The citizens Of Esst Waterloo have
lately been surprised by the startling de-
velopment that so acres Of land upon
which the larger and most important
part of their town Is now built, has
lately come in possession Of one man
citizen of that place. AS this is a
case of much importance, we give the
facts, leaving our readers to draw their
own conclusions as to what the result
will be.
A soldier in the war of 1872, by the
name of Isaac Carr, now living In Wis
consin, entered this so acre tract and
received his patent for the same from
Washington. Several years since, Mr..
Carr, then living In Penn, assigned
this land over to Judge Pratt, latter
wards citizen of Waterloo, but now
deceased,) without giving a deed to
Judge Pratt for the land. On the
strength Of this assignment, which
was not legal, the land was divided up
into town lots and sold.
MT. ". ~. dFay, D cltlzen OF that
place, ascertaining that proper papers
had never been given, applied to Mr..
Carr and procured a deed and now
holds the only proper title ever given
by Mr.. Carr for the land. a
The so acre tract includes the land
on which the Court House Is built and
the main business houses and Streets
A mill seat had also been purchased
and work had been commenced on the
mill when the contractors were ordered
to cease work by Mr.. Gray. We un-
| derstand the citizens are indignant
over it and intend contrasting Mr.. Gray's
title to the land. Mr.. Gray Is, howev-
er, quite confident of having the inside
track, and has employed the best law
yers in the State to defend him In what
he claims as his right to the land. 1t
is, to say the least, an objectionable
blunder in those who were conversant
with the records of the County, and .
severe stroke to the prosperity Of Wat
erloo.

A NEW HIsToRY.-We have just
seen a copy of the new history of
abraham Lincoln and the Overthrow
of Slavery" written by I. N. Arnold,
of Ills. This work is written by one
of Illinois representative men, and
one who knew the late President init
mately. 1t is not an overdrawn picture
but a record of the development, and
growth of sense of justice towards
the black race-showing that under the
guidance of Lincoln, the nation passed
through the late war still retaining the
old safeguard of liberty. It is very
neatly bound volume and is highly
complimented by the press throughout
the country. An agent is now in town
canvassing for this work.

New EUILDINGs.-The prediction
made in our hearing some time ago
that more buildings would go up in Ce-
dar Falls this summer than i'm any pre-
vious year, is being verified every day
by the evidences in all parts of the
city. Among the many improvements
we notice the large dwelling house of
J. t. Knapp, just commenced on the
corner of Franklin and Sd Streets
This building, when completed, will
undoubtedly be the finest residence
both in respect to beauty and convent
ence, yet built in Cedar Falls, and will
compare favorably with the finest and
best residences of our large cities in the
west. The plan is1 drawn by A.. L..
Wheelock, one of the best architects
that could be found in Chicago. 1t is
to be two story frame 40x70, with 20
feet posts. The builders are Stead &
Parker.

LATE ARRIvAL.-With a view to ac-
commodate the wants of this commu-

site the Post Office, are just now receiv-
ing large assortment of all kinds of
Crockery, Glass Ware, Nest Eggs,
Cups, &c. AS they make wares a
speciality, they can and do sell goods
cheaper in their line than any other
place in town. Besides you can get
whole or parts of sets as you may de-
sire. You can't fail to be pleased by

DUCKING.-As sequel to the adven-
lures of one of our sporting men, pub
lished in last issue, we have reliable
Information of another, only little
more so. ..N
One day last week party Of our
sporting men concluded to try their
luck at duck hunting, over on the Bea-
yer; 80 taking with them their guns,
ammunition, &C., they embarked on a
canoe and sailed up the Rail Road as
far as Parkersburg. Arriving safely at
said place, they were not long in
launching their canoe, and were soon
quietly afioat singing "life on the
ocean wave" or repeating "Roll on,
thou deep and dark blue Beaver, roll, -
when suddenly as if to fulfill the old
adage, ''its a long boat that has no
turns" an unlocked for obstruction In
the current of eue,ats soon left each "to
paddle'for life his own canoe" Losing
their load but saving themselves, they
arrived on terra .frn,a, all declaring it
TO be the coolest and most unprofitable
ducking they ever hunted. For further
particulars, call at the office of the
Starch Factory.

EDITOR GAzETTE.--Mr. G. w. Tracy,
Chief Engineer Of the I. G. r. r., with
the assistance of the resident engineer,
M. L. Tracy, have completed the sur
vey Of the line from the point that
ground was broken to the Dubuque q
Sioux City; crossing at slight angle
the lands of Jackson Taylor, to 18th
and Bluff streets, thence down Bluff to
5th street, thence curving to the right
and crossing the river and connecting
and crossing the Dubuque q Sioux
City at or near the N. Il. corner of sec
ton IL.
A temporary track will be built north
from the part of curve to the mills and
factories, connecting with the Dubuque
& Sioux City, between the race and the
river bridge of said company. ah
The company have been very fortr-
nate in selecting the grounds they have
for their depot. Mr.. Tracy says that
we have better grounds for depot pur-
poses than any other station upon the
whole line. IL Is straight line from
8. III. Rounds' house to 18th street, with
slight curve at the center Of section
13-about one mile. 1t is almost q lew
ell grade from Mr.. Rounds to 8th street.
From 9Th to 10th street at Dry Run, it
is almost a dead level. The depot is
located on the west side of the main
track. The approach to 1t will be from
18th street. Passengers will not have
to cross the track from the main part
of the city to ge: to the trains. The
company will control nearIy four
blocks, giving ample room for Passen-
ger and Freight Departments, Machine
Shops, Round House, Elevators, Ware
houses &c. The location will probably
please most of the stockholders. This
we have aimed to do. Many outsiders
are not pleased, from what we can
learn, but of this we care not.
Mr.. Tracy left last Tuesday for Tole-
do, to make arrangements for the Sec
ond party of engineers, in commencing
the survey through Powesheik. M.
L. Tracy will leave here this week
with the party. We learn that the
party from the south under the charge
of Alex. Tracy. brother to the Chief
Engineer, have reached the G. II. /. &
p. r. r. from the south. They are
prosecuting the work with energy and
vigor. We are assured by Mr.. T., that
the work will be completed by the mid
die of May.
1t is the intention of the Company as
soon as this work Is finished. to send q
party north of Cedar Falls.
Work commenced this morning,
April 18th, on the depot grounds. We
have let contract to the Curry Bros,
from Dry Run to 10th street. We in
tend to finish up the work through the
city and put on the finishing touch
along the entire line In Black Hawk
Co. Immediately. p. M.

I CLEAN UP.--A stroll through the
streets in almost any direction will con-
vince the most casual observer that a
little work expended in this direction
will add much to the health and APP
pearance of our city. The cholera sea-
son is fast approaching, and although
We have heard nothing of its ravages
yet, we notice that very stringent
measures, as preventative for that
dangerous epidemic, have been taken
i'm our large cities. Our business streets
and alleys need cleaning up, but more
particularly we desire to impress upon
the minds of our citizens the necessity
Of cleaning up the yards around their
houses. The offal and accumulated
filth of the past winter should be coll
lectected together and hauled away
that coming vegetation may not be re-
tarded in its growth. Now il the time
to set out shade trees, and of commence
ing the cultivation of flowers, and such
for making home attrac-
tive should not go unimproved. We
trust aiword to the wise, in this direc-
ton, will be sufficient. $500 g.9

I DOIn A1lAAs
Correspondence OF the Gasette.
Mr.. EDITOR As the young and
growing city Of Cedar Falls is known
far and wide for the enterprise and
public spirit of her citizens, il may be
considered useless for quiet retiring
farmer to make any suggestions relative
to the country trade, and what would
be most likely to draw the same from
neigboring towns. The country trade
is what makes our western towns and
gives them a standing they all desire,
and Is an advertisement a. great as any
local paper. If town in Iowa has q
good country trade, it IL soon known
in the East and will, more than any
thing else, add to the growth and pros
perity Of tile place.. Young energetic
men will be invited to settle, capital
will soon flow In upon us, lands will
rise In value, and our city viii begin to
grow as never before; our prairies will
Become cultivated farms, instead Of one
vast sea of land, rich but unsettled, un-
cultivated.
IL IL not the duty OF those who would
see Cedar Falls prosper, to look about
them and do all in their power to call
the country trade here? We may
build our Starch and Wooden Factories,
our Iowa Central Railroad, all very
good, and, so far as they 60, will add
much to the town but will these draw
the trade from the country? We think
not. Why, give us custom grist mill.
There. I have touched o tender spot OF
flesh belonging TO those men who mo-
nopolize our-rather their-water-pow-
er. They will answer emo we can't
have snch q thing here, we are willing
to do anything else for the city but we
can't do that" They might as well
tell as that they are willing to aid the
city without aiding the country.
