ccllent sermon preached at the conservation
of the Chapel of Griswold College, in this
city, on Friday December 28th 1864, by the
Rt Rev. Thomas II. Vail, d. D., Bishop

TIE GREY EAGLE WREcK.-Bcfore the
closing of the river Mr.. Underwood had re-
moved 24O feet Of this wreck from the river,
leaving 80 feet Of the best still in the wa
ter. Since the river closed he has been at
work on it, and has removed about one half
Of the so feet, and if the weather remains
favorable he hopes to have every splinter
of it on shore in week or two. That he
will take every inch Of it out hardly admits
of a doubt-Rock Istand Argus.
Coon JoKE.-The best joke Of the season
cropped out in a communication of Capt.
Halls in the Gazette this morning, which
was . contradiction, to the extent Of bis
knowledge and belief, of any ma!feasance in
office by DIR. Barrows, Surgeon Of the Board
Of Enrolment. That anybody should ac-
cuse the "old Doctor" Of accepting bribcs'
to clear parties of the draft will seem to all
who know him to be capital joke; and in
fact, we believe the rumor first originated
in some Of those bs ntering accusations that
the doctors friends sometimes bring against
him some one has taken the joke for
a serious matter, and thus set tho story
ad0at.
The WAvERLY MAaAz,NE.-Far ahead Of
any other weekly literary publication in the
Union, both in point Of size of the sheet and
talent, is the Waverly Magazine, published
by Moses A. Dow, Boston, Massachu-
sets. This paper is devoted exclusively to
literary pursuits containing neither poll
tics, advertisements, or long-winded words
s'to be continued in our next" but such ar-
ticles only As can be confined within the
scope Of one issue, and these are numerous
and of high literary merit. In tales, sketch
les, general items, poetry, ETC., the Waverly
greatly abounds, and never fails to give
satisfaction. It will be found blessing in
every family. Now is the time to forward
your subscriptions to the publisher or te
subscribe At the News Depots.
STATE FAn.-We learn from Edwin
4 Smith, Esq, who has just returned from
the annual meeting Of the official Board o
the State Agricultural Society, ct De-
Moines, thas on the question Of locating
the next annual Fair Of the society, ths
Board decided in favor Of Burlington. Thli
is right. It has been the custom Of the %
, cieiy to hold it, Fair It the same place fo'
two consecutive years, and it would b
hardly the fair thing 10 come the ''gEal
game" on Burlington, after the flrst year
|. Il involves no little expense to prepare fol
the holding Of the State Fair at any place
and one session scarcely rcnumerates Iii
/ citizens for the actual money and troubl
