Horticultural and Literary Society.-In
times likes these local institutions suffer sad
ly. ,5 s.,a ,s.-. rr
By dint of energetic labor, ard untiring
perseverance, the Cedar Valley Horticultural
and Literary Society was established on the
18th of February, 1859, and since that time
has been sustained. At times general in
terest has been manifested in its welfare; at
others it has been left almost exclusively to
the guardianship of a few, and on their broad
shoulders the load rested, and by them was
borne heavily along Such institutions will
not care for themselves, and if they live they
must be nursed.
The question to be decided, and that speed
lily, is very simple: Will it pay to maintain
this Society? Let the people count the cost,
and decide the question in their own minds.
We say Twill it pay?" for if it does not re-
turn the expense, in some manner, then we
cannot expect Of people SO thoroughly
American as this, to support it in Peace or
in War; "Will it pay ?" then, is the ques-
ton by which the verdict is to be given.
The object Of the Society is simply to i'm
prove and facilitate the Horticultural and
Literary taste Of this community and Of the
Valley. A laudable one, certainly and it
would seem as il there could be no doubt
about its popularity. It is popular not q
person but sincerely wishes II abundant enc.
cess in its undertaking; but the trouble is
that the opinion is too prevalent that !. It
will live without my personal attention Pr
Now nearly an entire community feeling in
this way, there is no other alternative for the
institution but to succumb, or for its origina.
tors but to console themselves with the poor
consolation that the good seed was cas-.
among stones. We have better apprccia-

Cedar Falls & Ninnesota Railroad.-We
ilasc received some letters Of inquiry in rela.
ton TO this rcsd. We can only say in reply
to these, that work on the road has stopped
on account, We understand, Of the siringency
of the times, and the consequent failure of
the contractors to negotiate the bonds. The
contractors have received an extension OF
time on their work. There is no prospect Of
further progression A1sthe present, --proba-
bly, work willn be resumed till the existing
civil strife is brought to close. Some seem
inclined to think that the building Of this
road is very uncertain, that it was bubble
and is broken. We think this an unrcason-
able view it could hardly be expected Of any
class Of men to progress in such work as
this insuch stringent times. We have the
utmost confidence in the building of this
road, and that as soQn as practicable.

What could be reared up in this commu.
nifty more adapted to the wants or suited to
the taste than this same Horticultural and
Literary Society? Its expenses are very tri-
fling, and the instruction and amusement it
affords very great.
The Society pay for their Hall fifty dollars
per annum which with the expense Of lights,
fuel, and some incidentals, make up the sum
Of cash outlay.
The Society has library of about five
hundred volumes, composing standard histo-
ries, biographies, travels, essays, novelties,
ETC., etc. The librarian has on his book one
hundred names of individuals who draw from
its shelves from week to week, more or less.
In the winter season the Society has furnished
regular course of eighteen or twenty lee
lures. In the summer season floral and veg
etable exhibitions have been regularly held
once in two weeks, though the interest has
the past summer.
Now you have the debit and credit of the
institution. Strike your balance sheet and
hand in your verdict.
We know that the storm beats heavy upon
US now, and that not closely interviewer with
its strife finds poor favor and poorer friends.
But it was great undertaking TO place this
Society upon the foundation it now occupies,
and if we allow it to be swept by the board
now, who and what will replace it when
peace is restored? Think of this, citizens !;
it is worthy of your attention. We want a
course of lectures this winter--on political
subjects ifyou choose; we want to pay the
rent for another year; we want to add to the
library if possible; VIC want to progress
Here are our wants. s.
Now will you come to the meeting, call
for which appears elsewhere in this paper.
Let us at least not 60 backward in this enter
prise.

A FACT AsoCT SHOT GuNs.--In a French
Journal, called FRille de YoQf le Moud, an ex-
PLANTATION is given of a fact which has puzzled
sporting men, namely: why the left barrel OF
than the right? TIE explanation is this :
The sportsman on going out loads both bar
reis, and on seeing a bird rise, fires naturally
the right barrel; hereloads that barrel, and
when he again sees bird or hare he fires {
again, and so ne does perhaps twenty times
in succession. But ea.h firing gives a shock
TO the charge in the left hand barrel, and at
last the succession of shock separates the
wadding from the powder and shot; the con.
sequence is that a vacuum ensues between
theIn and when the second barrel is fired it
frequently bursts To prevent this danger,
the recommendation is made that whenever
the right hand barrel is loaded, the charge in
the left hand one should also be rammed
down,

Chaplains for this city ana similar pinces.
II we have Chaplains under pay, we would
need, at the least, twenty. NO one man can
discharge the duties at the numerous hospi-
tails. But rs this would impose an onero,Is
expense on the Government, the resident
pastors will perform the duties without pay
To require pay in addition TO what they get
from their Churches, would develop the
omor peca.sse more than the as1as patrioe.
From the sts le Of their replies 10 me-
should Judge that my oppoD ents are no ordi-
nary men, and ii they should not "resign''
on account OF low wages, the Govern ment
may yet find that fact ont eheerfulty adj
NIT, as they seem to intimate, that ga Chap
lain wi hout pay" gets quite ssFfnuch as be
Is worth, and that Chaplains Of first rate
ability ought to receive gaid pyD gu, for their

iievirg that the Army does not need very
great men for Chaplains. In my poor Judg
ment one colportear Of piety aud Industry is
worth q dozen firEt-class divines, who must
have, because they can procure elsewhere,
the highest salaries. The $50 per month will
