Lyle as destined at no distant day to rank
among the first places of Mower county
as 4 business emporium. To-day it is
one of the best wheat markets in the
country. 1t is we'll supplied with first
class stores, and manufacturing shops.
Its situation, one half mile from the State
line between Iowa and Minnesota, and
two and a half miles from the Cedar
river, is a pleasant one.
IMPROVEMENTS.
There has been two dwelling houses,
one school house, one warehouse, and one
harness shop built in Lyle this season,
besides much repairing, painting, etc.
Mr.. Daniel Amcs has fine residence
under completion on the west side of the
river.
Mr.. Halstcd has erected new house
on his farm, one mile and a half west of
Lyle. -.
There arc some reckless fellows who
drive fast over the new bridge across the
Cedar, which is very injurious TO the
structure. Will not some of our town
officers place a notice on the bridge ma-
king it a fine to drive: faster than a walk
over the bridge? Sky ROCKET.

THE Lecture last Sabbath evening, by
Rev. II. Kctcham, was heard by a large
audience, and was in many respects a
fine production, giving evidence Of extcn-
sivc reading, close thought, and consider
able observation. Radicalism was appar-
cnt ia every sentence, and Indignation at
the shams of society found repeated OK
preston. A lcnient criticism Of the lee.
turc ncccssitates the rcmark, that in the
discussion Of central principles, it is sell
dom necessary to descend to the mention
Of particulars, and never to tho compari-
son Of individuals, by illusions so per
sonal as to Indicate Enthusiastically to
whom reference is made; and further,
that in extolling the beauties of nature in
general, no occasion exists for hcightcn,
ing the color Of the description by con.
trasting with it, unfavorably, the precise
locality Of ones residence, even though
it may not seem to possess many attac
tons. We like personal mention, and
dircctncss of. statement, when these are
essential to tho conservation of the high
est good; but, at other times, thcir ten
tcncy is to bcgct feeling of sclfconse
quence, on tho one hand, and of antagon
ism on the other, both Of which arc incom
patible with the idea Of a healthy moral
growth.

LAST Saturday the heat was most in
*ense,-rcaching 107 degrees in the shade
1t this place. Dispatches from different
points in the State, and in Wisconsin,
denote an equally high temperature.
About G. o'clock in the evening a strong
gale of wind passed over here, doing no
damage We believe, but cooling the air
and refreshing all things animate.

About three months ago, or such a
matter, Mr.. Meder called upon the edi-
tor of the APPEAL, and, after some back
ing and filling. proposed to him to make
an arrangement whereby he, Meder.
should have, his, the APPEAL editors
support for the office of State Printer OF
the Republican ticket; hs, Meder, offer
ing as an inGucensn to the said APPEAL
editor, that he would make is right
with him. meaning that he woald give
him share in the emCluments of the
said State Printers office. The editor
in question replied. somewhst warmly,
to Captain Meder. that he, Medsr,
ought to be ashamed to make such
proposition; that he, Meder, was man
well-todo in the world, with a paying
business Of his own and family of
grown up children who were all well
provided for; tina: the APPEAL establish
nent had large amount of printing
material, part of which was unpaid for:
and thai the publishers of this paper
were poor and struggling to get out Of
debt. while on the other hand, he,
Aedsr. was a comparatively rich man
who did not own as much as quad"
nor any other part or thing pertaining
to printing Office. To be frank about
the matter, this plain way Of stating the |
case did shame the old gentleman; and
he left our Office locking not a little !
