- For Renfss

There are ON our list of observations 4"
already forty-six houses labeled for rent in
the city. If the owners do not come down
a notch or two from the extOrtionate prices
demanded, many of them will remain va
cant till labelled ''for sale Although
near the beginning of a new year, when
many changes may be made, tenants will
not and cannot give the unreasonable prices
asked. Without change in rents, for al
most every house occupied at the COM
mencement of 1870 one will be left vacant.

Elle ssIMdiam Scare"

Twas the Fall of IS. Night slow
ly settled on the city. Toledo was III
darkness. Her hidalgos were in re-
pose. The soft wind Of the south
breathed gently over the bluffs of that
city of the West. All was still-quiet
as the graves OF infants, when, from her
border, DER Swallowed by the Southern
Cross, at the dead hour of night, at the
witching time when prying eyes arc
closed in sleep, there came, borne on
the breeze, a cry OF horror
The Indians! the Indians are COM
ing! fly for your lives! fly to the Court
House,
This wild warning woke hundr eds
from their beds; disturbed the slumbers
1.-THE quiet denizens of that lovely city.
Youth and maidens, men and women,
land bables,) started in alright, and
fled for safety to the indicated asylum,
over whose portals the blind goddess
kept watch and ward. A motley
crowd was that. Soldiers, just re-
turned from carnage and from strife,
and "loyal citizens" whose red blood
flowed more freely as the draft went
OH.
Officials, high in power, sought, vain
~, to allay the tempest the alarm had
wrought. Speeches were made; tales
Of dead Indians, seen in dreams, and
ghosts OF chicttains and papooses red
with paint, untoldcd; the bells were

rung, bon fires lighted, the cry Of "fire!'
was made-excitemen ruled the night.
Suddenly-quictly-and yet furious.
~, with the wild clangor OF crashing
arms, came help and succor. A chief
tam of the bloody 14th, with daring
band of horse men, rushed recklcssly
through the flying crowd of screaming
children. Mounted on mules and
steecs Of various ages, equipped with
pistols, knives and guns, and, (sad to
say,) without ball or powder, these he
roes Of the war, "snufiing the battle
from afar,"-rushcd madly to the con-
test.
"Brave boys were they!' willing to
do and die, they volunteered to visit
the camp OF the red warriors, who
were desolating theirhcaiths and homes.
With the bencdiction Of the atfrighted
threng, they started, and, under the
daring lead of their illustrious chief,
they rushed-not to the Indian carp,
but to Iuka's safe retreats.
Camp-fires were lighted in the
streets, guards stationed at the sever
al roads, Of which all, all save one were
picketed. The road to Cedar Rapids
was lett ungnarded. "What shall be
done?" was echoed from the settlers OF
that eastern street. "Ill go dar, mas
sar' came from the deep throat of he
roic African. Then. as if bravery had
been infused into their sluggish veins,
by the resolution of this dark skinned
citizen, six men, without weapons,
followed in his lead, to guard the town,
and he, this brawny negro, was armed
with an old rusty musket, innocent of
lock or trigger.
The night wore on. The hazy grey
of dawn family kissed the morn, and
when the king of day rose with his re-
splendent crown above the eastern hills,
all, all was quiet.
The storm was hushcd, the cavalry
returncd-and naught was heard save
the rude laughter OF brave men, whose
nerves. restored by distant foes, rocked
at the dangers which now alarmed
them not.
History, with unerrlng pen, in after
years will chronicle the deeds of those
brave heroes, who, in Toledo's darkest
hour, rushed to her safety, and did ey-
cry thin. but fight in her defense!

Nothing Surer.

Than what? Advertising, OF course.
Last week travelling peddler found a
handsome sum of money. Living in an
adjoining county, personal inquiries
for the owner, would, in all probability,
have been entirely futile. 1t was
advertised and in less than twelve
hours the property was called for,
proven and returned.
A farmer lost two valuable colts
After couple OF weeks OF hunting,
botheratlon and anxiety he concluded
to advertise them. He did so. The
paper went out of the Office on Thurs
day night. In a day or two the man
who had found the colts received his
weekly news-bearer, and among the
new advertisements which he, as well
as most farmers, always read, was the
description of the strange colts that
had wandered dozen miles or more
from home. OF course it was an easy
thing to get word to the proper owner,
and easier thing for the owner to 60
directly to the right locality and Sc
cure his estrays--saving both time aud
further annoyance. Like a sensible
man he subscribed fer the paper and
now is firm believer in advertising.
One more. A party lost horse IN
town and, after hunting until discour.
aged, came in and ordered hand bills
printed. These were freely scattered
about. The next day a farmer, living
at some distance from Anamosa, came
in to do business. The hand-bill at
tracted his attention; he read it and
found that the animal described was
the same that he had observed wan
dering about his premises. Notice
was Immediately given to the owner
aud the horse was of course forthwith
returned to his accustomed stall
We might multiply incidents of this
kind but it is not necessary. In or

stock or other property, it attended to
in good season, will almost invariably
