PART OF rms ErArs.-F From an exchange ~
lesfn that the Townships Of Benton, Ross,

tax % according to our property, and make
the burdsns equal, and We will freely, will

they are willing to bs outdons by the pso-
pie living wsy down in the Southwestern

MEASs RAiLaoAD.-Mr Baldwin, the En-
ginssr Of the Davenport L Ss.Paul Railroad
Company, will, - We learn, commence imms-
diatsly permanent survey Of the road, be-
ginning At Fsystte, running blythe way Of
Strawberry Point, Delaware Center, Delhi,
lIopkinton. Cascade, Canton, Fremont, to
Whea.land and thence to Davenport. In
this he will probably be saved tho trouble
of a survey, between this city and whsat-
land, as there 10 now such . survey, With
levels, estimates. etc, al complete, in pos
/ session Of Geo. L. Davenport.
The Fayctte county Onion, published .,
West Union, says Of the men who are in
tstested in this road "Thsy all fully un-
dsrstand the many advantages Of the line,
have made their figures. counted the cost,
and made up their minds that the projse,
can be made . success, and they are pre-
pared to settle down to the work" Every
thing along the line looks like business, and
the people talk and act a. though they
meant work. And if the energies of the
people are properly directed, there can bs
no question Of ultimate success.

Island Union We learn that the little towr
Of Moline is now receiving the special atteu
ton Of nocturnal providers. On lsst Mon

and got off without any effort being made
to detect them, that on Thursday night they
again visited the place, and went through
the bakery Of Mr.. Hemsnway, taking I
large quantity Of canned fruit, sardines
etc. From circumstances that transpired
it Is thought that they visited the plas,
with team. and were frightened off befcr.
they could complete their operations. After
the robbers get through with the place, ths
people will probably make some effort tc
find out who 10 carrying off their property
and may possibly, after the danger is pass
