SAD AocIDENT.-Last evening about
9 o'clock, a kerosene lamp exploded at
the residence Of j. w. Norris, serious
~ burning Mrs. Norris, from her feet
to her waist. The following are the
particulars of the accident, as we learn
cd them from Mr.. Norris: They
were in their he'd room, he sitting by a
table reading, while Mrs. N. was pre-
pairing to retire for the night. The
lamp was on the table not over two
feet from Mr.. n, when suddenly it
exploded, scattering the oil all over
the floor, and igniting everything was
in blaze instantly. They Immediate
Iy gave the alarm of fire, and attempts
ed to put it out with water and bed
ding, and while attempting to subdue
the are, Mrs. Ms clothing caught fire,
seriously burning her as mentioned
above. The oil penetrated through
the floor and some of the boards had
to be chopped out with an AK, before
it could be entirely subdued.
DR.. Thrall was Immediately called,
and did everything for Mrs. n, that
science could suggest, and though she
suffered very much through the night
and to-day, still the doctor is confident
that in 4 few weeks, she will be restor-
ed to health. Mrs. Norris has the
sympathy of THE entire community, il,
her misfortune.

RAILROAD CHANGES.

Under the proposed consolidation of
the 3. 4 NJ. Sc c. b. s. Q. Railroads,
which it is understood is TO take place
on the lst of January next, Brooks of
Boston, is to be made President and
Perkins of Burlington Vicc-Prcsident.
Harris of Chicago the present Superin-
tendent OF the G. B. 81 @. is to be Gen
eral superintendent of the CONSOLIDATE
ed line, while Perkins, for so many
years the able Superintendent of the
b. d NJ, will go.to Nebraska anu build
a Railroad from kearney to Denver
He is, for his age, one of the most sue.
cessful Railroad men in the country.
W. b. Strong, will succeed Mr.. Per-
kins, in the Superintendency of the
Iowa branch of the consolidated line
(Which we hope to see labeled with a
short and convenient handle, say, the
Chicago & Missouri River Railroad, y
with its headquarters, as before. at
Burlington.
Mr.. Brown, the present General
Superintendent, at this point, is to re-
main at a post which he has filled for
more than year with conspicuous
ability.
June A. Wentz, who has been identi-
fed with the b. & NJ, at this place, as
local and general agent, from the start,
and who has won host of friends,
and reputation as thorough and
competent Railroad manager, win re-
tire on the LIST proximo, TO accept a
similar position on the st. l.. X. G. g.
N. Railroaid, with headquarters in OF
tumwa. .
W. e. Armstrong, so long and so
| we'll known, as the efficient and accom-
modating, local and general agent OF
the ID. V. Road here, will, on the LIST
proximo, succeed Mr.. Wentz.
And SO, by and large, these changes
cannot but cnure to the benefit of OF
tumwa, in retaining these popular and
well known gentlemen among us, while
the consolidated line, and new deal OF
officers, will only add to the efficiency
of the great thoroughfare, from Chi
cago to Omaha, which had already
come to be considered by the travelling
public as the safest, speedicst and best
managed one in the United States.

Major John S. Wood, present Dcpu-
ty City Marshal, and q lifelong and
consistent Democrat, tells us he cannot
cat crow and he won't. He says that
from now, henceforth and forever, he
is a Republican, and will vote that
ticket, commencing with g. S. Grant,
Major has had, perhaps, more influence
in the Democratic party in our city,
than any other one man, and his infiu-
ence and counsel will be sadly missed
in the Dolly Warden camp. Thus it is,
one by one, the honester portion of the
Democratic party are asserting their
manhood, and deserving the ranks OF
the rotten Democracy.

The Twins Or oreeley's Fright.
Come all We with red noses and very sore
shins,
I'll tell YOU some verses about the two twins !;
The Cincinnati twin and Baltimore brat,
Doth Thought they would wear old Greeley's
white hat.
The hat was too large or their heads were too
email,
There came stiff breeze and down 1t did
fall;
Some ribbon behind did catch on stake,
And like Aarop's rod 1t looked like snake,
Which frightened old Greeley, who did trem-
BILE and holler,
He verify believed the the snake would him
Bwaller;
so very alarmed and deeply d,strest,
He called for Carl schurz and Clay Dean from
the west.
His horror and fears so greatly increased,
He wanted Charles Sumner to come from the
east;
He imagined the snake did open lie mouth,
And called on Jefr Davis to come from the
south.
He was SO much scared, SO fiighty his head,
And like scape goat to the wilderness fed;
Now hear the goat snofting again to the
rack,
Two loads OF great sins, It's yet he must
pack.
You who read the Bible must know who /
mean,)

Accidentally Shot.


Capt. Henry Garfield, of Polk town.
ship, and one of the Supervisors of
this county, was out cunning yester-
day. and when some four miles west
of Blakesburg, he and one Burlington
stopped to get drink of water, and
while partaking of it on their horses,
the bride reins of Buffington's horse
caught ON his gun lock, and discharged
the entire contents of wadding and
shot into the Captains left shoulder,
from the effects of which serious con-
sequences are anticipated.
Our informant, Jacob Siberell, ESQ.,,
says that the wound has been probed,
but up to this morning the contents of
the gun had not been extracted. The
Captain and family will have the sym
pathies of the entire community.
LATER.-Since writing the above we
learn that Drs. Clutch and Russell of
Blakesburg, have amputated Capt.
Canfield's arm at the shoulder, and
that there is but little hope of saving
his life.
P.O. Box RENT.-A great many
people delay from week to week and
from month to month, the payment of
their box rent in the post Office. This
is very annoying in many ways. 1t is
no little trouble to be continually
picking out mail for delivery from
boxes, when one or more blank re-
ceipts are laying awaiting the pleas
ure ofparties to pay their dues. Each
quarters box rent is due on the first
day of the quarter. These box rents
amount to about 5000 each quarter,
and all of it goes to the government.
Many people may suppose that this
fund is prerequisite to the P, M.
This is mistake; he is faithfully re-
quired to account for every farthing
of it to the government. 1t has be-
come necessary to make an imperative
rule, therefore, all boxes or drawers
upon which the dues are not paid
during the present month, will be de-
clared vacant and parties having
them, may hereafter expect to had
their mail In the General
Delivery. After this quarter, this
rule will be followed iu all cases,
when dues are unpaid, at the end of
the first two weeks of any quarter.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

What SDring Brings With II

Regarded nom q medical standpoint
Spring Is not the delectable season de-
scribed by vernal poets. On the contrary,
its yieldsof intermittent feyers, bilious at
tacks, rheumatic pains, disorders of the
stomach, nervous complaints and pulmo-
nary diseases, is almost as large as its crop
of viole;s, snowdrops and cherry blossoms.
The invisible seeds Of innumerable mala.
dies rise with the morning mists, and are
scattered broadcast by the vapors Of night.
Who can resist their mephitic influence ?
Certainly not the weak by nature, or those
whose nervous energies have been over
tasked by mental or physical labor, unless
hey tone and invigorate their systems, and
thus enable them to cope with the I'm.
healthy influences by which they are sur
rounded.
The only medicinal. agent by which this
object can be rapidly and safely accom-
plished Is the great vegetable renovant and
fnyigoiant, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
The operation of this celebrated specific is
four-fold. 1t strengthens the digestive or
the condition of the blood, superinduces a
regular habit Of body, and thereby imparts
such yigor and elasticity to the whole
physical structure as to render II capable Of
resisting the action Of the poisonous MAS
ma, with which the spring atmosphere is
al ways to some extent impregnated. Here,
then, is a ready and certain means of es-
Gaping the disorders prevalent at this sea-
son, or Qf they have already fastened upon
the system) OF conquering them speedily
and thoroughly. The flavor of medicine
Is not OF much consequence, provided 1t
does Its work properly, but Of Hostetters
Bitters 1t may be fairly said that they
effect cure without outraglng the patient
sense Of taste.

The Prince Imperial of France.

A recent edition of the French Steele
says: 1--WE learn by our London letters
that he who was Napoleon III. will
soon aLdicate. The 10th Of March, on
which his son will come Of age, is even
mentioned as the day Of abdication.
The young Louis, whom France could
reproach neither with the war nor Metz
nor Sedan, would become the ostensible
chief Of The Bouapartist party. The
ex.Emperor, disembarrassed from all
personal care, would take up again his
old trade of conspirator, and place his
abilities at the service OF his son."

Price Of Pig Iron.
New York, March Is

NEW DIRK, March 10.
70 The Editor OF The World;
SIR: In your article in to-day's paper,
referring to the price'of pig iron now
and len years ago, you greatly under
state the case against the Pennsylvania
monopolists. You state the price now
to be $40 per ton, whereas by reference
to your own market reports the prices
for Scotch and American iron range
from So Tor the former to $50 for the
latter, according to quality. Nor is this
all. The price year or so ago was
only S35 or less, during the height OF
the great coal miners strike. at which
price the iron-makers were making a
large profit. Now with much cheaper
coal the advanced price gives them a
clear extra profit Of about $l5 per ton.
This advance In price is owing to the
greatly increased demand and consump-
ton in all the merkets OF the world
since the French and German war
closed, and is not likely to fall of, and
proves conclusively that the iron
makers of this country, without protec-
tive duty at all, have before them the
prospect of potentially Of wealth
beyond the utmost dreams OF avarice.
Yours respectfully,
A FREE TRADER.
