A greater length Of railway has
been built in Iowa this year than in
any other. AT the close of 1864 there
were seyenhundre1I and ninety-tbree
miles finished in thcS:afe. At the
close of 1867, there were eleven hun
dredand fifty-two miles finished-an
increase of three hundred and fifty
nine miles in these two years. One
year Iater--January LIST, 1s69-the to-
tai completed was one thousand four
hundred and fifty-one miies-an in"
crease Of two hundred and ninety
nine miles in 1868.
By letters before us, from officers
Of the sixteen railways ia Iowa, we
learn that in the year now closing
there will be built a grand total of
six hundred and forty-three miles!
On eight Of these lines there is some
yet to build before this amount is
reached. But inc-teaths Of the work
is done. Those that have more to do
have so little that they write it will
undoubtedly be done this year.
Here, then, is the amount Of road
constructed in the last four years:
In 1866 and 1867, miles. ............. $50
In 1863. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. 900
T., GEO GO

Add miles constructed upto 1866. 1913
Gives total of.......................2 1904
miles in operation in Iowa on the lst
day Of January, 1870. Massachusetts
only had 1925 miles on the LIST day OF
January, 1863; and not 200 have been
bulls since that date.
The miles constructed in 1S69-Ci3
lacked only 10 Of equaling those
built in the three preceding years
658 miles.
These figures show one Of the many
causes operating to rapidly Gil up
this State. Its soil, climate, water
power, educational facilities, are the
great charlottesville two thousand
miles Of railroad in operation are the
means by which the immigrant
reaches these attractions. Bythem he
ships his surplus products to the COM
mercial emporiums of the world. In
exchange he receives through them
the manufactures and products Of
other climes.
The rapid multiplication and cx-
pansion Of our railroads speak not
less forcibly than census returns of
the rapidity with which the State is
being populated. More: it betokens
a tremendous increase Of immigra-
ton in the next and succeeding
years. The country through which
several Of these linesrun is very new.
But railroad men appreciate the adj
vantages of the same, and know their
routes will be needed before they are
finished. m
All right! Go ahead!- Bulletin. 4

Feeding Potatoes TO Hogs.

An Iowa correspondent Of the
Western Rural writes that paper as
follows:
81 didn't like the idea Of hauling
my potatoes fifteen miles to market
and selling them for IS cents per
bushel; SO l commenced feeding
them TO my fattcning hogs, raw.
The hogs appeared to be very fond of
them at first, but they soon COM
mencen to "mince over them" made
their teeth sore, | suppose). then
boiled and mashed them while hot,
and put bran with them, one bucket
of bran to three Of potatoes, adding
water enough to make thick slop.
l give them this mixture three times
a day, and little corn in the ear at
the same time. The hogs have fat
tened much faster with thisfeed than
they did when l fed them all the raw
corn they would eat with bran slop
to drink. don't think they would
do better on any other kind of feed.
The pig-pen is my potato market
this year. OF course 1t is not neces.
sary to mash the potatoes to get the
hogs to eat them; but ] think tc
| mash them with bran they will dc
better OH lt-especially in warm OF
mild weather-than they would il
given alone." st aiiaatr

Dogs VS.. Highways and She cp.

AS your excellent paper is the me-
dium by which many questions OF
importance are discussed, / would
like to have this one brought before
the people, to see If a way cannot be
devised to keep dogs in their proper
places. We have q law to compel
owners of different animals from let
ting them run at large; and why not
have law to prevent dogs from run
ming about at night and day? / be-
lieve dog has no right to the public
highway, and should be prohibited
from running at large, under certain
restrictions and regulations, which
would serve as a protection against
the annoyances they occasion. When
found in violation of these restric-
tons, they should be deemed nui-
sance, and killed, or the owner fined
not less than $l.00, nor more than
500, together with all damages and
costs. If my memory serves me
right, in 1867 about $500, 900 worth of
sheep was killed by dogs.
Now, brother Farmers, let us wake
up to this subject, and recommend to
our several Legislatures to pass laws
to protect us against such nuisances.
have said nothing about mad dogs;
but l would ask if any one would be
willing to be bit by rabid dog, for
all the dogs in America?-FARMERs'

INSTRUMENTATION

Great preparations are being made at
Washington for the Inauguration OF the
President and Vice President elect. It will
probably be the grandest affair of the kind
that has ever been witnessed. The interest
felt in it is universal throughout the country;
and, on the 4th of March, next, Washington
will be thronged with strangers from every
section of the Union as it never was before,
A very large committee, consisting OF pre-
minent members OF both Houses OF Congress,
leading politicians, distinguished officers of
the army and navy, and citizens of Washing
ton and Georgeto wn, has been organized to
make arrangements and supcrintend their
execution. The Express, of that city, says /:
"It Is expected that the rotunda of the
Capital, the old hall of Representatives, the
Senate and House corrinors and Senate re-
cept;on room, and so much of the basemert t
as may be required by the caterer, will be
permitted to he used a concurrent resolution
to that effect having passed the House yes
terday.
"Tickets of admission have been fixed at
SO for one gentleman aud two ladies, with
two dollars for each additional lady. Com
plimentary tickets to the festivities are to be
issued only to the President and Vice Presi.
dent elect and their families, and they will
be the guests of the occasion. The use OF
epiritsous liquors or wines is prohibited, and
the entertainment will be conducted or tenn
perance principles. The surplus fund which
may DC realized will be donated to the Ma
tional Lincoln Monument Association. Bre

been appointed grand marshal. He is a

WHOLESALE ARREST OF COUNTERFEIT.
ERs.-Oficers of the secret service entered
BARRIERS shop at IL Cherry street, New
York, on Monday, and arrested seven Ital.
ians. They found about $4,000 in coun-
terfeit IS grcenbacks and 81 and 81 nation
nl currency notes; about $l5 in counterfeit
fifty cent currency, and also moulds for
making counterfeit. five cent coin, and a
quantity of meta. for making such coin.-
The prisoners having been committed by
Commissioner Osburn, the officers went to
rs Cherry street and captured another gang.
These places had been ostensibly used as
BARRIERS shops, but really they were thieves
md gamblers dens. Previous to the "dc-
SCENT certain Of Marshal Murray's officers
were sent to buy spurious coin and currency,
and they bought, paying 20, 25 and 80 per
cent. for the IS, s., and ffty,cent notes re-

counterfeits At 4 Birmingham street the
officers found pack of spurious cent
pieces in possession OF Francesca Stefano,
whom they arrested. The officers su5se-
quently arrested one of the most desperate
of the Cherry street gang, at 10 Baxter
street, where he was in the act OF gambling
with twenty other thieves and gamblers. -
But they did not capture this fellow until
after a desperate struggle, in which one of
the officers was severely stabbed

| HAVANA, Jan. 23.-The Dairio says that

of Rigla, opposite Havana. Tho volunteers
were called out, and since then quiet has
prevailed. At about the same time shots

| Cubanas and Fort Numero Quatra (No. A..
The fling was kept up until one o'clock A.

! found no enemy. A disturbance took place
today in this city, and shots were inter-
changed between the riotors and the volun.
| teers, when tranquility was restored.
Captain General Duce has issued a procla-
nation, in which he says that while justice
will be rendered to ALL severe punishment
will be inflicted upon all disturbers of order.
HAVANA, Jan. 23.-During the perfor-
nance of the mipstrels at the Villa Nueva
Theatre, last evening, there were seditious
cries of Viva Cespedas," and many of the
audience commenced singing the revolution
airy hymn. A formidable riot ensued, and
the Spanish armed volunteers and the pelce
fred upon the people, whe returned the fire,
and many were wounded on both sides.
The affair has created the most intense
| excitement. Sensible men of both parties
regret the occurrence of this outbreak. In
the affair, four persons were killed and
many wounded. No business was done
| owing to. the troubles last night, but the
| excitement is now quieting and no further
disturbances are apprehended.
