@rWe learn that the crops throughout
Southern Iowa promise well for this season
ofthe year. Notwithstanding the patriotic
response on the part Of that portion Of our
citizens who follow the pursuits Of agricul-
ture, to the respective calls for troops by
the general government, there seems to be
no diminufion in the number Of acres put
in to grain, and it may be safely stated
that as great breadth Of wheat he's been
sown this ~ any .previons.. year, and II We
have been correctly informed, the corn
crop. should The season prove suspicious,
will b fully up to the yield heretofore.

She said, in'ons Of her loving epistles to her
dear husband, !" that the longer he staid
away from home, the better shs liked him.
The longer time il takes for the Constellation
to,reach ", the better It, pleases u; but
We would like to know what's the matter

MAKING BOTH ENDS ALIKE.-The editor
of the Keokuk Constitution had presented
to him the other day, pair of calf-skin
shoes. Both sends Of his body now being
''calf," would it be inappropriate to call
him gentleman COW!
C~zraEevELspEcrAcLE.1SAnsanau.i recep-
ton, at an unusual hour, was extended to
the LIST Iowa Cavalry yesterday morning at
lo'c!ock. They came up on q Northern Line
boat and reached the landing at o'clock.
But preparations had been made to give
them . reception, aud it was given. The
ladies had prepared q repast at Grimes
Hall and we're there to serve it. The firing
of cannon and the ringing of bells brought
out the entire population. The immense
bonfire showed to the returning veterans
the faces of the entire population of Bur-
Angt0n, men, women and children, out at
this unusual hour to welcome back to their
homes the brave men Of the First Iowa.
All Of the regiment aboard OF the boat
were escorted 10 the Hall, welcomed in a
neat reception speech by Mr.. Tracy. re-
sponded to BY Col. Caldwell, and bounti-
fully fed by the ladies. Major Thomp son,
Mr.. Darwin and others made short and
appropriate speeches, in response to pa
triotic sentiments. But we have failed to
secure q copy Of regular toasts and cannot,
therefore, make a full report But our
readers cannot fail to understand that it
T was most hearty and spirited reception
