JACKSON Co.-The Maquoketa Senti-
mel is rejoicing over the fact that the
iron is purchased for 40 miles Of the
Iowa Central Railroad and that it is
to be Immediately laid down on the
road.
WRIGHT Co.-Tho Hamilton Free
man states that corn, potatoes, and
buckwheat in Wright county look
fine and that there will be food enough,
and to spare, unless early frosts should
cut off the crops.
BLACKHAwK Co.-There will un-
doubleday be "a larger number of build
ings erected in Cedar Falls the pres
ent season than any other town west
of the Mississippi. The "hard times"
have fallen lightly upon our citizens,
compared with other places. We took
a stroll about town the other day, to
visit some of the new buildings under
erection, and, we must confess, that
better buildings are not to be found
west of the city of Dubuque. Most of
the buildings are of brick. AS soon
as money matters get little easier
we expect to see Cedar Falls improve
faster than any other town in the
State. She is already gaining the
reputation which she justly deserves,
of being the town of Blackhawk Coun-
ty. The population at present is near
ly 2000.-Baaner.
MADISON Co.-Sad accident. The
Winterset Madisonian states that
while Jacob bowers was hauling
wood to Winterset, in going up al
steep hill the horses banked and
turned the wagon over. Two little
boys, aged eleven and five years, SONS
of Israel Miller, who were riding on
top Of the load, fell with great force,
killing one of them almost instantly,
his head having struck on a rock the
other boy, the youngest, had a Shout
der, leg, and arm broken.
The Bank Commissioners will meet
at Iowa City on the 18th of Scptcm-
Der, to receive and decide upon appli-
cations for the establishment of
branches of the State Bank
VIM. Uinkle, who was convicted of
the murder of bis wife, was executed
on the 18th ult at Orleans, near the
line of Davis county in this State
The unfortunate man asserted his in
nocence to the last, and charged the
principal witness against him, Ed
Grinstead, with having sworn falsely |
There were some $4,000 persons pres
ent to witness the execution, some of
them having travelled seventy miles
to be present. Owing to some mis-.
management, the unfortunate man
was precipitated to the ground. The
rope was re-adiusted, and on the sec
ond attempt he was launched into
eternity There are strong reasons
! to believe that this is a case of judi
cial murder.
SUGAR CANE.-A considerable guam
tity of this new article is growing in
Clayton county aud it is reported to
be in fine condition. What effect this
severely cool August weather may
have had upon it we are not aware
After it is nearly or quite maturcd,
frost has a tendency to increase it's
saccharine qualities, but as the cane
has evidently made no calculations on
an August frost it may not be in con
diton to benefit by the untimely visit.

DEAR Suz-Thc Dyersyillc Mercury
gives Queen Vic an everlasting blow
up about the Stiffness of her Message !

not see the article--it would seriously
unfit her for the trials which shortly |

During the past week a considera-
Bile number of emigrants arrived in

| JOHNSON Co.-The Iowa City Repub-
lican issued an extra on the first, to

At 81 o'clock this A. NJ, the Jury
came into court, after being out "a
hours. After the clerk called the roll
Of the jurymen aud prisoners, the
court asked the jury if they had agreed
upon verdict, and being answered in
the affirmative he then inquired as to
their finding in the case of each Of the
prisoners, and the answer " Not Gull
ty" was returned to every question
We have no disposition to comment
upon this result, but will simply say
that it is an astonisiier" to many of
our citizens. These prisoners were
deemed the least guilty of those in
dicted, and had secured separate
trial on this ground. When the 9th
ers indicted for the same offence will
be tried, we are not advised
