s THE NIcOLs0N PAvRMEST.-This new
method of improving streets, we notice
by our exchanges, is fast coming into
general favor. From New York TO San
Francisco the subject is be;ug discussed
in all corporations when the paving of
the streets are esteemed an object of
necessity, and the preponderence9 Of
evidence is decidedly in favor of the
Nicolson.
e a correspondent Of the San Francis
CO Morning Call in discussing this sub
jsct says: 'In freedom from dust, noise
lessness, and ease 10 horses feet, the
Nicolson is far superior TO the Russ
pavement. The Russ pavement, as laid
in Broadway, New York, has proven
failure. Afording no foothold to horses,
the poor brutes slip and slide upon il as
though they were shod with skates; and
horse down Is sight To be seen at any
hour Of the day, or on any block along
the whole line of street. The Common
Council of New York sent corps of
engineers West, to report upon the Mic
olson, and they reported so emiaently in
its favor, that it isto be introduced into
that city the present Summer. Another
thing where the NIeolson has decidedly
the advantage of the Russ, is in point of
.cheapnsss, inssmuch ssitcosts butlittle
more than cobbles, and can be laid here
at from twenty-eight to thirty cents per
foot, while the Russ cannot be put down
for less than seventy-6ve." In regard
to the durability Of the NicoIson, the
evidence is decidedly in its favor.
Chicago, Milwaukee, and 81. Louis
have each adopted the Nicolson, and
all bear warm testimony TO its superior
ity. 800
We think this Question is of sufficient
importance to be urged upon the atten-
tiou.of our city authorities. The dust
in summer and the mud in winter are
uncomfortable. There must be- an inn
proYement. Let the claims of the Mic
olson pavement be considered. - z

SABBATH SCHOOL CoEvEsT1or.-Yes
tsrday morning Convention of Sab
bath Schools, the proceedings of which
will be found elsewhere In the JoURsAL
convened in the lecture-room Of the
Walnut Street Presbyterian Church.
The attendance was quite large, most
Of the Sabbath Schools Of the city being
represented.
The opening religious services, led,
BY Rev. B. F. Rawlins, consisted Of
singing and prayer, and were highly in
tefesting aad inpressive. Oh 1Ad -
This morning the Convention re-as-
sembles at nine o'clock, and at two
o'clock this afternoon a Mass conven-
ton of all the Sabbath Schools in the
city will be held; and it is urged upon
the parents Of Sabbath School children
that they have their children prepared
to be promptly in attendance, aud il is
hoped that no Sabbath School scholar
VIII De absent
We ere glad to see the interest that is
now being taken in Sabbath Schools all
over the country, and we hope it viii
result in largely increasing the useful
ness of this great auxiliary to the
Christian Church. - -
We do not see what excuse parents
can have for permitting their children
to be absent from the Sabbath School,
and surely they can have but lit:le re-
gard fer the welfare of their children
who do 50.
We hope, therefore, parents will not
only send their children promptly 10 the
Mass Convention this afternoon, but
will 90 themselves. The occasion will
be one of unusual interest and edi6ca-
ton.

brick to finish the structure, but owing
to the wetncss Of the season, Mr.. II.

If the Legislature of next winter

be resumed early in the Spring; and
by the first of November, 1866, the Col.
lege will be ready for the reception OF

g3 The Iowa Central Railroad. .

II Is q fixed fact, rs we obtain IL from
u. =. Marshall Melendy and Others
who are posted, that the Iowa Central
Road, from Cedar Falls, Black Hawk
County, to the Missouri State line In
the southeastern part of Appanoose
County, will be built before the world
is much older. The contract Cor grad
ing between Cedar Falls and Toledo, 81
miles, has been let, and the road will
be ready for the ties by the lst of July,
1865. The road passes through Toledo,
Grinnell, Oskaloosa, Eddyville, Albion,
and near Centervillc, Appanoose Coun-
ty. The engineers Will meet those OF
the North-Missouri Road I'm few days,
and make arrangements for a connec-
ton. sal,rf ..s N.a.,.F ........ -aaIffsy..
1t is $50 miles from the State Line to
st. Louis and ITS miles fthis distance
are railroaded, leaving but SO miles OF
road to construct, in order to form a
connection in iowa with the trunk OF
the Central. ia
Thirty miles of the 50 from the State
Line to Macon City are graded. '.h
From Cedar Falls to the Minnesota
State Line, the distance is 90 miles
fifteen miles of which--that Is, from
Cedar Falls to Waverly--are graded -
From the Minnesota State Limo to- st.
Paul, u distance of l70 miles intervcEes
The whole distance from st. Paul to st,
Louis, by the route of the Central and
its connections, is 8i7 miles. The road
will intersect the b. & M. II. r., the
Valley Road, the NJ. Il nj. r.. r. al
Grinnell the North Western at Toledo,
the Dubuque and Sioux. City ut Cedar
Falls, the McGregor Western, and two
or three railroads in Minnesota. This
! tapping of the great lines will have a
tendency to develop the resources of the
State in n remarkable degree
| Agreat trunk railway leading through,
/ the heart of three States, from st, Pau
to st. Louis, will open up to interio,
Iowa oil the advantages of the prairies
and the vast coal region Immediately
! West of the Mississippi river.
1 From Cedar Falls to Missouri, the
road will pass through seven Counties,
all of which, with one exception, have
subscribed enough to grade and bridge
the route.
/ From the above statement 1t will be
inferred that the" Iowa Central is nei.
ther myth nor fiction. It's friends
are making no great blow, but they art
working with might and main, and re,
suits. are already perceptible to tn,
