 The democrats worked hard to have new election in Iowa in districts where three can- dilates had been in the field and the republi- cans failed of clear majority over all, but they found the latter fully prepared for them, and abandoned the project at the last moment. Polls were opened in several places, but in nearly every instance they were beaten, leav- ing clear majority for the candidates elected in Oct. Price, of Davenport, is one of them, and probably is the strongest man in our dele gation, now in Congress.

The Congregational Society have built a Chapel on the west end of the church, which contains parlor and conference room, so con- structed that the two can easily be made one, There are doors leading into the main audience room. It is neatly furnished and heated by a Boyinton furnace in the basement. The ded- ocation services were held last Thursday.
 Business of all kinds is brisk here now. The furnace, malleable iron works, and two dstilleries are in full blast.
