EOEtOrAaA EXCUESlOus
The Iowa Press Association, COM
posed of editors and publishers OF
Iowa Journals, met in Annual Con-
vention at Iowa City last month, and
while in session, received an invita-
tion from the North Missouri Rail
road to take an Excursion over their
Road, upon the occasion Of its COM
pletion to Ottumwn. This invita-
tion was accepted by the Association,
for the fraternity Of the State. Tues
day, July 26, was fixed as the day
for assembling at Ottumwa. Allthe
Railroads in this State, we believe,
were kindly made free to the men,
bers of the Press going to Ottumwa,
and returning home from Council
Bluffs.
On the morning Of Tuesday Of last
week, at AZ o'clock, we, the Junior
proprietor of the Voter, in company
with our neighbor Mccormick, Of
the Democrat, found ourselves behind
one of Huffman's fast teams on our
way to Pella, where, at 8 o'clock, we
DOasded q. special EAcursion, TRAIN
from Grand Junction. The Ioconl
tive was fine one, and was very
nicely ornamented for the occasion,
with flags, ribbons, wreaths, appro.
pirate notices, &C., and seemed
proud Of its mission. We found on
board large number Of excursion
lists from the western and northwest
ern portion Of the State, including
our esteemed neighbors Of Newton,
Monroe, Prairie City, Indianola and
Pella. The company comprised also
about forty ladies; and the excellent
Marshalltown Silver Coriiet Band
gave us a pleasant foretaste Of what
was before us in the way Of Music.
At Oskaloosa and Eddyyille we
were joined by others, ladies and
gentlemen, and arrived at Ottpmwa
about ii O'Clock. Here we were met
by citizens and q Committee, and
escorted to the hotels and private
residences for entertainment, It was
our good fortune to enjoy the hospi-
tality of the Ballingall House, and it
is safe to say that Peter knows how
to keep a hotel as well as any man
in the West, and does It in hand
some style.
After Dinner all had opportunity
to visit different parts of the city,
and see its public buildings, bridges,
many fine residences, public works,
&c. In addition to the splendid
bridges of the North Missouri and
b. & M. r. r., Howe Truss iron
bridge il being built with private
capital, by Ave enterprising citizens
OF the place, at an estimated cost Of
$4,000. 1t is to have two wagon
ways, and two foot-ways, and ~ to
be done within two months. or
active, public-spirited, enterprislng
men We know no better models than
the men who, upon wild, unprom-
ising foundation, have within few
years built city, Of which every
Iowan should he prcud-Ottumwa.
The Association met ut 4 r. NJ. for
the transaction Of business for the
Excursion. a
At 6 the Fire Companies were out
with their engines, and made cred
liable display; and then q formal
reception was given by Mayor Lit
Teton, speaking from the balcony Of
the Baliingall House. Hon. John
p. Irish responded In an appropriate
speech in behalf Of the party. Adj
j0urning to Taylor & Blake's Hall, q
rich banquet was enjoyed, followed
by toasts and responses, which con-
tinued until the "wee sma' hours"
when, wearied with seastiDg, talking
and hearing, citizens and guests
retired.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

To the Martyrs Of Liver Complaint.
Among the wonderful medical properties
which have rendered Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers pre-eminent among the Misunderstanding
preparations of the age. its anti-bilicus virtues
are not the least remarkable. No words can
dojustice to its marvellous effect upon the dis
eased liver. Perhaps the simple words Of a
conyalescent sufferer. who describes IT as
"goins right to the spot" tell the story as
clearly as may be. 1t does go right to the spot.
1t operates directly upon the disordered organ,
and'whether unduly active or in state of
paralysis, restores ii TO a condition Of health.
The sickness at the stomach. pain between the
shoulders and in the right side, yellow suffu-
sion of the skin. costiveness, drowsiness and
languor. dimness of sight, collie, palpitation of
the heart, dry cough, low fever. and other
symptoms which indicate the various phases
of Acute and Chronic Liver Complaint. are
one and all promptly relieved. and finally re-
moved, by the action Of this famous prepara-
tion, which ia is at once the best Of corectives,
the gentlest and most genial of aperients, an
infallible regulator, and a powerful restora-
tive. Persons of bilious habit, who use the
Bitters as protective medicine, will never
suffer the pains and penalties of Liver disease
or Bilious Remittent Fever. cod

Little Rock and Fort Smith Rail-
road.

This road is practically an extension
of the Memphis and Little Rock railroad,
although in different hands Its compile
ton will open up an immense trade TO
Memphis which has heretofore been ne
elected or permitted to go to St. Louis
or New Orleans. A correspondent of
the Little Rock Gazette thus sets forth
the prospects of the road:
Having just passed over the line of
this road as far as Ozark, beg space to
say something Of it, 1t is graded az far
as Piney Creek, the boundary between
Pope and johnson counties; and nothing
but the iron is now wanting 10 have the
road in active operation ninety miles
from Little Rock. Much work is done
beyond Piney, but the location through
johnson county is not yet definitely
fixed, the engineers being now engaged
in Surveying line by GAINESVILLE, the
county seat, which is four miles from the
Arkansas river Spadra is little village
on the river, and quite an excitement
has sprung up between the two places
about the location Of the road. Clarks-
vile has subscribed 100000 to it; the
most liberal subscription Of any town or
county in the State, considering her
wealth Of less than 100000, and her
population Of 1900 souls. But her peo-
pie are unit on this question, and say
that the road will make their wealth two
millions and their population FIVE thou
sand in five years. They also claim that
on that line are inexhaustible mines of
superior coal, which, OF itself, will give
the road a good trade. You can readily
estimate the Importance Of these mines
TO Little Rock and her manufacturing
interests.
Should GAINESVILLE win, rather than
Spadra, Ozark may be left out in the
cold, whose citizens have been content
ing themselves with the idea that their
town is just in the way" This is the

BREAD CAsr UPON THE WATERS. =
If the Great Providence has not literally
cast bread upon the waters, He has
planted the elements of wholesome nour-
ishment on the rocks, in the shape OF
Sea Moss, from which the SEA Moss
FAnrgE is made. This new article has
everywhere won golden opinions from
all sorts of people" and the housekeep-
ers Of the land generally regard it in the
double light of a staple necessary and a
delicious luxury; for while its use lessons
the expense of living, the exquisite dishes
prepared from it cannot be obtained even
at an extravagant cost, from any other
source. Scientific committees, hotel
keepers, professional cooks, ladies who
superintend their own kitchens, physi-
clans, nurses. dyspeptics and invalids OF
every class bear witness Of these facts.
To this mass of Endorsements we I'M
hesitatingly add our own; and without
fear of contradiction say that the blanc
mango, buildings custards, etc., are the
most delicious we have ever tasted.
