ORPHANS HOME.

1feSsrs. Editors:
Will you please give us another OPP
portunity OF saying a word to the public
through your columns.
We learn that some of those interest
ed in the Home have not been quite
satisfied with the way in which some of
the children have been clothed OF late.
Permit us a word of explanation. When
the people of Webster City furnished
the Nurses room, they proposed to
clothe the children in the Nursery,
sending OH for the names and ages of
those in that department. We sent them
the necessary information over month
ago, but have not yet received return
OF clothing. In consequence of waiting
for that supply, the smaller children
have not been so well clothed of late as
we could wish, though they, nor any
others, have not been allowed to suffer.
From similar waiting upon Dubuque
and Independence a few boys in rooms
furnished by those places have been
scantily supplied. m
But, in general, we have had to en-
counter several other obstacles. We
have not unless one has just been APP
pointed, as we hope been able to securc
permanent Seamstress, capable of
managing every department. of that di-
versified work. The result has been
that while we have been rapidly receiv-
ing ninety-nine scantily clad children,
some of them have of course been no.
ticable on account of their lack OF prop
er apparel We have been encouraged,
however, to expect soon lady of large
ability and experience in the work.
She resides in Burlington, and held the
position of Seamstress in the Home at
Pennington.
Again, it has involved large outlay
of means to fit up our building. The
drafts forwarded by the President of the
institution have, till recently, been so
largely consumed in that way, that we
have had very little left with which to
supply the wardrobe. This difficulty,
with others, is being removed. We
feel, in fine, that it would be full as just
towards US, and perhaps also more sat
isfactory to themselves, if persons who
are dissatisfied with any portion of our
management, would come and see what
is being done, and learn of our difficult
ties, before they make their complaints
public. Any valuable suggestions that
can be made none would be more happy
to receive than
Yours, A. MORRISON, Sup't.

/ Aa Interesting Case. About lO8 o..
clock on the night Of the lst of January
our City Marshal, Mr.. Fitzroy Sessions
took two teams of horses from the cor.
ner Of Main and SecOnd-sts., and put
| them in Wallaccs' stable, where they
were fed and watered. The horses prov
ell to be the property of Album Smith
and James Jarvis, and after the horse.
had been put out they came across the
Marshal and demanded that he return
the leans to where he found them. This
Mr.. Sessions refused to do: told them
the horses were suffering from cold and
hunger; that he took them out OF the
street in a spirit Of Kindness, and that
they could get their teams by going to
the stable and paying for the feed--he
made no charge for bis services. This
the men finally did under protest. The
next day q warrant was issued against
the Marshal, and on the 9th inst, he
was brought to trial before Justice Cros-
by, the plaintiffs claiming $50 co DANA
ges. VIM. H. Mcclure and s. II, Pack
ara appeared for the prosecution and S.
Bagg, OF Waterloo, for the defense. A
jury was impanneled on demand of
plaintiffs. The prosecution set up the
plea that, in the absence of law author
izing the Marshal to take up the teams,
the act became trespass and an unwar-
ranted Withholding Of property from its
rightGui owners. The defense, on the
other hand, claimed that the teams
were an obstruction in the street which
the Marshal was authorized to remove,
and also that the act was sanctioned by
common humanity, the teams having
been twelve hours in harness and with
out food. The case went to the jury,
which, after being out several hours,
failed to agree. A new trial was fixed
for the 22d inst. and on Monday new
jury was impanneled and the case pro-
ceeded. The jury found verdict of
fifty cents damages against the defend-
ant, and the costs of suit. Mr.. Sessions
has appealed, and the case will go to the
District Court.

GREAT FIRE IN WATERLOO.
Three Business Henses Burned-LOss Is.
tiRlated ut $4,000. 90,

On Tuesday morning last at about half
past three an alarm of fire aroused the
slumbering citizens of Waterloo. 1t
was found to be occasioned by an actual,
bona GRe, OldJushioned fire, some
thing hardly known before In our peace
full Valley, with one exception at Charles
City. 1t originated in Mr.. Blazers
building and spread to G. w. Millcr's
Law and Insurance Office, thence to q
building owned by Mr.. Stearns and oc-
C pied by Mr.. Harrison as Book and
stationery establishment. all three
buildings being totally destroyed. The
adjoining buildings We're more or less
injured, and it is n miracle that any
were saved, for the reason that the hose
of the fire engine would instantly freeze
up and render the masheen" for a
time comparatively useless.
The fire was subdued by the cnerget-
ic action of the citizens who, perhaps.
gave more materia! aid than the fire
engine under the circumstances. This
does not conflict with the argument of
our own citizens in favor of having a
fire engine in this city. 1t is only Oc-
casionally that an engine cannot be
worked, and an endeavor should be
made to procure something of the kind
at an early day.
The loss will probably amount to
S6,OJ0.O0.. 1t is thought that the fire
originated from incendiarism, from the
fact that large portion of the loss on
goods was through the larceny OF I'M
known parties. Others think there
was defect in the tiue in Blazers
building. However, it behooves all
citizens to prepare for all emergencies,
both incendiaries, thieves, rs well az
careless arrangements as regards stoves
and pipes.
There was insurance i'm the Phoenix,
of Hartford, TO the amount of only ST.
10000 upon the whole property. This
should be hint to all who have valua-
bic pOperty, to lose no time in securing
it by insurance in some responsible
stock company, before they suffer loss
blythe devouring element, " fire, " which
may at any time sweep away their hard
earned savings.

Result Of Lnpestigation.-A clergyman
happened into our Office few days ago,
and taking up copy of the Sanddy
Magazine, edited by Thos. Guthrie, a
copy of which we had just received, re-
marked that it was worth its weight in
gold. Having great respect for the
opinions of our clerical friend on all
matters pertaining to literature, We re-
solved, on so high commentator to
give the publication an impartial inves-
tigation. Time prevented the carrying
out of our resolution, however, till Sab
bath Afternoon, after church service,
which, by the way, we had attended,
and listened to very strong sermon
upon the evil of dancing. The first ar
ticle that attracted our attention, and
indeed the first article in the book, for
we had commenced at the beginning
In our disposition to be impartial, was
entitled ANNALS of Quiet Neighbour
hood. BY the Vicar 1t was charm
ingly written, and breathed Christian
spirit Of easy recognition. The way in
which the good vicar made Christmas
really holiday of the Church for his
parishioners, we should like to see
adopted by our clergyman. He invited
as many of his parishioners as would
come, to spend Christmas Eve at the
Vicarage. His predecessor had taste
for farming, and had built large barn.
This he fitted up for hall.
Let US quote his own pleasant words.
He says:
"I had borrowed piano from Miss Boulder
stone and had 1t in the barn. row asked her
to play country dance for us. But first said
mot getting up on q chair this time:-
some people think 1t not proper for cier-
gyman to dance. Imean to assert my freedom
from any such law. II our Lord chose to rep
resent, in mis- beautiful parable of the Prod1gal
ner by the figure of music and dancing will
hearken TO HiIn rather than to men, be they
For had long though. that the way 70
make indifferent things bad, was for good peo-
pie not 10 do them.
And so saying, stepped up to Jane Rogers
and asked her to dance with me. She blushed
SO dreadfuily that Tor q monsnt, was almost
sorry mad asked ner; but she PIT her nand
she yet danced very naturally. and / hid the
satisfaction of feeling that had an honest girl
near me, who knew was friendly to me in
her heart"
We like the Sunday Magazine. We
believe Christian people generally
would like it; not because the Vicar,
in the Annals, danced with Jane Rog-
ers, but because it is free from bigotry
and perversions, and is Christian in all
! its tendencies

VoWdn'tu Pay 2-Itoccurs to us that
the business men, property-holdors and
citiAens OF this little burg of ours ought
10 go to little more expense, and take
little more trouble to advertise our
! city and locality. 1t will always pay
to advertise good thing. And further,
1t occurs to us that the cheapest and
best way to do the advertising is to sub
scribe for copies of the GAZETTE to be
sent abroad. There are not over doz-
en- men who take more than one copy
of our paper, and not half that number
who take more than two. On the other
hand there are great many who go
" shucks," and in some cases three and
four families read one copy of the GA
ZETTE. This is not the most liberal
dealing in the world by local paper
But it isn't our personal interest we de-
sire to refer to. No amount of begging
would secure US d penny and, beside,
We don't want a penny if it comes as
charity. The question we desire to put
is, Wouldn't itPay to give the GAZETTE
a wider circulation, in that it would adj
vertise the town and therefore attract
settlers? We dare say there are many
in the community who can trace the
circumstances which led to their COM
ing here directly back to tie starting
point of the GAZETTE. Many have
been kind enough to tell us that read
ing the GAZETTE first put the idea of
coming to Cedar Falls into their heads.
Very well, then. Won't itpay to throw
the influence in the way of great ma
ny? Seems to us it will. Now, we are
sending about one hundred copies of
the GAZETTE every week to aid in Civ
ing Cedar Falls notoriety and thereby
secure her prosperity. We knoec there
have been good results-to the place.
Now the actual cost of this contribution
to Cedar Falls is about $4,000 a year
A big sum for poor-devil printers. But
ing the town, can't all the rest of the
community together give $4,000? The
GAZETTE tries to be a good local paper,
and reflect all the advantages and in
duCements of the town. If it does not
totally fail, it should be scattered like
merchants handbills, and the expense
of printing and scattering should not all
fall upon its poverty-stricken publish
ers. Not by any means. Gentlemen Of
Cedar Falls, the truth is you ought to
subscribe and pay for two to three hun
dred copies of the GAZETTE for adver-
Using purposes. You won't do it,
though, will you?

N0aufGctoTies.-The people of Cedar
Fails and vicinity could well afford to
give as much toward the establishment
or MANUFACTURES as they have given
toward the building OF railroads. BY
the exercise Of a liberal spirit on the
part of our citizens there is no doubt
but what Cedar Falls might take rank
NJ the largest manufacturing center in
iowa. With our unriyailed WATERPROOF
er, our timber, our good location, the
admirable shipping facilities we will
soon enjoy, in that we shall be quite
railroad center when the system of the
State is developed, all combine to fur
nish superior advantages for our city.
This fact is being realized by capitalists,
and already we hear of various enter
priscs on foot for putting up manufac-
tories of one sort and another. All these
enterprises should be encouraged to the
utmost on the part Of our citizens and
property-holders. IF O President and
Board of Directors come here to see
about making Cedar Falls q point on
their proposed line of railroad, the tow,
forthwith is in q blaze of enthusiasm
and thousands of dollars are immedi-
ately guaranteed to close bargain
something OF this spirit ought to be
evihced when men come here to see
~uout putting up Paper Mill, a Wool
en- Factory, an Agricultural Implement
Factory, or q factory of what sort soever
If the people would give few thousand
dollars in this direction we feel conf
dent the investment would make liberal
return in the prosperity and growth OF
the place. Once on the high road to
fortune and it's no very difficult road to
travel. We should like to see this mat
ter taken in hand, and either by dona-
tons, loans, or stocks, have the people
do something toward securing number
of desired manufactures the present
year. Now is the time to work in this
matter, .

dn Old Folks Tea Paity.-A friend
scratched his head over our editorial
table yesterday, and produced the fol-
lowing ancient item:
At tea party given by Mrs. A. s.
Smith, some time since, there were ten
persons present whose united ages were
six hundred and eighty-two years, il
being an average of over sixty-eight
years to the person. What a change a
few years has wrought in this respect.
When l came to Cedar Falls, some ten
years ago, the only old person that we
used to meet vas Mr.. Garrison, and he
was such wonder that we would stop
on the street to look at him. Truly, our
parents are coming"
Slejghing. There never was such
sleighing before. Sleighs run of them
selves and push the horses before them.
All horses are attached for is that they
may shake the bells and perhaps steer
little. And there are old folks parties
and young folks parties and little wee

dignitied; some. are wild and excessive

with song and laugh soae are very
loving, nesting close to one another
under the warm robes, with whole vol
umes of poetic sentiment reflected in
their happy eyes; and some so shy and
bashful, terribly embarrassed, wish the
ride was over and they safe at home
with their mothers. All! what is the
parlOr or the ballroom to gay ride on
the snow! We couldn't set still and
write this item, so we stood at the case
and putt into type from copy in our
head, while our right hand danced
among the boxes to the music of merry
bells as gay loads bounded past our
oifice-fronr. There is an inspiration
from the happy hearts, which finds its
way into our third-story, and we feel it
as We stand picking, picking at the lit
tie messengers of our poor thought, and
peaceful joy takes possession of us,
and we thank God that the world is as
happy as it is. 50 ~ p r
