Building There are Ia g. number OF
dwelling houses now in process of erection
in this place. Many Of then, are of very
desirable kind. We need them. A house
to rent is hard to find, though there is no
lack at applicants.
Robberies.-We see by the Waterloo Conr-
Ter that some rogues have recently been rob
bling houses at Waterloo. In one night, d.
w. BURRouGrIs lost $50, j. A. FREY 81 ,S5,
the pockets Of GARDINER were cleaned out.
and Judge CoUcn lost fifty cents and his
safe and warehouse keys.
Business Changes. MILLER has re-
tired from the old firm of II. & j. MILLER.
Mr. SHEPHERD WILSON takes his place. and
the new firm will be known as MILLER &
WILSON, We trust that the business Of
the new firm may be very successful-there-
by obtaining what is justly due to cnterpris-
ing and honorable men.
Sign Of the Big Boot.-A. TRowrRibGE has
just received large stock Of Boots and Shoes.
He wants to improve the understanding of
every man and woman in the Cedar Valley,
and he { els himself confident for the task.
Bnt:, fnr health and good appearance we'll
dressed foo, is indispensable. Tn S fact should
~ n,irace many to visit TRowBRIDGEs.
m for Fort RanaaN.-W edncsday morn
rag t!a balance of the recruits enlisted here
Tor Fort Randall left for Iowa City to join
those who went last week. This last lot
embraced some Of the best young men of the
place; some whose loss will be severely felt,
and the parting at the depot proved that the
friends they We're leaving were bound to them
by ties which it was painful to sever. ~.
From Company E.-We were shown a
letter received yesterday by one of our cti-
zens from Capt. j. b. SMITH, dated at Macon
City. He says that the new uniforms and
equipments Of the Third Regiment were at
the time of his writing on the way from St.
Louis. The paymaster was also there, en-
gagged in paying off the soldiers. Perhaps
some Of our readers have heard the runner
that was set afoat by some personal enemies
Of Lieut. SESSIONS, that at the battle Of Blue
Mills Landing he acted with cowardice. All
those who were acquainted with FIrz. treated
the statement with the contempt which it
deserved, and those, if any, who may have
been inclined to believe it, will dismiss the
idea from their minds, when we say that
Capt. SMITH in very strong terms contradicts
the rumor, and pays high compliments to
the bravery and gallantry Of Lieut. SESSIONS,
who seized musket and fought in the ranks
like the brave man he is. He escaped with
.out wound, though grazcd by several balls.
Telegraph Line to Cedar Fal,s.-We learn
from the Dubuque Times that the Dubuque
and Sioux City R. r. Company are taking
subscriptions for the construction of tele-
graph line to Cedar Falls. Messrs. Stimson,
Stout and several other gentlemen, have
made liberal subscriptions. Plat Smith, Esq.
the attorney Of the company, will visit the
towns on the line with subscription paper
next week. If the requisite means are raised,
the line is to be completed by the first of
January. Towns that want a telegraph sta
ton must do their part. The company give

or Independence at catalogue price for the
money advanced. A telegraph line will be
of great advantage to millers and wheat buy
ers as well as the people generally. Stations
that get telegraph Office will control the
best trade and attract better class Of set
tiers than those that have none. ....r
