Ono hundred years ago to-day, TO-
wit: August 18th, 1879, in Berlin,
Prussia, was born theBaron Alexander
Won Humboldt, the most distinguished
Savant of the 10Th century. He died
only ten years ago, namely on the
6tn of May 1859, at the ripe old age
of 80 and full of all the honors which
the world could bestow.
Under the lead of Prof Agasiz, a
movement was inaugurated several
months ago to observe the centennial
occurrence of his birth day, and TO-
day in Central Park, New York, his
scientific friends and admirers, and
more especially the German people
of America, who adore his memory,
will unvoil a statue erected to the

Correction.
From our article last night about
the sale of the st. Louis & G. r. r. it
might be inferred from its language,
that the entire road from the State
line had been transferred. This is
not the case. The transfer was only
made from here to Cedar Rapids. 1t
may be stated additionally that the
transfer was made with the sanction
OF the N. M. r. r. Co.
DR.. C. G. Warden, one OF the Dir
rectors from this county was absent
from the meeting when the sale was
made, an account of sickness. We
deem proper to make this latter
explanation as we stated yesterday
from the information we then had,
that the Directory were all present
except Messrs. Taylor of this county
and Jones of Davis, and that the
proposition of the Eastern Construc
ton Company had been unanimously
accepted.
