The friends Of Gov. Walker say he has COM

The very practical virtues of "Crowbar
Law" were tested in this city, Saturday.
Armed with an attachment taken out BY one
Of our prominent citizens, and equipped
with crowbars, cold chisels, and similar in
struments, the Sheriff affected an entrance
into the bank vault of E. w. Clarke & Bros,
who suspended payment not long since. The
result Of this official boring was the discov-
cry of $500 and the books Of the firm, which
the Sheriff took possession of.-Euening

Iowa Sofyho Syrup.


The Des Moines Citizen, says that gen.
tlcman of Story County obtained 46 gallons
Of molasscs from less than l-S of an acre of
tho cane. Another farmer in the same
County, from ID Of an acre obtained one
hundred aud eight gallons. Thus it will be
seen that in few years, molasses will not
be imported from the South, because it will
DO manufactured at home cheaply, and in
requisite quantities. The Citixen further
says that the syrup is an excellent substitute
for Southern importations, being well-fla-
vored-in fact, delicious.

Discharged Meeh.sie. EaI,s.i.s q he Army

Discharged Mechanics EAItettnS In the Army
The United States recruiting service is
thriving in these hard times. Since the man
iufactories md other establishments which
give SO much employment to the laboring
classes have been discharging their hands,
the enlistment Offices in this city have been
besieged BY those thus thrown out of work.
The United States army will be composed II
better class Of men during the next FIVE
years in consequence Of the financial con-
vulsion than it has had in its ranks for a
long time. There are two principal recruit
ing Offices in the City, one at No. &c Chat
ham, street, and the other at No. lis Cedar
street, and there are branches of both in
different parts of town. The recruiting SER
vice until within month past was, as it
generally is in time Of peace, very DULL
Able bodied men were advertised for, re-
cruiting sergeants devoted their time to the
labor of procuring men able and willing to
enter into Uncle Sans service with liber-
nj compensation and allnecessities supplied,
but still it was with great difficulty that they
could be obtained. The army is composed
of foreigners, mostly Germans, who have
many Of them left their kindred in father
land. But since the commencement of the
hard times, mechanics, tradsmen and labor
ers, a great many of them Americans, con-
stitute the large majority of those who have
manifested their willingness to become SOL
diers. Between 80 and 40 men apply now
daily at the offices; five OF six are every day
taken into the service. The rule is to take
only unmarried men into the army; they are
enlisted to serve FIVE years. Their pay is$ll
to 1922 per month, including board, clothing
and medical attendance. A certain amount
$40 the first years appropriated for
each mans clothing. The sum thus set apart
is larger than the actual requirements of
each, and if the soldier omits to draw the
whole of it yearly, the residue is paid to him
at the expiration of the term of service. To
each man promotion is the reward offered
for meritorious conduct. Two detachments
of recruits will shortly leave the City to en-
ter on the duties of the soldier; one of 400
men will start for California on the Goth inst.
and another of $50 will depart-their desti-
nation is not yet determination the 9TH of
November. There is very little in the Uni
ted States service to disgust an honest man
thrown out of employment and anxious to
obtain the means of support. The Army
Regulations require every man to do his du-
ty and keep clean. Every man is inspected
on his part to be uncleanly in person or to
omit changing his under clothing twice a
week. The rations though often homely are
always substantial and nutritious, and the
daily exercise which soldier takes added to
these other precautionary measures, by
which disease is kept at distance, should
make him the healthiest of men. If the
United States Government could find en-
ployment for larger army at present, there
would be no difficulty in filling its ,anks.-N.

A SNOW STORM.

IT'S fearful night in the winter time,
As cold as Il ever can be;
The roar Of the storm was heard like the chime
w the waves on the angry sea.
The moon Is full, but her silver light
The storm dashes ont with his wings toll ght;
And over the sky, from south to north,
Not a star Is seen as the winds come forth
In the strength Of mighty glee.
day the snow came down-au day
As IL never came down before;
And over the earth at night there Law
Come two or three feet or more
The fence was lost, snS the wall Of stone;
The windows blocFed and the well curb gone
The haystack grown TO a mountain lift;
And the wood lille looked like monster drift
AS iaved atthe farmers door.
AS the Fight set In, came hail and snow,
- nd the air grew sharp and chill,
Anc. the warning roar Of sullsn blow
Was heard on the distant hill;
And the Norther see, on the mountain peak,
in his breath how the old trees wrthe ana shIiek.
He shouts along the plain, ho! no!
de drives from mis- Bostrils the binding snow,
And grow!s with a savage win
