Between five and six yesterday morning,
two passenger locomotives. going in opposite

ecrs saw each other IN time to esreverse,', and

great, as neither was encountered by the mo-
mentum Of train. But the force of the COL
lision ierked the throttle valve Of the upward
engine wide opsn.4 and before the engineer
could regain his footing, it leaped backward
with a ffightfnl bound, and disappeared, city

90 Cattle Breeders.

--"a ~ .
]. FL. w ,llace, Esq, Secretary of
the State Agricultural Society, pub
fishes an article in the Journal, "to the
cattle breeders of Iowa. which is to
long for our columes. The substance
ofthe document we give below, AS
condensed by the Davedport Gazette:
The Secretary has marked growing
disposition to embark in breeding short
horned cattle. While other failiss
are not neglected. the Durhams appear
to be the fayorites. Parties have
brought in graded animals AMI sold
to our breeders as thorough breeds
Farmers thus deceived, after spending
years in attempting to improve their
stock, pronounce the whole thing a
hunbug. The Secretary urges bree-
ders to procure what they or others
know to be pure stock. He says the
Durham breed sis foreign one, and
every pure animal must trace its pedi-
gree to imported ancestors on both .
sides of the house without any admix-
t,lre Of natives or other breeds" He
says tho American Herd Book, is rec
ognised as national authority on this
subject, but as it costs five dollars vol
ume, and is therefore not within the
reach ofthe public, he intends publish
ing in the next volume of Transactions,
the pedigree of AL the pure breed cattle
in the State, of whatever race they be,
and in the class of short horns, he win
insert no animal as pure blood unless
it's already in the American Herd
Book, or is entitled to be there. He
thinks this will be a great advantage
70 those who own pure stock, while
some who do not will be glad to be set
right, and others will con lemn his
course. He asks that pedigrees be
forwarded to him at once, and persons
owning stock promptly answer his
questions. He anticipates much labor
in procuring all the flcts, and is there
fore desirous of commencing the work
early. a'~ .'a-' H@5s .sza b.. ..tti.a

State Geological Report.

=
The Report Of the Geological Survey Of the
State Of Iowa, embracing theresnlts OF the in.
vestigations made 4dpring portions Of the years
1855, so and .57, made by James Hall, State
Genlogist, and }. D. Whitney, Chemist and
Mineralogist, which has been some time in
press, is now in the hands of the binder, and
in about six weeks will be ready for distribu-
tion. An advance copy lies before us. 1t
comprises what will constitute volume first, Of
the complete report. 1t Is ia two parts, See
ology, and ''Paeontoiogy, - which will be
bound separately, the whole making 724 pages,
aside from the index and plates. There are
two maps accompanying il, one, diagram Of
the lead bearing crevices near Debnque, and
the other geological map OF the eastern half
Of the State. The plates laside from the wood
engravihgs incorporated in the text] are partly
lithograph and partly steel. The book is we'll
brought out, and is credit to the State and
the American press. The slight sxaminatio
which we have been able to make of its con-
tents, induces us to believe that the matter is
worthy of the style. and that all that has been
anticipated from the eminent qualifications OF
he gentlemen who have prepared it, has been
tfuliy accomplished. The complete examine
tion of the State, and the publication of the
ascertained results, in the manner begun, will
prove at once a source OF pride and Of material
advantage, as well as contribute greatly to the
advancement Of learning and science.
The articles concerning the several couc.
ties, so far as examinations have been mede,
respectively conclude with remarks under the
head Of Economic Geology Gate City.
