DecRyed Teeth.

Ii is astonishing how indifferent many
persons are to the looks and condition Of
their teeth. Fully one half the people
we meet in daily intercourse have un-
slightly teeth, caused by decay. People
that are decidedly neat in other respects,
60 about with mouths dsguslingly
filthy, and whose breath, if you nhale it, is
slckening enough TO warn you to keep at a
greater distance from them in the future
People ought to know that it is very I'm
healthy as well as dirty to keep deoayed
teeth in their mouths. They should be
extracted If they canno, be filed Most

season. And even those that are often
considered beyond cure. can be preserv.

walk, had his head cut open by drunk
en- copperhead, who struck him from
behind with a stone. The fellow was
arrested and taken to Jail, but was dis
missed, at Mr.. SHERwooD's insligation,
in the morning, on expressing penitence
and paying the costs. Luckily for him
he was not caught. until some time after
committing the act, or he would have
stood good chance Of being lynched.
One pleasant little episode occurred,
which reflected much honor on the
crowd. 1t was proposed, in the midst Of
scene Of hilarity in one of the saloons,
that the crowd should adjourn TO the res
idence Of Dr.. WARNE, where the Soldiers
Aid Society was liz session-serenade
them, and take up collection for their
benefit. 1t was Immediately done. The
band played, the ladies came out, and a
collection was taken up, amounting to
S25.lO. Two gentlemen gave % each,
two others Sc each, and a number ST..
Then with three cheers for the Aid So
ciety, three for the Soldiers, three for
the band. three for our victory in the
Township, the party adjourned to the
Coult House. stepping prouder and
lighter fully conscious that it had hon
ored itself.

Ey This road is doing q very fire
business this fall. Its rolling stock and
power is entirely inadequate for the de-
mands upon the Company. Two trains
each way are run daily, and each train
will average over 20 cars. Last week
the whole freighting capacity Of the road
was taxed to carry cattle and hogs. Elk
ira trains were run on Sunday last, and
yet the shipping demand is not quarter
met Here every particle of storage
room is taken up with grain awaiting
and there is any amount of
grumbling at The Company.
The passenger business is also large.
Two passenger coaches in each train are
generally inadequate to accommodate
the travel. Passengers swear heartily
at the slow rate Of speed necessitated by
the freight business connected with the
passenger trains. Why cannot the man
a cement give US, with all this business,
an exclusive passenger train. Certainly
they would CRAFTY every enc who has oc-
casion to pass over the road, BY doing 50
Five hours from Independence to Dubu-
que is wearisome speed for Railroad travel.
We believe il is the Company's intention
to raise the fa'e on the road from Du.
buque TO this point to SO, 80, and to Ce-
dar Falls to $3.50. or about 81 cents per
mile. If they would give us more rap
id rate OF travel no one would object to
the increase OF price. We trust the Com
pany will find il convenient TO do so.

shall be republican, and in no wise contra
vene said oath, such shall be recognized as
the true Government of the State, shall re-
ceiye hereunder the benefits Of the constitu-
tional provision which declares that the
United States shall guarantee 50 every State in
the Union republican form of Government,
and shall protect each of them against inya-
sion. and, on application of the Legislature,
or the Executive when the Legislature cannot
be convened. against domestic violence.
And do further proclaim, declare, and
make known, that any provision which may
be adopted by such State Government. in re-
lation to the freed people Of such State, which
shall recognize and declare their permanent
freedom, provide for their education, and
which may yet be CONSTANT, as temporary
arrangement, with their present condition, as
a laboring, landless, and homeless class, will
not be objected to by the National Executive.
And it is suggested as not improper that,
in constructing q loyal State Government in
any State the name of the State, the bounda-
nv, the subdivisions, the Constitution and the
General code of laws as before the rebellion
be maintained subject only to the modifca-
lions made necessary by the condition here
inbefore stated, and such Others if any, not
contravening the said conditions, and which
may be deemed expedient by those framing
the new State Government.
To void misunderstanding, it may be prop
err to say that this proclamation, so far as it
relates to State Governments, has no reference
to the States wherein loyal State Govern
ments have all the while been maintained.
And for the same reason it may be proper
to further say that where members of Con-
gress from any State shall be admitted to
their seats constitutionally rests exclusively
with the respective Houses and not to any
extent with the Executive And still further
that this proclamation is intended to present
to the people of the States wherein the ma
tisnal authority has been suspended, and
the loyal State Governments have been sub
verified, mode by which the national au-
tkority and loyal State Government it may
be re-establis he'd within the said States, or
II any of them and while the mode pre-
scented is the best the Executive can suggest
with his present impressions, it must be I'M
derstood that no other possible mode would
be acceptable.
