PRICES YRsrERDAY.-Wheat was worth
two dollars and thirty cents per busbel in
this city yesterday. Corn was selling for
two dollars, oats dollar and ten cents,
potatoes one dollar, hay thirty-6ve dollars
per ton. These high prices cannot last Q
very great time: neither should they, be-
cause mono of the articles sold are worth
the amount in greenbacks they bring but
the tendency is good one. 1t will make
farmers. Every son Of Adam in this city,
who is not probably engaged, should flee
into the country and become farmer
He should trade OF his property in the
city, 70 into the couHtry and be live pro.

For the NORTH Iowa TIMES.
HEAVEN.

By ALLEN.
I ask not for lofty place
In the Heaven strive to gain;
At the Savior's feet fain would sit,
Free from all care and pain.
There, where His hand could touch my head,
And His words thrill my ear,
Tie fear feel could reach me not
The tempter ne'er could hear.
Oh, what happy, joyful sphere
A Heaven like this would be;
No stain of sin upon the heart,
From sorrow always free.
We catch glimpse of this dear spot
When We raise faithful prayer:
When we say Oh, God, thy will be done
On earth as well as there"
BY faith the Savior comes to US,
BY faith we feel his hand;
By faith we'll gain this happy place,
And always near him stand.

Hog Notice.

Hog Notice.
All hogs running at large in this city
after the oath Of April will be impounded
at the expense o.. the owner, as required by
the city Ordinance. Some say feed is
scarce and their hogs will starve if they are
required to keep them at their own ex-
pense. This starvation business is not the
fault of the Mayor or the Council. AL the
ordinances will be faithfully enforced until
repealed. Mayor Hammer writes US as
follows: "You who complain about or
dinances will send in your petitions asking
for repeal of the hog law or any other
law or ordinance which you deem objec-
tionable. I am required by my oath of
Office to see that all the ordinances of this
city are rigidly enforced, and l shall do my
duty. D. HAMMER.

Regrets.
CAERNARvoN, April 18th.
Truly, they are unpleasant guests to en-,
terrain, yet how many of us are obliged to
do SO. How frequently, after losing dear
friend, we will have cause for regrets. We
can look back and see (oh, SO plainly now
how many opportunities we have had of en-
joying their society which we have let slip
by unheeded. If we had only'known how
soon they were to be taken away we would
have done very differently; but alas when
when it is too late we find this out, and
We have nothing left but vain regrets.
How much better it would be for US, if
we would only bear in mind that Life is
uncertain and Death certainty, enjoy The
society of friends, and improve present
opportunities instead Of always living in
anticipation the present only is ours, the
future belongs to God. Unless we do i'm
prove the present time our joys in this
world will be very limited: for if we live
to old age we will even then find the future
like the "Will o. the Wisp," always elud-
ing our grasp.
How sad our reflections necessarily are
when we look back over the past and see
the golden hours that we have passed with
dear departed friends, gone forever, almost
unimproved. If, in social hours passed
with those we esteem most highly, we have
allowed them to perceive the warmth Of
the affection we entertained for them, OF
have ourselves received any little marks Of
! true friendship, We will never regret this
Oh no, tits only this chilling atmosphere
with which we surround ourselves, tina,
gives occasion for regrets. 1t seems to b.
characteristic of the American people t.
act as though it were disgrace to let thu
world see that we are possessed of warm
affectionatc feelings. This is not right
Let there be less sel6shness in the world
more regard for the feelings of others
more real friendship and sincerity, an,
then, when our friends, like Autumn
Leaves, fall round us one by one, we will
not, with sigh of regret, say, Alas i
l had only known!'' CAMILLA.

Here is question for the boys to work
out: How can 40 be divided into four

the second you multiply by 2, from the
third you subtract 2, and the fourth you
divide by 2, the quotient in all shall be
equal?

An Albany Baptist pastor called the
State Legislative body "Lunatic Asy-

it, and relieved his mind by calling that
church Bath House." At last advices
the fight between the clergyman and the

NEGRO AHEAD-WoMEN NOWHERE.
AT the late Radical Senatorial Con-
vention held in Syracuse, on Thursday
last, a resolution was offered in favor
of giving universal suffrage to the ne
gro. Upon this resolution an amend
ment was offered, extending the right
to women. No one was found in the
Convention to support the amendment
but the mover, Mr.. GREEN, whereas
the original resolution received the un-
animous vote of the Convention.

Weather. Markets. &c.

The weather is wintry, rainy, snowy
and, to our mind, acts very foolish; it is
certainly notfavorable to agriculture. There
may come time when wheat can be sown
and the spring crops put in, but at present
CERES, the Goddess of Crops, harvest, grain
grapes, fruits, and good things generally,

The Clermont Leader scolds us a little
and goes in strongly for prohibition. We
meant to write agreeably toward the
Leader, but it seems we could not escape
the quiet satire of Judge Edmond's fertile
pen..: his reference to the "classic editor
of the TINES" is pleasant enough, but it
adds no special point to his argument. As
We have answered the logic Of several Of
our anti-license opponents as the masses
see the folly of attempting to do too much and
do nothign; as the reformers Of Massachus-
etts are deserving their late policy, and as
the editor of the Leader is not saint, go
far as taking smile" or even Laugh
is concerned when he reaches the wicked
town of McGregor, We regard further de-
bate on the Temperance question with him
as waste of space.

The --latest.
The special session of the U. s. Senate
adjourned on Saturday last. More Feni-
an uprising in Ireland, is reported. The
senate adjourned leaving forty Offices va-
cant......The rumor that our government
is negotiating for the western portion of
British America is disputed by Washing
ton dispatches. The Washington Chron-
icle, which is furious impeachment Or
gan, in its issue Of Monday says: "When
the senate adjourned last night the i'm
preston seemed to be almost universal
that there would not be quorum in either
house on tho Sd of July next. The feel
ing between senator's and the executive
was comparatively cordial, and the intelli-
gence from the south, promising submis-
sion to the terms of reconstruction, so
suspicious, that very few doubted that the
measures of congress had anticipated and
foreolosed all chance Of difficulty and dis
sension.". .....The Mexican minister to-day
received dispatches showing that the pub
lished escape Of Macmillan to the city of
Mexico is untrue. He is still at Queretaro,
and completely hemmed in by the liberal
forces.
