Owl House at Owl Lake, Humboldt Co.
Iowa. 1850. .....

From the Fort Dodge North West.
We got there after dark, and learned
that this was our last chance, as their
nearest neighbors lived five miles north
ward. The "Owl House" was in
charge of very accommodating and
pleasant lady whose husband was off
carpentering. The house was about
nine feet front by seven deep. Its style
was gothic. The solitary hole for a win
dow was partially filed with three panes
of glass. The roof was covered with
prairie sod, instead Of slate. The walls
were constructed of logs on the cob
house plan, without "chinking." The
whole structure resembled Solomon's
Temple, in one particular--itm must have
gone up without the sound of ham
mer." The accommodation were fully
equal to the architectural adornments.
The landlady informed us that they
were just out of corn, oats and hay, but
that we could step over to Il neighbors
who lived within five miles, and get
enough for our horses. There had been
such a rush of travellers that their sup
| ply of flour, meal, meat, lard, butter,
eggs, milk, tea, coffee, potatoes, &c, 4,
was entirely exhausted. But they had
some excellent boiled corn that we were
welcome to. We could take turns eat
ing it off Of large plate, with the fam
lily spoon. The sleeping arrangements
were commodious, consisting of good
oak floor. by lying heads and points"
two thicknesses, we could easily all
stay over night without any inconveni-
ence to the landlady. BY a judicious
arrangement of wagon cushions, over
coats and shawls, we managed to some
what soften the upper side of the white
oak floor. The house was well ventila-
ted by leaving open spaces between the
layers of logs, as they arose majestical-
ly one above the other. Another ad-
vantage of this style of architecture,
was the ease with which the small chill
dren, dogs, cats and rats could emerge
from the palace, with an utter disregard
to doors. The wind grew colder rs
night advanc ID the gusts came strong
er, and our location would have been
decidedly uncomfortable had it not been
for the fact that the piercing blast could
go out of one side of our mansion as it
came In on the other, illustrating the
wise forethought of the builder. Our
situation was too delightful to think of
sleeping, and we wliled away the night
listening to the rude blast and howling
winds, as they swept by, and watching
the gay and festive rats, as they sported
ed over our feet and then advanced in
open ranks upon our dinner pals.

Horrible Murder at McCreyOr

just as we are going to press we are
informed of most horrible murder
committed at McGregor last Saturday
evening. The victim was Mr.. Pritch-
ard, Frenchman, we understand,
who resides there. He was in compa-
NY with fellow from TT. Atkinson
playing cards, and boasting considera-
BILE about having as much money as
any man in that town, and after leav-
ing the gaming table and going down
to the river with the other fellow, whose
name We did not learn, he met his ter
rible fate. He was found on Sunday
morning on the river bank, his feet in
the water, his skull broken, but alive
yet. When the physician examined
his head and raised the broken skull.
he uttered few words, but nothing to
identify the murderer. He lived until
Sunday noon. The supposed murder
er has been arrested and it is said the
evidence against him is very strong
In his boots were found bl0Od-stains,
and the boots belonged to the murdered
man. He was also seen going down
street with Pritchard and return after
wards alone. When search was made
for the murderer, he was found hid in
the wheel house of the ferry boat. His
answers to all llquestions put to him were
contradictory, and showed signs of fear
at once. All McGregor is excited over
this event, and every effort is being
made to bring the guilty person TO trial
and punishment. Pritchard only had
between sixty and seventy dollars.

Mothers, and Drunk.

From the Chicago Republican. April, csth.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Hudson was
ushered into the presence of Justice
Sturtevant. Her little boy, of 3 or 4
years of age, was with her. He played
in the dock, and slipped in and out
through the railing with happy UNI
consciousness of his situation. The
mother stood stolid. She never looked
at her child. When it snatched ut the
folds Of her dress, or called her atten-
ton to the strange faces, she never an
swered. The little clothes were soiled
by many stain. The soft hair was
tumblcd. The tinny hands were rough
and dirty. The cheeks were thin and
pale. The small feet were bare and
brown. And yet this woman loved the
child. She had carried 1t through all
her wanderings. Slender and fragile
herself, with delicate, refined features,
she has dragged her infant through ali
the horrors of her vagrant life. She
was at the Police Court only week
ago. This time she was at the Milwau-
kee depot, drunk. Thence she wander
ed over into an alley near by, and
finally went into the back door OF a
saloon, passed up stairs, entered va
cant room, and laid herself down to
sleep. Here the saloon-keeper found
her, and had her conveyed to the Arm
ory. She did not attempt to exculpate
herself Her lips did not stir to frame
word. She was fined SO, small sum,
but far beyond her means. So she pass
ed slowly back to the pen. As she en-
tered it, the little boy tugged ut her
skirt, and said, "Ict US 20 out doors |;
it's not nice here.n Ii seems as il she
stopped for moment and trembled.--
But she did not answer. And, until
the prisoners were removed, the eager
prattle of the child could be heard, ask
ing that he might be held up TO the
window to sec out.
Mrs. Mcdonnell formed great con-
trast to her predecessor in the dock
She was over thirty, coarse and hearty.
She was found in q ditch, near the
Archer road, almost stupidity drunk
A baby girl of two summers laid beside
her in the mud, wrapped in a dirty
shawl. When the policeman aroused
the woman, she staggered 10 her feet,
then suddenly stopped, picked up her
child, and covered its face with rank
kisses and maudlin tears. The officer
disposed Of the baby at the hospital, and
took the mother before Justice Sturte-
want. She leaned her head on the rail-
ing Of the dock, and wept slow, bitter
tears. Her only care was for her child.
she was suffered to go aud reclaim it

False Calves-Instability or u Saw.Dust
t.- Contour. #

False calves have made their advent
In Cleveland, Ohio. The Piaindealcr
says: I'VE have n very startling arrival
to chronicle: False calves have come
to town. They arrived day or two
ago. There are two kinds. One Is stuffed
with hair-the other with sawdust, the
latter, of course, being the cheapest
Yesterday afternoon, a young lady with
fitting hoops and false calves was per-
ambulating through the park, when
suddenly one of the calves burst. Our
readers can imagine tho result. The
lady could he traced by trail of saw
dust from Rouse's block to the postotfice.
Excuse a tear. Thus the maiden, who
entered the park in form resembling the
Venus de Medicis, emerged therefrom
in state of fspindle-shanked angularity!
Her great mistake consisted in not get
ting hair calves-they being less liable
to burst, and OF a moro pliable nature.
Believe us, dear ladies', II you Will wear
the new-fangled improvement on ma
ture's pattern, that the hair style is the
cheapest. We presume the young lady
tainted when she learned the extent of
her misfortune. But, as an exchange
says, what's the use Of railing Mt false
calves-they'rc mere matter of form !"
