EDITOR PLAIKI>E.ii.tfc.---T see in your last issue an extralrt from an article that is going the rounds; relating to the varions candidates for Circuit Judge. The article^ in speaking of Hon. C. W. Upton speaks of him as a Ball- Koad attorney, evidently intending to prejudice the public against him. Sen­ ator-Upton'is-entitled io fair treat­ ment in the premises, which is my only excuse for writing this. 1 I personally know, that during the 28th and 29th General Assemblies Sell*- tor Upton was regarded as an anti Rail Road member, and his voice and vote were With and for the people as against the Railroads and corporations; Again I know that during the past winter, when Gov. C ullom tendered him the appointment as Rail Road and Ware-House Commissioner,his appoint­ ment was strongly opposed by Rail Road officials, they charging that his sympathies were against the Rail Road interests of the State, so much so that he was net a lit person t© stand between the people and the corporations. It is a little singular that the imputations against Senator Upton should come fitoni the source they do; in as much, as one prominent candidate for the Judg- shLp which we know of, (and his name is not Upton) is notoriously pushed for the position by an able attorney for the Chicagc & North Western Rail-way Co. If Senator Upton is for the Rail'Roads why do they oppose him. G. MTWitli regard to "the Idaho In* titans. General Howard telegraphs Jane 37: "We hive overtaken Joseph, who it well posted at the mouth of Whit* Bird creek. Chief White Bird Is In charge of the entire united bands. Joseph is the fighting cnief.. The In­ dians are bold and waiting for us to engage them. Lieutenant Trimble and the volunteers are at Slate creek. Our headquarters to-night Will be at the mouth of White Bird creek. Most of oar dead have been found and bur­ led. rescued a citizen named Manuel, who was wounded and starv­ ing. The rain* are very troublesome, the roads and trails being bad. The troops are in the best of spirits, and ready for decisive work." , i-vi. r *r£J»r Batavia Newt of Jhue 80th, jjsay*. ' On Friday Bight or last week, man whose name Is supposed to be < Wheeler, stole and drove eight cows, I belonging •to citizens of this place, to­ ward Chicago. .I'lie owners got oa the trade ef f hem en Monday^ anU started in pursuit. They found the place where the cows had bt-en milked on Friday night, a few miles east of War- renville. A young lady on the place asked the thief where he got the cows and he teld her he bought them pay­ ing 930 apiece tor them. There i* a probability of getting the cows, but the thief has had time to make good his escape." This is something new la the fhieving line, and farmers and owners ef cows will do well to keep an eye out for their herds when Suspicious penons are seen around. fifiTThe San Francisco people bar* been celebrating the one hundred and second anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill. The head man of the ec- easien was a mellow-hearted individual and strove to make the scene sad. sol­ emn and impressive. "Now," said he, referring te the orator's remarks upon the gallant dead of Bunker Hill, "the vast audience will please uncever their heads while the excellent band, under the leadership of Thomas Knqwles, ex­ ecutes a solemn dirge.? It was a fihrill- in* moment, and while yet tbe 'dirge was sounding, the people clasped their handkerchiefs to their faces and rushed out--into the nearest saloon--and when the notes ot the requiem had ceased there was scarcely a dry throat in all that great assemblage.--Chicago Jour­ nal RING WOOD ^ Passenger trains pass Itingw«M4|t*tion as * - oorao SOCTH. *$*<- (Geneva Lake PMeengeri....... i i*if. ,7:15 k.

MTThere is so much truth in the following clipping that we must give it • notice. Those in tbe habit of sen­ ding away in answer te advertisements of the kind apoken of will do well to pMte this in their hats. A Simpleton having had occasion to •eat himself, sat down on a pi a; where •n he made an outcry unto Jupiter. A Philosopher, who happened to be hoi ding up a hitching post in the vicinity, rebuked him, saying, "I can tell you how te avoid hurting youcself by sit­ ting down on pina, and will if yen will set them up." The Simpleton eagerly accepted the oiler, the Philosopher urallowed four fingers of the rum which perUheth, and replied, "N«ver $it down.14 He subsequently acquired a vast Fertun* by advertising for Agents, to whom he guarrantced $77 a week for light amji ,«aaj employment at their homes. ,J KOKAL--The wise man uitb, "There is a nigger in the fence," but the fool aendeth #n SO cents for sample and is , GREENWOOD. EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--Prominent among the many fine and permanent improvements in our immediate locali­ ty, are the large and spacious residences in process of erection, and approaching completion, of Mr. W. A. Baker. Geo. Hotchkiss and A. Stevens. They are all upon the modern style of architec­ ture, of the square roof, with heavy projections. We are ever pleased to see improvements of this character, as it adds much to the general bSnnty and value of the country. Never in the history of the West has there been a more favorable time for building than the present. Material of all kinds is remarkably low, and laborers plen- tiful. We notice that lome of the farmers have already started their mowers.-- Should the weather prove favorable during the present week a large amount of grass will be cut. The Concert given by the Scott Fam­ ily on Tuesday evening last was quite well attended inside, and quite too well attended outside. We are sorry, to be compelled to admit that we have in our midst persons of so low a cast afe to thus disgrace themselves and the community in which they live. What a beautiful sight it must have been, to have seen among the rest, those in- .dividaals j»f aldermauio proportions, running or attempting to run from the window. Hopping is apparently the best gait of one of the party whose plethoric proportions would not admit of a very rapid exit. Another of the party of no small ^dimension*, physi­ cally, made for a near fence and succeed­ ed in falling headlong over it. Shame I what an example to place before your sons. Too bad to thus attempt to pur­ loin twenty-five cents from a poor blind man whose store ef worldly goods does not number dimes to their dollars.-- Were Mr. Scott and family a band ot travel ins: gypsies, attempting to swin-, die llie public by their impositions ef fortune telling and the like, such a course would seem a little more excusi able, but when a highly respectable family, and a poor blind man at that, ccmes anions tis offering to; benefit the community equally with himself, claiming tho sympathy* and not un­ justly, ef all respectable citizens, It would seem a little barbaric to thus be imposed upon..

She reports their new home as a pleasant one, though seemingly not agreeable to their health.

We are informed thkt Mr. and Mrs. Cristy will visit Chicago this week in hopes there to find some relief for Mrs. Cristy from her long continued sickness, which has as yet baffled the skill «f our best heme Physicians.

As yet the epidemic has not reached this place. It is generally believed that a severe attack might be beneficial, especialy among our young men.
