FINE SPECIMEN OF CoAL.--Dr. G. S. Eaton, OF
Salem, Henry county, called upon us yesterday,
and left at our Office samples of Camel Coal ta-
ken from beds owned by him in the vicinity of
Salem. Although his banks have not been open
ed to any extent, and as matter of course, coal
procured at the surface must be greatly inferior
to that farther in, the specimen before us is an
excellent one, can be ignited by match, burns
with bright blaze and fine light, and leaves
nothing but white ash We consider it very
pure, and entirely clear of slate.
This description of coal gives large amount
of excellent gas, more than any other descrip-
ton, but there is drawback, from the fact that
| it gives no coke For domestic use it is unrival-
led, giving blazing fire, good degree of heat,
and emitting little odor 1t is used, and consid-
cred very valuable, in the manufacture of iron in
various stages, from the ore.
Dr. Eaton has several banks. One of the veins
is four feet thick, and the supply is probably in
exhaustbe. The distance from Burlington is
twentyleight miles. The Burlington & Missouri
R. r. as well as the K, Mt. p. & II. Road, when
completed will run within a short distance of
these banks And it is probable that our city, in
short time, will be abundantly supplied, at a
reasonable price, with fine article of coal. And
to us, as matter of economy in fuel, to say no.
thing of the impetus it must give to manufactures
it is an important matter
Specimens can be seen at our office.

SCENES on THE Ice AT Sr. Louls.-The Missis-
sippi River is frozen over to the depth of three
and half feet at ST. Lous.-The Mirror of that
city, says: On the Illinois side, but some con-
siderable distance from the shore, were pitched
several canvass tents, at the entrance to which
were placed boys, halloing out hot Coffee hot
whiskey punches Tom and jerry 'whiskey
sings &c. Some of the fancy, too, and sport
ing characters had their faro and roulette tables
in full blast. At the end of the ice road at the
side is placed large board with the inscription,
in monster letters Mississippi avenue This
was the great center of attraction, as in this i'm
mediate locality everything was to be found to
stimulate and heat the inner man. Thousands
of skaters might be seen gliding in every direc,
ton over the icy surface. Boys and girls, young
ladies and their loving swains, old men and thci,
better halves, negroes of all variety of shade
from the pure African jet to the light brown
sweled the immense gathering, and completely
covered the river opposite the city. Sets were
formed on the ice, and dancing kept up until a
late hour at night.

For the Hawk-Eye and Telegraph.
Mr.. EDITOR: This morning in pursuing my
calling,I entered the dwelling of one whom
had known as competent and upright mechanic,
during the last summer. When (but how shall
describe my visit 1 opened the front door and
walked into the little front parlor, or sitting
room the other being occupied as kitchen and
bed room. All in the front room neat and
tidy but there was no fire in the HEARTH and
there was an appearance of desolation that
could be felt Huddled around little fire in
the Kitchen were the mother and her small
children, waiting for the father who had not been
home for some days. but at the grog shop was
spending the talents and money or time that be-
longs to those deserted ones at home, while they
arc suffering from want, cold and hungcr-rob-
bed of fathers love, and what for?-Yes citi-
zens of Burlington, I ask you, what for?-
rurnscer what for? what for ? Oh, God
help you, look within, and see there you
have a heart, you have sympathies some Of you
have wives and children, then think ofthose dear
ones and ask yourselves what for? UNCLE; JOE.

FIRST FErrrs OF LEAP YEAR.-In Wheeling, on
Thursday. says the Petersburg (Va.) Herald, OF
the as,h ul,., Herr Leopold was arrested at the
suit of Wilhemna iiildcbrandt, a fine locking
German girl, whom he had promised to marry.
and afterwards Sighted. The Young lady tese-
fed that Herr had sofemnlv promised 10 marry
her and was now about TO leave the city without
performing his promise Herr on the other hand
stated that Wilhelmina had frequently asked
him TO marry her. but that he had as often re-
fused. The Justice informed Herr that he must
marry the complainant, give ball. or go to pris-
on. The FIRST evil was accepted of by the victim
of leap year, and minister being called in-he
was married. The officers of the court immedi-
ately crowded around the couple with congratu-
lations which were cut rather short by the dis
satisfaction of Herr with the expressive sentence
of ITO hi NIT your traus."

rS5- In one of the streets of New London,
Conn, there is descent of half mile, and a
large portion of the inhabitants turn out every
evening to enjoy themselves in sliding down it.
On one occasion, the Chronicle states, about
1000 persons-many ofthem no; juveniles, but
old people-wcre engaged in the "coasting' bus
mess. Horses and slcighs are provided, and on
reaching the foot of the hill, persons carried
back to the place of their departure.

"De Lord he lub de Niger well,

The above piece of vulgar and senseless pro-
family is from Wednesdays Gazette, where it ap-
pears with an approving editorial paragraph
equally witty. 1t is but the opening stanza. Is
it not lovely production for the family circle
Does the taste of the readers of the Gazette crave
such intellectual food WE have not so poor an
opinion of them. No person who has so far ad-
vanced upon the road to knowledge as to be able
to spell out words and comprehend printed
paragraph but would be disgusted with this ar
gument' against the admission ofkansas as free
State! The public will readily comprehend,
that even the Gazette, which was thought to be
low enough in all conscience, has found Il lower
deep, under the management ofits present would
be anonymous editor. And the Republican
party of Iowa will see what kind of batteries are
charged for their annihilation.
AR1rIIMETIcAL PRoPosITIoN.-Ift this be a fair
specimen of the dignity and ability ofthe leading
Nebraska paper in Iowa, what may we expect
from the balance?

MATcHEs.-Mr. Burhans sent US a cord, cord
and half, or two cords of his excellent matches
the other day. B. 4 Co., are rapidly extending
their business and increasing the amount OF
their manufactures. They have lately thrown
out their old engine for larger one, employing
more hands and getting ready for greatly IN
creased business in the Spring The match bus
mess, although apparently small matter, is real
ly quite large one, atfording employment
to quite number of men, girls and boys.
B. 4 Co. deserve to, and really doing a
thriving business.

The Ger,oan pes. Master at West Point, /

The German Post Master at West Point, Lee
county, is on irty as correspondent OF the 'a
zette He informs that interesting sheet, III
letter which appears in Tuesdays paper, ina
things are going on sSinmingly in that part Q
the Nebraska vineyard. In fact, ar. Post Mas
ter Werner informs the Gazette, and through i
the Administration at Washington, that he j.
keeping sharp eye to the good OF the party
that the Germans not only Of his township, but
of Lee county and of the State, are hard at WORK
for the sham democracy, and that not only TIE
county is right, but the entire State
Mr.. Werner is a shrewd man and knowing
politician. He now has sure thing. he will
be very certain to hold the Post Office at West
Point, so long as the of Franklin Pierce Is IN
the ascendant The Laborer is worthy OF his

A PALPABLE HlT-Mr. EMEBY, in his speech at
Marion Hall, made very pretty hit which told
upon the Nebraska party. He said Kansas had
formed constitution and would shortly knock
