An Opening for Capital--There are sew
eral branches of industry that might be pros
ecuted at this point by persons having a
sufficiency of capital to lay the foundation Of
. permanent and extensive business, with
great benefit to the operators. Among the
most prominent of these are the following:
An establishment for the mandatory of all
kinds Of Farm Implements; a Wooden Facto-
~, and Paper Mill. In either of the above
branches we think that our place offers in
ducements that cannot be equaled by any
other point in the West Situated as We are,
in the heart Of as rich country as lies out
doors, which is being rapidly settled and i'm
proved, these things are demanded, and must
be had, and they are the lucky men who are
first here to relieve our pressing necessities.
The railroad, now at our doors, renders our
position easy Of access and egress, therefore
doing away with excessively high freights,
the great drawback to manufacturers in in
land towns. The railroad, now in construc-
ton, running up the Valley northward from
this place, and forming junction here with
the D. & S. G. R. R. must necessarily make
this the distributing point for vast tract Of
rich and populous country. This fact alone
should be argument enough to convince any
man of the truth of the above. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that the water power at this
place has no superior in the State, and it can
be had on reasonable terms by any parties
wishing to make permanent and valuable i'm
provements. We know that it is often the
case that papers in endeavoring to forward
the interests of their respective localities,
transcend the bounds of truth amazingly,
and in their zeal make statements not war;
ranted by their location. But in saying what
we have about the business prospects, re-
sources, etc. of Cedar Falls, we think we have
never stated single thing that our natural
advantages and position did not justify us in
giving publicity. 1t has been the universal
remark Of strangers who have visited our
town, that no place in Iowa has brighter fu-
ture prospects than our own, and that we
possess, every advantage requisite to the
building up of large fourishing business

Z CAristmas Festiral.-The Festival of last
Tuesday evening can be briefly summed up
thus: "A great success" A very fine day
and splendid sleighing offered strong induce
ments to our country friends to attend, and
accordingly they aocked in in large num-
bers. The number present was about 500,
and everything passed off well. The Lecture
was fine, the Musical entertainment was ex.
cellent, the Earthquake was,-well, lit was
somc;" the supper was good, and plenty
Of it. The Hop" was largely attended,
and judging from the large number that par
ticipated, and the late hour to which the fes.
tivities were protracted, was well enjoyed
The only drawback to this feature Of the
: Festival was the jam. About 12O numbers
were sold, and two hundred persons on the
door at time, and all wishing to dance,
necessarily created : little confusion, and in
convenience. The Society realized 41s5
from the iodasion. which was benefit wor-
thy Of the institution. None need fear but
that the money win be well applied. Much
credit Is due the several committees for the
zeal and promptness with which they dis
charged their duties, and to their indefat-
guable labors, the complete success of the
affair msy Is sstributed. s8

ADMINISTRATION OF THE Law AGAINST
CARRYING CONCEALED WEAPoNs.-Those
who have noticed the police reports, have
observed that when a person is arrested,
against whom no charge Is established, 1t is
customary to fall back on the charge of car
rying concealed weapons, if one can be
found on the person arrested. An instance
of the way the law is administered, occurred
last Monday. On Saturday night, private
watchman, employed at Mudge's factory, on
Columbia-street, observed suspicious move
ments in person in that vicinity, which
caused him to watch him. The person
bought powder and caps, and after consid-
cradle apparent preparation, started out with
a carpet-bag in his hand. Seeing that the
watchman was following him, be ran behind
pile of lumber and hid. The watchman
called the regular police and arrested
the man and delivered him into their
opened, but it was done, and two loaded
pistols, q dirk-knife, and a "billy" were
| found In il. In q town where not less thar
one burglary is committed every night, thil
outfit and preparation and time and mannei
| looked suggestive. The man was brough
before the Police Court, Monday morning
and discharged because no charge wa
made against him. On the same morning
one or two persons, who had been ARRESTED
on some other suspicion, which could not b
substantiated, were fined and sent up, on tn
charge of the watchman, for having pistol
on their person. The question occurs, wa
the man with the carpet-bag full Of weapon

On the other hand, an Irishwoman an
man who got into squabble on her ow
premises, last Thursday night, in which th
man got the worst of II, were, with anothe
man who was in company, fined $50 an

= LARCENY OF A Box OF WNE.-A fellow

very quiet way to enjoy 1t, when a police
man came up, and carried him TO the Ham,
mond-street Station-house, where he was
confined to await an examination, which
will probably take place this morning before
Judge Lowe.
