Fearful Accident.

We learn from the Peru Sentinel, that
on Thursday last a fearful accident hap
pened at the new courthouse. The build
ing has reached the square, where the rool
timbers are to be put on, and the carpen-
tiers were adjusting those timbers at the
time of the accident, using for that pur-
pose scaifold which seems to have been in
sufficient. a heavy weight of timber ri
sing upon the frame work it broke one OF
the cross beams which receives the iosts
and whole section of the work, with the
workmen and lumber, was precipitated tc
the oists of the second and first floors.
Five persons were on the scatlold oil
framework when it fell. One man jumped
on the wall just as the rcaffoid was giving
way, two had each a les broken, and they
were otherwise badly injured; one of them
fell TO the fist set of joists-had one hand
badly crushed, and a fr!ghtful cash on the
side of his head. The other is able TO be
on foot.

when these roads are built, there must ovi-
dontly be corresponding rise in the price of
lands here. The emigrant can come here now
and buy unimprovcd prairie lands, that far
surpass those Of Wisconsin and Northern
Illinois. while it equals that of Southern Ill
inois and very far surposses them all for
healthhlness of climate. Let him como and
buy quarter section for eight or nine hun
bred dollars, and by the time he has got hall
of one eighty acre lot under good improve
ment, he can sell the other eighty for three
OF four times more than he gave for the
whole.
This is not visionary, but will be realized
by thousands. Yet it is not all poetry, for
he, who would avail himself of the advanta-
ges of an early settlement, must subject him
self to some of its disadvantages True, he
will not suffer like those who preompted their
farms, for they had to wait for the saw-mill,
the Touring mill and other advantages that
are to be found now in almost every little
settlement. In short, he pays a little more
for his farm and it costs him considerably less
to improve it. Iowa is a healthy State; not
one is more so in all the West. 1t is distin-
guished for high rolling prairie, excellent wa
ter, and few swamps hence it has less OF
ague than Wisconsin or Minnesota, and less
of bilious fever than Illinois or Missouri
Much more might be said respecting the
excellence of the state in gonoral-its eli
mate, soil, productions. &c. which will be
attended to hereafter, as the present design

ularly to the town in which he resides and

For the Waterman and Journal.

1t is not till within few years that Yer
monters have talked of this State as desra-
bic part of the West, simply for the reason
that but few of them had ever been here
and yet it is true that no western state or ter
ritory presents at the present time so many
inducements 10 the emigrant So long as it
was a frontier settlement, few came to it from
the east. Then they could come by the lakes
as far as Chicago OF the lake towns of Wis
consin but to come here would subject them
to still further and more tedious journey
overland. The result was that Illinois and
Wisconsin were settled first and their rail-
roads constructed as far west as the Missis-
sippi river. Their lands, which but few
years ago were mostly at government price,
are held at exhorbitantly high rates. Three
years ago unc dtiyated prairie lands at Polo,
on the Illinois Central Railroad, could be
bought at five dollars per acre, while now it
commands fifty to one hundred dollars oven
ten miles back from the road Yet this is
only one of thousand instances of the kind
in Illinois and Wisconsin. Indeed. man
might almost as well think of buying farm
on the Connecticut river, as in the better
parts Of those States. Such is not the case
non in Iowa; but it is safe to say that it will
be in less than five years. This State is no
longer frontier; Nebraska and Kansas are
west of it; these are fast settling up and
Iowa is the great emigrant thoroughiare to
them. Congress made extensive appropria-
tions to Iowa last year for four railroads,
running parallel quite across the State
Then there are several other roads projected,
many OF which will be constructed; NOW

HORSES TOO WE'LL FED

From Dadds Veterinary Journall
The following remarks of a sl,ilful practi-
toner and close observer, are worthy of at
tontion Dr. Dadd has been, however, more
uniformly fortunate in the horses which have
passed before his eyes than some others
Horses are often overfed with grain. but we
never knew one to eat too much hay or grass
when it was supplied regularly. They arc
rarely attacked with disease when little or nc
grain is given them or if given. when sup
piled in small and regular quantities The
most frequent causes of disease, are high and
irregular feeding, hard and irregular working
and exposure and water when warm by ox-
ercse.
A great proportion of our horses arc too
well fed--obtain more food than they require
In this land of plenty most of our valuable
horses are overfed, and more especially does
this happen among animals owned by wealthy
and liberal individuals. The impression we
wish to conyeyt to the mind of the reader is, that
the food Of such is not proportional to labor
in other words, there exists a disproportion
between the amount of carbon taken in the
form of food, and the oxygen received in the
process of respiration. Now to illustrate this
we will suppose that man engaged in mer-
has not time nor inclination to give the one
or the other the necessary amount of exer-
else; they stand up to full crib, from day
to day enjoying-or rather, gorgng them
selves with a certain amount of fodder, over
and above what they actually require and
much more Than dizzy -aally need the sur
Plus is often stored up in the form OF Glt. and
this induces acute diseases, and they die of
too much food and care. 1t is very rare that
we have occasion to recommend man 10 1eeo
his horses more literally, but almost always
the reverse Starvation is said to be the
cause of many equine diseases, but so far as
our experience goes, such cases are. in this
country, very rare. We conceive the term
starvation to be libel upon civilization and
so unfrequent is its application among ma
ton of husbandmen, that it is omitted in our
dictionaries. A man on a barren rock, or a
horse in the deserts of Arabia, might proba-
bly, starvo, but the idea of the latter starving
in the vicinity Of a well-stocked barn or sta
ble-within striking distance Of land Of
plonty-seems to us a very absurd conclusion.
There are enough horses to be found dress
ed up in the garb of starvation; having tight
skins, prominent ribs, and a cadavcrous
countenance, living, yet half dead But they
know nothing of the ' Famine in Egypt -
they get not only enough, but too much OF
the same kind.

HOW TO KEEP VEGETABLES.

Some twenty or thirty years ago, when but
little that was favorable in the character of
the inhabitants of the islands of the Pacific
was known, and it was considered dangerous
for whaling vessels to recruit at any of them
except the uninhabited, very great pains were
taken in provisioning and fitting out the YES
sells which sailed on those long and dangerous
voyages. Now, however, that our missiona-
res have visited so many of these islands and
labored among the people, recruiting stations
have been formed, where these vessels may
enter and obtain fresh provisions and vcgcta-
bles without mourning danger thereby. The
consequence is, that less pains are now taken
TO provide whale ships with vegetables, and
the means formerly rosorted to to preserve
them during the voyages, are not now in use.
A veteran old whaling captain who sailed
for many years out of New Bedford. mention
cd to us the other day that in those old fogy
times it was a common thing to preserve po-
tatoos and onions on board of whale ships in
a sound and beautiful state for several years.
and that, too, by very simple process, as fol-
lows; The try-pots amidships were first thor
oughly cleansed and were half filled with
fresh water, which was brought to a boil
The potatoes were then put into the pots and
allowed 90 remain in the buiiing water for
about five minutes they wore then taken out
and thoroughly dried on deck, which compet-
ed the process. The boiling destroys the
terminating power, and the surface of the po-
tato, to the depth of about an eighth part OF
an inch, becomes, when dry, a solid, hard
paste, which is imperyious to the air, and is
n sure protection against decay
To keep onions from decaying, the roots
were scorched with red hot iron, sufficient
to destroy the germ without interfering with
the leaves. Our informant assures us that he
has eaten potatoes and onions preserved in
this manner, three OF four years after they
had been thus prepared, and that they were
in every respect as palatable and hoalthful as
when fresh dug from the ground. tits prob
able that this simple process for the proserya-
ton of the potato might be as profitable en-
ployed on land now as il was formerly at sea
especially as there is SO much danger of its
being affected with disease. Let some one
make the experiment, and publish the result.

BENNY.
A CHRISTMAS STORY.

I had told him Christmas morning,
Ashc sat upon my knee,
Holding fast his little stockings
Stuffed as full as full could be,
And attentive listening to me,
With face dcmure and mild,
That old Santa Claus who filled them,
Did not love a naughty child.
"But ven be good, won't we, modcr "
And Oft my lap he slid.
Digging deep among the goodies
In his crimson stockings hid
while / turned me to my table,
Where a tempting goblet Stood
Brimmng high with dainty egg-nod,
Sent me by a neighbor good.
But the kitten there before me,
with his white paw, nothing 10th,
Sat, by way Of entertainment,
Tapping of the shining froth
And in not the gentlest humor
At the loss Of such treat,
confess, rather rudely
Thrust him out into the street.
Then. how Benny's blue eyes kindled
Gathering up his precious store,
He had busily been pouring
In his tiny pinafore,
With a generous look that shamcd me,
Sprang he from the carpet bright,
Showing by his mean indignant
All baby's sense Of right.
" Come back, Harvey called he, loudly,
As he held his apron white
" You shall have my candy wabhiti"
But the door was fastened tight;
SO he stood abashed and silent,
In the centre Of the floor,
With a defeated look alternate
Between me and on the door.
Then, as by some sudden impulse,
Quickly ran he to the fire,
And while eagerly his bright eyes
Watched the flames go higher and higher,
In brave, clear key, he shouted
Like some iordly little ELF,
"Santa Klaus, come down de chimney
Make my modor have herself"
al will be a good girl Benny,
Said /, feeling the feproof;
And straightway recalled poor Harvey,
Mouing on the gallery roof
Soon the anger was forgotten.
Laughter chased away the from.
And they gamoblled meath the live oaks,
Til the dusky night came down
In my dim frc-lighted chamber
Harvey purcd beneath my chair,
And my play-vorn hoy beside me
kucot to say his evening prayer;
God bcss fadcr--God hess modcr;
God hess sister, then pause,
And the sweet young lips devoudy
Mumurcd, " God bess Santa kansi"
He Is sleeping, brown and silken
lie the lashcs long and meek,
Like care-siug, clinging shadows
On his plump and peachy check
And bend above him weeping
Thankful teaTs-Oh. Indebted,
For fnman's crown Of glory,
For the blessing OF a child.

THE NEw SUGAR CANE.-At recent
meeting Of the Massachusetts, State Board OF
Agriculture, on motion of B. 2. Poore, Esq,
it was voted that the committee of the Board
recommend a series of experiments on the
Chinese Sugar Cane the coming year. II
was remarked by Colonel Wilder that this
sugar cane, which is now attracting so much
attention in all parts of the country, will, to-
gether with other saccharine productions
soon to be experimental upon, effect a rcvo-
luton in the sugar interests of the country.

This quaint little poem is translated from the Germa

Their names are I-Havc and O-Had-I;
Have will come tamely and perch on your hand,
But o-Had-l viii mues. you most sadly

But his worth is by far more enduring
Than a thousand o-Had-rs, that sit far and high
On roofs and on trees aurng.

And sing you " BE CHEEKY be cherry
o merry then will the day glide away,
And sweet shall your sleep be when weary.
But let an O-had-I once take your eye
And longing to catch him once seize you,
Hen give you no comfort nor rest till you die
Lifelong hen torment you and tease you.
Hen keep you all day running up and down hin,
Now racing. now painting and creeping.
While far overland, this sweet bird at his will,
With his golden plumagc is sweeping
