Correspondent of the Davenport
G,s-dtc, writing from Montezuma
Powcshick county, stirs up the aues
tion OF building our Ottumwa aut
st. Paul railway, and shows tina,
there is II deep interest manifested
among the people Of that county, up
GA the subject. We publish the fol
lowing extract from his letter:
Our citizens have ALWAYS bee,
awake TO the Importance of roads o.
this character, and have labored Il
the extent Of their means in time,
past, to induce some company to
build them Il road, until now without
success. But the ''hope deferred is
now about to be realized, and Monte.
yuma, in very short time, is likely
to have iron connection with st.
Louis and st. Paul. A company is
now organized, with sufficient capital
TO grade Il road from the terminus of
the North Missouri at Ottumwa ria
this place to Cedar Falls, distance
OF only about 60 miles. When this
link is supplied VIC will have unbro-
ken connection with those two i'm.
portant cities, St. Louis and st. Paul
by as short route as is practicable
to be built, and by at least 60 miles
shorter route than that of the Iowa
Central, and will run through the
very heart OF the great grain grow
ing center of Iowa, and supply q de.
mand long needed for q Southern
and Northern outlet. This line will
connect the mineral fields of Missouri
with the pine regions OF the North,
and at the same time pass through
coal fields inexhaustible, and a broad
scope OF country vastly rich in acri-
cultural resources.

To waken life's discord,
In youths melody.

The bright little boys.

Thank Heaven fol that,

And the Jaunty new hat,
Are tattered and soiled
In the freedom of play,
The rose on the check,
such trifies repay.

But let their young lives,
Feel joys blessed flow,
If love guide the heart,
They'll steer clear of woe.
