Northern IOWa-Severll Citizens Of

The Nashua Post says that several citizens of
Chicksaw comfy, "who went seeking homes in
Nebraska an,autS Asas this spring, have returned

They report water one hundred and fifty feet
under ground, and the crois suffering for want of
rain. Corn is worth $40 per brshcl, and home
stcadcrs not having the means to buy at that price"
About three weeks ago, while waiting for the
train Mt the depot of the Atclison & Nebraska
railroad at White Cloud, Col. QaSs of this city
called onr attention to the Chfckasaw Citizens
mentioned in The foregoing item. The outfit con-
sisted of pair of stag horned oxca, small, and
quite thin in flesh, hitehod to an old wagon which
had been broken down and repaired many times
during the last fifteen or twenty years. that it
was as far from being the same wagon these cit
iZens grandfather had brought from North Car
olina, as the Hoosier's gun lacked of leing the
same gun his grandfather carried in the revolu-
tionary war. An old quilt, much the worse for
wear, was made to serve as a cover for the wagon.
While one OF those citizens walked beside the
team, which he guided with rope tied to the
horn of the near OK, the other citizens lay strca-
ched out IN the wagon on an old bed tick filed
with prairie grass. Three dogs took shelter be-
meath the vehicle, while two old rifles were Sis
pended to the wagon bows above the heads of the
citizens who rode. The faces of the entire outfit
(Chickasaw cetizens, dogs and oxen,) were all
pointed eastward. Chickasaw county being good
enough for them, they made no halt reaching
the river, but Immediately took passage on the
steam ferry, White Cloud. and were transferred
to the Missouri side of the Big Muddy, while those
in waiting at the depot, talked one with another,
all wondering what on earth such people We're
made Tor 1t was n cOnnundrEm one attemp-
ted to answer, as the like is seldom seen in this
meridian The Nashua Post however, has furnish
ell an answer. They were made for Chckasaw
county citizens! Chickasaw county is good enough
for them, and they are good enough for Chickasaw

A RAILWAY TICKET COOP EITHER WAY.-In
the Superior Court in Boston, on the 9th instant
a case of interest to the travelling public was de-
ciletl. In 1863 Mr.. John A. Coleman, of Boston,
attempted to ride from New York to New Haven
on coupon ticket which was rejected by the con-
ductor on the ground that although it was good
from New Haven to New York, it did not pass the
holder over the road in train going in an Oppo-
site direction. NJ Coleman insisted that the
company was compelled to receive the ticket, as
it represented money paid for a passage between
those points, and was put off the train by force,
receiving such injury as to affect his health. He
sued the New York and New Haven Railroad
Company, and recovered. The railroad company
obtained new trial, and was beaten again. On
exception to the rnling of the judge, the defend
ants obtained a third trial, which terminated in
a verdict for Mr. Coleman for 50 200 damage

ALTERATIONS IN BANK CurcKs-A cor,

ALTERATIONS IN BANK CHECKs.-A correspon-
dent in Milwaukee writes that an ingenious
device has been introduced to public notice. which
is intended to prevent alterations of bank cheeks
The process is the simple one of matchmaking
the paper upon which the check is written. The
water-mark, for example, indicates the sum of
500, and no check can he drawn for any amount
in excess, without instant detection; and the
system can he so extended as to cover all but
small fractional sums. Another Invention for a
similar purpose has already been announced here
consisting of little machine to which is attached
an adjustable perforation, for picking into the
paper the precise sum for which the check is
drawn. The alteration of checks has grown into
serious evil, and the work is sometimes so well
done as to make detection extremely difficult, so
that any contrivance to protect banks and busi-
ness men from loss would he welcome. Here are
two which await inspection, and as the subject is
of general interest We gladly call attention to
them.

THE Bellville Telescope says: The contract for

are that it will run to the town of Washington,

for the citizens of Republic county to call meet

such proposition should be made!

plain that the gang Of sharpers and hangers on,

now permitted to go into another swindling OPP
