The EPIzooTIc.- equine epidemic,
which bids fair to include within It's
range the entire country has reached our
city, and is doing its work with the cclcr
lty and thoroughness which has charac.
terized it elsewhere. Last Monday one
case was reported, and to day there are
not less than $50 to 200 cases. The
livery horses are all affected, and business
in that line is suspended The truckmen's
horses are in the same condition, ply
sicians visit their patients on foot, and
there is an unwonted absence of noise,
and hustle on the streets The disease as
yet has not developed in malignant form,
and the horses affected are doing well
under rest and judicious treatment. The
malady is not confined to town, many
farmers horses having been attacked
simultaneously Some of the draymen
are preparing to employ oxen in their
business, and it is more than likely that
the heavy traffic will be done in this way
for the next few weeks. Judging from
the symptoms of the disease as yet, how
ever it is not likely to have so long or
so severe run as in the large cities.

In consequence of the great
destruction OF cotton and Wool
en- Goods at the great fire in
Boston, there has already been
II big advance on that class of
goods in ill the Eastern mar
kets. The N. Y. papers of the

of IL 100000 lbs. Of Wool, a
stock of 100000 Suits of
Clothing, and almost the entire
supply of Woolcns and Clothing
for Eastern Canada and the
Northwest, caused All advance
of seven cents per ID. on Wool,
while heavy domestic dealers
have advanced their prices over

THE Chicago Inter Ocean comes to our
table enlarged to ten broad columns to a
page, printed with new type and on a
new eight cylinder press. The rise of
this able and influential Republican jour
nal is something unprecedented in the
history Of metropolitan newspapers. 1t
has been established hut eight months,
yet in that time it has acquired stand
ing and influence not second to that of
any newspaper in Chicago. In every
one of its departments it fulfills the re-
Quircments of Il first class newspaper, and
is already successful rival to the long
established Tribune AS Republican
paper it especially commends itself to the
support of this party in the Northwest.
In soundness and ability it is the leading
Republican organ, while in the discussion
of topics of general interest, in the dc.
partment of news, correspondence, the
markets, &C., it will compare favOrably
with the Oldest and ablest papers in the
country. We earnestly commend the
Inter- Ocean to those of our readers who
are making up their lists of papers for
the coming year.

HUGE-No:hing less are those blocks
Of granite which have been passing our
Office this week in the direction of the
depot. They are split out of the i'm
mense boulders which line the valley Of
the Wapsic in this vicinity, loaded on
heavy trucks and with six horses tran
sportcd to the railroad, there to be shipped
to their destination. the new capitol at
Dcs Moines, in fulfillmcnt of the contract
Of our townsman David Armstrong. We
notice among these some fully 10 or IL
feet long and three feet square. A few
years since the rocks from whence these
blocks are hewn were regarded as nuisan-
ces, the more intolerable as they were so
difficult to abate. They have been dis
covered however to possess great value
as the most durable building stone in
Iowa, affording Invaluable material for
the foundations of our State buildings
and others destined to endure for genera
tions. Their presence is accordingly
regarded with more federation. They are
flintier than the eternal hills and their
manipulation ttibuiation to the flesh;
but Mr.. Armstrong and his gang Of men
have by long experience become adopts at
the business and go about the utilization
of boulders as big as church, in II per
fcctly systematic and scientific manner

THE CONCERT. few of our citi.
zcns were aware until yesterday morning
that concert was in contemplation for
Thanksgiving evening, by the Congrega-
tional choir of Waterloo, for the benefit Of
the Ladies Aid socity, and Congregation
nj organ fund Of this city. In conse
qucnce Of the inadequate notice and the
bitter cold of the evening, the audience
was not so large as the merit Of the per
formancc deserved, though respectable in
numbers and culture. The concert was
under the direction of T. w. Burnham,
an accomplished musician and consider
ing that it was the performance Of now
professional singers the entertainment
was admirable Some of the voices were
very fine, notably those Of Mesdames
Burnham, Belden and Gilbert among the
ladies and Messrs Hewitt, Balliett, and
Gilbert, among 1.-THE gentleman. The
singing evinced careful and intelligent
executed with precision and expression
very pleasing. Barring that the pro-
gramme lacked somewhat in variety, the
concert was success and was heartily
enjoyed by the audience. For their
kindness in lending their valuable aid to
the Objects specified, our Waterloo friends
are entitled to the warm thanks of the
hencficiarics, aside from the pleasure at
forded by their excellent music.

ceived from Mr. Elwell, the following
statement Of receipts and expenditures,
