The Railroad.
EE We have had but two trains from
the East since the 18th Of January, and
none since the esd, more than month
since. Our people begin to feel like a
youngster who has been compelled to doff
his first jacket and trousers and again
put on his frock and petlicoat. Instead
of steam carriage and FIVE hours to Du.
buque. We have got back 10 horse teams
and two days to the Mississippi. Instead
Of daily mails and expresses. we have
gone back to tri-weekly and weekly
posts. Instead Of the shril whistle and
laundering rumble of the locomotive. we
hear the crack Of the ox-whip, and the
scraping Of the ox-sled. Verify, our
spurs are of, our tailfeathers out, and
strutting has become an absurdity.-
We're in short clothes again, aud are
not bit bigger than such little fellows
as Des Moines, Council Bluffs. Waterloo
and Cedar Falls. It's little too bad |.
after accounting yourself a big boy. to
go back and play the infant. But per-
haps well grow. Wait and see.

We call attention to the new advertise
ment Of Mr.. w. B. Sloan. in this mum
Der. Mr.. Sloan's medicines have had
great sale. Our foreman has repeatedly
tried his Ointment. and thinks It unriy-
allied. but says that Beech's Medicines.
or Sloan's Renovating Powder. to purify
the blood, should be used with it. We
have never had occasion to use any of
these medicines. and only know Mr..
Sloan as an honorable business man, who
advertises literally, pays promptly. and
keeps his promises Wis. Free Dem.

Saturday was one of the most disa.
greeable days we have ever seen. The
wind blew with immense force, taking
the snow from the ground. and whlrling
it about in the air in clouds so dense that
it was impossible to see more than a rod
or two. 1t was almost impossible for man
or beast to face it, and almost every one
kept in doors, leaving our town as quiet
as it generally is on Sundays. Certain
ly the present winter stands out boldly
as one Of the severest ever experienced
in the country.

Correction.


re- Some weeks since we reflected
somewhat upon Mr.. PArrEE, Of the Bre-
mer County Argus. for what we had the
right to consider petty act of meanness
We are glad to have it to say that Mr.
PATTEE has satisfied us that the difficulty
was beyond his control, and that he is
not at all amenable to our criticism. We
freely make the correction.

EE Workmen were engaged last Sun
day in cutting the ice away from the
bents of this structure, an operation
which, If performed in time, would have
saved all difficulties. In its present con-
dition trains will not be able to cross on
the bridge, and it is probable that this
place will be the western terminus Of the
road for some time, at least for freight.

Apology.
EE The snow having effectually cut
off all communication with the east, so
that we could neither get news or paper,
We were compelled to forego the publica-
ton Of our paper last week. This is the
first time, we believe, since we came to
Independence, that we failed to issue,
and we think that our subscribers will
readily excuse us.

Ladies Boots.

Now that it is probable that we are
shortly to have wet. muddy weather, it
will not be uninteresting to our lady
readers to hear that WILEY is making a
style Of Ladies Boot, just calculated for
such season. They have thick sole,
and top that reaches considerably above
the ANGLE. They are called . Balmorals, +"
and are very popular east. as they deserve
to be. They cannot fail to keep Me feet
warm and dry. and so conduce greatly
to health. Every lady should have a
pair.
