AFALsEHocD RErUrED.-Ths following we
cut from the Oskaloosa Herald. 1t places
the brand of falsehood upon the Gazette's
recent attempt to injure Judge Mckay BY
charging intemperance upon him. 1t is i'm
portant that an Editor, when he undertakes
the dirty business of blasting the private
character of a man and canvassing his private
habits, should in addition to the natural in
herent meanness of the operation, resort to
open falsehood, as we'll Is detraction-or if
he does-should perform the operation in so
bungling manner as to insure his own con-
viction in the eyes of all intelligent men:
We, tho undersigned, citizens of Warren
county, having seen paragraph, taken from
the Burlington Gazette, wherein it is insin-
uated that the Hon. WILLIAM MCKAY, can
didate for com'r Of the Des Mones River
Improvement, is in the habit of drinking ar
lent spirits, take this occasion to say that we
have been personally acquainted with Judge
Mckay for several years, and know that the
insinuafion is unjust and untrue; and with
out foundation in fact. We know Judge
Mckay to b. a temperance mar, and any one
that asserts to the contrary, asserts that
which is false.

SuRG:cAL OPERATION. Prof. Hughes per-
formed very difficult operation last Friday
morning at the Medical College. The pa
tlent wa lad of l6, named Snyder, from
Burlington, who has suffered for ID years
from false anchylosis of the maxillary bones,
the result of sloughing after scarlet fever.
His mouth was perfectly tight, not even adj
hitting thin knife blade between his teeth.
There seemed to be perfect adhesion of the
left cheek to the jaw partially ossifed.
The patient being under the influence Of
chloroform, the Professor proceeded with
knife and saw to sever the adhesion. The
operation was successful. but more difficult
than WAS anticipated. We saw the patient
in the afternoon, when the DIR. applied an
ingenious instrument, Of his own invention,
to pry open the jaws gradually. 1t was ex-
ceedingly painful, but the sufferer bore it
ike hero. The mouth was opened nearly
to the extent Of an inch and half.-Keokuk

GRANDEUR OF NIAGARA FALLS AT THIS TINE.
The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser of the
10th says: Those who wish to see Niagara
Falls in their majestic winter robe, and in
terrific sublimity, sholld now improve the
opportunity. Probably there is no sight in
the whole world so impressive grand as the
Fails present at this time. The unpreceaent
ed duration of extreme cod weather has al
lowed the spray, which winter and summer
falls in an unceasing shower, gradually to
accumulate in huge cones upon the rocks at
the foot and in fron. & the Falls, to an i'm
IN snse size and height. The trees on Goat
Island and on the Canada side present an as
pect of being chisslcd from alabaster or Par
ian understanding within the influence
OF the spray from the cataract pres. nts this
singularly beautiful appearance-indeed, so
immense has been the accumulation of the
frozen spray upon the trees, as1n some instan-
ces to break down trees with trunks over n
Foot in diameter. The streams which ever
percolate through the over hanging rocks on
each side OF the Falls are gradually CONCEAL
ed into the semblance of immense stalactites,
regular colonades. Then when the sun
lights upon the scene, it gires the beholler
more the ideas of fairy land than Of reality.

The AMERICAN WoMEN.-The following
is a forcible analysis of the difference between
the French, English, Italian and American
women, and will bear close examination
and repeated readings:
The English woman is respectable and
proud; the French gay and agreeable; the
Italian WON IN is ardent and passionate; the
American woman sincere and affectionate.
With IN English woman love is principle;
with French woman it is caprice; with an
an Italian it is a passion; with an American
it is a sentiment. A man is married to an
English lady; united to French woman;
cchabits with an Italian:-and is wedd d to
American. An English woman is anxious to
secure d lord; French woman companion;
an ltalian q lover; an American husband
The Engilshman respects his lady; the French
man esteems his companion the Italian
adoreS his mistress; the American loves his
wife. At night the Englishman returns to
his house; the Frcnchman TO his establish
ment; the Italian to his retreat: the American
to his hoa e. When an Eng ishman is sick
his LADY visits him: when Ffenchman is sick
his companion pities him; when an Italian
is sick his mistress sighs over him; whom an
American is sick his wife nurses him.
When an Englishman dies his lady is bereay-
ed; when an Italian dies his mistress aments;
when an Am 'rican dies his wife mourns
An English woman instructs her offspring;
French woman teaches her progeny; an
Italian rears her young; an Amer can edu-
Gates her child

Iowa BUsINEss.-The trade of our young
State, the most of which has followed tho
river to st. Louis, will now, very much Of It.
take another direction, upon the completion
of our Chicago Railroad. Young as we are,
our prairies are now and ~ill continue to
turn Of an immense product of grain. Iowa
must inevitably become a'grazing country,
and will very soon rival older States, not on
y 10 grain, but stock growing.
St. Louis is aware that she must lose a
large portion of this trade unless some eff
fort is madc to retain it. The Republican
has the following:
Two things at least must be done, right
speedily, to retain this Northern trade
First, the North Missouri Railroad must be
completed to connect with the Hannibal and
St. Joseph Railroad, and to reach the Iowa
line, whence it will be Immediately continued
through Iowa. By this means we should
have uninterrupted communication with the
country North of us, by the river in times Of
high water, and at all times by railway. Our
Legislature ia Mt present celebrating upon a
plan for the completion Of our whole system
Of Railroads. Let them act upon this ques-
ton, wisely, yet boldly, and the work may BIS
done, for money is growing more abundant
every dav, and will continue to become cheap
er for some time to come.
