Il. e. Surrey-From the Waverly Re
publican we learn that the C. F. &M. r. r.
Co, have made survey on the east side Of
the Cedar River, between Waverly, and ST.
Charles City, Ella Horton and Bradford Mr..
TRACY, the engineer, reports that the route is
quite favorable. The line crosses the Cedar
three-fourthssof mile above waverly. This
will be likely to create quite lively competi-
tor between the residents on either side Of
the river.
A Tish.-A week ago last Saturday the
Waverly typos gave us call. In the last
Republican we find short sketch Of their
trip, the closing paragraph Of which we an

After tea we stepped over to see friends
PERKINS of the gazette Office, whom we
found in good order, and doing large
amount of business. If the people Of Cedar
Falls do not give them hearty support they
cannot appreciate good institution in their
midst. After having long chat with them,
We retired to rest. Started for Waverly at
4 o'clock, P. NJ, and arrived there, cold, but
in GOOD spirits, ~ all well pleased with the
trip" .....r....s...0....r ~.
1he Nails.-A week ago last Thursday
night we had an Eastern mail, and another last
Wednesday night. The latter mail left Du.
buque, by team, last Saturday, and conse.
quently was five days on the road. When II
started there were forty five hundred pounds
OF mail and express matter. The load tipped
eover five time on the trip, and the passengers
report the journey anything but pleasant
one Wednesday there was quite thaw,
melting the surface of the snow, and the
weather turning cold in the night of the same
day, freezing hard, will probably put stop
to the continual drifting of the snow, and
thus enable the railroad to dig out track
that will stay dug. Provided we get no
more snow we may soon look for the arrival
of the mails with their former regularity.
Orr XHls.-At OvERMAN & Co.'s Mills
last Wednesday there were exchanged for
wheat, over ten thousand pounds of Flour
Think what pile OF biscuit fire tons of flour
will make! The mild day brought people
from Bremen, Buchanan, Floyd, Butler and
Franklin Counties. None were detained
more than two hours. The one-h horse water
powers of our neighboring towns are in a
state of blockade, and Mr. Jack Frost still
holds them with his relentless grip. The
Cedar Falls Mills, however, defy him, and can
supply the staff of life to all the country with
dispatch, as they can turn out from five to
seven tons of flour every twenty four hours.
