Local Matters. We are very thank.
full to those who furnish US with items
Of news, whether pertaining to the city
or the surrounding country. And we
ask for the help of NIL in this respect
that we may make our paper as useful
and entertaining as possible. We re-
gard the local reading rs the most i'm.
portant department of our journalism,
and to this we always give our special
attention. The readers of the GAZETTE
will bear witness, that on this point we
are not behind any. Though, at frs,
coming into new community, one
must labor under disadvantage in get
ting ut the little matters of passing in.
terest, yet we have succeeded from the
start in greatly enlarging the Local Mat.
ter of this paper.
Last week ended six months of our
connection with the GAZETTE; and in
a review Of that period, comparing its
results week by week with those of q
year before, under our worthy predeces
sors, we find AS follows. In the twenty
seven weeks ending Jan. IS, 1866, the
Perkins Bros gave two and Ave sixth
e SO columns OF local reading per
week. In the twenty-seven weeks just
ending at Jan. Is, 1867, we have given
an average Of just four and one third
"A l-3) columns OF local reading per
week. Here is an INCREASE OF FIFTY
PER CENT. Friends, lend us helping
hand; and we will continue the city or

in the State.

Ills Comi,,g.-What is coming? Why,
Cushman's Concert, that popular por-
formance SO highlyspoken of elsewhere
1t is to be held in Overman's Hail, on
Wednesday evening next, Jan. sOth.-
AS an accomplished aocalists, perfect
elocutionist, and unrivated delineator
of character, Mr.. Cushman has a nation
al reputation and that Prof. Burke
his associate has no superior az a per-
former on the Melodeon, is tho unani-
nous verdict of all who have listened to
him. Their performance embraces a
rich variety of dramatic renditions and
\ choice selection of ballad, and instru.
mental music, besides other features of
interest. We notice that the nowspa-
pers in various directions speak very
highly of the performance. The follow
ing is from letter written by w. H.
Seward, Esq, postmaster at Oconto.
"Their entertainment is varied and
pleasing. The sentimental, the mirth-
full, the grotesque, the tragic, the sub
lime, the beautiful, all We're mingled to-
gether in such happy manner as to
please the tastes of all. They have given
three concerts in this village to crowd
ed houses, many being unable to obtain
seats, although given in our Presbyte-
rian Church, which can accommodate
over 800 people. Mr.. Cushman is world
renowned, ranking with such men as
John b. Cough, John G. SAKE, Whit
tier, and others, and can safely say
from my own personal knowledge, I
never saw him excelled."

The p. o. AN Riyht.--Certain rumors
were afloat about New Years time, and
they were even put into the Chicago
correspondence, that letters were miss
ing ut cur post-officc, and that sundry
monies had been lost in connection with
mails. We for ourselves paid no atten-
ton to such talk for it 10 rule with
US, to treat rs mere idle report, not en-
titled to publication, all that might in
jure any one, unless it is very fully con-
firmed, being really matter of public
concern. Time has developed the wis
dom of our silence in this case. Each
of the letters alleged to be missing has
been traced to its destination, and every
particular concerning monies and mails
has been found to be all right. One by
one the cases have been cleared up; one
letter having been mislaid at the west
ern Office where it reached; another
having gone into .ihe General deliv.

A TEMPERANC REVIVAL ALL ROUND.
. On Pusday evening there was a
gr and turnout ut the school house in
Cedar City. The meeting was called
by Messrs. J. w. Sturgis, Thomas
Knull, and others, to consider the sub.
ject of temperance, and its bearings on
the welfare of that community. 1t is be-
ing felt, that strong drink is the princi-
pal incentive to other indecencies
which curse that neighborhood and
that the way to elevate that community
to its fitting dignity, as the newly an
nexed suburbs Of Cedar Falls, is to
abate if possible the liquor selling nui.
sance of the place. .... ....... . =
Zimri Streeter was made chairman
of the meeting, and Mr.. Spaulding OF
Cedar City was appointed Secretary.
DIR. Wallace gave an appropriate lecture
after which remarks were made by Mr..
Streeter, Rev. Mr.. Baker, and Mr.
Thomas West. The meeting was
enlivened by several pieces sung by
the Sunday School children. A
committee was appointed to report
the papers necessary for Temperance
League: which committee consists Of
DR.. Wallace, Rev. Mr.. Baker, and T.
West. The meeting adjourned for two
weeks; at which time Mr.. Spalldine
will give an address. Our citizens are
invited to 80 over, and give lift at thai
meeting, in the way of speaking as wei
as attendance. Our Cedar City friend.
are aroused, and mean to make "big
thing" of this new movement,-a gen
uine temperance revival. Let there bt
an efficient League of both sides the
river, for the triumph Of virtue and
temperance in our midst.

From the Dubuque Times.
The Dubuque & Sioux City .. z.
The Stock Sale and Reasons Thereof
Negotiations for Lease Of the
ad-Propositions for its
Purchase.

We announced in yesterdays Time,
that heavy sale Of Dubuque & Sioux
City Railroad stock has been made te
parties who purchased it in the interest
Of the Illinois Central. We learned
yesterday that the stock purchased be.
longed to parties who held Dubuque 4
Sioux City Dividend Scrip" i'm large
amounts. and who had, upon an agreed
case, taken steps to determine whether
dividends should not be paid in cash
instead of interest-bearing scrip. The
stock Of these parties was bought by NJ
X. Jesup & Co., Of New York, who al.
ready own controlling interest in
the road-and who cali, of course, dis.
pose of their stock as they please-to
put an end 10 the trouble with the dis
satisfied scrip holders. Two hundred
more shares were bought by them yes.
tcrday at IS cents.
BE the intentions of the stock pur.
chasers what they may, there Is no lit.
tie interest felt in railroad and business
circles in the present movements going
on, which will settle at no distant day,
both the bridge question and the fate OF
the Dubuque g. Sioux City Railroad
and anxiety is felt ms to the hands into
which the road is to fall. For months
the Illinois Central Company have had
an itching desire for the management
of the Dubuque & Sioux City Road
They have at last made a proposition
for the lease of the road, Offering to pay
thirty cents on the gross receipts, beside
keeping the road in proper repair. They
agree, in case they succeed, to bridge
the river at this point, and we hope, to
uso proper efforts to extend tho road
west, tor this is an important clause to
Dubuque.
Other parties are anxious to get pos
session of the road. They are Messrs.
Blair Il Ames, and others, who con-
tracted for and built the Iowa Central
X. r., and afterwards leased Il to the
Chicago d Northwestern Company. n,
1t is understood that negotiations are
pending for the purchase Of controil-
ing interest in the Dubuque g. Sioux
City road by them, on the basis u IS
cents for common slock and IS cents
for preferred stock.
What the result Of these different ne
gotiations will be, or toward which
parties the majority of the stock leans,
no one outside knows. But we opino
thatit were better, thousand times
for Dubuque, If the road is to pass into
the hands of either Of the above i'm
mcnse corporations, to have Illinois
Central obtain it,. For in that instance
the bridge would be certain and the
extension Of the road probable. Hut II

PROGRESS OF TEMPERANCE.

Mr.. EDITOR Tho Temperance cause
is holy enterprise. Many persons are
misled on this point. Why, sir, holy
men, who were faithful to God and his
cause, started the movement forty years
ago, in 1927. 1t was iDaugurated in old
Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, a.
mong all the churches. And notwith-
standing many good people Mt first OPP
posed it, still the faithful few held on
to the cause with faith unwavering, UNI
til the people came to il, like waves to
the beaten shore. God approved and
blessed the work.
l am an old school man and for nll
those forty years have been enlisted
in the work. And now I have been
making an estimate of the numbers
that have been saved by it in that time.
believe forty millions too small num-
Der to set! Temperance is the preach
er Of good. Our national war was
brought to right termination through
IS aid. 1t has filled ten thousand
churches with happy converts, and has,
sent out to foreign lands an army of
missionaries. One pious old lady in
her Goth year influenced lad of II years
to join in the cause; and he to- day is
an eloquent preacher on the walls of
Zion.
What has temperance done? have
resided here nearly four years. -Four
years ago, Cedar Falls had eleven places
retailing ardent spirits, and dug way
below a certain mill. To-day she has
alas! five.places where liquor is sold,
and they mostly beer saloons.
Our Sabbaths are now days of quiet
ness and peace, compared with four
years ago, when counted fifteen drink
ing men in one street, and three or four
in the calaboose. See also, how men
have prospereain life. Fer example ::
l see two men in town, both poor hard
working men four years ago. To-day
the temperance man has gained his
thousand the intsmperate man cannot
show five dollars all told. There IL an
old saying, that God helps them that
help themselves"
Now Brethren Of the enterprise, you
see your calling; be faithful, and leave
the rest with God. The pious are pray
ing may none of US stand in the way.
Let the incorporate forsake their cups,
ere they suddenly perish out Of sight
The arm of intempsrance may be pal
sled in an hour; "for whatsoever man
soweth, that snail he also reap" I
hope to see the good cause prospecting
more and more in this place. ..s
