of Muscatine. Joseph A. Green, his for

Beckwith, of Hartford, Conn.,, for SC, 600.
That "Young Bashaw" is very excel

it is equally certain "Bashaw Jr.," own

PREMATURE.-We have heard, from
different sources, that some Of our fellow
citizens living at a railroad station about
nine miles from here, have had a "high"
over the report that the NJ. T. & A. r.
II. was a fizzle,-and that in the exercise
of their hi-larity they contrived to break
one mans leg.
Whether this report (Which we have
on good authority is entirely correct or
not we cannot say, but it Is certain there
are those who would rejoice over the
failure of our railroad project, but they
are confined to retail dealers and propri-
etors of town lots. All the farmers of
Cedar county expect to be benefited by
a north and south road through the
county. Apple stands and beer saloons
can, with little outlay, accommodate
themselves to local changes in business,
but real estate is not SO wieldy.
We rejoice in the prosperity of Clar-
ence, and hope that we may enjoy the
same good fortune without damage to
our neighbors. And, believing that the
failure of the NJ. T. l. A. r. r. is not
among the probabilities, we would advise
our neighbors not to sacrifice many legs
in contemplation Of our disappointment;
for legs are found to be very convent
ent part of the human anatomy, in case
one should want to move. We think it
little unkind to commence rejoicing
over our reverses before we have met
with any; yet we will not lay on our
neighbors the serious charge that their
rivalry is all that has prevented Chicago
from becoming a large city.

EARTHQUAKES AND THEIR Causes
The soft air which fans the cheek of
the rosy beauty into bushes, and bears
to inyigOrated sense the refreshing
perfume OF summer flowers, is potent
enough to press upon the earth at the
rate OF fifteen pounds to square inch.
1t IS this pressure which keeps our
pIe-cruSt down. \ light increase of
the pressure would force it into the
burning flood, for the earth is molten
within, and agitated as a huge furnace.
and Il tritling decrease of pressure
would suffer the struggling .orces TO
break through from below. Earth
quakes Invariably happen at a fall
from the barometer; that is. when the
AR becomes slightly thinner, less heavy
and consequently less capable Of tread
nag down the crust upon the top Of
the imprisoned flames. Over one
hundred miles ofcountry, the removal
OF the atmospheric pressure will some
times amount to nearly 100000 of
tons, which is sufficient relaxation of
