large city. Now buildings are going up on
every hand; warehouses and wharves are be-
ing built, and already the high bluffs around,
from which a splendid view of the city can
be had, are being crowned with houses. The
Illinois Central Railroad is completed TO
Dunlcith, small village opposite Dubuquc;
ina short time the railroad west from Dubuque
will be commenced, and before many years,
| entertain a strong hope, the great Northern
Pacific Railroad will be completed, and the
idea that it is an undertaking too great to be
performed, looked back upon with surprise.
The tide Of emigration westward this
Spring has been unusually large, and every
day our streets are lined with the teams Of
cmigrants on their way to find home nearer
the setting sun.
Dubuque has population Of from 1000
TO 5000 and is growing rapidly. The prin-
cipal building material used here is brick,
altho' a great many houses are stone. We
have some splendid buildings among which
are II churches-wliicl speaks well for the
morals Of the place.
In conclusion l would say to your many
friends, if they want to find a good home in
the West, Iowa is the place.
Truly yours, Ben.

EDITOR OF The CECIL WING Dear Sir:-
In reading yonr valuable paper find many
letters from different parts of your county
and elsewhere; and having lately seen one
from Fort des Moiues in this far-oH State, l
have concluded to send a sketch of Dubuque.
Dubuque is one of the many western towns
which in few years have grown to be cities;
it is situated on the west bank Of the Missis-
sippi on low piece of ground, on each sid c
and back Of which there are high bluffs very
similar to the Highlands on the Hudson river.
The city derives its namo from Julian Du-
buque; the first white man who settled where
it now stands. He was of Spanish and French
origin, and for several years before coming
to this country was miner in the mines OF
Spain.
Much Of the wealth Of Dubuque is derived
from the lead mines in its vicinity, from which
an immense quantity Of that metal is annually
raised. These mines were worked as early
as the year 1900 and the mineral was taken
across the river by the Indians, the whites
not then being allowed to cross. There are
many thrilling stories connected with the
times when the whites commenced working
the mnes-stories of the r capture by the
Indians, their escapes, and Of the many dcs-
peratc fights between the two races.
There was considerable difficulty at orc
fine between the settlers here and the Go, :
crnrnent AS the land had not been bought
from the Indians the Government did not al
low any one to work the mines, and com

agricultural.

1.-THE following is from the Gcaess,c
Farmer. We presume the large wheat
grower of the State of Delaware, referred
to. is our friend Maj. John Jones of Wheat
land, Bohemia Manor:
BEWARE or CITING WHEAT PRENArrRELY.
One of the largest wheat growers in the
State of Delaware, who uses between fifty
and sixty tons Of guano year, informs US
that he lost nearly three thousand dollars bv
cutting his wheat prcmaturely, and thereby
causing 1t to shrink badly at tho harvest of
1852. He was induced to dcviatc from his
usual practice by reading an extended article
on harvesting wheat written by Mr.. Edmund
Ruilln, of Virginia, who Is generally rcgar-
dcd as high authority, being himsclfa pref
ty large wheat grower. Nothing is easier
than to misjudge as to the precise time when
this important crop ought to be harvested.
II has frequently been asserted that so soon
cs the milk disappears, and the seed is in a
"doughy state the grain should be cut.
This, we believe, is little too early; as it is
a little too late after the seed is hard and dead
ripe.
The farmer is seldom able to cut down his
entire crop at the exact time when it will
yield the most weight of grain and flour: and
hence. Mr.. Ruilin suggests, it is often
deemed better to harvest a little too early
than great deal too late. BY the use Of
wheat reapers propelled by horse power,
farmers are able to cut large fields of wheat
at. or very near, the proper time. The dry
ing of the straw Immediately below the head
by which the ascent ofsap is arrested, is one
of the most relicabls indications of the mat
urity Of the plant, and of the necessity Of cut
ting and curing it. Many wheat growers,
particularly in the tobacco and cotton grow
ing States, permit their wheat to stand too
long in the shock, or in small stacks, before
it is either thrashed or properly housed
Birds vcrmin, and other animals destroy
much oft, and sometimes protracted rains
cause the grain to sprout, and the crop is
half wasted from sheer carelessness.
