The Waterloo Reporter, one OF
the most welcome and closely scan
ed of our exchanges, comes to our ia
bic this week, clad in bran new
spring suit, looking as fresh and
dainty as bride. This number,
which marks the beginning of the
eighth year Of the Reporter, is almost
wholly devoted to history of Water
loo and Blackhawk county and their
institutions; undoubtedly involving
an immense amount of labor in its
compilation, and well illustrating the
enterprising stuff OF which the Re
porter force is composed. Matt, ac-
cept our hearty congratulations.

THE BULLETIN is blowing itself
hoarse over the oath of June Conven-
ton. We will simply say that the
call for that Convention is signed by,
three Republicans and two Demo-
Gratis. Conservative.
Unfortunately for the point Of the
above squib, Ham, Irish and Camp
bell are trio of as indurated Bour-
bon Democrats as ever spelled negro
with two g's; Keatley is a political
adventurer, kind of free lance, who
fights for booty, with equal facility
on one side or the other; and Parker
his name is Parker, and he is?
So much for the attempt to make
point on the assumed majority of
former Republicans among the sign
ers of the call for the Democratic
State Convention. The fact would
have no point if it were true. Our
Autobiography friends will probably
notice the significant circumstance
that their late organ studiously ru-
trains from mentioning that party as
Il factor III the next contest in Iowa.
It was none but "Democrats" and
Republicans" aNho signed the call.

one livery stable, one egg-packing house,
one large ice-house, one gas works, ono
wagon mandatory, and fourteen dwell
ings and additions built .since the great
fire one year ago, the aggregate cost Of
which is al follows:
In the burnt district Of 1873. Is 5000
1874. 132,7lJ
Other improvements o3,5OO
Grand Total. $l94.SI5
One of the institutions in which
our people take especial pride is the
FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY. 1t went
down in the general ruin Of the fire,
nothing being saved except the books
out in the hands Of patrons. Its re-
cuperation has kept pace with the up
building of our city. 1t is now
located in spacious and elegant rooms,
embracing a mineral and geological
cabinet, reading and library rooms.
The latter contains in the aggregate
600 volumes, to which 400 additional
volumes will be added in Il few days,
the order having gone forward.
A source OF considerable pride to
our citizens, also, is the fact that all
that has been accomplished within
the past twelve month has been with
out foreign aid in the way of dona-
tons. The only exceptions to this
rule were the drawbacks allowed by
the railroads OH building material
during few months, and some in
considerable gifts of money to special
objects.
1t is not within the range OF posi-
bility that Il calamity SO sweeping as
that which bcfell our city one year
ago would not cause considerable de-
rangement of business. Yet the
promptness and energy with which
our dealers provided the means of
retaining the trade prevented serious
consequences. Our burned-out mcr-
chants, almost without exception, are
as firmly Oh their feet as before, their
credit rs good, and their facilities
greater than before the fire for doing
Il large and prosperous business. A
.jobbing trade with the country in
this immediate vicinity has sprung
up, and is becoming an important
branch of our trade. Our retail
dealers generally agree that the past
year has been good one for bust
ness; and the prospects for the future
are very tlattering. The following
comparative statement of the amount
of freight received ut this point by
the Illinois Central Railroad during
the years ending June LIST, 1874 and
1875, furnished us by the gentleman
ly agent, Mr.. Durham, will give some
idea OF the business Of the past year:
Total number pounds Freight of all kinds
received from June LIST, 1874, to June
LIST, 1875. 30 73l $50
From June LIST 1873, to June LIST, 1873 1887 ,9Is
EXCESS !,lS3.ySy
Included in the above receipts from June
"A to June '15 there OF merchan-
1t will be seen that the excess of |
receipts last year over that preceding
is nearly 60 per cent. The lumber
brought last year via the Central
road will not account for this differ
ence, and good portion of it may
go to the account of regular trade.
We hoped to have similar state
ment of the freight received by the
Il. G.. X. Il NJ. Railroad within the
past year, for this issue. We sent to

The fastidious New York Nation
adopted an eflectual, though perhaps cruel,
method of setting at rest forever the state
ment that Mr.. p. T. Barnum had become
one of its proprietors. This it did by
publishing an editorial article ridiculing
the worthy Snowman and the manner of
his election to the Mayoralty of Norwich.
The New York Tribune might do some
thing OF the kind to Mr.. Jay Gould-if it
were SO disposed. Chicago Tribune.

THE Waterloo Courier, of this
week, has well considered article
upon the Reform School, in which
it expresses the opinion that "Prof.
McCarthy's usefulness as Superinten-
dent of the Reform School at Eldora
has departed. With special stress
upon the words sat Eldora," we en-
tirely agree with our contemporary,
and we think that in that bear gar
den of Iowa, any Superintendent
usefulness would very soon come to
an end. The one important thing
required for the Reform School, in
our estimation, is it's removal from
Eldora.

CEDAR RAPIDS was visited on We'd
nesday of this week, by confagra-
ton of unusual dimensions and de-
structiveness. The location was the
new Post Office building, q large and
imposing structure just finished,
which was partially destroyed, to-
gether with four stores adjoining.
Tho total loss is set at $4,000. The
office of the Times was in a portion
of the building and suffered, but to
what extent the dispatch does not
state. Three fremen received bro
ken legs and arms by falling from
ladders

An exchange says, and says truly,
that it will be an inspiring sight to
see the venerable Cassius NJ. Clay
mounting the stump in behalf of the
Democracy Of Kentucky the coming
summer, after his long and faithful
record as an abolitinnist and staunch
Republican. 1t cannot be denied
that when such men as as Cassius NJ.
Clay and Giatz Brown give in their
adhesion to the Democratic party,
there is something encouraging to
look forward to. 1, indicates Il De
mocracy which is worthy its name

Mrs. LINCOLN, widow of the mar

Mrs. LINCOLN, widow Of the mar
tyr President, was last week adjudg-
ed insane by one Of the courts of
Chicago, upon petition of her son
Robert Lincoln. Symptoms of her
mental malady have been apparent
ever since the tragic death of her
husband, of which she was = witness,
though of mild degree until lately.
She attempted suicide after the judy
ment of the court. She has been re-
moved to private asylum at Bata-

A Brave Dog.

large, heavy wagon, which was dragged
along at smart trot by vigorous horse,
was passing lately through the Rue de la
Chapelle, at Paris. An infant of three
years of age, having yentured on the pub
lie road, unconscious of the danger it was
running, was just about to be crushed bo-
meath the wheels of the huge vehicle.
A cry of terror escaped from the by-stand-
ers the fainting mother closed her eyes.
How could she save her child Alasl it
was too late In vain the driver made every
effort to stop his horse.
Quicker than thought, a magnificent New
foundland dog, who was sitting on the pave
ment, darted forth with one immense bound,
snapped up the little being, passed like an
arrow under the wagon, between the four
wheels, and deposited the poor child safe and
sound upon the opposite pavement.
That evening the noble deliyerer received
numerous caresses and little presents, which
the inhabitants Of the quarter lavished upon
him. lie ate at least two pounds of sugar
