srArr ITEMS.

The Congregational Church Of Du-
buauc is in trouble about their bell
A short time since it was attached,
but was subsequently raised into the
s,eeple. An effort was made to take
il down, which caused some excitement.
Churches should pay debts as much as
any other debtor.
The Herald mentions the fact that
DR.. Mcclure Of Dubuque, has in his
possession an article which he states
was found while blasting for bridge.
II was taken out OF solid rock, thirty
feet below the surface. 1t bears the
appearance Of once having been a
farrier's instrument, known as phleme
which is used for phlebotomizing
animals Of the equine sort. The edges
Of the blades are distinctly visible, the
handle, the riyet, and even the portru
berance on the blades used for opening
them. 1t is now all one mass, and so
hard that the best tempered file will
not make the slightest impression upon.
The Waterloo Register, of the 22d,
says that NJ. II. Moore, late banker of
that, place, has purchased the steam
saw mill of Messrs, Hosford & Miller,
and hereafter he will devote himself to
the business connected with that " in
stitution.'
Both shore piers Of the free bridge
across the river at Waterloo, and the
framework and general superstructure
Of the bridge are SO tar advanced as to
warrant the belief that in the course
Of few weeks, teams and passengers
will cross over.it.
MARSHAL MCMAHON IN Iowa.
The Police Marshal of Cedar kapids,
Iowa, is named Mcmahon. AT the
the last accounts he was slaughtering
all the unmuzzled CANNES of that flour
ishing young city. Gentleman may
cry peace, but there is no peace" so
far as Marshal McMahon is concerned.
"DoG FENNEL, the most abundant
production Of our streets and commons
is selling for SIS ton to German
association of tanners in Iowa, who use
it for tanning purposes. If it should
really be a good substitute for bark"
now grown SO scarce and costly, it will
be most valuable crop.-Indianapo-
lis Journal"
Judging from the doleful accounts
We are daily receiving from that State,
we should think that the Iowa towns
might produce sufficient quantities of
that delectable weed, without import
it from Indiana. A friend OF ours, just
returned from trip over there, thinks
Burlington and keokuk might supply
the world, and that the merchants Of
those cities wonld find the harvesting
of dog fennel, much better business
than setting at their store doors and
whiting dry goods boxes.-Chicago

The New York Journal of Commerce says
"There has been talk of protecting" Amer
lean guano property, and increasing the revenue
by duty of $40 per ton on Peruvian guano. At
present that quantity Of guano is held by the Peru
Wan government monopoly. II costs to be
laid down in New York an average of $40 and sells
for about $50. leaving very large profit for the
owners. There three principal islands owned
by Peru, only one of which is about FIVE eighths
depleted Of its guano. Last year We received 81,
036 tons from Peru; and this Mt the rate proposed
would bring $540,36O into the Treasury. II is
held by the projectors that as this guano is mo-
nopoly. the price of which is kept high as the
consumption will allow, that the tax will not in
crease the selling rate"
