WIN. Simpson, the well-known
STOCK raiser, shipped, on Tuesday last,
TO the Chicago market, the finest drove
OF fat cattle we have yet seen. Among

The movement for the consolidation
Of the cities Of New York and Brook
lyn is progressing favorably. So far,
the work has been confined to residents
Of Brooklyn, but the New Workers are
beginning to take an active interest,
the most violent opponents being the
small politicians. 1t is reported that
memorial to the Legislature was
prepared last Saturday which requests
that paid commission, consisting of
citizens of New York and Brooklyn,
be appointed, and that this commits

cities shall be proposed on just condi-

Thursday morning, Feb'y Goth, the
Iowa Legislature adjourned after q
session Of thirty-six days-only six
more than the prescribed time-in
which very much hard and important
work was accomplished. In consider
alton of the unexpected business
brought up by the several investiga-
tione, the session was certainly made
as short as could be expected. The
consideration OF the Code was COM
pleted and the result ordered printed.
Changes Of more or less Importance
were made throughout. synopsis Of
which will be published hereafter.
The Dispatches say that 1.-THE House
reluctantly receded from its railroad
tariff amendments. This leaves the
Railroad bill practically withou. any
tariff regulations except on passengers,
the charges for which OH roads whose
gross earnings exceed 81 900 per mile
shall be 81 cents per mile. The Joint
resolution authorizing the Governor
to expend . sum, not exceeding 81 900
to ascertain to the cost Of railroad and
ocean freights, together with such
other facts rs may tend TO throw light
upon the question OF transportation,
with view of future legislation upon
the subject, was adopted"
