ALxo~r DROWNED. - Two small boys,
(wiilie 5kiakic and g orge Mcssick, agsd from to
3 ycars,) while skating on the river at the ferry
landing this morning., ventarod on soms thin lex,
which gave way and let them through. The former
went conpleteiy under, but the latter clung to the
Ice and kept his head above the water. Several per-
sons about the the ferry boat to their relief
sosa ss they saw the accident. and Sullivan White,
ayoung man employed On the boat, promptly jumped
into the water and rescued the boys. It was fertu
nate that there was no current at the place whe!S
they broke through, else they might have been ear
rieJ un,ier the ice and no human power could havs
saved them. A. it was, little Willie was almost
drowned. He could hardly have survived q moment
longer in his pcrious situation. Mr.. Whitsdsserves
praise for his heroic act.-DSily, 10th.
Third STREET BRIpas.-Thc bridge over
Pappoose creek, ON Third street, should have = rail-
Ing On the sides, and the embankmsnts ct each end
should be filled up. Some weeks ago lady stepped
OF the bridge in the dark and narrowly escaped ee-
rious injury Last evening" just after dark, Mahals
Motifs wife Of 7. C. Motifs while crossing the bridge
fell down an enbsnkment next to it, and was badly
hurt. It 10 supposed her arm was broken. The
city legally responsible for all damages that may
result to persons while crossing this unprotected
bridge in the dark. We hope the council will 1t
once attend to this matter.-Daily, 10Th.
MINISTERIAL CMASaE.-We regret to learn
that Rev. J. d. Stewart, pastor Of the Frss Pres
byterisn Church, in consequence Of an affection OF
his throat, which neceestates him to con6ne himself
to the delivery Of but each Sabbath, has
decided to remove to Oxford, o., where he has been
solicited to take charge Of church requiring him
to preach but = week: Mr.. s. has endearcd
himself his dock here, and ID esteemed highly for
his talents by all who have heard him preach. All
regret the cause which compels him to sever bis re
lation to the church here.
We understand that Mr.. Belden, . promising
young minister ut present of Wheeling. Va, has
received call to succeed Mr.. Stewart, and will ar
rive here the first of next month, at which time the
latter contemplates removing.
TIE ClTY RAILROAD Srocx.-It may not,
perhaps, be generally known that the interest 49,,
SOY on the tonds issued by the City Of Muscatine
70 the NJ. + n. r. r. Co., due on the LIST of the
present month, has not been paid. 1t was withheld
BY order of the City Council, until the Railroad
Company should transfer the stock belonging to the
City into her possession, but which said company
holds in trust for the payment of the interest and
principal. The Mayor promptly notified the Sscre-
tary of the Company Of this decision BY the Council
but has - yet received no intimation whether the
demand is to be complied with or not. 1t is quite
probable, however, that it will be denied: In view
of the fact that it has recently been ascertainsd
that johnson county and Iowa City are not in pos
session of their stock in this Company, lit having
been generally understood that they had obtained
it, but only certificates Of stock, we may expect
our city authorities to withdraw their demand and
pay the interest without further delay. There is
no question concerning their right to the stock but
they will doubtless consider it inexpedent to nst
tute vexatious and expensive suit in order to OBJ
tain it. We have seen letter addressed "to those
having in charge the financial interests of Musea-
tine" from one of the bondholders residing at
Northampton, Macs. Hs is highly indignant that
his annual stipend has not been forthcoming on
count of the nen-payment Of the INTEREST," He Ia
bors under the impression that the high rates of
exchange have caused the delinquency and expresses
the opinion that every man, woman and child in
the city should shoulder bag Of wheat aud earryit
to New York in order to raise the "needfui." The
gentleman will probably be in better humor when
9that little amount" due him comes to hand.

high md low degree" which may be seen in day

more or less, might be slain without anybody sus-
tanning loss thereby.
