THINGS AT ACKLEY.
AckleY, jan. l8(

Ackley, Jan. 1867.
DEAR GAZETTE: l am again a SO.
journer in the goodly town of AckIey,
having business engagement of a few
weeks. And still find that cannot
refrain from INDUCING in my propensity
to scribblc for the GAZETTE.
In coming hither, l was most forcibly
reminded of kane's Expedition to the
polar regions the thermometer stand
ing at o'clock, A. NJ. %, and at z A.
NJ. 2S below zero. BY the way, have
you ever tried the effect of perusal OF
the aboved-named valuable work, i'm q
hot summer's day? You will find II
perfectly refreshing. Fortunately 1t
soon commenced moderating, and is at
present writing, 7 o'clock P. NJ. only o
below zero.
An affair I" came Off last evening at
tho School House, which is deserving
OF notice. 1t was an impromptu Con-
cert, got up" for the benefit of the
Orphans Home at Cedar Falls. The
admission fee was twenty-five cents
the total receipts amounting to So. % /;
which was to-day transmitted to the
Home by Mr.. Pardee, who officiated as
manager upon the occasian, your cor
respondent occupying the humble but
responsible position Of door keeper.
There is one fact connected with this
affair, which believe is almost unpre-
cedented, and which clearly illustrates
the liberal character Of the people. The
performers, of whom there were some
eight or ten, each paid the admission
fee upon entering! Was this ever done
at Cedar Falls?
The performance was highly crsdita-
BILE to to those who participated in it,
inasmuch as 1t was got up on the
morning of that day, upon the spur Of
the moment, with of course no opportu-
nifty for rehearsal.
l have several other items relating to
this place. which will give you when
time and inclination permit.
Yours Truly,
'' J.T.
P. s. Jan. 22nd. send you the fol-
lowing report of the markets for the
day:
Wheat, from S1.25 to S1.75; Corn,
from 40 to 80; Oats, from 40 to As /;
Pork, from $50 to G.1O.
The market has some little activity
to-day. .. r.

Not quite so Bad.-Ws are happy to
learn, that, upon careful counting up
Of county warrants, &ct the officials at
Waterloo have ascertained that some
$50, GOO or thereabouts, will liquidate
the county debt; although the
Treasurer had estimated tho amount
at SS0,OG0. A movement was made at
the late melting of the board. for secur-
ing from the Legislature, authority to
Bend the Indebtedness. If this is
accomplished, the credit of the county
will be greatly improved, and warrants
will soon come up to par. s.

Another Manu- Garrison
OF this city, is just entering upon an
important business among us. He has
taken the right for this and two other
counties for new patent Concrete,
or artificial stone for building purposes.
1t makes an elegant structure, and is
cheaper than brick or other material.
Mr.. Garrison has shown us one of the
blocks, which looks and acts like the
solid granite. He proposes to start
works for the manufacture of the arti-
Gle in this city. Thus we go on, adding
one branch of industry to another; and
all branches are WELCOME HERE.

Shut Jp.-We learn from the Dubu-
que Times, that Inspector Hoxie and
Collector Stanbery seized and shut up
three distilleries in Black Hawk coun ty,

A Stuprise.-Rev L. B. Fifield, pas.
tor of the Congregational church in this
city, was surprised by his Pensioners
last night. After very pleasant in
terview, they left. him about SIPS. Rev.
: Mr.. Guernsey of Dubuque formed a
part of the surprise, and his presence
lent much interest to the occasion.

Eloiscopu! FssttUat.-The attendance
was not large on the irst evening,
Thursday, but the next night there
was general turnout, and the per-
formance was very good. Many unique
costumes were displayed. and the people
appeared to be well entertained. The net
proceeds were about SIPS.
Among the costumes, were Hans and
his pretty "Fraulein " straight from
the old country. Pat and his "darlint
Biddy," the Big Ingen" and his
squaw, and others. A Post Office was
established, where We're tidings from
every part of the world and music en-
livened the exercises with its soothing
spell. Overman's Hall seemed as if by
magic to have been transformed into
strange and wonderful place, where
pleasure was to be had at reasonable
rates. In one corner, an enterprising
person couldgo u fishing for the surpris-
ing small SUM of ten cents, and realize
a fortune in trinkets; while should he
wish to learn his fate, he had but to
cross to the other side, and at the Gyp-
sey's tent obtain the desired informa-
ton. Oysters, and the like were in
abundance, and to slake your thirst
Jacobs we'll reared its head in the
center of the hall, where sat the verita-
bic Rachel, dealing out delicious lem
onade to the thirsty crowd.

THAT CoUNTERFEtTER AGAIN.


We supposed that we had assertained the
true state of this case, In saying what We did
last week. But we cheerfully give place to the
following correction. ED. GAzITTr.
EDITOR GAZETTE: An item on your
local page last week headed "Commis-
sioner's Court" has attracted my at
tenti0n.a ,-..,.,. .....
! Without desire to enter upon a news
paper controversy, feel it my duty to
correct SOME mistatemehts connected
with said article; and without COM
ment, although considerable might be
said, permit me to make some Of the
more important corrections.
First, the arrest was not made at the
instigation of the Sheriff of Fayette
County, On the contrary, it was not
the intention to bring Turner up so soon
on this charge; but his arrest by the
Deputy Sheriff of Fayette County, for
larceny, on which charge he was ex-
amined and held to bnil in the sum of
$500, precipitated his arrest by myself,
for making with the intent to utter.
and passing counterfeit money.
Secondly, it is NOT true, that the only
evidence against him was, the fact of
finding upon him "a counterfeit note
and some postal currency, together with
$500, good money" On the contrary it
was proven and not denied by the de.
PENDANT, that in the insi lie pocket of his
undershirt were found, together with
some good money, $50 legal tender
note, and twenty.eight 50 cent postal
currency pieces, without soil or wrink-
lie, as though just cut from the sheet,
all counterfeit, but very finely execut-
ed, such as would be taken by our bust
ness men. In his house wero found a
small quantity of five cent coins, coun-
terfeit,- flask, with the plaster Paris
still adhering to it, used in casting the
same,-several pounds of virgin copper,
quicksilver, and other metals used i'm
making bogus coin. acids used in this
process, and in altering and counterfeit
ing bank notes,-a book issued by the
counterfeiting association, contain'g re-
ceipts for compromising metals, coun-
terfeiting, and altering notes, also the
cypher used by the fraternity, and
Turner's certificate of membership in
the me,-and quite number of cir
culars of instruction and caution. issued
at their Head Quarters and sent to
members.
THESE ARE FACTS. will only add
that an examination OF this kind before
q Commissioner, is similar in character
and object to an examination before
Justice Of the Peace. 1t is not to deter
mine the guilt or innocence Of the accus-
cd, this is the province of a higher
court, - but to ascertain whether an
otfense has probably been committed,
and If SO hold the probably guilty party
for trial in a higher Tribunal.
Without comment, Respectfully,

pound" we have pleasure in Informing
you, that the sales are very rapidly in
creasing, and that we are enlarging our
facilities for turning out the article rs
speedily as possible. Like all great dis
coveries and inventions, it has required
time to develope; but one feels assured
that the long years Mr.. Foreman has
spent in his experiments, and the
study he has given the subject, has not
been lost The time is not far distant
when his name will be linked with
those of Franklin, Fulton, Morse, and
others of that bright galaxy of stars,
who have added lustre to their coun-
try's fair name. From personal ac-
qaaintance with the Ingredients of this
compound, and their chemical action,
we confidently say, nothing ever COM
ing before the public has had any such
claims upon their confidence. Should
You ut any time wish any Testimonials
