The weather yesterday, a. during
the night previous, was highly unfav-
orable to speedy or safe navigation.
1t commenced to rain again at mid

day, lightly but steadily. The fog
during Monday night was as dense
and impenetrable as ever prevailed
on the river, aud not a wheel turned
during the night. 1t continued all
day yesterday, rendering it barely
possible for boats to run. The river
during the twenty-four hours ending
at 3 PM. had fallen 6 inches, and
fully loaded boats must now stick
close to the channel.

Tea SWindlers.
[From Appleton's Journal.l


Within few years a large number
of tea companies have sprung up in
the city, which claims to import di-
rect from China, tofurnlsh a superior
article at reduced rates, and which
advertise largely all over the coun-
try. One street is fairly lined for a
considerable distance with them
We are assured by those claiming to
know that several of these tea estab-
lishments are organized frauds upon
the people; that they use the leaves
of the Camelia, which so closely re
sernbic genuine tea that they are
frequently mistaken for them by bo-
tanists; that they largely import and
palm off upon purchasers "lic tea y
that they use the leaves of ash, plum
and Other trees, and mingle them
with good tea and, furthermore, that
they redry and color genuine tea
leaves that have once been used, OF
have been damaged by water &c.
There is one Of these companies
which, we are told, does nothing else
but purchase damaged eargoes OF
chests of tea, and then dries it or
the roofs of certain buildings not Q
thousand miles from where we arc
| now sitting. Tho drying process
having been completed, a small quan
tity Of superior artisle is added t.
the damaged in order to give flavor
| and it is then done up in packages
for distribution all over the country

ize these tea establishments woult
c ,rtainly do we'll to analyze and tes
the quality of tho article which is dis
pensed to them

One ofthc mostimportant ultimate
Railroa d connections for Ottumwa,
is the Leavcnworth Lawrence and
Galveston Railroad, already now
completed thirty miles from Leavcn-
worth, and which. runs almost due
south from Lawrence thro' Kansas,
the Cherokee country and Texas, to
Galveston, and which wo predict will
eventually become the most produc.
tive route on any Railroad in the
country.
A glance at the map will show
that our Ottumwa Cameron and
Leavenworth Railroad, makes the
only practical direct connection be-
tween this great southern thorough
fare, and Chicago, and that we are
virtually on the air line of the route.
1t has land grant of SOC, 900 acres
of Cherokee neutral lands, which will
be worth on the completion of the
road $4,000, ,0Ou but better still has
James L. Joy President of the G. B.
& @. r. r., one of the best Railroad
lists in the land for its President, and
an equally able corps of Directors,
as will be seen from the following list
which we clip from the Chicago Post:
"The election OF Directors for the
Leavenworth, Lawrence and Calves
ton railroad, was held at Lawrence
on Monday, when the following na-
med gentlemen were chosen: Messrs.
James f. Joy, Of Detroit; James M.
Walker, of Chicago Amos I. Hall,
of Aurora Robert Harris, of Chicago;
Moses Taylor, of New York; William
Sturges, of Chicago Albert Sturges,
of Chicago; Buckingham Sturges, of
Chicago G. /. Peck, of Chicago G.
r. Morehead, of LeaveIworth |. S.
Kalloch, of Lawrence William
Spriggs, of Garnett, and S. w. Scott,
of lola. The new Board meets June
21, in Chicago.
If our people do their duty in this
crisis, and raise monty enough, and
do it promptly, to secure the Came
ron Railroad, then the time is COM
ing in the immediate future when
our heavy products of corn, pork,
and beef will be shipped direct south
over tho Cameron and Galveston
railroads, in return for. which we will
receive their sugar, molasses, cotton
and tobacco, making a profitable ex-
change of necessary commodities,
while from the north we will receive
pine lumber, &C., from Minnesota,
over the Cedar Falls and Ottumwa
Railroad, (Which is bound to come
here if we secure our Cameron RR.)
and then with our great arteries of
trade and travel radiating from this
point in every direction, who can say
that we are indulging in hypcrbolical
Ian guage, when we predict that OF
tumwa is to become not only the
greatest railroad centre in iowa, but
also its largest commercial, manufac
turing, and most populous city.
This is consummation devoutly
to be wished, and can be accomplish
cd if every man, great and small,
rich and poor, in town and county,
viii come forward and aid in proper
ton to the benefits to be derived by
each.
Men and brethren. will YOU do il :?
