for storage. The flames spread in ever,

posed, from about 1000 bags of salt petr'
stored in Brooks warehouse.
Many lives were lost, among whom
were many valuable, energetic, and nobl,
/ tiremen of these at least thirty are sup
posed TO be killed, and ten or more of III,
wounded will probably die. The 'ota
number cannot be less than 100. Jhdg

Who is MIR Bailey:

8 We see it stated that Mr. Bailey proposes to
fa.'ecture US HawkEyes, and convert us to No-par-
Styism. Who is he? We dare say he has once been
fan Aholitionist or disappointed office seeker.-
B There is Codding, who now processes to be a no.
3par;y man and who was delivering lectures in Du-
Shuque and Galena while we were there few weeks
since, On the new humbug called Bioloqy Why
adid he 60 this? Why, his occupation, as an aboli
suon lecturer was gone He had to take IN some
4 thing for living. He must have some hobby; so
he has taken up Biology and makes folks believe
gin the utmost absurdities. The question recurs,
k,who is this hybrid, Mr. Bailey? We warrant for
khis noparty notions, that he is great partizan
Gas any among us. There is no such thing as neu
CRAFTY with our people. We must be for against
! something or everything. He who processes thus
], to be nobody is either knave fool. He will
show that he is partizan in everything he under
stakes. He will be either for or against the Com.
promise, for or against Mr. Clay-for against the
sidea OF Cholera being contageous--for or agains,
I biackiegs-always for himself and always against
Z every one who opposes him. So long then, as he
is for or against any thing, he cannot be neutral
y Caa he? If this is not the picture of a no party
sman, we know not how to draw one. Who is MI
4 Bailey, and who asked him to come?

The Cottage homes Of Iowa
Are spreading far and wide,
Half seen amid tho young shade trees,
And modest as bride,
They dot the prairc's rolling breast
And gem the verdant hills,
Or seek quiet, fairy rest,
Beside the gurglins rills.
Ole Winters reign in Iowa
Is long and piercing cold;
Bnt blazing fires upon the hearth
Shut out the frost-king bold.
And when the noble forrest trees
Unfold their tender sheen,
And softly blows the southern breeze
How lovely is the scene
Perhaps you see broad expanss
OF fertile prairie land,
Or whispering woodlands gently bend
To greet the silvery strand
Where sweeps maiestically the waves
OF him the s.Father'' styled,
who here with playful, fondness laves
Ye his bright and favori.e child.
PERHAPS the hills Of Iowa
With graceful, sweeping curve,
Rise, matted with the velvet robes
Which freshest tints preserve,
Or elens re-eCho back again
The p.oughman's cheerful notes,
As from the fields Of waving gram
The hum Of labor floats.
Oh, sweet the laughing, rosy spring,
And ba.my summers breath,
Which with the souh's rich odors bring
Nor pestilence, nor death.
And fairer than poets dreams
The glowing landscapes lie,
Reflected back from crystal streams
And smiling to the sky.
AS joyous as the light of heaven
The maideDs pure and fair,
who make her cottage homesteads shine,
And scorn no household care.
They milk and churn, they spin and weave
With merry word and glance,
But every thought of labor leave,
To mingle in the dance.
And plentious, young Iowa,
The harvest gathered in
To bless those wintry months, the toll
Entailed by Adams sin.
And like an oak in towering pride
Which yields not to the storm,
Thy suns will breast expressions tide,
Or shed their Iife-blood warm.
