The DesmOines River, and MIR.
O'ReiIly.

Wehave received letter from Mr..
o Reilly, dated at Dunkirk, Dec. 24th.
Although ..confden,ial," because, as The
writer says--he wi,hes that acts and
not promises shall speak for him, we
feel al liberty TO say that the Contractor
is entering upon the work, with the most
undoubted assura nces of success. His
! spirit is in ii-and he will strive 10
perfect the entire improvement within
three years. Sub contractors have al
ready been engaged for almost the whole
work. Mr.. O'Reilly is man of ire
mendous energy, and The people OF the
Valley may rely upon it that this long
desired enterprise will be carried through,
now if ever, The only Mndrance to it
is the fact that slackwater navigation has
been much disparsged of late by The
friends of Railroads. We believe. how
ever, that eastern Capitalists will see
tina. 10 this case, it will he paying in
vestmen,--and no one certainly will
represent this 10 them with more perse-
verance or better chance ofsuccess, than
Mr.. O'Reiliy.
The contrac, with this gentleman
has come in good time for the friends Of
river navigation, as strong movement
was JUS, being made, seconded by pow
erful Railroad interests, for the diversion
Of the grant toward building railroad up

TA writer in the Fl. Des Moines
Star. who signs himself 'Populi,' makes
the following very sensible suggestions
in regard to the River improvement, and
we hope they may be acted upon by Mr.
O'Rielly, who has The entire control OF
the matter. and not the Board, as Pop
uli' seems 10 think:-
Permit me TO make suggestion in
respect TO the first dams constructed un
der this contract Let one be built in
each of The counties of Wape'lo, Mahas.
ka, Marion and Polk. if moi tina, the fund.
may he more equally distributed along
the improvement. for The better reason,
then, OF creating water power where il il
needed most now. All men possessing
knowledge of the navigation Of the riv.
er, aver that The Rapids al O,.umwa is q
bad place; there is also, difficult place
al Red Rock in Marion county, and then
at Rattle Snake bend in this county,
Why wouldn't il be best for the Uholt
people of the valley that the dams locat
ed at these points be made first! car
conceive of no reasonable objection, and
trust the Board will look atihe matter. y

Sad Occurrence.

Last night, about | | o. clock, fire was
seen breaking forth from the boarding
house, at the terminus Of the Burlington
aud Peoria railroad, on the OPPOSITE
bank of the river, The house was occu-
pied by the family Of Frederick Hueslis
who had jus, retired to bed when the
alarm was given. The wind was blow
ing briskly al the time. Every exerlion
was made TO eXtinguish the flames, bu,
all was of no avail. The house was
made chiefly of pine lumber. and in a
few minutes was total wreck.
We are sorry to learn tina, little boy
belonging TO The family, was left in bed,
III the hurry and confusion of The occa
sion, and was burned to death. The
name Of the little boy was Elbridge.
He was fine promising lad, the fifth
son of Mr. Hueslis, and was abou,
four years old. Yesterday morning
they were endeavoring to discover the
remaias Of the child, but found only cin-
ders, and q few fragments of his bones.
Since writing the above, we learn
that the citizens of Burlington have done
nobly, in attempting to repair Tie losses
ofMr. Huestis, SO far as perishable goods
is concerned. His loss. in property and
money, Is Pboure5O0 and ,hissum has
