Our town has quieted down from
the effects of the earthquake, and
business is going on in its usual
channels. .We think all danger
over several days ago, and if anoth
er shake should come, a strong
frame house is about as safe a place
as any.
It is generally thought through
out the or unty that seed oats will
be worth $1.00 per bushel, but Mc
Cullough & Blackwell, with their
usual ideas of fair dealing and
quick sales and small profits, have
put on the market 5,000 bushels of
Red Rust Proof Oats at 70 cents
per bushel, this price to hold good
until the 1st of October. Come in
and buy at once.

Dirty Work for Soldiers.
Who does not sympathize with
the noble-hearted British soldiers
at Birr, Ireland, whose feelings got
the better of their discipline, aud
who could not repress their indig
nation that they should have beeu
employed to turn helpless, iufirm
and starving people out of shelter
into the roadway! Men, whose
noble profession it is to face danger
aud tight their country’s battles,
may well feel themselves disgraced
when they are made to storm a but
instead of a fort, and to capture
women aud children instead of sol
diers like themselves; when they
are nsed as the dirty instruments
of power to oppress the very peo
ple whom it is their duty and their
honor to defend. Should they be
tried for mutiny aud be shot, it will
be less revolting to their noble na-
tares to face the fatal platoon, than
to wring tears from the eyes of the
miserable women and children of
Ireland —A r «iw and Courier.
