a secession article, which we think would not
discredit the Charleston Mercury, in its war
like and uncompromisng style. But serious
ly, we would like to enquire, If there is no
probability of the railroad being able to make
regular trips until the snow shall have vast
cd itself away. Cannot some arrangements
be made by which we can receive and send
our mail matter with some regularity! 1t
can be done if the contractors will do their
duty. The D. & S. c. r. r. have con-
tract for carrying daily mail between Du-
buque and this place; and while an occasion
al omission to perform the contract might be
tolerated, we do not think that we should be
compelled to put up with the inconveniencies
and losses that have resulted from the irregular
manner in which our mails have been trans
ported for the last three weeks. If tits found
impracticable to forward the mail by rail, and
it is evident that the difficulty cannot be over
come for several days, at least, it seems to us
that it should be the duty of the Company
to send forward the mail by horses. BY hav-
ing relays stationed along the route the mail
could be sent through without difficulty
The Company no doubt receive good pay for
the service, and as the expense of sending it
through by stage would be small, we think it
is their duty to do it. East Of Manchester
the snow is so light as not to obstruct the
track, and by having relays Of teams station
ed along the route from that place, the mail
could be sent through in one day. If the rail-
road still continues impossible, We think that
our citizens should attend to this matter, and
see that the contractors perform their duty, so
long as it is in their power Weare inform
ed that Mr.. McCHEsNv, the agent of the
Western Stage Company stands ready to
stock the route, and carry both mails and
passengers, provided the railroad company
will pay reasonable sum for the service
If we, of Cedar Falls were the only parties
interested, it would not be so bad; but there
are one hundred and thirty different offices
situated north and west of this place that re-
ccive their mail matter through this office,
and they of course. arc all laboring under the
same difficulties that we are here. There
fore, we say that under the circumstances,
and considering that the matter is perfectly
feasible, it is the duty Of the railroad compa-
ny to take such measures as shall secure us
our mail matter with at least some regularity.
We have had no Eastern mail since last
Saturday, and the latest Dubuque daily that
We have, bears the date of Wednesday, Jan.

Our First Sleigh Ride.-We can remem-
Der perfectly well the first sleigh-ride, on our
own hook, we ever had.
1t was in the winter of 18-, when we
were some 10 or - years old-about the age
when boys generally think they are about as
manly as they ever will be-that we borrow
ed (of course) very fine horse of friend.
Fine horse, we say, that IS we thought so;
but the fact is, that the animal was not quite
sound, as we afterwards learned. A SPAWN
on each of his hind legs, made him a little
lame; then he was blind in the right eye,
and very near-sighted in the left; then,
again, he was little knee-sprung, which, to-
gether with the score and a half of years that
rested heavily upon him, made his naviga-
ton rather slow and somewhat uncertain
But in those young years of ours we looked
upon him as q noble animal!
Next We borrowed (againj thingabob to
hitch noble steed to, which, as we look back
upon it now, resembled dry goods box, with
pair of thills attached to it. We had con-
siderable difficulty about obtaining this latter,
for it belonged to the good Baptist clergyman,
and he was somewhat particular, and, withal,
somewhat fearful that his cutter might not be
returned to him in as good condition as he
loaned it. But we labored with the good
man, making all sorts of promises, and finally
prevailed
The next thing to be looked after was the
company. So we walked around to the
dwellings Of couple of our most favorite
lassles, and after much mental agony, mingled
with stammers and bushes, we secured the
promise from the two little beauties to take a
sleigh-ride with us in the afternoon!
o how our heart pit-a-pated against our
jacket as we ate our dinner that day and
how excited we became in getting the har-
ness on the noble steed! But in the course
Of time all the preliminaries were accomplish
ed and with very proud and dignified air,
we drove around for the ladies. We found
them in readiness, and soon we, happy trio,
were on our way for where friends
house, half mile distant.
We confess that we did not play the agree
able very well; but we excused ourselves BY
saying that it took all our time and attention
to manage noble steed
The trip thitherward was made very sue
cessfully and satisfactorily,-with the cxccp-
ton Of our having to get out once and push
behind, while noble stccd was climbing
