pect to preseat it to our nnmerou* patron* fat a
few daTg, Romewhat enlarged, and an handsomely
printed aa any of our cotemporaries in or out of
the State. We ahall have a good deal more
room, and present a good deal more reading mat
ter. Increased diligence will be used in every
department. The currcnt new# and daily market
reports will be found in our columns, as well as
btuiineaa, monetary and political intelligence.—
As heretofore the Hawk-eye and Telegraph wiD
contain later intelligence than can reach our sub
scriber* in any other paper. We call attention
of business men in .Southern and Western Iowa,
to our Daily. Unlike others, we are confined by
the businens of our office, and spend no time in
soliciting subscriptions, relying upon the merits
of our paper rather than personal solicitation, to
secure to us an extensive circulation confident
that if we do not so soon realize our expecta
tions in that respect, our business will be more
healthy and reliable when it docs come.
Ogr Wccklt is of Mammoth size, containing
all the reading matter of the doily. Its circu

OUR JOB OFFICE.
During the lagt five months we have by favor
of patrons in this city and in various parts of the
State, executed a comparatively large amount of
Book and Pamphlet printing, to the entire satis
faction, we believe, of those who have employed
us. In addition to the facilities procured in the
early part of the summer, we have lately added
a large amount of type from the best foundries,
both for our paper, and for Book and Job print
ing of every description. We are prepared to
publish Periodicals, and Books, or print Blanks,
Circulars, Cards, Posters, plain or in colors, on
short notice and at fair prices. We have a
ROTARY CARD PRESS
of the best kind. We buy our cards in boards,
at wholesale prices, and can compete, quality of
work and material considered, with Eastern Prin
ters.
We have on the way, which we shall soon
receive.
A POWER PRESS.
For newspaper and Book Printing which will
enable us to execute orders of any size likely to
be received, with reasonable despatch and in a
style entirely satisfactory wc confidently believe.
Comparisons are odious, and we do not in
tend to make any. But this much we may be
allowed to sav that we have such an office as we
are really proud of, and which we invite our
friends to call and examine, after we shall have
had time to arrange it.
We solicit business in our line.

IIoos.—At Chicago, on Saturday, there was a
large supply of dressed hogs on the Market,
weather warm and prices dull. None, however,
were sold for less than $7 1ft hundred, nett. The
Cincinnati Gazette of Friday, says hogs are held
with great firmness at from 25c to 50c above the
views of buyers. Holders of heavy hogs con
tended for $7 and there were no sales below $6
75 for delivcrv this month.
Wise asb Prentick.—Gov. Wise of Virginia,
in a recent letter "got off" the following "hifa
lutin" about Alabama:
"I stand on the shores of my 'Ocean Home,'
and meet Alabama, coming greeting, with arms
and bosom open, with expanded chest and dila
ting nostrils.
To this, Prentice of the Louisville Journal, re
sponds as follows
"We don't believe a word of all this. We arc
sure Alabama is slandered. We regard her as
decent and modest. But if she did rush towards
Gov. Wise in the manner he mentions, with arms
open, and bosom bare, and expanding chest, and
dilating nostrils, the old gentleman should have
enough kind consideration for her character to
say nothing about it. The Governor elect does
not tell us how he received this very forward fe
male, but he evidently intends that we shall in
fer that he received her in a corresponding mood.
The naughty qjjl fellow!"

guarantee of his ability to impart to his pupils

President Xaking.
The Galena Advertiser seconds the nomina
tion of Hon. Edward Bates of Missouri for the
Presidency. This Mr. Bates is a man of whom
we know but little and shall therefore say but
little. We are not prepared to canvass his
claims, or qualifications for the important office.
But one thing is entirely conclusive to our
mind. The Missouri Republican, the only paper
even in Missouri, having any claim to respecta
bility or standing, which has justified Atchison,
Stringfcllow & Co., in their conquest of Kansas,
was the first to propose the name of Mr. Bates
for the Presidency. If he is acceptible to the
organ of the Missouri cut throats he cannot be
to us. If there is that about him congeniel with
the sentiments and feelings of the Hepublican,he
is not the man for us.

Missouri Ruffianism.—The Dubuque Ex

very truthfully remarks, that "it is singular
enough, that some papers calling themselves
democratic, and devoting themselves to the in
terests of the democracy, should deem it neces
sary either to remain silent on the subject of the
ruffianism of certain men of Missouri, or should
attempt to palliate it.
Counterfeit.—Last Saturday a new counter
feit five on the Westminster Bank of Providence,
R. I., made its appearance in Detroit. The vig
nette is a Locomotive and cars, and there are
five stripes of lathe work ou the ends. It is very

are well qualified to detect spurious notes.
Hunt Re-Elected.—Theodore G. Hunt, who
acted his part so honorably and manfully, in at
tempting to thwart the infamous Nebraska
schemc of Atchison, Pierce and Douglas, has
been triumphantly re-elected to the House from

The Nkw York Liquor Law—In the New
York Court of Special Sessions the proprietors
of the Astor House, New York city, being ar
raigned for selling liquor contrary to the pro
hibitory law, the Recorder has decided the sta
tute unconstitutional, and discharged the de
fendants. The following are the principal
grounds taken by the Court in reference to the
law:
"Its entire provisions are unparalclled in the
oppression they are calculated to produce if car
ried into effect. It holds out to the party whose
property has been seized the temptation to com
mit perjury that he may be heard in defence of
his property. It construes silence into a confes
sion of guilt, and acts upon that silence as upon
affirmative proof. It authorizes the destruction
of property without that due process of law se
cured by the Constitution to the citizen. It re
verses the rule of evidence by throwing the bur
den of proof upon the accused party. It violates
the compact entered into between Government
and the citizen by 'impairing the obligation of
contracts.'"

The Duty of Property Rolderi..
ir a general demand for business property, for
business uses, is one of the surest indices of a
town's prosperity, it may with equal propriety
be added that high rents and extravagant calcu
lations, are indubitable evidences of premature
decline and decay. Burlington represents either
one or the other of these phases to-day. We hear
on every side complaints of high rents. Proper
ty holders are not satisfied with the fair and re
munerative prices at which their business rooms
have been renting neither are they satisfied with
a healthy advance of say ten or twenty per cent.
—they want from fifty to one hundred per cent,
advance at a single jump. We are told that this
state of things actually exists, and people are
anxiously enquiring what they shall do to ward
off the fatal results of such a suicidal policy. If
this is true of our property holders it is to be
deeply regretted, and we cannot but believe that
those who have taken this step, will find plenty
of opportunity to regret it too before they, are
ready for another advance.
The fact of it is, this unhealthy state of things
has been forced upon the community by the nat
ural progress of events. Burlington is in a transi
tion state. From the modest airs of a quiet sub
urban town, it is donning the stately robes of a
"well regulated city," (in a horn) with all the us
ual paraphernalia of gas lights, hotel runners,
night police, failures, fights, fires, fast horses,
fast boys, and such other little etcetera» as go to
make up the show of a great city in the iinmagi
nation.
We do not wish to disparage the efforts of
any of those who are laboring for the benefit of
our growing young city. Not by any means.—
But the difficulty is, like some of our boys, we
are growing/ai«r than big. We must not for
get that we have a town of a little over ten thou
sand, while places dignified with the name of
cities, number their population by tens and hun
dreds of thousands. The time has not yet come
to finish Burlington by interdicting any further
increase of its inhabitants, and building a barrier
around it in the shape of intolerable taxes and
exhorbitant rents. This method of finishing
towns has been quite effectual in many instances,
but wc hope, for the honor of our citizens, that
this experiment will not be tried just at this crit
ical time, when an enlightened liberality should
invite strangers to settle in our midst. Let pro
perty holders then pursue a liberal policy in fix
ing their rents and they will never have reason
to regret it.

a river in the ocean, whose banks and bottom

its fountain in the Gulf of Mexico and its mouth

the Mississippi or the Amazon, with waters, as
far out from the Gulf is the coast of South Caro
lina, of an indigo blue, and the track so distinct
ly marked that its line of junction with the com*
mon sea water can be discerned by the eye. It
is like a stream of oil in the ocean, preserving a
distinctive character for more than three thou

Upon the school-house play ground, which shel
tered i mi »nd me,
But none were there to greet me, aild few were
left to know,
That played with us upon Ike green, ww twentf
years ago.
The grass is just as green, Tom barefooted boy*
at play.
Were sporting just aa we did then,, with spirits
just as gay
But "master" sleeps upon the hilt, which eoetvdf
o'or wKb snow.
Afforded us a sliding place, juat twenty years
ago.
The old school-house has altered some the
benches are replaced.
By new ones, very like the same our pen-knire*
had defaced
But the same old bricks are tn the wall—the bell
swings to and fro,
Its music's just the same, dear Tom, as twenty
years ogo.
The boys were playing some old game, beneath
thsl same old tree
I do forget the name Just uow—you've playea
the same with me,
On that same SJK'. 'twas played with knives, by
throwing so and so
The leader had a task to do there twtnty ys***
ago.
The river's running just as still, the willows on
its side
Are larger than they were, Tom the stream ap
pears less wide.
But the grape-\ine swing is ruined now, where
once we played tiie beau,
And swung our sweathearts, pretty girls,—-just
twenty years ago.
The spring that bubbled 'neath the MB, cloae K«*
the spreading beech,
Is very low,—'twas oncc so high that I could i'
most reach
And kneeling down to get a drink, dear Tom I
started so,
To sec how much that I hare changed, since
twenty years ago.
Near by the spring, upon an elm, yon know I cut
your name,
Your sweatheart's just beneath it, Tom andyoa
did miuc the same.
Some heartless wretch has peeled the bark,'twas
dying sure, but slow,
Just us the one, whose name you cut, died twen
ty years ago.
Their lids have long been div, Tom but
came in uiy eyes

As I thought of her I loved so well, and tliose
early broken ties
I visited the old churchyard, and took some flow
ers to strew
Upon the graves of those we loved, some twenty
years ago.
Some are in the churchyard laid—some sleep be
neath the sea
But few are left of our old class, excepting you
anil me
And when our time shall come, Tom, and we are
called to go,
I hope they'll lay us where we played, just twen*
ty years ago.

np after- Thirty
Year's Absence.
We heard the particulars yesterday of one of
those strange episodes in life, in which the old ad
age of'truth is stranger than Miction,' wu« fully
illustrated. About six years since, a lady named
Mrs. Martha Wood, accompanied by her son and
his wife, and a couple of children, arrived in this
city from New Bedford, Mass. She stated that
she was a widow of twenty-four years standing,
her husband having been mate of a whaler,
which hail been lost at sen. The family have re.
sided the greater part of the time in Liberty
street, Mr. Wood, the son, working at his trade,
which is that of a cooper.
Yesterday morning a gray-headed and toil
worn man called at the residence of the family,
and seeing Mr. Wood, inquired for the widow,
who, being called into the room, while gazing in
tently at the stranger, whose eves were fixed
mournfully upon her, requested to know his busi
ness.
'Do you not know me, Martha!' said he, and as
the sound of his voice, like the sound of an olden
memory, met her ear, she gave vent to au hyster
ical cry, und fainted in the arms that were open
ed to receive her.
The talc is soon told the ship in which he had
made his last voyage from New Bedford, was coat
away in the South Sea Islands, and he was one of
the few who escaped a watery grave. After en
during almost unheard of privations, he succeed
ed after thirty year's absence in reaching his nu
tive city. From a broiher of his wife, he learned
their present location, and arrrived here to find
her whom he left a voting and blooming bride,
fur advanced in the evening of life, while the in
fant, when lust lie saw him, he had imprinted up
on his lips a father's kiss, and who then could
scarcely lisp his name, was now a stalwart man,
and the head of a family. How many ho|c* and
fears must have agitated the old mariner aa he
again set foot, after his loug pilgrimage, upon hie
native land.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

Of the commitments to the state priaone of
New York, It appears thut at least one-half hare
never learned a regular trade. Out of 608 ad
mitted to Auburn and Sing-Sing, 177 could not
write their own names. Out of 51 female coB.
victs, the very large proportion of 34 could not
write their names. All these facts are full of
struction, showing that employment and educa
tion are essential us helps toward preserving the
community from the effects of crime.
The "Ui lino Passion."—A young ladv writes
thus ingeniously and anonymously in the columns
of a newspaper
"For my own part, I confess that the desire of
my own heart, and my constant prayer is, thaiT
may be blessed with n good and affectionate hip
band, and that I mav he a good and aflectioutlMi
wife and mother. Ahould I be deuied this, i hope
for grace to resign myself. It will be a bard tml
for me."
The Administration riew of Reader's ElsctiM.
Our readers have, doubtless, some curiosity
concerning the course which the administrafiM
at Washington will take in regard to the latof
election of a delegate in Kansas. The Washing,
ton Union has given a sufficiently clear inliuqf
tion of what it will be.
There are two persons claiming the seat of
delegate from Kansas—Whitfield, the candidate
of those who are for establishing slavery in th*
territory, and Reeder, the candidate of those
who desire to make Kansas a free State. Whit
field has on his side the foimsof an election.'
Reeder the substance. Whitfield was appointed*
by the Missourians, at an election held under alt
ordinance of the mock legislature assembled at
the Shawnee Mission. Reeder was chosen by
the people of Kansas, at an election instituted
by themselves. Whitfield is a pet of Shannon,
sent out by Mr. Pierce to govern Kansas. Shan-,
non recognised the spurious legislature and all
its ordinances, attended the election held unSu
them, voted for Whitfield, and to crown the faree,
gave him a formal certificate that he had bee*
duly choseu as delegate to represent the territife,
ry. The administration, of course, is prepared,
to second the doings of its creature, hannW,
and accordingly its organ, the Washington UniM^*
presents an argument in favor of the •ilmi«ii
of Whitfield, and against the admission of KftA,

Turned Over.—A good joke is told at the
pense of a number of our city girls, whose names
we are under bonds to withhold. During (%e
last week they took advantage of the beautiftd.
Indian summer weather to pay a visit to a coun
try cousin, living a short distance from Wood's
Mill. The party, some some six in numlcr,
were out by the roadside enjoying the sunshine'
when a man drove up with a load of hav, upon
which they asked and obtained permission to
ride. After considerable difficulty they all sot.
on top of the loud, and the man drove off with
his doubly precious cargo of hav and calico.——
The hay trembled with pure ectasv, and all went
merry until they reached the lar^e mtrf
pond which covers the road for about lifty,
square feet at the top of the hill this -ide ef
V ood's Mill, when the wagon upset, and landed
the girls and hav together in the mud and
water.
The hay fell uppermost, and for a moment
a piece of calico was visible, hut in a short tine
they scrambled out half drowned and (.mothered
from under water, all dripping with mud and
water, and so much alike that their individ«a!
lovers could not have told them apart Their
feeUngs were less rutfled by the accident then
their clothes, and after enjoying a hearty laugh
at their escape they retired to the bouse, linking
like a wild band of tattooed boiteiiUMs, and sca
