Short Hair-New Fashion.

1t is coming quite the rage among
young ladies to cut the hair off short
and wear it in a ~profusion of frizzled

coquetish. "Charming," is the al
most universal verdict, and a .furOr
is the consequence among boarding
school misses and those of our bellies
who like to produce a sensation on
the promenade as well as in the hearts
of their admirers. The fever has
been caught, especially in some of the
provincial towns and cities, and hun
dreds of fair and youthful beauties
have surrendered their glossy ringlets
to the reigning barber, the possession
of which would have produced I'M
speakable emotions in the hearts of
aspiring young gentlemen who iii the

Probably nothing but the dictates
of fashion could have induced the
fair owner to part with any portion
of their treasure of dark and golden
hair. But are they aware of the quar-

capricious goddess issued :? We
imagine not and they must there
fore be informed that the style they

is the "Lorette" fashion in Paris, ant

A correspondent of the Wavcrly
Republican recommends the farmers
in the Cedar Valley to turn their at
~tcntion more to sheep raising and
wool growing. We extract the fol,
lowing:
Is this Cedar Valley adapted to the
raising of sheep? We think it is.
Sheep need a dry healthy climate. 1t
is here. Timothy, clover, and other
grasses grow well here. Turnips,
carrots and all other roots a be
grown here with profit. If this be
true, all we want is, for a goodly num-
Der to commence the business of get
ting into a flock of good mcrino, Lei
ccster and Southdown sheep, and in
stead Of sending abroad for cloth,
manufactures will be opening up all
along this beautiful Cedar River.
Wcmay add that il costs no more to
send a pound Of wool to market than
it does to send a pound of beef or
pork +: and while the one will bring
from thirty to fifty cents per pound,
the other will only bring from four
to six cents ; and who does not know
that the sheep will pick up their mon
ev at far less cost than the hogs and
cattle will?

DIR. j. Uostettcr's Celebrated Stomach Bit
tiers is one of the greatest strengthening pre-
parations extant. 1t is respectfully adapted
to those who are afflicted with the Fever and
Ague, OF any other disease arising from a dis
ordered condition of the digestive organs. For
the Fever and Aguc there is, perhaps, no med
icinc in the world equal to it, as it enters, pu-
rifles and replenishes the blood, which is 50
important to bring about a healthy action in
diseases of this nature. The Bitters are now
among the most popular, and, at the same
time, valuable specifics in the medicinal world.
In recommending it to the public, we are fully
conscious of doing them a great service, know
ing, as we do, their many excellent qualities,
and sure and speedy action in all cases where
the disease is caused by irregularity of the di-
gestive organs. a trial will be sufficient for
the most skeptical.

tate, John Hancock, a nephew Of the
celebrated Hancock, died on the sec,

possesses historic interest. The fine

Our Railroad Prospects.

As we are constantly inquired OF
bv friends from abroad concerning the
railroad prospects of this section OF
country, we deem it proper to State
that, at a meeting of the Directors
and Stockholders of the McGregor and
Missouri River Railroad Company,
held at West Union recently, that
Road was definitely located to this
place. The company have already
graded ten miles of this road, by far
| the most heavy and expensive part,
commencing on the bank of the Mis-
sissippi at McGregor, opposite the ter
minus of the Milwaukee and Missls-
sippi Road, and leading up through
the bluffs to the handsome table lands
west of there. 1t is expected that a
large number Of hands will be put
upon the work of grading this road
the coming season.
Besides the McGregor Road, there
is fair prospect Of the speedy con,
struction of a Road up and down the
Cedar Valley, connecting with st
Paul, on the North, and giving us an
outlet by way of Dubuque to Chicago.
or via Muscatinc to st. Louis. At a
special election lately held in Floyd
county $685. 600, bonds Of the the
county, were voted by a large MAORI
ty to aid in building this Valley road,
known as the Cedar Falls and Min
ncsota Railroad. This road is also tc
pass through St. Charles City, crossing
the McGregor Road at right angles
or nearly so. Mitchell county, tho
next north of Floyd, has voted it
bonds to this same Road for $4,000
and other counties are proposing t
pursue a similar course.
Both these Roads are receivin!
large subscriptions in money, lands
work, material, &c, and will procec'
cnergetically, with the work of gra
ding as soon as the season will pei
nit.
st. Charles City, the point wher
the junction of the two roads abov
named will be formed,m may be regardc
as a locality well worthy the attentio
=. of settlers and business men. Rea
estate can yet be bought here g
reasonable rates. The land here

Troubles in Kansas.

1t is very difficult, from the parti-
san and exaggerated character of the
accounts which reach us, to arrive at
the real facts of the difficulties now
prevailing in Southern Kansas. The
New York papers of the sth contain
what we presume are authentic and
reliable statements.
During Gov. Denver's administra-
ton, a treaty was entered into be-
tween the free state and pro-slavery
men, who agreed that they would
thereafter dwell in harmony ; that by
cones should be gy-goncs, and that
no arrests or prosecutions should
take place for oflenscs committed pre-
viously to that time. Recently, the
pro-slavcry men inveiglcd a young
man named Benjamin Rice, into their
power, and, after getting him, served
an indictment on him for a murder
claimed to have been committed in
their early troubles, imprisoned him
at Fort Scott, chained him down, and
rave him to understand that he
would escape alive. This crea-
ted much excitement, and excited and
angry discussions were held on both
sidcs-thc free state men declaring he
should be liberated, and the pro-sla.
very men declaring he should not

he set ut liberty. BY this time the

course, all this increased the difficulty
and excitement. The pr~o-slavcry mel
at once started to obtain the fedora.
troops, and enlist the government ait
generally. Old Brown in the mean
time organized q force, and made al
invasion into Missouri, taking prison
crs the leading pro-slavery men who
had been troubling them in Kansas
and turning loose their cattle anc
slaves. The whole southern countr,
is agitated-men cnlisting on on,
side or the other. The timid men o
both parties, are leaving that region
and going elsewhere.
What the end of it will be, canno
yet be conjcctured. If the govern
ment had a mind to act fairly in til
premises, and not exhibit it's strcngt
and sympathies so Enthusiastically wit
. the pro-slavery side, the difficult
could be speedily adjusted.
