But here is letter received by Hon,

even more to the point, from Hugh

OFFICE or TnE GssERAL SUPERINTENDENT
CHICAGO Feb. I'd, 1870.
Dear sir--Owing to the low price
of iron and other materials used In
the construction of Railroads, our
company has been led to think some
what of extending their road from
Sigourney to O5kaloosa. aud proba-
bly, to Knoxville--and the objecs
Of this letter Is To inquire how the
people Of your city aud county feel
in regard TO aiding our enterprise.
1 would not again refer to this did
1 not think the present season IA
vOrable one to push the road through;
and I believe If your citizens are
able and disposed to take hold Wig
orousIy with us, the road can be com
pleted within the year. is your
city still bound to the Iowa City
project? Please give me your views
AS to what can be done, and much
oblige.
Yours Truly,
HUGH RIDDLE,
Vice Pres. and Gen. Supt.
TO Hon. M. K. CUTS.
This is rery important matter,
one that Oskaloosa should look care
fully ritter and zealously guard. 1t
liz matter that is of as much impor-
lance to our county as the compile
ton of the first road, for various
reasons. First, it gives us compe-
tition. Second it gives us the best
road in the west, as you can see by
looking at the stock quotations.
Third, it makes the price of property
work and produce better, because
opening up a wider field for sales /;
and competition gives us better
freights. 1t Is the intention to put
the road through to Knoxville next
year, and If done will give the wes-
tern part Of the county better rail
road connections with the county
seat. This has been talked Of among
our citizens some, and the feeling
ascertained, which is Of the very
best, and by corresponding with the
officers Of the road and learning
whar they will require of US, some
thing definite may be obtained.
Let us look at this matter in the
light of our past experience, and not
lose the best road in the west from
inactivity or lukewarmness. BY the
way, the X. q ID. valley road has
Il corps of engineers now out from
Beacon to Knoxville, looking to the
extention of the road from Beacon
west. 1t is an important matter
that should not be overlooked.

Hogs. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. D, ITO
The statement Of the stock and
grain shipped from this point Is as
the freight agents gave them to me;
they do not cover the full amount of
the new crop, as there has been far
more corn shipped in the month Of
January, last, than was shipped the
year previous, it being about $4,000
bushels from the first Of last January
to the present date.
Our town and county will improve
considerably in the spring, as soon as
the building season commences.
The business of our town is as fol-
lows: Three mixed stores dry
goods, groceries and general trade |;
one hardware store, threedrug stores,
one furniture store, harness shop,
two lumber yards, two grain houses,
and as usual a surplus of beer and
billiard saloons. The grain houses
are not sufficient to do the business
required of them. Four Of our lead
ing merchants sold goods last year to
the amount of 100000.
A bonus Of 81 900 will be paid by
the people of the town and vicinity
to any good man who will build an
elevator and steam Touring mill in
town. Both are very much needed,
and would be sure to meet with sue
cess. We also need bank very
badly. A bank with Il capital OF
$4,000 could employ every dollar OF
lis money profltably /; money is
worth 2 per cent. month here in
consequences Of its scarcity.

According to promise, scribble
you few lines that will possibly be
Of some interest to some Of the citi-
gems of old Marion. We have A
thriving village Of some five. or six
hundred inhabitants, situated on the
line of Adair and Guthriecounties, i'm
fair agricultural country, ffty-fve
miles west of Des MOines on the G. X.
LIP. r.. r.. Some of the land is
rather rolling for farming successful
ly, but is well adapted to stock rails
ing. Unlike most rolling land, the
soil il generally good and well water
ed. The country is rapidly improv-
ing with an energetic and live class
OF men. There are still opportunities
for persons seeking locations for
farms to do well, but they are being
rapidly taken up. Raw land is worth
from five to fifteen dollars per acre,
owing to location and quality. I'm
proved farms are worth, owing to
quality and improvements, from
twenty to forty dollars per acre. i
will state for the benefit Of those,
should there be any that wish to
come so this section Of the country,
that in Adair county the herd laW..is
in force, SO that farmers need not
fence their land unless AS a matter Of
choice; man wishing to make a
farm has nothing to do but secure
his land, move on to it and go to
work. There are some large land
owners and extensive farmers here
one farmer told me his corn crop the
last season would be over 1000 BUSH
els. Stock raising is the principal
business in this country, though there
il considerable small grain grown
here.
The following is the amount Of
grain aud stock Of all kinds shipped
from this point in the last twelve

Special Dispatch to the Ee,u York Tinies.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The Criminal Court
has been engaged to-day in trying point raised
against the legality of the impaneling of the
Grand Jury Of the District The trial was on
the plea that one of the grand jurors,
W. d. Wise, was over sixty-iive years
old, which would render him ineligible.
The jury rendered verdict late tonight that
Wise would not be sixty-2ve till next June.
This verdict sustains the validity Of the indict-
ments against the parties connected with the
Treasury robbery, the bogus Edes'
case, the Sugg Fort swindlers,. the Wit
kowski fraudulent claimants, aud the case
of young Fisher. charged with theft Of court
records. The defense is thus beaten in their

Of accused persons will have to stand trial.

Jewish Burial In New York.

On Thursday, the members Of David Jeroslaw,
killed in duel in Now York by his former part
ner, were inferred with jewish rites. The blood
on the hands and face Of the corpse WAS unwash-
ed, and the hair WAS disheveled and matted with
blood. The clothing had been stripped from
the body by the coroner, who could notbe found,
and although the Jewish law required that the
clothing be left undlsturbed the body was
buried in its nude condition. Yes
terday the grave WAS opened and
the clothing put into the coffin. The Malaga
jewish Society conducted the services, and when
all was in readiness, Moses Weiss, acting as rab-
BIZ raped upon the lid, and said; "Davd Jeros-
law, David Jeroslaw ! You must forgive the
man who killed you and all your other enemies.
We will take charge of your effects, and deliver
them to your wife and children" The Society
then followed the hearse to the grave.
