Mr. D. Hopkins brings down from Dakota a nine-pound turnip as a specimen of what the soil will produce in the vegetable line. Mr. H.

likes the country up there, the only drawback being fuel; they have to burn hay and sticks. Potatoes are worth 40 cts, oats 60, turnips 20, wheat $1.25. The English sparrow is getting to be a more common bird. They evidently increase very fast. If they prove as great a pest in this country as they are in England, according to what some of our English friends tell us, it was very bad move introducing them into this country.

This little bird seems to live about the buildings, and in time no doubt his depredations upon the gardens will be noticed. Perhaps he may take a liking to curculios and potato bugs. Who knows? We hear of quite a number of farmers who have rented or sold their farms, and are removing to our city. Among the number are Dea. Henry Avery, Mr.

Jas. Williams, Mr. Frank Tanner, Mr. C. Wait and Dea.

J. H. Paterson, all from Flora. From Spring, Mr. W.

C. Dewolf goes to Genoa, and the Messrs. Gleason and C. F. Witt come to this city to reside.

The Elgin Advocate having spoken rather slightingly of Dr. J. Q. Adams' aspirations to the postmastership of Marengo, has stirred up a regular hornet's nest. The Doctor's numerous friends rush into print in his defence at an alarming rate, piling up the proofs and argument upon argument that the said aspirant is flitted both by nature and education for that identical position.

After such an epistolary display we are forced to say with the Dutchman, "we dinks a so too." DEMOREST'S MONTHLY is justly titled the World's Model Magazine.

How to Increase Your Income. Just at this season of the year there are, among our readers, those looking for employment for the next six months.

We have lately received from L. E. Brown the well-known manufacturers of spectalties for agents to handle, a request to put them in communication with one or more suitable persons in this locality, to act as agents in introducing several of their patent household articles to this community, and after consideration, we take this method to comply with their request. The Arm are manufacturers of a large number of household articles, which they introduce to the -public by means of agents, having sometimes as many as 1,000 persons in their employ. The particular articles which they seek to introduce here, at this time, are Brown's Peerless Sifter, generally acknowledged to be the best in the world of which nearly one million were sold during the last year; the Kitchen Queen, the latest and best Invention in Coal Oil Lamps, and the only absolutely Safe Lamp made; the Centennial Cake and Bake Pan, an article which has tional reputation, and is the delight of every housekeeper; the Half Minute Egg Beater, which always sells at sight, and the new Alto Relievo Bronze Profile Cast of JAMES A.

GARFIELD, with memorial frame, the best selling article ever put Into the hands of an agent, the best of all the portraita, chromos or steel engravings that have been offered. It is a truer likeness of the tyred bero than any we bave ever seen before, and its price brings it within the reach of all. For this county, Messrs. Brown desire as many agents as can work advantageously. Any smart, intelligent lady or gentleman can make a fine income in this 1 way." The firm will send to any sponsible person YRKE who will assume the ageney here and go to work, a complete outfit of these goods, to the amount of five dollars.

The reputation of this house is first rate; the goods are what they represent them to be. Their terms are liberal. and we advise those looking for genteel. munerative employment to send to them for further Information. Their address is, L.

E. BROWN 64 Walnut CINCINNATI, O. a a a a Standard. ILLINOIS TUESDAY, NOT. 8, 1881.

The Chilian government, it is now ported, will have a full, definitive treaty will of peace, with Peru, or else they make a military occupancy of the country. Peru seems to be helpless, United powerless, and used up. What the States can do for her we do not see. Gen. Hurlbut appears to be trying to help her out of her bad fix.

We supit our Government took active pose measures, and guarantied certain stipulations regarding the matter of indemnity, the Chilians would conclude of peace and withdraw their fortreaty ces. 1 But why should the United States do this?" Peru is nothing to us. There are about three millions of population, largely Indian. Our trade with them is very small. The little foreign trade the country has is in the hands of the Germans.

The revenue of the country hhs chiefly been derived from the guano beds on the islands off the coast, which heretofore has netted a handsome sum. Whether these deposits are inexhaustible, or what their value now is, we have no means of knowing, but it is said these deposits will enter into the negotiations for peace -in fact they are the only assets that Peru is possessed of. When she has lost them she will be poor enough. The French got badly whipped, and were mulcted by the Germans in an enormous indemnity; but there is a recuperative, building-power in the French that Peru has not. The miserable population that had n't courage sufficient to drive the invaders from their borders or defend their capital city, will be very likely to accept a state of anarchy as the inevitable, and not prove at all competent to deal with the problem of restoration.

In the opinion of the best informed, Peru has been set back fifty years by the war. THE BYRON BANK The Byron Bank of A. B. Knowlton suspended and closed its doors on Monday of last It had about $80,000 on. deposit.

How much they will get, if anything, is not known at present. A butter manufacturer, named Maynard, absorbed the funds of the bank in his speculations. Something of a stmilar case to the one at Newark. Maynard had made an assigament, which, it seems, was followed by the collapse of the bank. The Oregon Independent intimates that it is a case of combined crookedness, and says: A.

S. Maynard, the butter and cheese man, to whose failure and the closing of the bank is attributable, owes the bank $9,500. Both Maynard and Knowlton were arrested for fraudulent transactions, and are now under bonds to appear at the January term of the Circuit Court. The people want to find out what has become of the balance of the money that Maynard did not get away with. Knowlton says when he was making the advances to Maynard, he claimed he was shipping large quantities of butter to Boston and storing it in a refrigerator, waiting for a still further rise but it seems never to have occurred to him to find out with whom it was being stored, or to require warehouse receipts as collateral security.

Another religious crank with a pistol in his pocket appeared at Washington last week. He was disarmed, and it afterwards appeared that he was an escaped lunatic, who imagines he has a "mission" from the Almighty. Iowa City has been the scene of a terrible tragedy. A drunken and jealous policeman, named Steine, whose wife had left him and instituted proceedings for divorce, went to her father's house, where she was stopping, and killed her with a knife, also cutting her mother so badly that she is not expected to live, finishishing himself off with a dose of poison. The steamer War Eagle, one of the finest boats on the Mississippi, collided with a pier of the Keokuk bridge last Friday night and swung around and sunk near shore.

Two of the passengers were drowned. The collision knocked out the pier and one span of the bridge fell. The loss on the bridge is $50,000. This is the seound steamer sunk within a few days by running against bridge piers. Unless the pilots were drunk, such accidents are hard to account for.

The Pennsylvania road is running a lightning express between New York and Chicago, which makes the distance in 26 hours. The train which left New York at 8 o'clock Mopday morning, arrived In Chicago Tuesday morning at 9.40. Vanderbilt threatens to start a train that will beat this time 40 minutes. It has been decided in the courts that if a partner of a dissolved firm neglects to give notice through the newspapers of a dissulation of partnership, he is equally liable with his late partner for all debts contracted after the dissolution. 1 heatre.

"True Devotion" a play by the Forbes Dramatic Troupe, was rendered last evening at Union Hall, to a large audience. Ben Cotton as "Old Zachariah" and "Bob" negro characters was immense. We doubt whether there is a better delineator of the Ethiopian character, on the American stage. "Bob" as we have said is immense. Miss Idalene plays her part as "Lillie, the street singer" admirably, and her representation of Pat Rooney in his song, "Biddy the Ballet Girl was encored with great enthusiasm.

Harris, as the Jewish character was the best represensation of the kind, we have ever seen, McDowell as "Van Dyke" the villain of the play, is an excellent actor. The whole company is a strong one; and the play is interesting, full of fun and tragedy too. To-night, "Black Diamonds," celebrated piece, in which Mr. Cotton sustains a leading character, will 1 be played. 1 heatre.

If reports' be true, Pat. McGinniss, the persistent litigant, has finally got all the law he wants. It seems that while out in Iowa hunting up evidence in a civil case in which he was much interested, he on one occasion hitched his horse to one of the rails of a railway track, and a train which soon appeared struck and killed the horse. McGinniss promptly brought suit for damages, it appears, and the facts of the case developing left him in an unpleasant predicament, for the reason that 1 he had been guilty of a serious offense, and was likely to be convicted and punished for the danger caused the railway company. Journal.

The Chicago Tribune, of last Saturday, makes mention of the Hon. Willam H. Wood, formerly a highly respected citizen of Belvidere, in the following very complimentary language: "The Fourth Commissioner District of this Cicero, county Lake, is Proviso, composed of the River- towns Lyons, side, and Leyden, and the Hon. William H. Wood, the present efficient member of the Board of County Commissioners, is a candidate in that district for re- election.

His re election ought to be a foreconclusion. Judge Wood is as high-minded, honorable, reliable a gentleman as has ever had a seat in the the County Board, and is a man of excellent business judgment." On Friday the same paper said at the head of its editorial page, as follows: "Commissioner Wood is a candidate for re-election to the County Board in the Fourth District embracing Lake and Cicero, and is being hotly opposed. Mr. Wood has been one of the best members of the Board. Hi: votes are uniformly recorded on the right side, against all jobs and steals.

His defeat at a time when, in consequence of the experience he has gained, he is capable of rendering the best service to the county, would be a This is strong commendation, but the people hereabouts who know Mr. Wood will think it none too strong. St. Charles has been canvassed by six different agents for the "Life of Garfield" They begin to get a little tired of the thing. Samuel Kirk of Seward, Winnebago Co.

haa harvested nearly 1,000 bushels of fall and winter apples from his orch- ard this season. Thursday Nov. 24th, has been appointed by the President as a Day of Thanksgiving. Tickets for the best seats at the Patti Concerts in New York have been put at $10. The Gothamites don't believe in such prices, as only 30 tickets had been taken up to Friday evening.

The San Francisco Ohronicle tells of a sugar refiner on that coast whose profits are $6,000 a day. The raw sugar comes from his plantations on the Sandwich Islands. The people of Wisconsin will soon vote for a lot of constitutional amendments, one of which gives the members of the Legislature $500 for the session with no stationery, newspapers, postage stamps at all. Opening up a new country on a large scale we should say had been accomplished this season by Close Bros. Co.

in Osceola County, Iowa, as they say they opened 300 farms (for which they want as many renters) breaking from 60 to 100 acres, sinking a well and putting up a house and barn on each farm. Quite a summer's work. Such chaps count in a new country. Newark, N. J.

was electrified last week over the discovery that the cashier of the Mechanic's Bank had sunk $2,600,000 of the funds of the institution, rendering it utterly bankrupt. The cashier, whose name is Baldwin, claims that Nugent morocco manufacturers of that city have bad the money, and all there is to show for it is their paper. Nugent are a heavy firm, employing 600 men. It has been ascertained that Baldwin was getting 1 per cent commission on these accommodations, and kept them covered so that the Directors knew nothing about it. At any rate the bank is a wreck, and depositors will get nothing.

It is said that Judge Caton, of wa, has sold all his elk, to public parks in He will devote more attention to farming in the future, one of his ranches in Will county containing 1,380 acres -and there are others in that adjoining counties. He made 830,000 of improvements on one of them in one year. The judge is a rival of Vice President Davis in some of his operations. Beacon. WINKS FROM CAPRON, From our Regular Correspondent.

They also spent a few days in Bel videre. Miss Alice Fenton of Poplar Grove was united in marriage to Mr Mert Jackman of Sycamore on Wednesday at Poplar Grove. Mrs. Brett has just received another lot of new goods. We think by the number of those nobby hats she sells, the people of Capron and vicinity appreciate her good taste, both in selecting her goods and getting them up in style.

Mrs. A. L. Streeter went to Rockford Oli Wednesday with her son Bert, to procure medical advice about his leg, which has swellings on it resembling fever sores. Those who attended the dance on Friday evening, report a good time although bad weather detained a good many who would otherwise have come.

There were 25 numbers sold. Well, at last we have the platform of the town well put down. The wranglings of our city fathers over such matters of small importance, would do credit to so many Kilkenny cats. Rev. W.

B. Linscott, pastor of the Christian Church, informed his congregation that he was soon to preach his farewell sermon to them. In him the society lose a faithful pastor, a sound reasoner, and an eloquent preacher. A social was held at the residence of W. S.

We are pleased to acknowledge a present of a beautiful pair of vases, just from the Exposition. Thanks to the generous donor. Mr. T. G.

Farmer is in a low state of health of badly and mind. A rupture of long standa: is one great cause of disability. The farmers are completely discouraged trying to save their buck wheat and clover. There is no use trying, it would sprout and grow if it were tied in a bundie and hung in the cupola of the barn this weather. Our Sabbath School Superintendent and W.

C. of the Good Templar's Lodge Mr. J. R. Lilly, and his wife went to Philadelphia this week.

Good luck and no end of pleasure is what we wish the worthy pair. A young gentleman who engaged board and lodgings at Herbert Youngs' the other day, conferred upon them the title of grandparents just before their departure. Mr. J. W.

Bird and Geo. W. Dullum have just returned from Burlington, where they invested in some blooded sheep which are worth taking a look at we are told. They called on Emery Hunt at their place of business in Darien on their way home, and report them as having a prosperous trade. The above named Mr.

Bird and Dullum have a fine lot of sheep to dispose of cheap. MARRIED. the residence of the bride's parents, Nov. 2, by Rev. J.

If the pernicious habit of novel reading is ever to be abated, that end will only be attained by bringing within the reach of all classes of readers, and especially the young, works which, while marked by all the graces of style that attract us in works of fiction, at the same time possess the higher merit of being instructive. The charming series of Natural History studies to which Mr. Grant Allen gives the above not very descriptive title, is characterized no less by poetic insight and sympathy with nature than by scientific precision. The book is published as Number 26 of the Humboldt Library of Science, and is for sale by JAMES JAFFRAY. Bills! Bills send out bills to some of our subscribers who are somewhat in arrears, for the reason that we want the money.

One of the most enjoyable events of the season occurred on Wednesday evening, Nov. 2nd, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. H. L.

Bowen in Flora, it the marriage of their only child, their accomplished daughter Nellie, to Mr. Fred Hall. At 8 o'clock the happy couple accompanied by Mr. Jesse Hannah of Normal, and Miss Maggie Parkhill of Belvidere, took their places in folding door-way, 'neath an elegant floral horseshoe and other decorations, when the ceremony was very impressively performed by Rev. W.

P. Elsdon of Belvidere. The bride was very becomingly attired in white satin, bridal veil and orange blossoms, and it is needless to say looked very lovely indeed. After some time spent in congratulations, the company to the number of 140 (many expected being detained by the inclemency of the weather) sat down to an elegant supper, which was served in flue style, and everything went "merry as a marriage bell."

H. Graves, The happy couple took the eastward bound train Thursday morning, where they will visit Boston, New York, and other points of interest, also relatives in Connecticut. The good wishes of their many friends go with them, as the bride is a general favorite admired alike for her amiability and fine intellectual qualities, while the groom it is enough to say that he is in every respect worthy of the bride he has won. Mrs. Fiske, wife of the Episcopal rec- tor, returned to her home and many friends here on Tuesday evening.

Anticipating her arrival, numbers of the Christ church folks were gathered at the rectory where a table was spread and loaded down with good things brought from their own larders, besides various packages of groceries, and a very pleasant evening was spent by the party. Mrs. Fiske brings with her, as a souvenir from her friends east, and a testimonial of her grateful appreciation of kindness received, the means to purchase handsome chandelier which will be set in the new church at an early day, and in which form the good deed wrought will shine on with perpetual brilliancy, illustrating the truth that it is more blessed to give than to card Independent, The festivities connected with the silver wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Eichold, of Chicago, at Standard ball cost $20,000.

WASHINGTON, Nov. purchases of Confederate bonds are now being made by leading brokers to All orders of English customers. The average price paid to day is about $2 for each $1,000 of bonds. Most of the bonds brought here come from North Carolina, and Maryland, and it is noticeable fat that the holders seem quite as ready to sell as the brokers are There is little doubt that this purobasing movement grows out of the deposit, made by the officers of the Confederate States daring the war, of $800- 000, and the lies possibility that this wam still there anolaimed, may be divided pro rata among the bolders. of Confederate securities.
