A winters Ride Across Iowa.

1t was a sunny day in June, when left
my New England home, for one in the
far west and after many turns and wind
ings, | halted at the beautiful town of
Beloit, Wis. 1t was Then further decreed
that | should again journey toward the
setting sun, and find II home west Of the
turbid and turbulent Missouri.
Leaving Beloi,, Saturday, Dec. l3,
proceeded to Chicago, where | remained
ill Monday morning, and then took a seat
in the cars for Iowa City. Reached Da-
venport that evening, but as no train had
arrived from Iowa City, owing to the Sc
we're storm of the day previous, our train
was no, to proceed farther ill morning.
After considerable delay, e morning,
occasioned by the engine getting of the
track, the night previous, as the Iowa City
train came in, we finally started, drawn
by two locomotives. The snow had blown
on the track during the night, and our
progress was slow. Before going over 10
miles We were stuck fast in a snow drift.
BY considerable shoveling, and getting up
more steam, we succeeded, after sundry
ierkings, IN getting out of the drift, but
only to encounter others that were quite
as difficult to pass through. 1t was sun
set when we arrived at Iowa City, and
Immediately engaged a seat in the mai
coach for Council Bluffs, which was to de-
part in the morning. During the evening
was entertained by various individuals
with stories of the probabilities of en-
countering frequent delays, turn-overs
impudent drivers, Sc, but having commit
ted myself, l determed to run the risk Of
broken limbs, and the various i~nconven'
iencies that might occur.
II was 10 o'clock, A. NJ, before tbs
coach was ready for departure, Their,
were seven passengers,-enough for
social company. Two of them were
lately married couple, from Nermont-th
husband returning to his home on tn
Missouri slope. with his bride. 1t SCENE
a little heroic for a young woman to leav
home and friends to encounter the lncleIr
ent storms of winter, during a stage rid
of 400 miles.

New Posr OFFICE BUILDING AT OmA-
HA.-A few days since, we had the pleas.
ure of taking a peep at this new edifce,
Just erected by w, w. Wyman, the Post
Master of Omaha. 1t is a substantial
brick building, 40 feet in length, of a pro-
~portionate width, and two stories in hight
the upper story being used as the office
of the Omaha Times The lower story
is used for the Post Office, and is fitted up
in the most tasteful amer. The Boxes
and drawers together numbering some
1900, extend the whole length of the
room. For convenience and taste, taken
as a whole, it certainly exceeds the Post
Office buildings of many of the old and
wealthy cities of the east.
Uncle Sam did well in retaining the pres
ent incumbent, Mr.. Wyman ; and we are
glad TO learn hat the citizens of Omaha,
sustain him in his official course, and
highly appreciate his efforts in the cree,
ton Of such a superb edifce, for then
benefit.

Organization Of the Democratic
Party.

The Nebraskian Of last week, comes to
US with some sensible remarks IN favor of
the organization of the Democratic party.
We are among those who believe that the
time has arrived when such an organiza-
ton, is not only essential in many par'ic-
ulars, but for our well being politically, is
rendered more absolutely necessary
There is now no question, but that three
fourths of the intelligent voters of Nebras-
ka, are Democratic; indeed, policy alone in
our Territorial existance, would seem too
plainly to indicate the course for the fu-
fure certain welfare of the Territory, to
be mistaken by any, who have a Just and
proper regard, for the host of good that has
been done for the Territory, by a single
enactment of Congress. And that is de-
pending in future upon the action of the
great national Democratic party, as well
as what might reasonably be expected al
home by a sound, permanent, and healthy
organization.

Bridge Across the Platte.

From a private correspondent, we learn
that our Delegate, Judge Ferguson, had
arrived IN Washington. The Judge has
the symps,hies and best wishes of three
fourths Of the squat,ers of the Territory;
and ftom his heretofore high standing in
our community, and marked and acknowl-
edged ability, we expect much from his
hands to advance the interest of our young
and fast growing Territory. We hope
the Judge will spare 10 time or trouble in
urging upon the present Congress at the
earliest moment, an appropriation to bridge
the great Platte River. The government
has now in gold, locked up in its Treasury
vaults, many millions of dollars, which for
all the good it does where ii now is, might
as well be lying at the bottom of the Ocean.
Much Of this has been taken this year from
the hardy ,enterprislng pioneer of the wilds
of Nebraska, for the lands which cost our
government less than seven cents per acre.
1t is due US then, to say nothing about the
fostering care the general governments ha'
had, and should have over the wants and
wishes of n young Territory. Every dol
lar expended by the general government,
in the construction of roads and bridges,
yields in the future, TO the government d.
rect, ten fold- by opening up and develop
ing the resources, the vast, rapidly and
eagerly sought territory of public lands.-
Two hundred thousand dollars %appropria-
ted for the construction of a bridge across
the Platte river, would be bu, the smalles,
moiety of Uncle Sans ready means; while
The benefits accruing to the people of the
entire Territory, from such an expen-
diture in our midst, as well as the certain
ecessity of the project, would be i~ncalcn.
liable.
1t is true that the Missouri river
is a great highway to and from Nebraska
and is, If we are pleased to call 1t SO, al
5 institution we should not like to dispense
r with; but il is also true that the genera
government is no less benefited by this
great ~,horoughfare than Nebraskians. |

3 many more thousands of dollars for thu

GLASS PHENoMENA.-The electricity
of glass exceeds thtat of almost all other
bodies. If two glass balls are made to strike
each other at given force the rccoil, by vir-
tue of their elasticity! will be nearly equal
to their original impetus. Connected with
its brittleness are some very singular facts.
Take hollow sphere. with hole, and S top
the hole with the finger, so as to prevent the
external ard internal air from communicating
and the sphere will fly to peices by the mere
heat Of the hand. Vessels made of glass that
have been suddenly cooled possess the curious
property of being able to resist hard blows
given to them from without. but will be install
ly shivered by small! particle of flint doppcd
into their capiivi,ics. This property seems
TO depend upon the comparative thicknss of
the bottom; the thicker the bottom is, the
more rtanty ofbreakage by this experiment.
Some ofthese vessels, it Is stated, have resisted
the stroke of malet given with sufficient
force to drive nail into wood; and heavy
bodies, such as muskct balls. pieces of iron,
bits of wood, jasper stone, &c. have been cast
into them from height of two or three feet
without any effect yet fragment of flint no
larger than pea dropped from three inches
height has mace them fly.
