MAY BE LocAL.-The Davenport

the Pennsylvania Railway, has taken
under Its protecting wing that other
immense corporation known as the
Union Pacifc-the principal officers
I'm the former having taken the front
seats in the latter, with Hon. Thomas
A. Scott as President. This arrange
ment gives the Pennsylvania Railway
a through line from ocean to ocean
with the exception of through the
state Of Iowa. This gap will probably
be filled during the present summer.
It already has line through to Keo-
kuk, aud by the middle of May will
have another line completed to this
point. 1t is said that the South Line
Road from Keokuk to Nebraska City
will be built this year by the Pennsyl-
vania party. From Nebraska City it
controls a line to Lincoln, and thence
OH to the u. p, west of Omaha, thus
'rerfecting their line In that direction.
II Is possible that another connection
will be sought out by this route from

A. X. & d. RAILRoAD.-Hon. J. B
Grinnell was here last Friday, to at
tend the meeting Of Stockholders o.
the Railroad Company. Business fol
the Road has been put through some
what within the last week. Contracts
have been let for the grading Of the
10th to 18th miles outward from Abba,
inclusive, to some four or five different
parties: the work to be done in from
90 to 90 days; and Mr.. John McCarty
has the contract for the grading Of the
balance of two miles eastward from
the depot ground in Knoxville, being
an extension of his former contract.
There yet remains, we believe, about
IL miles of the line between here and
Abba not yet let, on which the En-
gineers are now at work making 1t
ready; and as fast as they can get it
ready it will be let-probably by the
last of next week
WI. INV wv t'So WI
hand and delivered, and the iron
ready, to lay the track up to cur south
County line; and, as we understand it,
the cars are to he running to that
point by the lst Of June. And Mr..
Grinnell still adheres to, and proposes
to carry out, his resolution to have
the cars running to Knoxville by the
1st of September. People may pay as
much or as little attention as they
please to the idle rumOrs which have
been so thickly set afloat in regard to
this Road; but for ourselves we can
only repeat that we expect the Road
to be built according to contract, or
sooner--just as we have always eX-
pected since the contract was signed.
And it is indeed pleasant to believe
that in little over five months more
the welcome whistle Of the locomotive
will waken the slumbering echoes in
Knoxville. We shall almost count
the days till then.

Well, now cover up all of the right
end of the note, that comes after the
word "or" in the first line, and then
read what there is left.
This nice little puzzle, says the Du-
buque Times, is "a copy of the patent
right note which has been extensively
used i'm Northern Iowa to swindle
farmers and others. We will suppose
A. Stone to be agent for a seeding ma
chine, and John Smith to be an hon
est farmer, whom A. Stone induces to
act as his agent. Good terms are Of
fered, the farmer being offered all
profit on the seeding machines, except
that after he has sold $3.50 worth of
the seeders, he is to remit ten dollars
to the principal agent. Then note
similar to the above is produced, and
signed by the unsuspecting farm
er. On its face, this purports to be a
common contract note, only condi-
tionally payable, and which no third
party would ever purchase. But when
the swindler gets the note safe in his
own hands, he cuts it apart at the va
cant space that will be seen running
perpendicularly through the document
just after the word ''or," whereby the
left end of IL becomes note of hand,
which the rascal sells at whatever
price he can get, and leaves the swim
died farmer and the innocent purchas-
err of the note to settle the matter as
best they can"

WE VISITED OTLEY on Tuesday
evening, and found the little town
perfectly alive with business. Rhoads
had shipped five cars on that day, and
was still up to his eyes in hard work.
New buildings are being completed,
new stocks Of goods purchased, and
scription for their new Baptist Church
building has now reached over twenty
seven hundred dollars, beside Mr..
Longs splendid gift of land Monroe
Record, 18th.
r Same paper reports that the Pro-
tracted Meeting at Bennington closed
with 50 accessions to the NJ. T.. Church.
And in another place it says:
1--WE shall not be greatly surprised
if the cars do not reach Knoxville from
the north before they get in from
Abba"
(which the same" perhaps Bro.
Clark might we'll "rise to explain"
somewhat.
Moreover, the Record tells Of the
elopement of Mrs. V. Leach from
Monroe on Tuesday night of last week.
Mrs. L. leaves her husband and two
children behind. She is handsome
woman, and has been much talked
about. She has gone East somewhere.
Further particulars not reported.
And furthermore the same paper
deposes and says that the great Jefferis
Lottery at Council Bluffs sold about
100 tickets in Monroe, at ST each. A
of the Monroe ticket-holders agreed to
divide profits equally among them
selves. Well, they got just ninety
cents to divide. Big thing!

FROM THE MINER of last Thursday
we gather the following:

we gamer TIE IOllOWIng:
We understand the citizens OF Ham
ilton and vicinity have commenced Ia
king up their fruit trees along the
grade Of the A. X. & d. X. r.. Also
that there is a considerable force at
work on the grade near there.
During the month Of February
Messrs. Ulsh & Knight have taken out
of their bank twelve hundred and sew
enty-six bushels Of coal. which is a
small months work for them.
Mr.. Fred Rinehart has taken out,
during this winter, six thousand bush
els of coal from the bank of b. F. Lei
by, which he has rented for ten years.
Mr.. Rinehart mined near five thOus-
and bushels of it himself. Pretty
good for one man.
Our friend John Sherman, Jr., who
went from this place to California in
1862, returned on Tuesday of this
week. He married while there, and
has brought his family with him. He
does not know whether he will return
or remain here; we think he will re-
main.
