Whfat from ~AiteAtW On Saturday last
our buyers bought several loads ofawheat
brought to this market from Mitchell Co., some
eighty miles northwest Of this place. Nc
Gregor has heretofore received the trade Of
these northern counties entirely; but Cedar
Falls will now step. in and take good share
of it. The counties Of Mitchell, Chickasaw,
Floyd, Cerro Gordo, and number of others
are much more convenient to this market
than that Of Nc Gregor, consequently we
look for the trade of this rich and produc-
tive country to materially assist in building
up our city, and making it for all time the
emporium Of the Cedar Valley.
Sudden Death.-A. PIcKREING, who lived
a short distance southeast of the depot, died
very suddenly last Tuesday morning He
started for his work in the morning, in COM
pany with another man, and while on the
road complained of feeling faint, and feeling
pain in the region of the heart He told the
man with him that he was subject to such
spells, and thought he would recover from
it in few moments; but he continued to
grow worse, and in few moments sank to
the ground, and died Immediately. Disease
of the heart was the cause Mr.. p. was
about forty-sevea yeus of age, and leaves n
wife and child. He was sober and indus
trious man, and much respected by those
acquainted with him.
