DECEMBER 1. The Union Sentinel notes the fact that A. P. Browning has brought into the county two full blooded Chester White pigs and that Capt. Morrill has brought in a full blooded Durham bull and a cow, and three Cashamere goats, and commends these gentlemen for their efforts to improve the live stock of the county.


DECEMBER -. Col. E. Bierer begins the practice of law in Hiawatha.


DECEMBER 29. Captain Morrill informs us that he has written to one of the most reliable and enterprising dealers in seeds in the east, enquiring what the prospects are of obtaining Osage Orange seed, and at what rates. The in- tention is to secure 100 or 200 pounds at the lowest possible price, and sell it for cost for introduction in the county. It is hoped that the best article can be secured and brought here in so large a quantity, at from $1.00 to $2.00 per pound. The Captain has an idea that he can afford to sow for himself 20 to 25 pounds next season. Osage Orange is the kind of a fence for this country .- Union Sentinel.
