Taking up Estrays. A.

Very few understand the legal way Of
taking up and advertising estrays. For
the better Information of our readers
on this subject, we reprint the follow
ing from the Muscatine Journol:
The law prescribes that the time for
taking up estray cattle, horses, sheep
and swine shall be from the first OF No
vember till the first of May. NO one
Du. " hvuselIvftiei 10 authorized to take
up an estray. When taken up he must
post up three written notices OF the fact
in his township, describing the animal.
If after ten days no owner is found the
animal must be appraised before JUS
tice OF the peace, who shall within tell
days thereafter send certified copy to
the county clerk, who will enter the
same in his estray book. If the value
of the animal exceeds ten dollars the
notice must be published in one of the
county papers and in the Iowa Home
stead, at Des Moincs.

The Cedar Rapids and st. Louis
Railroad scheme seems to be ratheroun
der cloud. The Sigourney -Ncus says:
The corps of engineers engaged in
Surveying the line Of the Cedar Rapids
place on Tuesday evening last. With
regard to any advantages or disadvanta
ges developed by this survey, we know
nothing, other than that the route will
be an expensive one, requiring a large
amount of grading and bridging. If
the people expect to see this road built,
they VIII have to open their purse
strings great deal more literally than
many of them are now doing.

to s per cent. per annum and according
to the National Banking Act, the Ma

more than the legal rate of interest in
the States in which they are established

A Daring Robbery.

to the Boston journal, tells n remarka-
bic robbery in New York. He says !:
" the broker was inside the counter
near the safe. a man came in without
a hat, and with u pen behind his ear.
He walked round to the spot where the
banker stood, who was talking to gen
tleman, and said to him. Please to
move, sir" and the banker did. The
fellow cooily took out of the safe sew
eral thousand United States bonds, and
coolly walked away and has never been
seen from that time to this. Near the
closing hours ofbusiness the bonds were
sought for and could not be found
The banker turned to one of the clerks
and asked him for them, stating that
he saw him remove them from the
drawer. Fortunately the clerk was
able to prove All alibi, and then the au-
dacity OF the thief was made apparent
