DEBORAH.
We have the most hattering accounts of the
progress Of this thriving Town. We hope to see
II ere long and then we viii take occasion to
speak Of it from personal examination.
ARail Road meeting has recently been held
there, and the proceedings as We find them in the
Rspubl;can, promise an early and active prosecu-
ton ofthc work on the part Of the North Western
Company. Committees are appointed to solicit
subscriptions of stock and such other preliminary
movements are marked out as will set the ball
rolling up towards St. Peters and st. Paul
A connection with the McGregor Road, as con-
templated, will give Minnesota and DEBORAH, the
nearest route to the Lake at Milwaukee. There
is no necessity ofSt. Paul freight or passengers
going to Dubuque to start cast, when the trip
can be made on cheaper and shorter line-
Dubuque has sent her messengers to st. Paul to
secure q slice of that Land grant interest Why
can not Winneshiek Comfy check-mate the
Dubuque players Decorah and Frankyille must
not rub their eyes too long. KIMBALL and TEA
BOUT are not sleepy men however and we expect
they are handling the wires about right. Allow
US to hint that North Iowa Towns must make
every cxertion possible, THIS SrRIyG-to defer is
to die!

An Article in the last West Union Pioneer de-

little.
We have not one remark to make p-cjulicial
to CLAYTON. Her Merchants and Forwarders
are accommodating gentlemen. and we trust they
will co business that will justify them in the
large outlay they have made in erecting good
Warehouses There is much truth in the Pioneer
article relative TO the insucicncy of our conven-
inces at McGREcoR, but thus far it has not been
possible for ctizcnsto better them our frcehts
too arc 50 immense that no ordinrry Ware House
arrangements in young town could protect all
from the wearher. That We have the most ac-
ccssible point for the transmission of interior
frcights is not questionable is concession that
is marked by scheeIs1 from West Union south
wardly, to Preston, Mankato and Lake Albert

they yet have near $1,000 over the corntry--they
haze also been subject to suits at law to recover
in some instances. Their experience has suggest
cd the change in 1857.
The treatment of West Union Merchants has
been no more rigid than that practiced towards

Fire!
They came near having a destructive fire at
Monona the other day an early discovery saved
the Town. A Monona friend advises our readers
to look at their stove pipes, and guard by every
precaution against the devouring element. We
say 80 too. Our houses are mostly made of lum-
Der and they are of course highly combustible :
Stovc-pipes want cleaning or re-fxing. shayings
are lying all about and the winds are SO strong
in the Spring as to render fire unmanageable.

at all times and kept sacred for public use in
