NEW OREGON, IOWA, OCT. T. 1869. q
That Observation-Disclosures with appoint
ment of the fair sex Of New Oregon, the mascu-
line gents made due arrangements and yester-
day sauntered forth with pleasant company, fast
horses, and other fixtures "according' to make
examination Of that portion Of the southern
boundary Of Minnesota in the vicinity of Gran
ger, 'na ~. ."s'
@ Just over 'tother side of Jordan-{Iowa river.) s
Leaving our pleasant village with the hearty
cheers Of our fellow associates who necessarily
tarried at home, our speedy animals proudly
moved the giddy throng in the distance mid the
rafting sound Of the rough but substantial We
hicles, and the merry songs and laughter OF, the
better half re-echoed over the broad prairies as
did the warbling songsters of the forest groves,
plainly demonstrating the old adage, emusic
hath charms to sooth the savage heart" n
But the lapse of few short hours brought to
view orr journeys end, when the Misses arrang.
ed with skill, refreshments to suit the taste Of
the most fastidious; but here it becomes our du-
ty to state that nothing Of aristocratic nature
was conceivable of the company as human ma
ture was displayed on this particular occasion in
the most common and sensible manner. "

sweet notes Of the violin and "piannner," felt

But our space will not. permit US to give the
lengthy details of the young New Oregonians'
pleasure trip to Minnesota, and suffice it to say,
(clse we should worry the readers patience the
shadows of eve were already approaching us ere
we departed for our peaceful abodes in New Or
cgon. But time bringeth about all things, for
safely home when in each others embrace, both
masculine and feminine had grew strong in the
tics of friendship. Thus the evincing facts came
to vicw-"Mirth is the medicine Of life" and
with like emetics our merry company were heav-
lily dosed. A-hem.
Prairie Fires.-The prairies in this vicinity
have been visited by a very destructive fire. It
broke out about seven miles southwest of this
place and so rapid was its progress that almost
everything in its path was consumed. Mr.. Geo.
Morse lost all his grain in the stack, and his
stables. Mr.. James flanagan, had about forty
tons of hay destroyed and a wagon upon which
they were hauling hay, having barely time to
detach the team. VIM. Powell ESQ, had his
corn consumed in the field. These are all the
losses of which we have heard up to this time,
but from the violence of the wind we shall rot be
surprised to learn of other and heavy losses to
our farmers. "t.o5'p u af@. . .#a745I sf' r. fso

Iona Rough Notes.-We have received the
first number Of this new paper published at De-
Ncorah by Campbell & Felt, and edited by A. J.
Felt, Esq: This number speaks we'll for Mr..

dial and living support. To the Rough Notes

probability is that this colt has been stolen from
somewhere, by somebody. Who is the loser?
