THE American Express Company has
reduced it's rates of freight over the
Iowa Division of the Illinois Central,
Cedar Valley branch and Dubuque
Southwestern roads about 40 per cent.
The rate from Dubuque to this city
which before was ST .25 is now only 70
cents, reduction which will be appre-
ciated by the business public. This
concession seems to have been entirely
voluntary, and goes against the theory
that corporations have no souls.

Unearth the Dead Beats.

INDEPENDENCE, Jany 81, 1878.
To the Editor or the Bulletin.
1t would hardly be suspected that in
our quiet city, and especially among the
patrons of an institution supported for
the purpose of disseminating knowledge
and the popular ideas Of refinement and
culture which exist at the present day,
and are supposed to be generally prac-
ticed by large number of the members
of this community, that such acts of
vandalism and ingratitude could be per-
petrated as have been committed with
in the last few months in our Free Pub
lie Library.
The institution is supported by the
well-meaning and intelligent part of the
community, and on the most economical
principles. Its board of directors re-
ceive no pay, and very much work is
done by persons outside, whose names
are now particularly identified with it..
Within the past few months complaints
have been made by the librarian of the
mutilation of books and periodicals and
even of the theft of the same from the
Library. This evening-the 31st-thc
Galdry has been taken away by some
of these thieves. The Library cannot
afford to keep watchmen to lie in wait
for these petty thieves; the amount of
property exposed is not sufficient. But
we do ask the assistance of every person
who has spark of good breeding or
honor about them to bring these offend
ers to justice. We also ask that the
press of the city take the matter in hand
and call the attention of the public to
the fact. Very Respectfully,
JOHN j. NEY. Secy.

THE Cedar Falls Gazette has let loose
upon that community the tantalizlng
problem Of the hunter and the squirrel,
the same over which our mathematical
athletes wrestled so vigorously a few
winters ago, expanding acres of paper
and rivers of ink, and all to no purpose,
except to establish each of the warning
factions in the soundness of its origi-
nal theory If our memory serves us
the contest became so warm that the
question was submitted to two eastern
professors of Yale and the other
of Amherst, whose answers were duly
published in our columns Yet still the
question whether the hunter went
around the squirrel in going around the
tree remained an open and unsolyed
problem in the minds of many In stat
ing such brain-vexing problems, Snyder
ought to bear in mind that.the Insane
HOSPITAL is already full.

FROM more careful examination of
Kett e. Co.'S History of Winnebago
county, ILL.,, we feel assured that this
popular publishing house are engaged in
a praiseworthy enterprise. The variety
of topics embraced, and the thorough
ness with which they go into details, as
shown in their prospectus, as well as the
very fattering manner they are spoken
of by the press and individuals in places
where they have been engaged in similar
work, all go to show conclusively that
that they are striving effectually to give
the people history that will be cred
it to all concerned, and what every coun-
ty needs. Competent men are sent in
to the several townships, and visit the
homes Of the people, thus getting facts
and information, to be obtained thor
oughly in no other way. Let citizens
of Buchanan county be prepared to give
the desired facts when called on. We
bespeak for the agents of K. 4 Co. the
kind Offices of the people and the sub
stantial encouragement that their wor-
thy undertaking so well merits.

FATAL ACCIDENT. - On Wednesday
evening, Jan. 10th, Mr. Jonathan Kersh-
ner, of .Middlefeld township, this coun-
ty, while returning home from Grange
meeting, met with an accident which
finally caused his death. He was walk
ing across plowed ground, about forty
rods from home, and fell and hurt him
self inwardly He walked to the house
alone, in great pain, and fingered unit!
Saturday morning in great distress and
agony. He was ready to 90 to his
Saviour. Calling his family separately
to his bedside, he told them he was GO
ing to leave them, that they must not
weep and mourn for him, as he was rea-
dy to go, and asked them all to meet
him in Heaven. He leaves a wife and
five children to mourn his loss. In life,
he was always trying to make Others
happy, and in his death the community
has lost a good citizen and obligine
neighbor, and his family a loving hus
band and fond parent.
Farewell my wife and children all,
From you father Christ doth call;
Mourn not for me, it is in vain
To call me to your sight again.
