The site of the town is pleasantly situa-

seen, extending almost as far as the eye
will reach in every direction, some Of the
finest farming lands to be found in the
State of Iowa. The town already pos
sesses q fine church building, erected sew
eral years ago, before the railroad or town
was thought Of and eight or ten substan.
tial and neat looking farm.houses are
standing almost within stones throw
of the depot grounds. Independence
lies eight miles north, and the new In
sane Asylum at that place is plainly visi'
BILE. Quasqueton is situated some five
miles east. Messrs. Pomeroy & Prentiss,
our enterprising lumber dealers, are
building an Office, and will shortly have
good stock of lumber in the new town.
Altogether, We regard the future pros
poets of Rowley as being very flattering,
and we should not be surprised to see a
town of no small importance spring up
within few years

Loss OF A HAND.-Mr G. NJ. Durham,
agent of the Illinois Central railroad at
this city, was the victim of serious and
painful accident about 8 o'clock Wednes-
day morning, which resulted in the loss
of his right hand. The circumstances
attending the accident are as follows:
Mr.. Durham had sent two of the hands
about the depot up the track, to load
car, with orders that when loaded 1t
should be rolled down in front of the de-
pot, there to be attached to two other cars
in waiting. These latter cars were not
coupled, so Mr. Durham proceeded him
self to push them apart in order to insert
the link. In the meantime the hands
had loaded the other car and started it
down the track, entirely unconscious Of
what Mr.. Durham was doing. The cars
came together when Mr.. Durham's hand
was between the bumpers, crushing
that member into shapeless mass of
flesh and bones, some of the latter pro-
truding from the surface. The physicians
Immediately upon examination declared
amputation imperative. News of the &C
cident having been telegraphed to Du-
buque, the railroad company Immediately
offered to send its surgeon, DR.. Staples,
in special train. Accordingly DR.. Sta
pies arrived at P. NJ, and Immediately
proceeded tc amputate Mr.. Durham's
hand at the wrist joint, the patient being
under the influence Of chloroform. The
nerve displayed throughout the whole
terrible affair by Mr.. Durham was admit
rable. BY reason of his many excellent
social qualities, Durham is favorite with
all classes of people, and the symp athy
with him in his fearful mutilation is uni
vcrsal among all who knew him.
