tDSre is 9yoehg man living in that
county nit ybt twenty.one years OF ago
who measures in his stocking feet six
feet and seven inches and he is not done
growing either! They also have in the
county young lady, and good looking
one, too, who ia six feet, ohe inch ant

THE Dubuque Times has found a
singular coincidence: "Silas Moore,
Esq, a good landlord but an ardent
democrat, keeps hotel at Epworth.---
About two months ago his mare had
twin colts, few weeks later his COW
had twin calves, and now friend from
that city Informs us his wife has got
twin boys. All of which makes clear
democratic gain Of six. 's
The Hardin County Sentinel tells us,
Of an old man from Wisconsin, who
bought of neighbor piece of land for
So, 400. He came out to see 1t. When
he reached Iowa Falls he inquired what
it was worth. Upon being told that it
would be high at $3.50 per acre, he was
SO completely taken abaek that he faint
ed away. He viewed the land the next
day and started back home fully de-
termined to prosecute the men of whom
he bought. He asserted that he bought
Of men who were members Of the same
church with himself, and that he was
preacher.
The Dallas Gazette thinks 1t very
strange "that people will starve to death
In Eastern cities when millions of acres
of Western land can be bought OF time
and easily paid for, that will yield large
harvests and independence. Strange
that thousands of able, intelligent men
and women will work like slaves and
economist like misers, to get daily
support when by half the industry and
economy, wealth and opportunity for
self-cultlvation might be obtained in
iowa. But SO it is-ever has been, and
ever will be-people will starve and rich
lands will be uncultivated."
The Burlington and Missouri River
railroad, soon to form an unbroken line
with the Chicago, Burlington 4 Quincy
road by the bridge which they are build
ing across the Mississippi at Burlington,
is now open to Osceola, and is to be conf
pleted to Alton, one hundred and
eighty-one miles from Burlington, the
first Of June. There will then remain
one hundred miles to be constructed to
connect it with the main line Of the
Union Pacific, near Omaha. The bridge
at Burlington is to be finished in Sep
tcmber.
AN AFFLICTED MAN.-It will he re-
membtred that few weeks since, Hon.
Charles Dudley, member Of the Iowa
General, Assembly, lost three Of his chill
dren by being burned up in his house,
Sore indeed have been the Affections of
Mr.. Dudley. 4 correspondent thus
speaks Of his Affections:
IA few years ago his wife, the first,
woke him in the night and told MN she
was dying, and before he could light I"
lamp she was dead; about the same time
one OF his sons was drowned, and last
October another was killed by a runa-
way team and now three promising boys
have died horrible death"
CoNGREGATIoNAL AssOCIATIoN.-Thc

be preached on Wednesday evening
June ard, by Rev. James 3. Chase, Jr.,

tinue through the week and following

ance is expected. The Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific Road, the Burlington

We see from our exchanges that Rev.
T. c. Universalist-preache
one Sunday at Clarinda, Page county,
and the next Sabbath at Eldora, Har-
! din county. AS Eldora and Clarinda
are about 100 miles apart, Mr.. Eaton
has surely enough horseback exercise
to keep him from growing dyspeptic.
Rev. Geo. +. Magoun of Grinnell,
Iowa, fills the pulpit of Plymouth
Church Chicago, regularly. To do this
he makes journey each week, of 625
miles. This looks as though Chicago
appreciated Iowa.
