LITTLE THIsos.-People who are un-
accustomed to studying economy in their
little arrangements, have little idea how
easily money may be saved, and at the
same time comfort secured by little at
tention to economy in little things. Ia
illustration, take the little article Of metal
tips worn on the toes of little shoes. 1t
is asserted that by this article alone, the
snug little sum of over six million dollars
is annually saved to those who use them.

FoRT MADISON, Feb. 60, 1864.
Dear HoUeH: Pursuant to call, the
Board of Directors of the Lee County Ag-
ricultural Association met at West Point
yesterday to arrange premium list and
programme for the next Fair.
Present, j. +. Edwards, President; A.
G.. Leach. Treasurer; Absalem Anderson,
David Fordemwalt and E. A. Layton -
Absent, G. G. Bauder, Vice President; J
w. Frow, Secretary; VIM. Patterson and
D. S. Bell, Directors.
The Board was called to order by the
President, and the resignation Of Mr.. Frow,
as Secretary, read and accepted, when,
after some ehsultation, Mr.. Chas. Mar.
tin, Of West Point, was elected to gil the
vacancy.
The l4th, 10Th and 10th days Ssptem-
Der, 1864, we're fixed upon as the time for
holding. the next Annual Fair for this
County.
Qaite number of additions we're then
made to the premium list Of last year.
Sheep are to have greater run, and the
Fine Arts to come in for liberal share
of attention.
Equestrianism will be grand featur,
in the programme. The boys are to hav,
jolly little ride on the first day ant
last, though most bewisching of all. q
the Snowman says, the whole to oonclud'
with grand cavalcade Of ladies, With al
the et ceteras imaginable.

push its work westward as far and fast as
any other Company 10 the State. The
capital would be glad Of branch con-
necling US with that line, but whether We
shall ever have it, our subscriber can
guess as well as we. The Dubuque and
Sioux City Railroad Formerly tho Dnbu-
que and Paci6c) is completed and in
operation from Dubuque, on the Missis-
sippi, to Cedar Falls, in Black Hawk
county. The officers Of the Company
seem to be sanguine that the road will be
extended this year to Iowa Falls, in Har-
din county, and for the good Of the peo-
pie in the northern counties, We trust
their hopes are well established. These
lines of road are the ones upon which
public interest at present concentrates,
and upon their extension the settlement
and prosperity of the State largely de-
pend.

CONDITION OF THE SOUTHERN CosrEp-
ERAcY.-Discouragement in the mean
while. is making progress in the South.
There is no longer the same ardor to CON-
bat, nor the same determination to con-
quer. The army which is commanded
by Gen. Lee. the best of all, really begins
to show the effect of the trials and priva-
tions which it has been undergoing for
two years. The demoralintion with which
it ia infected, dates from the battle II
Gettysburg; itwould require very sig
nal success to check II, and Gen. Lee,
however brave aud able he may be, can
hardly expecta victory in the eircumstan-
ces in which he is actually placed. Il New

OF MR. LaneOAA.-~
A business man ef New York, Of the
highest position and characters life
long Democrat-at the close OF business
letter, condenses the argument on this
subject, which we are permitted to copy,
as follows:
II rejoice in the indications of public
sentiment toward movements ia favor Of
the reelection Of Mr.. Lincoln-a measure
OF the highest impoftance to the cbuntry,
and to be urged chiefly for three reasons,
viz:
lst. His unquestioned honesty, single
ness of aim and qualification
Cd. Any change attempted now, while
the country is engaged in this terrible
struggle for its national existence, will
distract and divert the minds Of the peo-
pie and give rise to scramble for Office,
demoraIaing the army and the country,
and causing relaxation of effort and fol-
lowed by change in oil officers from the
highest to the lowest.
Sd. The effect on foreign public sen,i-
ment would be damaging, as the cause
for it would not be understood or ex-
planned, and would be construed into a
condemnation of the policy of the admin
istration and leading to serious complica-
tions at home and abroad.
l think all good men should unite in
the support Of Mr.. Lincoln, if for no other
reason than to demonstrate the stability
of a popular Government and the unity
of the people in their purpose to sustain
the Government and put dowu the re-
bellion.

A subscriber in Pennsylvania wishes
us to publish in the Register statement
showing the condition OF the several rail-
roads in the State how far they have
been extended and how near they are to
the capital. The Keokuk, Fort Des
Moines and Minnesota Railroad is CON-
pleted and in operation from Keokuk to
Eddyvilie, q distance of about one hun
dred miles, leaving about sixty two miles
to be constructed before the road will
reach this point. The sum of $l0O, 900,
cash, is on deposit in New York, which
will be placed at the disposal Of the Com
pany for the extension Of the road, as soon
az news can be forwarded that certain
Legislative action asked for by the Com
pany has been perfected. Should the
General Assembly promptly extend its
assistance, arrangements would be made
Immediately which would secure the CON-
pletion Of the road to this point before the
nett regular session of the Legislature.
The Burlington and Missouri River Rail-
road is completed and in operation from
Burlington, on the Mississippi River, to
Ottumwa, on the Des Moines River. Its
ultimate western terminus will be at a
point as nearly opposite the mouth Of the
Platte River as practicable; but when
the extension will take place the public is
not advised. The Mississippi and Mis-
souri, Railroad is completed and in opera
ton from Davenport to Grinnell, dis.
tance Of sbont one husdred and twenty-
five mites, leaving about fifty miles Of
track to be built before it will reach the
capital. Strong hopes are entertained
that the extension viii be completed With
in the next eighteen amonths, and should
II bill which has been introduced into
Congress making an independent grant Of
lands Tor the speedy completion Of the
Iowa link to the Pacifc Railroad 1t Oma-
Ma, be passed, ths event would tend to
hasten very materially the construction Of
the NJ. & M. road To- this point. The

TT A Chicago girl, tired of waiting
for the young men who don't propose"
probably on account Of the expense
takes advantage of the season, and speaks
out boldly over her own name 10 the
" Wants" column of the Chicago Trib-
une, as follows:
This is leap year. I'll wait no longer.
SO here | am, twenty-one years, healthy,
prepossessing. medium size, fall chest,
educated. prudent, large sparkling eyes,
long black flowing hair, and as full of fun
as chestnut is full of meat,s born TO
make some man happy, and want home.
Does any body want me?'
Now there's an opportunity for some
modest young man, who Asn't got much
confidence in himself. All that he lacks
will be made up on the other eide of the
house.

the opposite corner and procure pint of
