The Io,ca Central.-We have consid-
cradle interesting information in regard
to the Iowa Central Railroad which we
should like to place before our readers
this week ; but the crowded state of our
columns prevents the qualification OF
this desire. The North Missouri Com
pany have contracted for the building
of their road to the Iowa line. The
contracts for building the Iowa Central
from the connection north to Abba will
probably soon be ready for letting; and
it is not improbable that the contractors
on the North Missouri will receive this
work. President Smith gives favora-
bic report of the relations existing be-
tween the two Companies, which seem
to be working tremendously together.
He also says that he has received a
proposition from an agent of English
capitalists to furnish iron for the Iowa
Central for one.half cash and take the
Company's bonds for the balance. We
crowd in the following letter by the
General Agent, Mr.. A. ID. Barnum, to
the Vice President, Mr.. Peter Melendy
s.. ALBA, Iowa, May s. 1866.
Hon. PETER MELENDY: -.
Dsar SIR I have Just
reached this place, and have been looking over
the grounds preparatory to commencing oper.
atoms, and believe from what can learn that
the people are ready and willing to do all they
can for the Iowa Central Railroad At Eddy
vile they are in ca rnest, and wanted to stop
me, but begged off by promising them a few
days on my return. l intend to make clean
work as go, and shall put all the men in the
field can work to profit. There are about
200 men on the Sd divisions and everything is
going finely. There is nothing to hinder the
work being completed by July I'd, If the mon
ey is collected to meet the monthly estimates
shall have big Railroad meeting here on
Tuesday. the 18th. Court will be in session,
and hope to do good work at that time. :
Yours Respectfully, a ..-

Secreta'y's Report Of the Temperance
Meeting.-The Temperance Meeting on
Monday evening was well attended
notwithstanding the exceedingly busy
season.
DIR. Kerr, Chairman, called the meet.
ing to order, and prayer was offered by
| Rev. Mr.. Norton.
Rev. Mr.. Faucet, of New Hartford,
had agreed to address the meeting on
this evening, but for some reason was
not present.
lmpromptu speeches were called for
and responded to by Rev. Mr.. Norton,
Col. Sessions, Hon. Zimri Streeter.
Mayor Allen, Elder Eberhart, and 9th.
ers. 5
by the tenor of the speakers and re-
ports made, it was manifest that the
reformation in this community is de-
cldedly encouraging, and that the traf-
fic in Intoxicating liquors has very
much abated and the good results very
sensibly felt and seen.
From statements made by some of
the speakers it appears that the reform
alton is extending throughout the coun-
ty and various parts of the State.
Prosecutions seem to be the order of
the day, and the liquor dealer is receiv-
ing pretty full benefit of the prohibito-
ry law.
The attention and interest of the
meeting was Of the most encouraging
character, and the motto of our people
seems to be to " hold on and go ahead.n
The meeting adjourned to meet again
in two weeks at Presby terrain Church.

Lore, Matrin,ony and Dcsertion.
About the middle of January last, q
poor, tramping tailor came along, hail
ing from Milwaukee he said, and found
work at VIM. Ireland d Co.'s. He
proved to be a good mechanic, worked
satisfactorily for couple of weeks, got
drunk and suddenly disappeared. About
the middle Of March, Mr.. Ireland went
to Dubuque in search of journeymen
tailors, and there again came across the
poor chap, whose name is Ertman VOL.
lenbergh. The man, being good work
man, Mr.. Ireland got him to consent to
return to Cedar Falls. He found him
the next morning badly intoxicated,
and paid three or four dollars for beer,
etc., which the man had got on his ac-
count. Wollenbergh continued his
spree day or two after he reached
Cedar Falls for the second time; but
went to work the Wednesday morning
after his arrival. The Sunday follow
ing, one week from the date of his re-
turn, his employers observed him walk
ing down the street with Miss Sally
Blasky, and construed it into a good
omen. One day in the next'week Sally
called at Ireland's, and asked to see
Ertman. Ertman came from the shop
and saw Sally. 1t appeared that they
were engaged to be married. Ireland
talked with his man to dissuade him
from such haste in SO important mat
ter; but, love being blind, Wollenbergh
opposed every argument his employer
could advance. Very well: they were
married in the German Methodist
Church, by Rev. J. Harlacher, on the
following Sunday-one week after the
walk; two weeks after Ertman's arri-
val. They said they could get along
better together, and would work for
each other. Sally was a good sewer,
and came to the shop with her husband
and helped him in his work. He said
he should learn Sally the trade. Ert-
man and Sally seemed very happy. But.
alas F! scarcely two weeks had flown be-
fore poor Wollenbergh yielded again
to his appetite for strong drink, and abb
sented himself from wife and work for
a number of days. He came back
though, but only to say good-by. He
was going to Dubuque, he told his wife,
and would write to her In q few days to
follow him. Sally went with him a
short distance on his journey, for Ert.
man was starting out on foot, and then,
after loving embraces and fond kisses,
the bridegroom went on his way and
the bride came back to her home. She
was strong-hearted and was sure her
Ertman would not desert her. The
prom ised letter came, and Sally started
for Dubuque. No husband met her at
the depot on her arrival, and she walk
ed the city over in vain search for Ert-
man Wollenbergh. She returned to
Cedar Falls last Tuesday afternoon, hav-
lug obtained no trace of the truant. -
Sally has been employed in the most
respectable families Of. Cedar Falls, and
sustains good reputation. Those
who know her will sympathize with
her in her great affection. @pa.

got in. We are bound to say, however,
that Mr.. Haskell, of the above firm,
showed lis over the store yesterday
morning and led US to the conviction
that RUNNERS is one of the big things
of Cedar Falls. They really have a
very large stock, and there is no posi-
bility for doubling that they are doing
an extensive business. The store is
neat as neat can be; and, though large,
contains no more than half the goods
they have in town. They are doing a
good jobbing business now, and we be-
iieve make it really for the interest of
country merchants to buy in Cedar
Falls. But we must stop: read their
advertisement new this week. for fur
ther information.

conviction rests upon q solid foundation
OF facts, which, we think, plainly APP
pears in this article. There is, there
fore, general confidence in the stability
and continued growth and business
prosperity of the place. Consequently,
improvement is rife on every hand:
new dwelling and business houses are
building in every part of the city; old
houses are being repaired, new fences
appear in every direction; and trees
and shrubbery are being set out in
the greatest profusion. The number of
shade trees set out this spring is aston
ishing, and has occasioned much re-
mark. Two gentlemen, who have
themselves done their full duty in this
matter, the other day estimated the
number for us at 2,000--2, 900 shade trees
set out this spring! This is in harmony
with the general advancement of this
busy little city. Our own citizens, free
ly investing their means in city proper
ty, manufactures, Improvements and
other permanent investments, natural
ly inspire strangers with confidence in
the place and lead them to come and do
likewise. The citizens say they believe
Cedar Falls is destined to be the most
important manufacturing city in Iowa,
and for proof of their belief merely refer
to the great natural advantages afforded,
and their own good works, speaking so
much more forcible than words. 1t is
quite safe to judge place of the age of
this by what its people think and what
1T is evident they do think by what
they are actually doing. "By their
works ye shall know them"
