MITCHELL.

This place is beautifully located on the Red
Cedar, and has about $50 inhabitants. The
Cedar here affords as good a water power as
there is in Northern Iowa. It is improved by
an excellent saw mill. lath and shingle machine,
and as good grist mill rs there is in the State.
There is a great plenty Of timber, on the
Cedar, in its vicinity.
More Prairie was broken within two miles of
Mitchell last season, than around any two viii
lages in The country. The past winter having
been favorable, most of this prairie is fenced or
ready to be fenced and all Of it will be sowed
or planted the coming spring.
Building material will be far more abundant
here than ever before. Our mills are well
stocked with logs, and a brick kiln will be
burned as early as the spring will permit.
Most Of The timber is on the ground and at the
mill, for the construction Of a bridge across the
Cedar here, as early as the season will permit.
Mitchell lies one and half miles nearer the
center of the county than Usage, the present
county seat Village property in Mitchell, and
lands around are held at low rates. The emi-
grafton to Mitchell the coming sfring and sea-
son, from the most reliable sources Of informa.
tion, will be large indeed.-Repub.ican.

The HAREM UNvEILED-A NJ Ida.
vian countess, frequent visitor in the
harems Of the late Redschid Pasha and
other digai,aries of Constantinople,
thus takes the romance cut of the po-
pular idea of those Mohammedan para
discs:
Women, fat, ill-made, dirty and
stupid-such is the personnel of all
harems. Add to this that the women
pass their days in jealousy Of each o,her,
disputing, abusing, and even fsticuff-
ing. and you will understand, that the
happiness of Messieurs the Turks,
which has for centuries inhamed the i'm
aginations of romancers and poets,
leaves much to be desired to make i,
perfect.
1.-The harem is hell where four or
five furies busy themselves in torturing
a poor devil whom they call master and
lord
"a well-kept harem, Of four women
enly, costs twenty five thousand dollars
a year, and that of tee Sultan, for 1856
cost hundred millions Of dollars
The young TuI ks, who have adopted
European ideas. regard tn haren as an
institution that has had its day."

GoLp IN IowA-GREAT ExcIrEMEN.
AMONG THE HAwK-EYEs.-Under this
head tho Burlington la. HuwE-Eye,
of the 10th, has the following:
Mr.. Eldridge, of Lucas county. writes
us:
Mr.. EDITOR Gold has been dis.
covered in Clark county this State
about eight miles north of Osceoh, on
the road leading to Winterset.
A few days since l had occasion to
visit the place and examine for myself,
and am satisfied there is no humbug
about it.
Some six weeks since Squire Hewct.
was prospecting for coal on his farm.
when he struck small vein of black
sand and quartz rock, which. upon ex-
animation. was found to contain gold, as
he supposed.
Several Californians have since visit
ed the place, and tested it, aud pro
nounce it pure gold.
Men are engaged in digging. and
average from two to FIVE dollars per day
of the precious metal.
Arrangements have been made to
open two other leads, which have since,
been discovered.
Great excitement prevails through
this section of the State in regard to it.

come, because she had heard that they
were to decide the license question.
"You," said she, "all know who I am.
You once knew me the mistress Of one
of the best estates in the borough. I
once had husband and FIVE sons and
woman never had kinder husband
mother never had FIVE better or more
affectionate sons. But where are they
now? Doctor. l ask where are they
now? In yonder burying-ground there
are six graves filled by that husband and
those FIVE sons, and oh they are all
drunkards' graves. Doctor, how came
they to be drunkards? You would
come and drink with them, and you
told them that temperate drinking would
do them good. And you too, sir, ad-
dressing the clergyman, would come and
drink with my husband and my sons
thought they might drink with safety,
because they saw you drink. Deacon,
you sold them rum which made them
drunkards. You have now got my farm
and all my property, and you got it all
by rum. And now," she said, II have
done my errand. Igo back to the poor
house. for that is my home. You, rev.
erend sir, you, doctor, and you. deacon,
l shall never meet again, until l meet
you at the bar of God. where you too
will meet my ruined and lost husband
and those five sons, who, through your
means and influence, fill the drunkards'
graves" The old woman sat down.
Perfect silence prevailed. until broken
by the President, who rose to put the
question to the meeling-shall We petit
ton the court to issue licenses to this
borough the ensuing year? and then one
unbroken "No (which made the
very walls re.echo with the sound,
told the result of the old woman's ap-
peal.

TRIPLE EXECUTION.

A correspondent writing from New
Kent, N. H., under date of March 10th,
says:
At an early hour this morning a vast
multitude assembled to witness the ex-
ecution of Major Morris. Henry and
Dick Brady. the murdere,s of Jas. G..
Grant. A few minutes past 10 o'clock
A. NJ, the Sheriff, John 8. Lacy, Esq,
with his deputy. Chas. A. Hewlett. Esq,
proceeded to the Jail for the purpose of
removing the chains from the prisoners,
and to shroud them in robes of black
cambria, when they were led out OF
their cell. Capt. Braxton Garlick, with
the troop, escorted them to the gal
lows.
On their arrival, the Rev. George B.
Simcoe, one of their spiritual advisers,
delivered a solemn and impressive SER
mon. At the conclusion Of this he
prayed very fervently. They were
then asked if they had anything to say.
Henry and Dick said that they were
prepared to meet their God. Major
Morris said he had fallen victim to
the gallcws through the persuasion and
advice of his friends; he admonished
those around him never to repose too
much confidence in friends.
The halters having been properly ad-'
justed to the beam and their necks when
they first assembled to the scaffold. the
fly was drawn from the drop, and at 12
NJ. they were launched into eternity
The night preceding their execution was
devoted to prayer and supplication.-
At intervals they sang the very melan-
choly hymn, commencing "Hark from
the tomb!' AS l gazed through the
iron CRATES of the prison window into
their cell, l could but feel sad at so
woeful a spectacle.
Thus the last act of this bloody drama
has been performed, and the curtain, l
trust, has fallen never to rise on SINH
lar tragedy in New Kent, or elsewhere.
This is the fourth execution which has
occurred in New Kent since the great
calamity that befell the country in
1887,

ASTRA1cHr-F FORWARD PRAYER. The
New York Sunday Dispatch relates the
following revival incident

"A SINAIOhT-C ONWARD L RAIER.-" ne
New York Sunday Dispatch relates the
following revival incident:
A curious incident occurred at one of
the prayer meetings down town last
week. An unctuous brother who, it
appears, is kind of out door clerk for
one of the lottery swindles, situated in
Il Broadway basement not far from the
Park. and who has been long noted as
one of the hardest kind of characters,
after chucking out in nasal spasms a
general confession of his sins, and ex-
ulting over his curious conversion, be-
sought the prayers Of the assembly in
his behalf.
His request was Immediately COM
piled with by younger brother, who
seemed we'll posted on the passed career
and present mode of the life Of the oily
convert.
This gentleman instantly set up a
fsrvid prayerin behalf of Brother l.
He implored for mercy for the corpu-
lent sinner. although, as he averred,
Brother LIS long life Of fraud
seemed beyond the reach of mercy that
was not infinite in it's nature" Broth
er l. rather WINGED at this literal
compliance with his own solicitation,
but quite regardless of this. the scathing
supplicator went on. "Thou knowest,
he proceeded, "that no sinful wretch
