HORRIBLE SCENE AT AN ExErvTIoS.-The
hanging Of Wagner in New York Friday,
for the murder Of his wife, was attended BY
one of those dissrrangsmepts of machinery
which so often needlessly add to the horrors
Of executions in this country. A New York
evening paper says:
Owing to some imperfection in the adj
justment OF either the weights or pulleys, the
neck of the man was not broken by the jerk,
and the body showed by its contortions and
writings that Wagner suffered the most 10
tense agony for the space Of four or FIVE min.
utes. The hands OF the dying man we're
clenched, the bosom heaved, as If from the
most terrible pain; the legs drew up and the
head moved slightly, hither and thither, caus-
ing general shudder Of horror to pass
through the throng of spectators.
1t seems as il the officials who manage
these affairs we're the most bungling set Of
men in the community.

mus Mard) comic literature has lost one of
its most brilliant contributors. He was not,
in some respects. equal to Hosea Biglow, and
IN others he was surpassed by Petroleum '.
Nasty, but it must be admitted that he was
more original than either, for he may be
called the father Of what is now the most
popular comic style Of writing. Although be
achieved his reputation years ago, be was, It
is said, at the time Of his death, only about
thirty one years Of age. He not only held q
merry,making pen, but he was as brilliant il

Among the many Railroad projects
which have been instituted for the
benefit of the Northern portion of our
State, there are none which promise to
be of more Importance, in proportion
to the length of the road than this
We have received prospectus of the
Company, setting forth the natural adj
vantages of the road, but have not
space to give the attention to it that the
enterprise demands. ...........s
The entire length of the road, inclu-
ding side track, is to be II miles. The
road as projected makes junction with
the Dubuque & Sioux City Rail Road
at Ackley, station 1872 miles west o
Dubuque and runs south-westerly
through the valley of the Iowa to FL
dora, the County Seat of Hardin
County. a.as.@ se..El Al.
Its estimated cost, exclusive of lands
and rolling stock is $500, 900. The road
is to be completed the coming fall.
1t is the desire of the Company that
the people of Iowa may know the real
advantages of this enterprise and that
the construction bonds be held by the
people of our own State rather than by
Eastern capitalists. p .as.. .... .r
Without the aid Of the coal traffic,
we think the road would be paying
one for freight and passenger business.
We hope our monied men will do all
in their power to aid the enterprise.

iowa. the Home foI. Young
Men.

For years past the press of all our
large cities have been earnestly ex-
horting the surplus population to go
into the country and seek something to
do. Each coming spring as the sad
lessons of the past year have more WV
idly impressed upon them their duty in
this direction, they have the more ear
nestly entreated these city saunterers
IN crowded streets to go into the coun-
try-leave the low dens of misery and
vice, or the temptations to frequent
such places, and seek an honest liveli-
hood in the country. When we look
around us and see the rich Prairies OF
this and other states now uncultivated,
calling loudly for good, driving, ener-
getic young NJ en- to cultivate the soil,
we are panied at the thought that so
few of these walters on Providence
seek to avail themselves of the rich
opportunities offered, to become self
respecting, honest laborer--a mans
equal and nobody's serf. It is estima-
ted that one million of young and mid
die aged men in New York City alone,
are wandering about with no definite
object before them, asking for some
thing to do-some way to live. We
believe there are thousands of these
young men who would leave these large
cities, but know not whittier to direct
their steps, and while the people of the
East are saying go! we catch up the
strain as it comes echoing from the
press and to all such we would say
come! If you are willing to work--to
commence life at the bottom and by
honest, manly labor, work yourself up
to responsibility and wealth, to all such
Iowa offers home. To the poor young
man, or those of average means who
can find nothing to do, and who would
avoid the evil influences of the large
cities, wherein are found the chosen
haunts of misfortune, failure, bank
ruptcy and beggary, come and help cul-
tivate the rich prairies of our state
There is room, and work and hope for
all, VINO Will manfully seek them
Alright. H#E
Horace Greeley says "that poor
man who is not base and craven in
soul, city has few chances, few ra-
tional hopes, and that to man of av-
erage capacity, or less, city proffers
but little more than beggar's home
and pauper's grave" How unlike
the cities are the inducements offered
to the industrious young men to come
and settle in the west. To those who
are seeking homes We would say no
part of this state or of the West offers
greater inducements than our rich Ce-
dar Valley and fortunate will be the
young man who avails himself of the
rich opportunities now offered to secure
for himself home.

Secretary Stanton has made final
decision on a bounty case which will
affect large number of similar cases.
The applicants discharge was dated
three years and twelve days after he
entered the service, but the record of
the Adjutant General showed that his
term of service was eleven days less
than three years. 1t was decided at the
pay department that the term "Expira-
ton of term of service" applies rather
TO the organization, than to the indiyid-
uai, and the Secretary of War approved
the decision. Thus, man who had
faithfully served over three years does
not receive his bounty because the or.
ganization to which he belonged was
not three years i'm the service. So much
for "red tape. "--Du6uque Tines.

of the Alta California were being taken to the

of an eye eighteen long columns of type were
knocked into ''pi." None but printer can
realize appreciate the extent of such a misfor-

Syow-A late exchange says snow is about
twenty feet deep at the summit on the line of

should like to compare the Dutch Flat and Yu5a
Gan routes and determine by some sort of CAL
culation-say of the kind used by Judah in
determining that the Yuba Gap route was not
feasble-whether the Dutch Flat route with
twenty feet of snow really possessed such superior
advantages over the Yuba Gap, which at the
closhof the late storm had only from two and
one yalf to three feet on the summit The at
tention of the managers of the Pacific Railroad
