The Street IScAool.-There appears to be
no institution in our midst which fourishes
as does the street school. 1t has thorough
organization, an abundant supply Of appara.
tus, Perfectly graded from the seven by nine
shanty above ground to the more spacious
department below; supplied with corp OF
teachers amply remuncrated, and we'll quail
fed to give instruction in every thing which
is low, filthy and grovcling. The principle
upon which this school is conducted is en-
tirely different from that of the common
school. In the common school the teacher
is required to give evidence of good moral
character, but in the street school there is no
such requirement made, and in fact an indi-
vidual is not considered proficient teacher
in this school unless he is destitute of every
moral principle, and can select for his srsso-
ciates the assassin, the biackleg, the horse
thief, the libcrtine and in fact the most
abandoned of the whole human family. As
regards the management of this institution
it differs from the common school in other
respects: No regular hours are observed,
but the rooms are kept open at all hours
both day and night, and more particularly at
night, to the great annoyance Of peaceable
citizens, for the exercises of the school room
are frequently boisterous and disgusting in
the extreme.
And frequently teacher or an advanced
student will sally forth upon the street to take
charge of the juvenile department, composed
of small boys, who are seen upon our streets
from early dawn until the small hours Of the
night. Headed by one of these saloon satel-
lites you will see, or at least hear Of them
destroying property, breaking in the windows
OF dwellings, tearing down gates and fences,
breaking open lecture rooms and injuring
and carrying of all the valuables which come
in their way; such is their first lessons in
the street school. And further, those who
enter this institution, and I now speak of
those who are far enough advanced to leave
the Juvenile department, undergo no ex.mi.
nation unless it is that Of the pocket, and
that Is conducted in the most private man.
1ner possible. The branches taught in this
school are idleness, (and e an " idle head ia
the devils workshop" you may look there
for tho devils work, prodigality, dishonesty,
profanity. vnlgarity, drunkenness, and in
'act all the crimes Of Pandemonium.

Washington's Birthday. The celebration
of Washington's Birthday on the evening Of
the 21st inst, promises to be altogether the
superior entertainment.of the season. The
committees are all working with will, and
declare that their portion in the programme
shall be carried out to the best Of their ability.
The admittance fee is only twenty-five cents,
children ten cents, and when we consider
the object of the entertainment it certainly
appears that success should crown the efforts
Of its originators. Every one in this COM
munity can afford to give twenty-five cents
to add to the library in connection with the
L. Society. We refer to the programme
in another column to prove that the enter
tainment is worthy Of your attendance.

n Rare Chance for Adoertisers a few
days we shall issue in pamphlet form the
premium list Of the Cedar Valley Agricultural
and Mechanical Association for the fair of
1862. By permission Of the Association we
shall devote several pages to advertisements.
The pamphlet will be neatly printed, stitched
and trimmed. The lists will be circulated
among the farmers Of Black Hawk, Bremen,
Butler, Grundy, Chickasaw, Franklin, Har-
din, Floyd and Fsyette Counties. OF course
they win be circulated to some extent thro'
other counties, but in those named will be
more generally circulated than in any others.
An these Counties look to this place as their
chief market, and the people among whom
these pamphlets win circulate are those to
whom our tradesmen especially wish to in
troducs themselves. These lists will all be
preserved, till after the fair atleast, thus pre-
serving the advertisements for reference. If
our merchants, manufacturers, professional
men, etc, would al unite in this enterprise,
we could send out . /. Business Directory"
that would be credit to the place IS showing
the superior inducements here offered to the
trading community. We think this one OF
tho best chances for successful advertising
ever offered to our business men, and we hope
this opportunity afforded them of Increasing
and extending their business will be appreci-
ated and improved by them. The rates Of
advertising will be low. Hand in your ads.

We can neither walk nor ride, all on account

to come and pay us their subscriptions are
unable to get to us because of the deep snow,
at least we think this must be the reason,
for they said they'd come and they don't, and
We do not know what else there is to prevent
them. We can get no mails, no news, no
trade, no anything except snow. We are, in

Neu Route to the Missouri ,Rirer.-The
Fort Dodge Republican says that the mer-
chants of Sioux City have commenced ship
ping their goods ca Dubuque and Fl. Dodge,
by rail to Cedar Falls, and thence by
teams. The same paper says: sGA
"This is owing to the uncertainty Of re-
ceiving anything over the st. Joe route. If
the merchants west of this, should be com
PEELED to choose between this route and that
through Des Moincs and Council. Bluffs, they
will find this route much preferable, as it is
a great saving Of transportation by teams,

to build line Of telegraph from Dubuque to

lars for that object could be collected now
where one could be when railroad communi-
cation with the East is uninterrupted So
long as they can receive their regular daily
mail most people are satisfied, but now when
even mail once week is uncertain, they
would 60 in for medium OF communication
which would be unaffected by either SHOWS
or floods. If some one would set the ball in
motion at this present time, we believe the
means could readily be raised along the road
sufficient to put in operation line Of tele-
graph along its entire length. No class more
keenly feel the want Of Geographic commune
cation with the East than do our dealers in
produce. Itwould not merely be an accom-
mediation to them, but it is an actual necessi.
ty, without which they cannot successfully
do business in times like the present.
Since the above was in type the follow.
ing has come to hand by the Dubuque Times
Arrangements have been partially made
with the Illinois & Mississippi Telegraph
Company, for putting up telegraph from
Dubuque to Cedar Falls on the line Of the
road. The company already have poles suf.
ficient to build the line to Independence, and
intend to dispose of sufficient town-lots on
the line Of the road to raise the balance Of the
means without interfering with the earnings
