THE IOWA CENTRAL RAILROAD.
Letter from President smith.
Joint Communication from COngressmen
Hubbard, Grinnell and Allison.

OsKALoosA, Iowa, April I'd, 1859.
To The Editor Of the Cedar Falls Gazette:
DEAR SIR: The prospects of our road
are now assuming a, promising and
quite satisfactory shape. The North
Missouri Railroad Company has agreed
to connect with our line in fact they
have rs much interest in securing such
connection as we. There is abundance
of room for north and south road east
of our line, and it is now conceded that
it Is more polite to locate same nearer
the Mississippi River than our line.-
We arc now actively engaged in maxi
ing up our stock along the line, and
will contract the line through each
county so soon as the necessary amount
of stock is taken therein. There has
already been considerable anxiety ex-
pressed by different parties to iron our
road on favorable terms. Our ability
to grade, bridge, tie and iron our road,
is no longer in doubt; in fact, we can
build, equip and o,Un this road in Iowa.
We have much to encourage Us. All
the important influences within our
State favor us, and there are greater in
terests and influences beyond our State
interested in our success than'in any
other enterprise in our State Our own
State Legislature has shown quite an
interest in our success by unanimously
petitioning Congress for grant of land
The Governor of our State has taken a
strong stand in our favor. For much of
this success we are indebted to Hon.
Peter Melendy of your city; in fact, he
has done more for lis in above direction
than, perhaps, any other man could
have done, and your town and county
owe much to his individual efforts. 1t
is proposed to complete the road from
your city to Toledo at an early day
The contracts for grading and masonry
will be let rs soon as our engineer can
submit report of his work to our board
which may be adopted. We do not
propose to make five or ten years Job
of this road but must get our grading
and masonry completed along the en-
tire line this season, put up the bridges
and procure the ties next winter, and
during the spring and summer of 1867
put on the rolling stock. There are
but few men who fully realize the i'm
portance of this great work, and i'm af-
ter years we shall hear many confess
ions of this character.
Yours truly,
..r .fr VIM. I. SMITH, Pres,

TELL YOUR MoTHER.-I wonder how
many girls tell their mothers every
thing? Not those "young ladies" who,
going to and from school, smile, bow,
and exchange notes and cartes de visite
with young men who make fun of you
and your pictures y; speakingi in way
that would make your cheeks burn with
shame, If you heard it. All this, most
credulous and romantic young ladies,
they will do, although they gaze at your
fresh young faces admiringly, and send
orgiveyou charming versesand boqucts.
No matter what "other girls do,n don't
you do it. School girl fiji Itations may
end disastrously, as many a, foolish
.wretched young girl could tell you.-
Your yearning for some one to love, is a
great need OF every woman's heart
But there is time for every thing
Don't let the bloom and freshness of
your heart be brushed off in silly fir
tations. Render yourself truly intelli-
gent And, above all tell your mother
everything. Fun in your dictionary
would be indiscretion in hers. 1t will
do you no harm to look and see. Never
be ashamed to tell her. who should be
your best friend and confident, all you
think and feel. 1t is very strange, that
so many young girls will tell every
person before " mother" that which IS
most important that she should know.
1t is very sad that different persons
should know more about her own fair
young daughter than heherself.-- Fon-
aly Fern.

WAsHINGToS. d. c., March 18th, 1865.
SIR: 1t gives us pleasure to express
the opinion that one of the great wants
of the State of Iowa is Railroad con-
Meeting with st. Louis and st. Paul
Central Iowa has almost unequaled at
fractions in it's soil, distribution of tim.
Der and coal deposits. 1t is plain des-
ignation of nature that st. Louis should
share the profits of our trade with Chi
cago. Not less than two hundred thou
sand people, second to none in enter
prise, would furnish business to your
road, and you have all the facts and
figures which relate to this argument.
Minnesota has lumber, Iowa has wheat
and coal, and st. Louis can secure an
iron and grocery trade which nothing
less than the extension of the North
Missouri Railroad will secure. Mime
sofa, favored with easy grading, valua-
bic land grants and an enterprising
people, will early have connection with
Cedar Falls, in the Cedar Valley. The
counties in Iowa southwark will do
much in preparing the road bed for the
iron. The Missouri delegation in Con-
gress are alive to the extension of the
North Missouri road into Iowa, and we
can hope that this road will render you
material aid, and cannot doubt that the
wealth and enterprise of st. Louis will
be readily enlisted to restore that trade,
now lost, in the State of Iowa.
Wishing you all success, we remain your
obedient servants, err #NEss sN###

restored to Mr.. Murphy, who cannot
well afford to lose him.
