Flag Presentatiox.-Last week VIC unin-
tentionally neglected to notice the Flag Pre-
sentation which occurred two weeks ago to-
morrow evening 1t the Horticultural Rooms.
The Flag was made entirely Of Silk, five feet
wide by eight long, and got up in q style
that reflects great credit on the good taste, as
well Is iberality, Of the ladies Of our place by
whom it was manufactured for our Brass
Band. Mrs. JOHN CAMERON presented the
Flag, with short, but very appropriate and
well delivered presentation speech, and it
was received on the part Of the Band by w.

Terrible Accidental young man named
REUBEN BAKER, met with terrible and well
nigh fatal accident on Friday the 2eth ult.,
at Healey's Steam Mill, about three miles
northwest Of this place. He attempted to
jump over driving belt while the machinery
was in full motion, and instead of clearing
the belt as he intended he came down astride
Of it, and was Immediately carried forward
into the gearing. One Of his legs was bro
ken in two places, and he received fearful
cash in the groin, about foot In length, and
SO deep that the wound spread open full five
inches. He likewise received many severe
bruises about the body. So inextricably was
he entangled in the machinery, that though
there was full head Of steam on at the time,
the mill was brought to stand STILL. When
taken out he was fearful looking sight, and
il was supposed that he could not live any
length Of time, but under the skillful care Of
Drs. PIERCE and MEREDlru, he is slowly re-

Halt Fare to Dubuque. Dubuque and
Sioux City Railroad are now selling tickets
at all Offices west of Dubuque, to Dubuque
and return at half fare. The arrangement
took effect yesterday, and will be continued
three or four weeks, and perhaps longer, il
it does not cause falling off in the receipts.
The tickets are good for three days, thus al.

selves Of this opportunity Of travelling cheap,
and visit Dubuque; and this measure cannot
fail Of being great benefit to that city. The
Company have employed Mr.. G. CnILDs as
an Agent to canvass the towns upon and near
the line Of the road for the purpose of intro
dacing the arrangement to the notice of the
people. Mr.. C. is collecting statistics of the
population, resources, products, etc. of the
country through which this road passes, and
the material thus collected will hereafter be
published. in descriptive pamphlets. For

Winter Course Of Lectures.-By request
we republish this week the list of Lectures
to be delivered before the Horticultural Socie-
ty the coming winter. Commencing this
evening. The List will be found complete
this week, the blanks which occurred in our
last being now filed up with their names and
subjects as they will appear. We are sure
no one will find fault with the admission fees,
which are annexed to the list.
The Society have placed it as low as they
dared to, and yet feel warranted that the pro-
ceeds would be sufficient to defray the neces
sary expenses. In adopting the tariff of
charges, they made careful estimate of the
amounts they would be obliged to pay speak
ers and for lights, wood, printing &c. And
then estimating the number that they can
reasonably expect will be in attendance each
night, they have placed the admission fee just
so as to clear the expenses. They do not
wish to make cent out of the course, more
than sufficient to reimburse them for the
amounts they will be obliged to expend.-
Our citizens owe this Society heavy debt Of
gratitude for the rich intellectual treats they
will enjoy during the coming months, and
shouldevincc their appreciation of the same by
a numerous attendance upon each and every
Lecture of the course. We hope to hear Of
their having sold large number of season
tickets in advance. A gentleman buying q
ticket for the course has the benefit of the
seventeen lectures at the triling outlay of six
cents = night, and should he take lady
(Which he is privileged to do under this ar.
rangement,) At the insignificant sum of three
cents each per lecture.
