Sabbath-Breakers.
Greedy, of the Tribune, lectured in Pra-
RE du Chen, on Saturday week. On ,Sun-
day, Richardson, of the McGregor Times,
visited the "philosopher'' at his Hotel, and
found him 'busy IN his room, writing up his
correspondence" Shame on you, Horace ;

The Aduertiser, in noticing the probabil-

sufficient to satisfy the most skeptieal and incredu

GROUND HoG.-The I'd of Feb'y is called
Ground Hog Day." by Pennsylvania Ger
mans, and its character is supposed to settle
the weather aspects till spring. If the
ground hog sees his shadow on that day, he
goes back to his burrow and sleeps six
weeks; if he can't see his shadow he re-
mains out all day, and anticipates mild
weather. We have no faith in the pres
cience of dumb animals, and but little in
those who are not dumb but this " sign ~
is probably derived from the observation
that pretty weather in mid-wnter is apt to
be followed by storms and cold afterwards,
and pice rersa. On Thursday February
2d) it was clear, and the wise animal afore-
said saw his shadow without doubt; we
may therefore expect six weeks of bad or
cold weather! The subject is referred to
the Committee on Corn-Husks and Musk
Rats. NJ

Divorces.
Things 20 on in the world by fits and
starts-or more philosophically, by revo-
lutions. Now something circles around the
social center-next week something else
To-day it is suicide, tomorrow crinOline,
next month elopement, and so on, adj libituna.
The present mania in Dubuque seems to be
for divorce--we have Keas VS. Keas, Allen
VS.. Allen, Kcesucker VS.. Kcesucker, and
still later, case that came yesterday before
Squire Maggie.
A very pretty German woman made her
appearance and stated in the most melliflu-
Gus of Deutsch that she wanted a divorce.
By course of strict examination in that
language (which his Honor speaks like a
native), it was elected that some two years
since she had married her present husband,
knowing at the time that he had wife and
two children living in Germany. She mar
ried because she loved him, as she said, but
now-and the fair frau confessed it with
her finger in the corner of her mouth and
unspeakable modesty weighing down her
eyelids-she knew another whom she loved
better, and she wanted to marry him, but
first wished divorce from her present en-
cumbrance This beautiful and touching
outbreak of feminine righteousness so far
won upon the susceptible heart of the
Squire, that he promised. her in faltering
voice that he would-think about it--with
which comforting assurance, she hopefully
departed. Success follow her honest en-
deayors to secure kinder affinity Du6u-

Mobiles Last Shot.
Cot. Richardson:-A few words in reply
to the last letter of DR.. Andres, and have
done with him. My principal object in
commencing the discussion was to subserve
public purpose-to prevent, if | could, in
justice being done to community by the
folly of one of its members, and | indulge
the hope that the discussion has contributed
something towards the accomplishment of
that object.
The Doctors resort to the old fable of the
lion and the skunk, is one of the richest
jokes of the season, and it will excite a
hearty laugh from all his old neghbors who
know him well. BY the use of the fable,
he, of course, intends his readers to under
stand that he possesses the characteristics of
the king Of beasts, and herein exhibits, in
funny contrast, the qualities claimed and
those really possessed. The lion is distin-
guished chiefly by his power and courage !;
the Doc. is celebrated for the absence of
those qualities. The lion, it is said, fears
not the face of any animal The Doc. can.
not face even the most dimnutive of the
canine species; but in countless instances
has been known to stand, pale and quaking
with fear, when such an animal, which
could not possibly reach the top of his
boots, would show his teeth, and in that Ito
him) perilous situation would remain until
some generous little boy or girl came to his
rescue. The lions roar is loud and terrific;
the Docs roar is like his thunder through
out this discussion and his influence at Gar
navillo, exceedingly feeble. The Doc. quotes
fables prefer to state familiar facts.

Des M Oincs.
We are indebted to Hammer and to Mer-
rill for copies of the Registry bill-had no
time to examine it yet. Mr. Aldrich, chief
Clerk of the House, favors us with the list
ofmembers of the House, their ages, weight,
&C., &C. Our representatives acreage 212t
pounds, being the heaviest pair from any
county in the State!
We can't tell what bills have passed, but
there arc a good many important ones lying
around the Capitol loose. We judge that a
bill has passed, authorizing McGregor to add
land to her corporate limits. The reduction
Of tax penalties from % to 10 per cent has
not become a law, and it will not. A mo-
ton was made to exempt Printing Office
from execution. Senator Angle sneeringly
proposed to exempt 'Flouring Mills" this
brought up Drummond, of Bremen, who told
the Senator that all other mechanics were
allowed to retain their tools, and that Prin-
tiers were not paupers. Angle is decidedly
,o0rny.
Hammer thought the State had better
borrow money than to Cypress its citizens
with heavy tax penalties.

pacific nature between France and England.
The French Legislative body will convene
on the Esd. The Italian question is still the
popular theme, audit solution is the trouble
Of the leading European governments. The
Pope and the Emperor are still unreconciled.
In the paragraph below, the reference of
Napoleon to Henry XIII. is pretty rough,
that monarch having failed ito mind the
Pope when his plans were opposed by The
Holy Father. The Liverpool Post contains
the following:
We are in condition to affirm that the fol-
lowing statement is true: The Emperor of
the French has written second letter to
the Pope. 1t was brief but emphatic. His
Majesty is willing and anxious to remain, as
hitherto, the eldest son of the Church, and
continue deferential to the Holy Father in all
spiritual, but if his policy opposes the late
propositions, lethim remember Henry XIII.
The Pope having called for the withdrawal
of the French troops from Rome, the EN-
peror, in the same letter, says they shall be
withdrawn if his holiness persist, but that
the Emperor will cause a months notice to
DC given oall strangers resident in the royal

The Railroad.

Throughout the country west of this
point, good deal of interest is being taken
in the subject that is well stated in the
short article below, which we clip from the
Bradford Ne,cs Meetings have been held
at Auburn, West Union, Bradford, st.
Charles City, and at other points in pros
pectve railroad connection with McGregor,
and the Legislature is being pctitioned to
give to the McGregor line the lands here re-
ferred to as having been forfeited to the
State. These meetings arc all correct, and
we expect they will result in securing por-
ton, at least, of this splendid grant to our
line of Road. The country west of this to
the Cedar, or near it, cannot dispense with
a Railway much longer if farming is to be
followed for profit, and the sooner our Fay
cite, Floyd, Chickasaw, Winncshiek and
Howard county friends go to work, and the
harder they labor in the cause, the better
for them. We have been scolded by West
ern contemporaries for telling them the truth
about the individual interests of McGregor,
and the wishes of her citizens, but this truth
has awakened them to the importance Of
putting their own shoulders to the wheel,
and we now see they are at it.
From the Bradford News.
THE RAILRoAD.-The call for Railroad
meeting, in this weeks paper, should be
read and needed by every one interested in
the building of the Road west from Nc
Grcgor. Although the times are unfavora-
bic for Railroad building, yet much can be
done at the present time to lay the basis for
an early completion Of this road. The gov
ernlnent of the United States granted to the
State of Iowa a large quantity of the public
lands situated within the State, to be APP
piled in constructing railroad through said
State, from the Mississippi to the Missouri
River, on, or as near as practicable to the
42d parallel of north latitude The Legis-
lature of the State conferred said land grant
upon the Iowa Central Air Line Railroad
| Company on condition that said company
! should complete 70 miles of said road on or
before the first day of December, 1862
| But instead of proceeding to build the road
according to the provisions of the grant, the
| Air Line Company transferred all their right,
title and interest, to the Dubuque, Marion
& Western Railroad Company, to be used
and appropriated in constructing and equip
| ping a road for that Company. The condi-
tons of the grant have not been compiled
with and therefore the lands are forfeited
| The Central Air Line Company having gone
up, the friends of the McGregor Railroad
ask that the lands may be transferred to
| this company. This demand is founded in
justice, and we hope will be acceded to. 1t
is known to all that in the bill for the grant
to the State the McGregor Road was incor-
porated, but was traded out by those pre-
tending to represent the interests Of North
ern Iowa. We think that united effort
along the line of the McGregor Road will
secure to that Road these lands, and secure
an early completion.

PokER.-The Lacrosse Republican tells
of two ladies Of that city undertaking
many years ago to raise some money to buy
Bibles with. They went into the principal
tavern of the village, an old log affair still
standing, and found several raftmen play
ing ''poker." The ladies told their wants
and one of the red shirts said "hold on
gals till the game is out" The speaker
raked and handing the pile to the ladies
said "there, take that pot, there is four dol
lars and six bits, but mind your eyes, old
gals, don't you never try "to wiring in" and
break up a game?''
