.sWho,s Failed p,

The New York Journal of Commerce
says, editOrially. ia answer to the
question "WhO's failed?n
This question is never very pleas
and one for discussion, and Just now
ust now we think that some Of our CO.
tempOraries and many private persons
also, are laying too much emphasis on
1t, and repeating it too often for the
public good. The world is not COM
ing to an end with 1859, nor is every
body on the verge of bankruptcy. The
majority of our merchants in every
department of trade, never before stood
in as strong q financial position as
they do at present. Credits have not
been extended, trade has not been
carried on SO recklessly, and the bulk
of the years business has not been
built, as in some former years, on in
sufficient capital, like an inverted py-
ramid, ready to tOpple over with the
first rude blast of an adverse wind.
Many persons have lived extFava-
gantly upon a slender income or in-
sufficient profits, and as they come
into a Decemberreview of their finan-
cial situation are unable to make both
ends meet. But this need not create q
panic nor produce a financial revul-
sion. Its only when there has been a
general expansion throughout the
community, beyond safe limits, that
trouble of this sort need be appre-
hended. The new year will bring a
revival of trade and with it fresh
courage and hope tomany hearts.
The eroakers cannot produce q
general crash, but theymay do
some mischief, and there is nOreasOn
for any present exercise of their
vocation. Let us all have little pa
tience and more hopefulness; there is
much good yet in store for us.

Romantic story.

, A correspondent of the Boston
journal writing from Concord, N. H,
tells the following romantic story:
One. of the happiest Thanksgiving
dinners In New Hampshire yesterday
was in one Of our rural villages, not
thirty miles from Concord. 1t was
the first reunion for many years of
several generations of q certain fami-
ly. At the head of the table sat the
venerable. grandfather, now eighty
one years ofage. He had come alone,
thousands of miles, from the West, to
meet his descendants. After the din
heT, he told the story of his life. Some
of its main features we have gathered
for this letter. Z GtoJ $3.50 iticgll
lThe hero of the story was born in
the State of New York, and passed
his youth on q fertile farm in the val
ley Of the Mohawk river. In the
course of time he was engaged to be
married. Before the nuptials were
celebrated he became interested in an
other young lady, who also proved to
be engaged, but between them there
soon sprung up a strong intimacy,
which, On the part of both, was care
fully concealed from the other parties
concerned. The most solemn pledges,
however, had been made by them,
and they shrunk from the idea of
breaking their plighted VOWS. In vain
they waited, hoping that something
might occur which would cause the
other parties to give them release
from matrimonial obligations.
At length they met, as they sup
posed, for the last time, and parted.
The man married and emigrated 60
the West, and the woman was united
in hymeneal bonds and settled on the
shores of the Oneida lake. These
events happened nearly fifty years
ago. The Western adventurer proved
a good husband and kind father, and
grew into middle age q widely-known
and influential citizen. Prosperity
attended him, and wealth and many
friends came to him. After twenty
years of married life his wife was ia
ken from him, but children remained.
BY and by several of his children
married, and one of them, came to
New Hampshire. Years passed on,
but be had never again visited the
East. f1r ,r,1 lsatf
After repeated invitations from bis
relatives he. concluded few months
ago TO spend with them, in New
Hampshire, the then approaching

A Man Afnong the Floating Ice
ON the Dea aEOfneR.

A few days since when the Des
MOines river was at its highest stage,
and when its bosom was covered with
floating ice, Mr.. +. D. KimberIing,
residing near COalpOrt, Polk town
ship, desiring to cross 20 the other side
of the river, procured q common skiff,
and alone ventured upon the water.
After rowing about half way across,
his frail boat stuck in the limbs Of 8
snag, or tree, which had lodged, and
Threatened to capsize it. Mr.. j. arose
from his seat, and using his oar, push
ed his boat from its ehtanglementg
from which it became lOOsened with
q jerk, throwing Mr.. X, forward with
such force as to cause him to run bis
foot through its bottom, causing the
boat to at once III with water and
sink, leaving its late occupant to
struggle for life amid ice and freezing
water, several rods from shore,
Being a man of nerve and an excel
lent swimmer, Mr.. X. accepted the
situation and ''struek for timber"
Having swan through the open
water, and when within about thirty
feet from shore, his progress was barr
red by a solid cake Of lee extending
from the shOre-s0lid enough to pre-
vent his swimming-yet not strong
enough to bear his weight. With
limbs almost frozen, be found him
self cut off from safety By q wide ex-
panse of frOtten, tEeGcherOus lee which
crumbled and broke at his effort to
gain a footing. The prospect before
the unfortunate man was dark indeed
but his present situation, If long
was certain death, with a
grave at the bottom Of the river, his
only hope Of release from the terrible
suffering he was experiencing. he
quickly decided upon his course, and
by breaking through the lee, by Tais~
ing his arms upon itand throwing his
whole strength into the effort, he sue~
eeeded in clearing q way to the shore,
upon which he dragged himself more
dead than alive-being almost help
less from cold, with his lower extrem-
eties chilled almost to freezing.
Assistance being rendered, the suf-
fering man was taken to house near
by, where the proper remedies were
administered good warm IRE and
warm blankets applied to relieve him
Of his chilliness, and in few hours
he was ready again for anything
which required cool determination
and iron grit in in its accomplishment.

A private letter from Hon. John
Tatte. NJ. c., informs US that If our
citizens want better mail facilities,
they should notify him at once. He
says tslhe only county in the Uni
ted States that gave Grant a unani-.
nous majority, is entitled to at least
good mail routes, /" and that he win do
his utmost to get them for us. This.
matter must not be delayed. The line
now running from Brownville to Be

place via. Indian Creek, and daily.
service put on the entire route from
Brownville to this place, in order to ac-
commodate our rapidly increasing
population. 1o 11.' sd1 3a1em
Our county is settling up so rapidly
that it is impossible for us to give
anything like an accurate estimate of
our population, and just as impossible
for our Representatives in Congress to
know what our wants are. We hope
our citizens will take hold of this
matter at once, and secure daily
mail from Brownville to this place.

Elsewhere in to-days paper will be

Woolen Factory in this place. This
isa move in the right direction. There

this kind in our city.
We have one of the best Water-pow-

We can build Woolen Factory if we

day, but go to work and build it.
D. @. Jenkins and Mark J. Kelley
are now making their arrangements,
and will Immediately commence the
erection of alarge building on Front

of the lower rooms will be occupied as
a Store room and one as a Printing
office, leaving hall of eight feet for
an enteranee to the upper part of the
building, which will be occupied as q
Hotel. This building will be built in
connection with the house now Oecu-
pied by the store and the residence of
Mr.. Jenkins, and when completed,
will be one of the Target buildings in
Western Nebraska, and will add
much to the appearance of our town.

much interrupted he stayed over a
few days, and accidently met some
old acquaintanceS of his youth.
During one conversation there was
casually mentioned the name of her
from whom he had many years ago
so sOrrOwfully parted. Eagerly he
asked if she were yet alive, and when
answered in the affirmative tears came
to his eyes, and he told his friends
that he must at once set out ia search
for her. He was told where she was
living only six months previous, and
thither he went with all possible haste,
but she was not there. Only month
before she had gone away.
He learned the direction 1t was sup
posed she had taken, and again with
all possible speed he pushed forward.
But fate seemed against him, for fur
ther and further away seemed to him
the object of his search. At last, after
he had travelled hundreds of miles,

three children. @ a5
One after another of these treasures
were claimed by death, until she was
left alone and friendless. In such cir
cumstances she was found by one
who renewed the pledge of his youth
full affection, and asked that to her
happiness he might devote the re-
mainder of his life. Such was the
grahdfather's story at the happy
Thanksgiving dinner, and he closed
by saying that one week from that day
he was to be married to her who had
been so long lost, but who was at
length restored to him. ...s
