A New Enterprise.

We were shown, yesterday, a specimen Of
very superior iron, made in Garter county,
Tenn, in furnace which has been lying idle
since the war. 1t is now in the hands of our
enterprising fello~-citizens Clark Quaife & Co
The furnace produces four ton of iron per day,
which is said to be of the yer, bert quality for
casting car wheels, and will give our foundries
new advantages inthai kind of work This is the
same furnace FROM which shepherd & Maxwell
obtained their iron for eur whc,ts before the
war. Their wheels were pronounced by all
railroad men as superior to amy other made
The iron is certainly very superior for such
uses and commands high prices and has "A ready
sale in New York. We wish our friends great
success IN ,helr gooa work lhey not only pen en-
state.

suIc.pE AT CLINTON.


Mrs Amy Dsgley wife Of Silss Dagley, a
hotel keeper at Clinton, committed suicide, by
hanging herselfto her loom, on Friday after
noon last When found, her knees we're almost
touching the floor, and apparently slight effort
at any time before death would have raised her
10 her feet, and saved her life.
Mira. Dagley was an estimable woman, but
spme 6fteen years ago was visited with insanity,
from which she for while recovered; but OF
late the disease had returned, and remained
fastened upon her until it caused her death un-
der the above mournful circumstances.

he feels the thirst for stimulants coming on, he
withdraws, gets on spree, and then gets sober

SON will bring the iron horse from
Cedar Falls to Mason City. This
will complete the upper end OF the
line lying incomplete through Tama
county. 1t will become the interest
Of more that one railroad company
to complete this line. But already
the President and Directors OF tie
Illinois Central Railroad begin to
plan TOR its completion. It Is the
natural branch TO grow ont from
Grilnell northward. 1t must con.e
rs surely as limb and leaf to the sap
ling oak. 1t will come in. It's time.
Thus are competing railroads helping
to make necessary and speedy the
completion of a railroad from Grim
nell TO Cedar Falls. Let no man
despair OF his hope, or faltcr in his
faith, in final justice to the claims OF
Tama county. Deferred rewards do
always grow in value. The future is
always better than the hopes OF the
present. We need only to grow
more vigorous the life of head, heart
and hard, that Toledo inh.rits from
Eastern homes. and the gathered
might vii! be able to improve the
coming advantages for town and in

Valley. They have. procured the
right-of-way from buckingham west,
and will elect between the starting
points named, basing their decision
on the liberality Of the people on the
routes. If the voters Of Perry nni
Clark townships will again permit
themselves to be deceived by the
cunningly concocted stories Of the
tools of lie Midland, they may wake
np and find tat Laporte has carried
of the prize, ana for all time they
can cart their produce from six to
ten miles tn station. Razor says
the Midland intends 10 run another
set Of engineers within twenty days
over the line projected. Clearly, this
will be renewal Of the old SUCCESS
full game. What object he, the
Northwestern Company 10 construct
road across Iowa, twenty miles
north of the one the company now
operates ? Do they not now get half
the freight Of tie country lying be
tween their road, ard the Dubuque
g. Sioux City road, now leased to the
Illinois Central ? Their object is
palpable-it is simply to prevent any
competing road being built interme
diatc. Whenever the Burlington,
Cedar Rapids & Minnesota Company
make a move, they make counter
demonstration for deception.
AS to the Sabula & Ackley pro-
ject, no one knows its destination,
except Mr.. Mitchell, and it is very
doubtil.. ;f he has a matured plan.
The capitalists of Iowa City, nsSa

to stretch his iron rails southwest

the view Of an ultimate extension to

is an inviting field, much more SO,
for the present, at least, than the vas:
undeveloped prairles Of Grundy,
Franklin, Wright, Humboldt, and
O'Brien counties, in this State,
through which it is projected.
Then it behooves the. people Of
Northern Tama to take certainty
rather than wait for the possible COM
ing of some road, whose nearest fin
ished terminus is one hundred miles
to the west. We want railroad as
speedily as possible, that the valley

good music the Institute might have
been pronounced the most successful

although this want was seriously iclt,
1t did not prevent the general effects

The addition OF good music, such as,

chief power in pushing forward this
road. Thus it is, t:las the force OF

Iowa Central Railroad will gather
unto itself trade and traffic not SUR

trade for tropics, where Spring AMI

During some remarks to the Teach

County superintendent sad that he
had been in schools in this county
where the blackboard showed evil
dencc OF having been not used for
several weeks. II seems strange to
us that any teacher eau pretend TO
teach a school and neglect the use OF
this most important auxiliary. The
blackboard is OF as much importance
as text books, if not of moro impor-
lance. In some cases it is indispnt.
ably Of more importance All good
teachers, all successful teachers, are
now convinced OF this fact There
is no wonder that teachers who pay
