upon it, but after examin ing the skull and hearing the testi mony of Mr. Lambert, in reference to finding the remains, came to the conclusion that there had been foul play and rendered the following ver dict "The said jurors upon their oaths do say that the said person now ly ing dead, unknown to the said jurors, came to his death by means of a gun shot wound in hands of some person unknown to the said jurors."—Coun oil Blvffs Nonpareil, Dec. 30. The Last-Fonnd Democratic Statesman It is said of Farley, the new Cali fornia United States Senator, that he is not a fluent speaker, which defect once gave occasion to a practical joke at his ex:pense. The Hon. J. W. Coff- roth was desirous of becoming a can didate for Congress from the same district as Farley, and, being asked by the latter, as a personal favor, to write a speech for him, copied an old valedictory address which had been delivered in 1853 by another promi nent California politician. This speech Farley carefully committed to memory and delivered before a large audiencc, many of whom had been posted beforehand in regard to the joke. Worse than that, an opposition newspaper printed the two speeches the next day in parallel columns. The ridicule heaped upon him was too mu. for Farley and for many years he kept seduously out of poli tics. The Iowa State Orange under a Cloud. lies Moines Leader. The Iowa State Grange is under a cloud. At least that would appear to be the case from the fact of a mort gage being on record in tho court house covering their entire stock in •tore and given to secure a debt on it. There were proceedings against it in bankruptcy begun first, but they fi nally gave this mortgage and placated the irate creditor. The institution has discharged all its clerks, and aeems about to withdraw into a cave Of gloom. There has been lots of money sunk in it.

Ohio has 380,000 acres of apple or chards, and raised this year li.000,000 bushels of apples. Tobacco has been such a profitable crop in Wisconsin this year that the farmers intend to go into the business more extensively next year. Central Asia, once the garden of Jniygs-dAwtf the world, dotted with green forests, produced sustenance for its people, but since the destruction ol' its forests much of the continent has become a pathless and almost lifeless waste. It is proposed to redeem from ster ility the great desert in the western part of Kansas and Nebraska by darning the Arkansas and Platte rivers and turning the water into the desert, forming a lake, from which water could be drawn for irrigating purposes. General Le Due, United States Commissioner of Agriculture, has been collecting data concerning the cultivation of the tea-plant in this country. He finds that in a strip of country lying in the latitude of the northern part of South Carolina, and running from the Atlantic coast west ward to the Mississippi, and also in a certain valley in*the southern part of California, tho climatic conditions are very favorable, and the results of the few attempts that have been made in the cultivation of the tea-plant in these regions have been so encourag ing as, he thinks, to remove all doubts as to the success of future efforts to produce it here. OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Training Schools for Boys and Girls. From_ an article on our public schools in tho Social Science Journal, we extract the following. "Thou sands of dollars are spent annually upon our public schools with doubt ful wisdom aud equity. Besides fail ing to make suitable provision for the lower classes, those in authority seem oblivious to the growing demand for an education other than of books. We are now reaping the fruits of our one-Bided system. The city swarms with genteely educated men and wo men, unfitted for the practical work of life, who seek to eke out a living in the so-called genteel ways, while tho marts of trade and labor are beseig ed by|another swarm of untrained, un skilled applicants. Talleyrand once said, 'Everybody knows more than anybody.' Yet it would seem that our boards of education, which arc supposed to represent everybody, are less wise in discerning the signs of the times than one individual. The late Mr. Lewis had the sagacity to comprehend this growing want, and the philanthropy to leave his hand some private fortune to found a school in which the youth of both sexes mf(f..jt receive training in the various trades as well as professions. But the State cannot afford to trust «uch vital interests to the precarious fortunes of private enterprise. Bet ter abolish our expensive high jsclioolB, if need be, in favor of train ing schools, where our boys and girls may be fitted to become independent, industrious, and self-supporting citi zens. Our public school systems, then, need reform in two directions. 1. The gamin should be reclaimed from the street, and, if refractory, should be placed in reformatory schools. 2. Our present curriculum should be modified by tho introduc tion of polytecnic instruction. "German Syrup." No other medicine in the world was CVcr given such a test of its curative qualities of Boschee's German Syrup. In three years, 2,400,000small bottles of this were distributed free ofrhari/e by Druggists in this country to those afflicted with Consumption, Asthma, Croup, Severe Coughs, Pneumonia and other diseases of the Throat and Lungs giving the American people undeniable proof that German Syrup will cure them. Tho result has been that Druggists in every town and vil lage in the United States are recom e n i n i o e i u s o e s o o your Druggist, and ask what they know about it. Sample bottles 10 cents. Regular size 75 cents. Three doses will relieve any case. C^KCIA? SOTICE.
