It will take three hundred and sixteen cars
or in other words train Of cars over tro miles
long to carry off the produce now at this
point. The above figures show The amount
on hand up to Wednesday night last. Every
day adds largely to the quantity, and should
the road not be opened in week we shall
have in store at least one hundred thousand
bushels of wheat, and an increase in the
amount of the other articles in about the
same ratio. Wheat and pork now bring
better prices than at any other time during
the season, and the amount now coming to
market is large. All that comes will be
bought at just as good figures as though
shipping facilities were drst rate, and the
producers at least will lose nothing by the
railroad blockade. Storage room is the great
est difficulty We have to contend with, but ar
rangcments are perfected to take care of all
that may come to this market ...-.g~-.
Lost, Strayed, or Stolen Much excite
ment was occasioned on Monday night and
Tuesday morning last by the unaccountable
disappearance Of some Of the youth and beau
ty Of our community. The last heard Of
them they had started off with BAGLEy &
Dow's best rig for a surprise some miles in
the country to the westward. The small
hours of the night came and went, but the
dear ones returned not; daylight dawned and
still the light Of their countenances appeared
not to dispel the thick, dark pail which rested
upon the hearts Of anxious ones; the winter S
sun reached the meridian and still the flower
of the town came not, and all was night in
many homes, recently so cheerful and so
peaceful. Where, oh, where could the dear
ones be Had death overtaken them on the
desert prairie, and taken them for his own !?
Were they wandering about, knowing not
whittier they went, seeking that which they
might dcvour? Were they the victims of
misplaced confidcncey What, oh oh | what
could have happened? So questioned loving
Mas and anxious Pas, dear friends and won
der;ng acquain:anccs. Even the misanthropes
awoke from their quiet slumbcrs and muir
INJURED: a,s 'i .a@ ,ae.fsas>r'
Somebody's child IS lost tonight
hear the bcllinah ring; 'a
And the earth Is frozen hard and white,
And the wind has npping sting"
How tardiIy the hours passed to those
anxious dear ones whose homes were robbed
Of sunshine, and around whose affairs disor-
dered inaginations plainly viewed the ghost
of Death. BAGLEY & Dow thought their
dashing stceds and handsome sleigh, includ.
ing buffalo,sotes, haltcrs, and I pair of fur
gloves, had been absquatulatcd with. s"Oh,
the cusses r. they cried, and they waxed cx-
ceeding wroth, and said much that was vio-
lent, as well as injurious to the reputation of
ye flower Of Cedar Falls. They decided to
essay forth and bring in the " boss thieves r.
TO this end forthwith preparations were made.
But Tin the morning there shall be light p
Look down yonder street cometh two beau
tiful chargers, with eyes like unto fire, with
smoke issuing from their wide ,listcnded nos
trils Hold look upon him who skilIfully
guides their course Is it not he, See
those fair heads protruding from the skin Of
dead buffaloes! All! those curls on the
hindermost seatl On they fly! Yes. It's
they It's they! Heaven be praised Safe
Safe ! Oh: the dear ones!
The Mas close their series of compton
fits with grand tableau; Pas smile and look
happy; friends murmur they knew the
youngsters were safe all the time; BAGLrY 4
Dow put old Mig back in the stable, cease
their writings, and commit their property to
So endcth the first chapter.
The youngsters explained this protracted
absence by saying that |" ON account Of the
severity Of the weather and the lateneSs Of
the hour we concluded to accept the mag
unanimous proposition Of our host and host !
sss to be the recipients Of their hospitality |
or the night; and as it is not fashionable to
breakfast early in the country, We were IN
'ble, without disregarding etiqustte to arrive
'rior to this time. There was no occasion
or any nneasiness on our behalf Next time
" Of good cheer" a 49,
There is rumor about town that the oar.
y broke down; had trouble with the snow
'anks, etc, but on good authority We are en-.
bied to state this rumor IS altogether false.
So the cloud disappeared from our CON-
aunity and the sunshine Of the heart again
