The Ball.

The Ball.
We have had occasion to speak Of two
social parties got up by our friend Hard
ing, prior to the one that came off on
Friday evening last. The former were
unexceptionable in every respect and the
last was exactly like the first two in it's
agrceability. 1t is conceded point we
believe, that American Hall is one of the
best dancing rooms in the country it is
equally undcniablc that Harding is one of
the most provident and agreeable Land
lords, and it will be readily admitted by
all who have heard them, that the Messrs.
CHURCH are Musicians Of high order.
The ball was attended by most of our
dancing citizens, and notwithstanding it
was held in "shanty," { to use the COM
plimentary language of the Courier they
seemed to enjoy it extremely we'll. May
we have many such evenings-they wear
off the chilling influences of an incom-
parably cold winter. aE 4.

AcKNowLEDGMENrs.-Hon. Mr.. Biye-
low Of the Iowa House Of Representatives,
continues to favor US with al the docu-
rentary valuables issued by authority Of
the Legislature. We are very grateful
for this attention. We notice that "our
members" are doing all they can to secure
Northern Iowa in her rights and interests
Mr.. B'gelew has secured the passage Of
an act authorizing the McGregor. St. P.
d Mo. X. Road. to accept Of any Land
Grant that Congress may make it. This
will save any future wrsngling over the
land by the Legislature. Mr.. B. also Of
fered resolution to repeal in effect the
Liquor Law--it failed howeyer-only
three Republicans voting for it.

HAIR SSAKEs.-It is said to be an as.

peculiar creature which we have been ac-
customed to call "Hair-Snakes." We do

rs reasonable to conclude that the creature

operation of favorable circumstances ia

velopment of life as all matter is now adj

On our outside will be found an arti.
Gle from the N. Y. Tribune giving this
gentleman great credit as U. States Com
missioner in Kansas at the recent Sale OF
Public Lands in that Territory. We
know not how much truth there may be
in the reflections on Manypenny and Nc
Lellad that close the article, but we have
the satisfaction Of knowing that more
high-minded gentleman than DR.. Eddy
never carried U. s. Commission. He
was an Indiana townsman ofours and an
acquaintance of Is years enables US to
indorse every word of the credit given
him by the correspondent Of the Tribune
We hope his valuable services will be re-
quired by the approaching administration
in sphere much higher than his modes.
ty aspires to. Knowing him to have been
warm friend of Mr.. Buchanan from the
start we have strong reasons to believe he
will " be called for" He has the talent
to fill and the character to adorn any sta
ton in the gift Of the President.

INDIANA SENATE.-This body has al
length organized and business was pro.
ceeding slowly. Lieut.. Gov. Willard
maintained his position as President Of
the Senate until Gov. Wright delivered
his valedictory. which. by the way, is Z
very able production. It is supposed al
Indianapolis that there will be no election
of U. s. Senators from Indiana at this
session-the Rep. Senate refusing to GO
into Joint Convention for that purpose
We admire their grit. tf

CoSyERsIos.-The English papers give
an account of the conversion to Protes-
tantism of the Duke of Norfolk Noble
man whose family have always been Catho-
lie. He was first awakened to the errors
of the Old Church by having ''fayorite
fall-down velvet cravat spoiled by coming
in contact with Holy Water!''
The Noble Duke must be very eco
nomical sort of Christian, to abandon a
church because Of the loss of cravat.-
AS he has joined the Baptists we are OBJ

MALs.-By the Pioneer we learn that
bids will be received at West Union to
carry the Mail Tri-weekly from that place
to Usage until June 3Oth. This is design
ed to connect with our Tri-weekly or
Daily 1--WE don't know which YETI from
Pr. du Chen to West Union. During the
next summer we hope to make our poiAt
principal Mail Depot for the Middle
North West. that part Of it lying West
of the Mississippi and between the depots
Of Dubuque and ST. Paul. Such an ar
rangement would beeminently serviceable
to the country indicated.

Go SoUrH.-When we get mad at the
severity of this climate and resolve to ego
South" it may be of benefit to us to learn
that on the 10th January. the ice at St.
Joseph Missouri, was 20 inches thick on
the river! While the mercury marked
only l2 degrees below zero! When we DO
90 South. we should prepare for longer
journey than into Mo. or Kansas, or we
may expect to be subject to weather quite
as uncomfortable as ours. We propose
to try North Iowa one winter more and
then well we don't know what will
come next.

The Island and the Courier.

Our neighbor across the River grows
hcetious over the fact that some of our
citizens have drawn pretty largely on the
poles that ornament the Island in front of
our town. The Courier supposes thattwo
reasons exist for this appropriation Of
timber One is to get an unobstructed
view Of the improvements of our -four
ishing sister city-the other, that the
McGregorites have nothing to do" and
hence "they have all turned wood chop
pers!'
We are seriously of the opinion that the
o,cners of the Islands would confer a ia
vor on the people of both towns by clean
ing off the bvush mot wood with which
it is covered. For one, we confess that
we should like to see our Badger neigh
Dor go ahead in all the improvements
which her promising future will justify.
We have no envy towards her. Good
sense has long ago taught her citizens
that her commercial life must come from
the West, and as cGREGoR is sure to get
the first and most profitable slice of that
trade, we can afford to await patiently the
opening of the chapter which Prairie du
Chen is anticipating.
AS to our ''having nothing to do" we
beg to state that, for the winter season,
our business in all departments continues
good. Our Merchants are selling great
many goods, at Wholesale and Retail. our
Hotels are doing a fair business, our Doc
tors would starve if they depended upon
medical practice. our Mechanics are bust
ly at work, our Builders are pushing
along with their contracts whenever the
weather will admit, and our Grocery and
Provision Dealers are LAYING in a supply
of necessaries for the spring accommoda.
ton of the fertile (s) Prairie across the
river. We are comparatively strange,
here, bat older citizens inform us that q
