RAILWAY CASUALTIES.

These are not uncommon, but they are
coming too close to us for comfort. There
seems to be set determination to do in
jury to our Road out west. About two
weeks since, block was placed under the
switch at Castalia which threw the engine
off, its too and brought it back again at
the stern, but the deyilment ditchcd six
freight cars. On Friday last, 6 P. NJ,
while the passenger train was coming to
Gard station, miles west Of McGregor,
the Engineer and Fireman saw a scoundrel
turn the switch, just in time to save the
train. The grade is very much down just
there and the trains do not stop except flag
ged. Breaks were whistled and the En-
CINE, tender and baggage only went off.
After an hours delay all was right again.
The rascal was looked for. but the brush
(lOrfeet high enabled him to escape. Mr..
Swarthout, the Asst. Supt. has a vigilant
watch along the track and it is hoped the
6end who, out of personal spite, would
leopard the lives ola whole train, will be
caught and bound on the track so that be
may realize the infalny of his intention
when the first train passes over his brutal

MoNoNA.-Mr. Mason informs US that
IN attempted robbery took place there an
evening or two since. A man was seento
cut the pocket Of a passenger at the depot
while the cars were in waiting. Chase
was given, and a general rousing UP OF
the citizens made it warm work for the
william. Mason came on or near him at
one time, and discharged his pistol at him,
but lie thinks without effect. The thief
escaped, and probably hid in Sackrider's
thicket till the quietness Of midnight en-
abled him to leave.
We know not if this account is quite
correct, but it is the substance as we
remember it. Thieves, murdcrers and
fends who switch off trains, are getting
to be quite plenty along the line Of the
road west. The country is we'll supplied
with them everywhere.

THE ACADEMY BUILDING.

THE ACADEMY BUILDING.
The new brick Seminary or Acade-
my building IS nearly ready for use,
the arrangement of the seats being
about complete. We looked it over on
Monday. 1t is 80 by G5, and three
stories high. 1t was commenced last
Fall, and will cost, when completed,
basement, fencing and all, not far
from $40, 900. A. j. Jordan, School
Director, gave out the plan; s. Jacobs
was the Architect and experimenting
carpenter, assisted by John Burbridge
and S. Waters. Alsip Brothers ham
died the brick, and J. Cleveland &
Son did the granting, painting and
glazing. In quick examination of
it, we saw nothing in the mechanical
work which is not worthy of the
highest approval. The character of
the gentlemen employed to make a
complete building Of it, forbids criti-
cism, even if we were disposed to
indulge in it, and had the capacity to

with more interest, because its finish
appealed more directly to the eye, and
in this respect resembled printers
work. We. called it we'll done. There
are six square rooms in the building,
each having large and well-made
blackboards for demonstrations, reci-
tations,. &c, &c. One ofthe rooms, in
the second story we believe, has a
side-cut or small portion of space for
the use of the Principal, the deposit
of books, globes, chemical apparatus
and such other things as the school
requires. The stair-ways are wide--a
good thing too-the building was
rooted with the best of tin, by j. s..
King. The House is credit to any

WEArHER.-Goodf for the care OF Wheat
and not bad for Corn, but the latter will
not amount, to much. The Wheat and
Oats crops are called splendid. Threshing
has begun and, all represent the grain
bright and heavy. Our exchanges every
where northward and westward speak well
of old Nature for her effort in the Wheat
and on the Oats, Potato and Barley
questions. There are no grain deliveries
now by team, everybody being busy in
the field. Business will open in month.
Mercantile sales OF Wholesale are brisk.
The stores are supplying heavy for the
trade Of the west. Come and see as.
Vegetables change every day with the
increased deliveries. We cannot price
them.
Apples per bbl., at Lampson & Co.'S,
are $3.50 for choice. Peaches 81 box

Quick CUREs.-Our city was enlivened
for several days and evenings hast week
by the presence Of DR.. j. j. Mcbride, the
inventor Of a magic liniment which he
says curss, permanently, almost all dis
eases to which nerves or bones are liable.
We need not speak for his success: that
part he can do for himself. Having no
special aches while the Doctor was here,
weIhad no occasion for medicine. Nc
Bride is liberal printer-patron and o
model ''man of the world,'' wears long
hair to attract inquiry; good company; a
lair speaker from his carriage; has been
all over the world, nearly; makes money
rapidly and spends it freely. Those who
counsclled him al. McGregor and used his
mediciae, generally admit that they are
benefited. We belong to the regular
practice in medicine, but it is our wish
not to have professional business with
any school" LIE SAGE, one Of the most
eminent Of physicians, satirized medical
men SO wickedly in his Gil Bias that we
feel authorized to say about them pretty
much what we please. When we get sick
they do with us as they please, why not
our turn to he independent?

ST. Louis is to have a convention on

leader in the massacre on board the
Steamer Dubuque, is not true.-...Andy

Hon. Geo. II. Pendleton, of Cincinnati
has accepted the Ohio Governor Nomina-
ton at the hands of the State Central
Committee, rice Gen. Rosencrans declined.
The Generals private affairs would not
admit of his acceptance: he cordially in
dorses the platform of the Ohio democracy
and bids it Coward"
Mr., Pendleton's financial theory, as
to National affairs, is now the theory Of
all men outside the Bond ring, and We
confidently predict his election. Pretty
songs and heavy taxes can no longer
charm Labor.

LABOR UNloN.-Mr. Geo. Prindle, in
the last Neacs, severely denounces the IN
ion for having strayed from. its original
position. The original platform, series
of points for guidance, as defined by Mr..
Prindle, makes up formidable pile of
observances that look to us quite impract-
icable, but it is not our business to take a
hand in thei- discussions. The Union, as
at present running in McGregor, will
plead its own case Of course "a

SENAroR.-Andy Felt, Of the Nashua
Post, is strongly spoken of for Senator in
the Chickasaw district. There is no de-
nying the young mans ability, and in case
of his nomination, his election is presump-
lively certain. Ills party may require a
little security from him, assuring them
that he wont break too many traces during
his proposed incumbency. Four gears on
an even pull, is long time-for Andy.

He cant help his impulsive ways. His
name is Of German "consent," but he was

to the Labor Union. She was, rs usual,
prompt to make motions, but they were
