unchanged.
One hundred and sixty convalescents, boun-
ty.iumpers, &c, were brought up In charge Of

at Alexandria Among the prisoners were five
rebel OH GERS and three citizens, who were
brought up to the city and turned over to the

over twenty steamers anchored below that
point, being afraid to risk coming up when
there was no light.

n NOBLE Fork Learning that some G!
the soldiers wives in this place were suffer
ing for wood, the members Of the Board OF
Trade resolved that they would levy tax Of
one cent on every bushel of wheat bought
by them, and five cents on every hog, and
the tax thus raised to be invested in wood
for the benefit of such families Of soldiers as
might need assistance. In four days the tax
amounted to four hundred dollars, over one
hundred and fifty dollars of which were COL
lected and paid in for the purpose named
We believe the person paying the largest
amount was Mr.. Tuos. F. Rgswlcx, whose
tax amounted to thirty six dollars. This
generous act reflects great credit on our
whole souled, patriotic Board Of Trade. That
is the way Cedar Falls provides for the needy
in her-midst; and the County will not be
asked to foot this bill either. We Judge tina,
there are localities in this County where the
people never give the first cent to the needy
in their midst but that they ask the County
to reimburse them. IF this were not the
case, We do not see why Township with a
population one thousand less than that of
Cedar Falls, should hare paupcr bin before

they reach the age of seven years, and yet
at this time stand over three feet high. This
pair is perfectly tame having been captured
when young.
