FoRr DEs MolNEs-Is growing with a rapidity
heretofore unknown In her history-and her growth
must continue acceleratirg for years. This one
will doubt who is acquainted with the richness and
fertility of the country with which it is surrounded
and the great natural advantages which it posses
ses, in timber. stone coal, water power, Sc, &c.
These dvantages, too, have attracted and are stll
attracting in great numbers, some OF the best far
mers in the State, who making fine farms by
turning wild meadows into well cultivated fields
Last year large surplus of corn raised in this
portion of the State, and we hope and trust that
wheat enough will be produced to supply the home
market, and also reduce hat the present price
Of -four which is $500, and nearly the whole supply
OF this whole county has been from the Eastern part
of the State. The large amount Of money which has
been sent away for this purpose heretofore, has
been a serious injury to the county, and our far
mers should apply the remedy as soon possible
by pocketing this amount themselves.-Iora Star.

The Peoria and Burlington KAN hNoad.
The meeting on last Saturday night gave sure
,.dex at the interest our citizens manifest in this
,m,or,.nt work. The excessive and continued
rains had made the going bad, but Notwithstanding
this, the meeting well attended and the deter
uination manifested BY those present 70 put their
shoulders to the wheel an earnest Of the COM
pletion OF the undertaking.
We have not yet heard how muca has been
raised on private subscription at Peoria and in the
counties along the line, but we have no doubt,
when the official report is published, there will be
enough subscribed to ensure the construction OF al
least one half the road including the city and coun-
u subscriptions. We presume the road, at the
lareest estimate will not cost over one million Of
dollars, and We have reason to believe that about
100000 is already subscribed.

The MeetinS nj WapellO.


The citizens of Wapello and vicinity are wide
awake to their interests and we are glad to see it,
Small class steamers and lighters can doubtless be
used to great advantage on the Iowa and Cedar
livers, after a small outlay made for the improve
ment of those important streams. They drain a
most beautiful country, and whatever assistance
our citizens can afford in Improving the navigation
Of those rivers, we shall rejoice to see them rem
dering it without delay.
AS we understand it, we do not see that any par
ticular time is yet liked upon for the proposed meet
ing. should be so appointed as to secure a large
attendance, and we are willing that the people Of
Wapello should say when 1t shall be.
Mr. J. Grenier, the poet laureate Of the Wings of

We quote the following, to show that our friends
in the interior fully understand the benefit they will
derive from the Burlington and Peoria Rail Road.
We quote from the Fairfield Ledger
awe have made this extract, for the purpose of
showing the view taken by those who have loo al
interest at stake, of the prospects for the compile
ton Of this railroad, which, VT en- in operation will
be OF much beneti, to Fairfield, in proportion as
to Burlington.
"When our plank ROAD is completed. we will, by
this means, be in connection with good and stea-
dy market the year round, and produce be sold
to as good advantage here any other place il,
the west. Our interests inseperably identified
with those of Burlington, and every Improvement
that is calculated to aid her prosperity and growth
is Just as sure to add to ours and the necessity for
a speedy completion of our Plankroad is foreshac-
owed in the above extract, and we hope that cur
citizens will now take hold of the matter with re-
newed action and secure to the Directors who seem
DESTROYS of doing all in their power, the nee
cssary for the successful promotion OF the work.,
