is little farther than the sIarysville
route, but as 1t isan easier grade in
crossing the Cedass, and will pass

be the route. The Engineers so from

A PETITION is now in circulation,
asking for daily mail service On the
route from Knoxville via Pleasant
vile and Wheeling to Indianola.
This same service We once tried hard
to secure, and failed; and we fear the
present effort will be also unsuccess-
full. But a tri-weekiy service on this
route is no more than the Depart
ment ought forthwith 10 grant; and
If daily service cannot be secured, We
would suggest q strong effort for the
tri-weekly. Petitions forwarded
through either Of our Senators would
doubtless receive prompt attention.

A LIVING MAN WITH A BROKEN
NEcK.-There is q man living near
Oskaloosa, who had his neck broken
twenty years ago. He Is probably the
only man that ever survived such q
disiocation. His name Is d. C. White,
and the Newton Free Press says oil
him:
"He was an active and healthy man
nearly fifty years old when the acct.
dent occurred, and is now sprightly
gentleman, in his seventeen year.
For five years after the accident he
was bed-ridden and could not speak
but gradually his voice came and
sufficient strength to make an effort &c
sit. In time he fully recovered his
speech and was able to sit up and
walk about. The bone of his neck has
never grown together, the head resting
on the broken part. and kind OF
cartilage having formed over the
broken surfaces. He has to refrain
from all labor or exercise when there
is the least danger of losing his bal
ance, or off goes his head. BY keeping
his head perpendicular he manages
very well, can turn 10 to either side
considerably, has kind of hood com.
ing over his forehead and running
down Ills neck and back to q straI
around the waist to keep his head
steady and in place when he leans
forward, and when he wants to lool;
up or throw his head back, supports
his head with his hands. He lives
about two miles from Oskaloosa, has g
comfortable home and surroundings
comes to town often, understands his
business and attends To it. and thinks
it quite likely that he will live to be
an old man yet.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVEN-

The Democratic Nominating Con.
vention last Saturday was the slim.
NEST we ever saw in this or any other
County. Green Il. Clark was chosen
Chairman, and Capt.J.L. Mccormack
Sec'y. When we first went up, a little

twenty-five persons present, and four
of them were Republicans. BY the
Call, there should have been ninety.
four Delegates present, for full
Convention. But nine of the fifteen
Townships Of the County were repre-.
sented.
After the organization was effected
Z. III. Bousquet moved to postpone
the Convention to Thursday, 18th inst.
John Steubenrauch, OF Pella. opposed.
On the vote, there was but one voice
for the postponement, aud the rest
against the motion; SO the Convention
proceeded to nominations.
For Clerk, II. L. Bousquet, present
incumbent, was of course renominated.
j. r. Frederick, OF Knoxville, was
nominated for Recorder; and Messrs.

THE RED RoCK.-The remarkable
ledge Of red rock, which gives name
to one of our Townships, has been an
object of curiosity ever since the coun-
try was first settled. We had an OPP
portunity Of going to see it the other
day, for the first time. IT IL about
half mile up the river from the town
of Red Rock, and on the same side of
the stream. The rock cannot be de-
scribed as ''grapd" in any way, for it
isn't high enough; but it certainly
makes pleasing bit of scenery. The
Dcs Moines river has here, in its ages
Of ceaseless flowing, wasted away q
portion Of the bluff that at this point
forms its bank, and thus exposed
and cut away from the red
sandstone Of which the bluff is
here composed. We should guess the
height of the ledge at from go to so
feet from the level of the river. The
stone is very coarse and friable, easily
cut with knife. The prevailing col
or is red Of various shades, mingled
with yellow in places. The entire
bluffs covered with trees. In the
"good old days" when steamboats,
used to run on the Des Moines, 1t
must have been n,easant to view this
! point from the deck Of one. The
'.legend" Of the place Is, that "once
upon time" ages ago, when all the
forest was in its primeval simplicity,
when the birds sang ceaselessly their
joyous songs and the river murmured
untroubled DER its rocky bed, &C., a
man from Red Rock lit his pipe and
went out there to dig stone, and dug
it. That's all.
On the South side Of the river, OF
rather on little bayou that cuts out
from it, there is another ledge Of the
red rock, not quite SO high. We have
not seen this yet, but understand it t.
be similar to the rock Oh the north
side. BY the way, We would suggest
to friend Huiskamp Of Pella, and any
other amateur artists there may be In
the County, that very pleasing sketch
might be taken Of the rock on the
north side, from point on the south
side of the river opposite.
