A LIE-NoTHING LESS. sir Hans
correspondent from Waterloo for the
Dubuque Times, in remarking on the
success of Anna Dickinson at that
place says: ~ understand that the
Association at Cedar Falls lost money
by her."
II is to be regretted that the people
of our neighboring town have no one
that can possibly tell the truth In print
when compelled to mention that terri
BILE name to them-Cedar Falls. For
the information of "Sir Hans or "any
other man." we will state that Anna
Dickinson when here had crowded
house and the proceeds of her lecture,
In addition to what was paid her,
amounted to over 500, and further,
that the Association at this place Is
well sustained and In a prosperous con-
dition.
And further we will state for the i'm.
formation of the reliable 81 correspon-
dent that the proceeds of Anna Dick
inson's lecture i'm Cedar Falls were
larger than at Waterloo.
Will "Sir Hans" sharpen his under.
standing and state facts next time, for
truth sake, Ii nothing more.
AN ERRONEOUS STATEMENT.--The
Dubuque Herald of the I'd inst. con-
tains the following item:
ION Saturday an order was received
I'm this city for -four to be shipped to
Cedar Falls. The mills there, some of
the best in the State, are unable to sup
ply the home demand In consequence
of low water. In this county the WA
ter mills are experiencing great trouble
from the same cause. The complaint
of low water 10 general throughout the
State"
The Herald Is wrongly informed and
there il no truth i'm the statement that
-four has been ordered to be shipped to
this place. The people OF Cedar Falls
have had no occasion to go away from
home to obtain an abundance of -four,
On the contrary 100 barrels of -four
were shipped from this point to Du-
buque last Monday, and similar ship
ments have been made during the win
ter, more or less. If the Herald will
enquire around i'm Dubuque 1t will as-
certain that Cedar Falls -four Is there
sold at retail I'm preference to home
manufacture, and that the dealers keep
q supply on hand,
The mills and factories here are all
running, though the supply of water
is only sufficient to keep but one Of the
mills running constantly. One mill
can run all the time, and any one of
them is capable Of supplying all of the
people of Black Hawk county. The
Cedar river il lower now than it was
ever known before, but then the ice In
the head race being quite thick Is the
real cause Of the scarcity of water to
run all the mills. An abundance Of
water IL always found when not damned
up by the ice.

NAsBY's LECTURE.--Notwith
ing thesevere cold weather last Wednesl
day evening, the large audience ROOM
Of the M. b. Church was filled with
ladies aid gentlemen, who were evil
IDENTIFY determined that the elements
should not prevent them from hearing
the distinguished Petroleum v. Mas.
by" They had often read of the in.
habitants of the Gross Roads," but
had never been gratified with the OPP
portunity of seeing a representative of
that historical spot and of hearing d.
rectly from the inimitable Deacon
Pogram." The lecture was not what a
large portion of the audience had antic-
ipated being delivered necessarily i'm a
style entirely different from the wri-
tings of the speaker. There was less
of hamor and more sound logical sense
in the treatment of the subject than
many had expected. Those who looked
for more complete history of the In
habitants of the "Corners,n or of the
"Swing around the CIRCLE" failed to
find those places, incidents and travels,
treated of in the subject of Cursed be
Canaan
Though not wholly humorous IL was
replete with happy hits and practical
illustrations which the audience appre-
clated aud responded to with repeated
to srh IN nd a..r,tan.a
The speaker produced strong argu-
ments to prove the numberless wrongs
that prejudice and false democracy
were inflicting upon the negro, which
made deep impression ON the hearts
aud judgments of his hearers.
He reviewed the history of the party
showing the Inconsistency of those
words penned by Thomas Jefferson
the reputed father of the Democracy of
to.day--"We hold these truths to be
+self-evident, that all men are created
equal" lfThomas jefferson was alive
nov he could not be elected even from
the district represented by John Nor
rissey. They did not take the Declara-
ton of Independence as they did their
Observation-Disclosures sweetened it to
suit themselves. Such people were
familiar with that passage i'm the Bible
which they render thus: Cursed be
Canaan; servant of servant shalt he
be-" Such claim that the chief end OF
man Is to whale the niger and vote
the Democratic ticket. He affirmed
that no reason could be assigned why
the negro should not have the ballot
and perfect equality before the law
Until that was adopted our great Re-
public would be mere sham. The
lecturer was listened to with marked
attention and closed amid great APP
plause. The gross receipts were quite
satisfactory, being largely over the ex-
penses.

DISSATISFACTION OF THE BOYS WITH

DISSATISFACTION OF THE BOYS WITH
FARMING.-A New Hampshire farmer
says: The question is often asked in
our agricultural papers, why so few
farmers sons are willing to stay at
home. Among the reasons for dissat-
isfaction with farm life, is the fact that
parents fail to interest their sons in
the farm and its surroundings. Young
people often wish to have things look
we'll about the buildings, with a snug
little flower garden, etc. But if they
attempt to put things to rights they
>s.IIUu or tire potaGOo field in
a manner that indicates that attention
to these home matters is a waste of
time. Is it strange that they get tired
of drilling on corn, all the season ?
And when the produce is sold in the
fall, what share or interest have they
in the proceeds? When the boys visit
the city or village with empty pockets
and see what other boys have, is it a
wonder that they determine to leave
the farm as soon as possible When
farmers will endeavor to encourage
their sons by giving them some per
5onal interest in their business as CO.
partners, or otherwise, as merchants
do their faithful clerks, and allow them
the occasional use of horse and car
riage, and some spending money, !
| think they will have less occasion to
mourn over the uneasiness of the boys
and will find their sons more willing
to remain upon the old homestead and
cheer their declining age. Adopt this
course, and there will be fewer idlers
in our city and villages. | believe
this course will also do much to allay
the Western fever which takes off Sc
many of the young men to the new
States.

IMPROVEMENT IN PAsTUREs.-As sue
cessful farmer in this vicinity claims
that many pastures are so overstocked
that the roots of the grass, and the
whole plant, are kept so small that
its growth is feeble, and not half the
feed is afforded that the land would
produce if stocked lightly year or
two, and the grass allowed to get a
good healthy start. He has kept a
large stock of cattle, yet the feed in
his pasture is so rank that in some
places ton of hay per acre might be
harvested. This pasture sustains doub-
lie the stock that can be kept on ad-
joining lands that have been habitu-
ally over-stocked. | passed the pas
ture a few days ago. The snow was
a foot deep, yet this grass appeared
above it. Whether the stock was
COWS, sheep, or beef stock, they new
er failed to grow, and yield a profit
to the owners satisfaction and a de-
cided increase over neighboring stock
of the same kind.
