For the Nor.h Iowa Times,
The Mississippi.

Inc NAlSSASsAppls
How beautiful the Mississippi looks, as the
gentle breeze rufflcs its surface. The rip
Piles catch the rays of the sun, which give
it the appearance of vast mirror, whose
surface is tipped with silver; presenting a
striking picture of beauty and grandeur, as it
rolls majestically on its course towards the
ocean. The waves dance & sparkle and seem
to laugh at you as you gaze on them. The
islands that dot its surface give it a look of
picturesque beauty, which de6es even the
artists skill, as he strives to trace the variety
of its scenes. The islands with their YER
dant covering, variegated by flowers of a
rare hue, form a grateful contrast with the
dark, blue waters that surround them
This contrast is very beautiful. It lis vast
panorama, which presents an ever changing
and beautiful scenery. Every wave, every
motion of those waters presents something
new and pleasing. 1t bears on its bosom
the noble steamer, freighted with an invalu-
able cargo of human lives. In the winter
it is covered with ice, from which great en-
joyment is derived by pleasure seekers
View its varigatcd scenes by moonlight, and
the effect is very pleasing; it sends thrill
of mingled admiration and awe. 1t affords
to the lover of nature, a continued variety
of scenes. 1t is beautiful in winter! its
banks glistening with the frost that covers

ing sun, like dew on the grass in the pleas
ant summer! 1t seems to smile from out
its blue depths! The willows hang grace
fully over its banks; forming small alcoves
that WOO the traveller to their shades. The
ducks fly low, just skimming the surface
with their wings; and the fish play hide-and-
seek in the waters; or jump nimbly above
the surface to secure the unfortunate fly or
gnat that happens to be within their reach.
The Eight canoe' of the Red-man no longer
is seen here; but, instead, the pretty skiff
skins DER its surface like bird: the oars
just dipping in the waters as it glides on

Weather, Markets. sc,

The weather for the past week has been
the most scasenable possible. The gardens
are planted and growing, the grain is in the
ground and everybody seems for once to be
entirely satisfied with the prince of the

nearly filled with water and much inconvc-

here, because we can climb bluff four hun

terrible to imagine the destruction of life

An Arrest.
Several months since, Mr.. John Patter-
son, of Wagner township, in this county,
was robbed of $500 in gold. Suspicious
led to the watching Of Henry Carr, of Har-
din, or Elkader, who had worked for Patter-
son occasionally on his farm. Carr visited
McGregor, recently, and bought suit of
Clothes, for which he paid the gold, and it
was seen that he had ''more Of the same
Sort" To be brief-on Sunday night last,
Carr was arrested at the house of his broth
er-in-law, in this place-an officer was dis
patched to Postville, to the house of his in
tended father-in-law, Mr.. Reed, and the
old gentleman handed the officer bag con-
tanning $17O, which he said Carr had placed
in his hands for safe keeping. On the re-
turn Of the officer with the bag and the
money, Carr owned up and was committed
to Jail to await his trial. Heis young man
and had heretofore borne fair character.
His intended wife had only a few days be-
fore, provided her marriage dresses, and the
wedding was to come off the day following
the one on which he was arrested-the fam
lily were making preparations for the feast,
when officer Van Valkenburgh called for
the money which Carr had deposited. Mr..
Reed, like man of good sense, as he is,
was rejoic ID that his innocent daughter
had escaped the disgrace which this mar
rage would have inflicted unon hss and -tha
family, and proffered every assistance in
bringing the rogue to justice. We saw the
heart-broken girl at McGregor, on Monday !;
she came down on subpoena, as witness
against her lover, but his confession prior to
her arrival, spared her the pain Of giving
evidence against him. Her escape has been
fortunate, but we could see that her tire
woman's heart deemed him almost pardon
able, however the condemnation of all the
world beside. ,. .

The LYNcHING.-The case to which We

rage" has been disposed Of Several Of the
parties were arrested for assault and after
a skilfully conducted prosecution by Messrs.
REMIcK Hunt and an able defence by
Mcssrs. ODELL, BAUen and SToNEMAN, one
was discharged and the remainder were fin
ed about 80 dollars each and costs; four Of
them preferred the Jail to the payment of the
fines. Afterwards damage suit was COM
menced by the victim of this rash proceed
ing, but upon talking the matter over a
compromise was effected and the case was
dismissed. Most all the persons engaged
in this unfortunate affair are Germans and
it is universal belief that they were misled.
