BoNNETs FOR SPRING.-The New York
Millincrs opened their spring fashions
ON the lst The Times says that the
new bonnets seem very beautiful to
cultivated eyes, though our grand
mothers might have thought them
some what grotesque. The capes are
growing more shallow, it is true, but
there is corresponding elongation Of
fronts and,depression Of crowns which
makes up the deficiency. Some of the
bonnets however, were very tasteful
and artistic, and were proudly dis
played by some of the milliners as
the highest expression of their art.
Deep blonde is used profusely for
trimmings, as are feathers and rich
flowers. Exotics seem most in vogue;
the passion for apple blossoms and
simplicity is well nigh out-grown.-
Children's bonnets are trimmed with
feathers, and have a deep fall of lace
depending from the rim. Boys hats
have large, low crowns, and are loop
ed with feathers or straw buttons
Leghorn is the favorite MATERIAL
Fichus continue to be in favor we
saw some very beautiful ones with
flower trimming. Coifures Of en-
broidered lace, trimmed with flowers
and gold leaves, are at once fashions
BILE and tasteful. The great feature of
the season seems to be a profusion of

SHELL-ROCK FALLS.

This is the name of town recently
laid out in Ccrro Gordo County, Iowa,
and which bids fair to become a place
of no little importance. tits situated
upon high ground, in grove of beau
tiful timber, upon the east bank of the
Shell-Rock River, a tributary of Cedar
fi-er, and is surrounded by as good
farming lands as can be found in the
State. There are two falls in the riv.
or opposite the town, affording ample
facilities for an extensive water-power,
portion Of which is already improv-
ed. Quarries of excellent building
stone abound in the vicinity. The
surrounding country is high and gent
ly undulating, and is famed for the
good health of it's inhabitants. Cerro
Gordo County is rapidly filing up with
an enterprising and intelligent popu-
lation, and for young men of good hab-
its and small capital who desire to go
to a new place and grow up with it,
we know of mono that offers more in
ducements than Shell-Rock Falls. The
town is eight miles from Mason City,
the County-seat, fifteen miles from
Usage, seventy-five from DEBORAH, one
hundred and ten from Lansing, and
three hundred and eighty from Chi
cago. A number of roads already GEN.
ire at the place, and it will stand a
fair chance of being on the line of
some Of the many projected railroads
of Iowa.
Mr.. l.. Corey is proprietor of Shell
Rock Falls. He is represented to us
as liberal and energetic man, and
is offering such inducements to actual
and worthy settlers as will lead to it's
rapid growth, and secure for it a sub
stantial and desirable population. He
is now selling lots for a mere nominal
sum to persons who will improve and
settle upon them. Young mechanics
and business men who are willing to
aid in building up place, and having
both the labors and the rewards will
find it to their interest to inform them
selves as to the advantages and pros
poets of Shell-Rock Falls.-CAieago
Dem. Press.
We are well acquainted with Mr..
Corey, and know something Of the
town of Shell-Rock Falls. We can
cheerfully endorse the above article,
fully believing that persons who wish
to make investments and become set
tiers at Shell-Rock Falls, will find the
place and its enterprising proprietor
to be all that is reported of them.

PROFANITY USEFUL.

We have heard a story of worthy
clergyman, who had, however, retired
from the desk, and was addicted to
violent out-bursts of temper, on which
occasions, it is said he sometimes for
got his God, sufficiently to let drop ex-
pressions closely bordering on the pro-
fame. Doubtless the good man repent
ed thereof, humbling himself abjectly
for such frailties Of his nature ; still
he was liable to sin yet again.
Among other property, he owned
quite large farm, only partially i'm
proved, in remote settlement, through
which flowed small stream. He had
never visited the place, but left it in
care of trusty agent.
One fine morning in the spring, his
agent visited him, with his first year
ly account. After balancing accounts,
and paying over the proceeds, the
agent informed the owner that the
creek had risen and swept away some
hundreds of dollars worth Of fences,
haystacks, etc, and inquired what he
should do in the premises. Chagrined
at his loss, and being in no enviable
mood at the meagre returns from the
place, the owner calculated quite
warmly:
Oh the creek |"
Beg your pardon" returned the
agent, ~ didn't exactly understand
you. The creek
"Oh, d-n the creek-get out"
Certainly, sir as you WISH" and
the agent took his nat and departed
On the way he reasoned with himself
thus:
"Now, I should have called that
swearing, if he wasn't minister
"Dam the creek what in the deuce
will he do with the water power! l
wish knew now whether he meant
dam it, or d--n it. Well, must
obey orders, any way, and he'll foot
the BILL"
Three months from that time, the
worthy ex-clergyman was still more
sorely tempted to swear, over the fol-
lowing letter from his agent:
Rev. SIR AT your request, !
have damned the creek in q neat and
substantial manner. Enclosed find
bill of $500 for the job. What shall
! do with the water power ?-it is a
good one. Yours,
