For some time Ottumwaites have been thinking and talking about waterworks, and since their great fire of last week, they have been acting, and have sent for the agent of the “Hollv Waterworks” to con fer with them as to cost, etc. The proba bility is that Oskaloosa will awaken in the same manner some day. Geo. D. Cook &Co., have made arrange ments with the large packing house of Ladd Co., Ottumwa, to buv 30 000 hogs this winter, and will commence at this place in two or three weeks, of which due notice will be given.

The Register says the Des Moines Val ley Road has within the last six weeks sold over two million dollars’ worth of their lands in Northwestern lowa They were mainly sold to the parties who hold the first mortgage bonds on the Road. The prices paid ranged from $3 20 to S2O 00 per acre. It is understood that the lands will be put into market, for sale to actual settlers. The Clinton Herald has changed hands. H. 3. Hyatt has sold his interest to Dr. T. J. Saunders, lately of the Davenport Gazette. Mr. Ilyatt has been one of the most popular rnen in lowa journalism, and we regret to see bun going out of the ac tive lists of the profession. Dr. Saunders is a fine newspaper man, and loves the work He will make the Herald a paper of power in the State. John Hakpkh.—We learn that John Harper, 'whose shooting we mentioned last week, has arrive 1 at his home at Giv en. He was shot in both legs instead of one as mentioned by us before. The shooting took place near Cameron, Mo.; the villain was recognized by some persons living in the vicinity, and two squads of the vigilance committee arc after him. He is ntpposed to belong to the gang that fired Cameron a few nights after. If the com mittee gets hold of him he will “escape.” Disease among the llogs.—Joseph Gtaves of Adams Tp., informs us that some fatal disease prevails among the hogs in bis neighborhood, which is proving very destructive. He lost 21* out of 33, and says his neighbors have lost in equally large proportion in many casts. They are first attacked with reeling and staggering, and their ears and the iuside portion of their 1 gs turn purple before they die. He thinks it is not the cholera, as they have none of the symptoms thereof. What is it and what will cure it Head This.— ft. takes money to run a paper. We work hard to make it worth two doll ir-v If it isn’t worth this much to you, act mauly and stop taking it. If it is worth this much, encourage us by comply ing with our terms just as you do with for eign publishers. We do not wish to lose a single subscriber, and we know that ev ery one of you am if you tcill pay the amount of your bill. If it was a single, isolated case, or a dozen such cases, we could stand it. but when the aggregate runs up to thousands of dollars we lay down the law, pay up and continue or pay up and quit. Our money we must have. Quite a number of suits are pending in various localities against railroad compan ies, for the expulsion of parlies with first class tickets, from the “ladies” or first-class cars. If railroads desire a car for ladies and their escorts, which is proper enough, they should also furnish nnotber first class car for “gentlemen,” and not dump them down in the dirty, filthy emigrant or smok ing cars. We hav t often thought when turned from the “ladies” car because unac companied by a lady, that there should be some redress. For our part it is just as pleasant to ride in a cattle-car as a smok ing car. You may say “it is just as a fel low is raised,” and-as riding in a smoking car “raises” our stomach’s contents, we agree with you. Fire Engine.— For our part we are in favor of “rubbing out and beginning anew” on the Fire Engine business, and either sell, trade or give away the squirt-guns we have now, and buy a good steam fire engine, lhatmen will not be ashhmed to run with. If an arrangement could be made for stor ing the machines we have, one might be placed In each end of town, to be used on small buildings i Q remote parts of town, until agood engine could get on the ground, for these enginea might do some good on one siory bouses, but in the business blocks they would be powerless, a steam engine would cost some money, but a little over double what those useless things have cost would bay one, and a good one at that. This nuttier will do to think over. Accident— Last Saturday while the miners in one of the banks at Beacon were fixing props after a blast, the top coal fell down, striking Dan Carrington on the head, and tearing about one-fourth of his scalp loose. Dr. Ilolfraan was called, ad ministered to his case and he is now doing well. Religious.—Divine service and Holy Communion at St. James church on Sun day next a* the usual hour. The sacra ment of Baptism for adult candidates, will also be administered during morning ser vice. In the evening the usual monthly missionary meeting will he held, with mis sionary address by the Rector and others. Marble Works—The new firm of Glaze Crutchfield have an advertise ment els where in this paper, by which it will be seen that they are prepared to fill all orders lor marble-work of any descrip tion. The w’ell-known ability of this firm to fill contracts promptly and to the letter, make them popular. Shop on Main street, two doors west of post-office. Sing —The Ist M. E church S. S. sing ing school will meet Saturday, 3 o’clock, p. m sharp. Rudiments of music taught free to all members of the school. Church singing 7:30 p. m. Every individual mem ber earnestly invited. Come, let U 9 join in this pleasant work. What more fitting way of closing the toilsome week than in striving to praise our God with the spirit and “with the understanding also.” Gen. Clark’s horse “Frank Palmer” beat “Honesty” of Ottumwa, at Des Moines last Frida}’, in three best out of five, for SSOO a side. The following is the score 1 2 3 4 5 Frank Kilmer 0 0 1 1 l Honesty 0’ 1 0 0 0 Time *2:48 2:48 2:47 2:50 240 The first being a "dead heat,” “Honesty” a* usual split a hoof, or cast a shoe, or something else happened to him, anvhow he got beat, and the match will be repeated ut Ottumwa at an early day. Railroad.—Judge Seevehs informs us he has a letter from parties in Albia, ask ing Oskaloosa to act with that city and Knoxville, and appoint a committee of one to visit Bt. Louis and see what can be done for our railroad interests there, looking to the extension of the Central south from Albia. If our citizens desire to take any actiou in the muter ’.hey should select some well posted railroad man, who has our interests at heart. We leave the in at ter w’ith you. What will you do. The Eddyville Advertiser has this item "Historical —Aaron Melick of tbi* city, wan in Chicago since the fire, amt by interviewing the Irish woman and her friend*, came in possession of the veritable currycomb that is said to have curried the cow that is said to have kicked over the lamp which igniting the straw, burned not only the stable of the Irish woman, but ihe e-xond commercial city and the first grain mart ot America We have no doubt that at least 1000 cur rycombs have already been sold as the identical one used as stated above, and we expect it will prove a profitable business tor curry-comb manufacturers to furnish that old lady in "relics” of that sort. The following though not of local inter est may be novel enough to interest our local readers. We find it in the Adair Co. Gazette “*To Whom it may Concern.—A» there ha* been a xiory afloat, that l wore a certain dead man'* boot*. I wi'l here state that I wa* one who helped bury a man that wa* *hot for killing a vet eran *oldier. who wa* home ou a furlough, and *a d man did have a pair of boots that were good, and a* they could not be *o'd, I propo*ed to throw them out on the road, but one of the parly said he knew ofa better way to di*po*e of them and that wa* to give them io a certain old man living iu the ea*t part of the county, and that he would *ay nothing a* to who had them, as he (the pe *on receiving them) would not like to wear them if he knew to whom they had belonged. No when I laid my claim before tne supervisor*, they would not allow it. because I would not tell them what wa* done with *aid hoots, and now alter seven year*, some (good friend) ha* taken it upon himself to spread it over the county to slan der me. Now I will here say lor the benefit of that person, that I have heard enough of this slang, and if this doe* not satisfy, I shall resort to otiier means, which will make them all the trouble that the law will allow ate to tor slander, a* l have plenty of wit''esses that I did not wear said boots, as they were No, C or 7. and I wear 10's. Norman Norton. Reservoirs—The attention of the whole country was called, during the late dry sea son to the necessity for some kind of water works, to supply waier in case of a fire Marshalltown voted $25,000 to get a steam engine and put up water wotks. Clinton is agitating the subject, and the Bee has an article on the subject, in which details are entered into showing that a water pipe, six inches in diameter, half an inch thick may be laid down for about #1 per foot in length. Towns like Oskaloosa, located so far irom the river should adopt some meas ure to procure water, other than the shal low wells we now have. One ot'the Coun cil informed us that the project of sinking an artesian well in the square, aud build ing a reservoir there to receive the over flow, has been talked of. This, with ar rangements for flooding the wells on each corner would supply the square, and pro tect it, and with the addition of a few cis terns conveniently and judiciously located would secure the safety of all to a great de gree. Some measures should be taken, for we cannot hope to always be lucky be cause we have heretofore escaped the de vouring fiend. A Figiit.—-We regret to learn that our friends Brady and Carleton, rival editors of Indianola, have had a set-to, the partic ulars of which we have not seen, excepting the following from the Dea Moines Regie ter “Chivalry" at Indianola.—For several day* we have heard report* from Indianola fo the effect that K. W. Brady, editor of the Journal bud been attacked in the streets of that place with a raw hide in the hand* ol a prin'er or work man in the employ ol the Leadtr Company. The *tory run that the a**utiliine party—named Carleton—had rushed up to Mr. Brady, and attempted to u*e the w apon of the bully upon him that Mr Brady, ►urpri**d at the attack, but retaining hi* eelf pohseeidon. wrench* d the whip from tne hand of hi* a**ailant telling him that it wa* not hi* style to flsrht in that way, nor hi* etyleto allow bimaeif t<» he whipped in that way and that, alter thin lurn of the aff.iir. and the collection of a crowd, the availing party took him*elf off. con*o'ing himrelf with the threat of the little boy that “he would catch him out alone *ome time yet.” But we *ce by yesterday Journal that the report 1* essentially true -at least *o far a* the attempt at the c whiding of Mr. Brady, and the covert threat of hi* a**uilant of more of the same sort to come, are concerned. The Journal ha* a lengthy statement of the affair, stating that the man named Carleton. taking umbrage at some personal alia *ian in the Journal, which he took to mean him, and not feeling able to answer it with the pen. re sorted to an ai tempt at using the raw-hide*. The enconnter, in its details, a* the Journal ha* it, was substantially the same as it came to us by re port.” Mr. Carleton in his fonder makes no al lusion to it, other than to excuse himself for having been driven by certain publica tions in the Journal, to make the attack. Marion County. —The Democrat says a boy, 10 years old, named Strong, near Columbia, fell from a straw stack and broke his leg Messrs. Davis, Bestor Co., from Mahaska county, we believe, are building large Woolen Mills at Marys ville John Former, 18 years old, re turning on Sunday night from church was attacked by a large Newfoundland dog which grabbed at his throat, leaving the marks of its teeth on his neck. It then seized him by the hand and tore it in a dreadful manner. In the meantime the boy was making a desperate fight, inflict ing several wounds on the animal with his pocket-knife, and finally the beast was driven 0ff..... Win. Park was looliug with a revolver and shot himself through the hand... .Dr. Guthrie tells us that he has been called twice to give aid to children who had been drinking concentrated lye. He says vinegar is a sure antidote for this stuff. Let it be drank soon after drinking the lye. and a complete cure will be effect ed in nine cases out of ten. This should be remembered by everybody John Barney eld, a tinner in Pell, fell from a two story building and had several ribs broken. An attempt was made to burn the school bouse at Pella on the 18th Miss Nellie, daughter of Rev. Runyon, of this place, 4 years old, came Dear being torn* to pieces by an infuriated sow belonging to Rev. R. The sow thought the little girl was hurting one of its small pigs, and ran up to her, knocked her down, cut a gash her bead, aud was trying to tear the child's clothes from her, when Mr. R. came up and with the greatest difficulty drove the animal away. New Sharon Shipments. A. H. Nay lor says in a letter to us “We have been furnished by our kind agent, G. B. Gould with the following statistics of the amount of grain shipped from New Sharon by the Central It. R. of lowa, from Ist Mo. 11th, 1871, to 10th Mo. 30, 1871 Wheat, 88,- 850 bushels corn, 42.000 bu. oats 36,000 bu. potatoes, 6,400 bu.; barley, 9.000 bu.; rye, 2,000 bu.; horses, one car; cattle, ten cars hogs, fifty cars.” Fire.—The inmates of the St. James Hotel were badly frightened by the alarm of file given in that house last Thursday night; it came near resulting in a first class conflagration. A lamp left burning in Mrs. Rowland’s room is supposed to have exploded, setting fire to some dresses liauging on the wall, and getting a pretty good start on the furniture, floor, etc. A few buckets of water quenched what would iu a few moments more have given Oskaloosa its largest fire. Coal Switch. —Pres. Gilman writes to parties in town “We are building a switching engine aDd forwarding scales, iron, &c., to accommodate the several coal banks about Oskaloosa; had calcula'ed the point to be Beacon or Given, as each place offered all facilities free. Will put the whole thing at Oskaloosa for 20 acres of land, if properly situated, of easy ac cess to our main line and switches.” A meeting of our citizens will be called at an early day to take action in thi9 matter. Emma Purdy. The Hew block opposite the Post Office is to be called the Herald block, in honor of the Oska loosa Herald. The name is worthily bestowed. Evangeilr 1,.) Oskaloosa,) A Merited Compliment.—Bo a unanimous vote of the owners oi the various portions of the fine brick block in which the Oskaloosa Herald office is located, it has been named the Herald block, in honor of th proprietors of the Herald, to whose energy, influence, determination and material aid the building owes its existence.— Albia Union. Wcll Named.—The handsome business block built in Oskaloosa this season, of w hich the Her ald building forms the corner s ore, has, by unanimous consent of the several ow ners, been christened the Herald block The Herald boys are deserving all the honors that can be heaped npon them.— Eddyville Advertiser. Enter* upon ils fiftieth year ou the Ist of Janu ary next. Its career has been one of the most successful in the history of American journal ism. Every department is conducted with abili ty. Its Foreign Correspondence is unrivalled, and its independence in commenting upon polit ical corruptions is in the highest degree praise worthy. We notice »hat it appears in a “New Dress," and also announces that the succes or its Year- Book for 1871 will result in Volume No. 2 for 1872. which will be still more complete in its sta tistical aud other tables of iuiormation, and In its general arrangement. Such enterprise deserves success, and we ad vise our readers to send for a specimen copy of the paper. New subscribers will receive the pa per free until January Ist. Improvement Contemplated.—Last week we intimated that a company would build next year the block on High street, from alley at Star Bakery to Dawson cor ner. This arrangement ha 9 been about made, and we understand some contracts for material let. We hope it will go on, and that a dozen similar may be put up within the next twelve month iu the city. In the block spoken of, the three rooms on the corner, known as the “Dawson” prop erty, will be for rent, the fourth room will lie occupied by Call Bristol and the Evangelist office, the filth by F. W. McCall with his Marble Works, and the sixth, built by T. T. Wright, will probably be for rent, as he has a five year lease where he now is. The building will be three stories high we believe, and will add much to the appearance of the street. About Bt. Louis. —As mauy ot our citi zens a*-e interested in having the embargo now existing on freights and facilities to St. L<*uis removed, the following extract from a despatch from that city, of last Sat urday says “A ma«e meeting of merchants and citizen* wa* held at the Mercantile Library last night, to t*ke into consideration the propiiety of petitioning the county court to dismiss the suit now pending against the North Missouri Railroad, at the same time binding parties now controlling the said road to fully stock and equip the road at once, and to make all necessary preparations to tran* act business which will flow upon the city during the winter. Resolutions were uaatiimonsly adopted that the interest of the entire community will he best served by the dismissal of the suit, and that the county court be requested to take such action. To avoid any embarrassment* or complaints hereafter, the county court was re spectfully requested to immediately sell the stock In the road held by the Company.at auction to the highest bidder lor cash, first giving ten days notice of the sale by advertising the same in the city papers A committee of twenty prominent citizens was appointed to present the resolutions to the county court as the action cf the meeting.” OFFICERS ELECT of the different Townships of the County.

Agency, Nov. Ist, 1871. We desire lo call the attention of the public to our card in another column. We point with pride to the handsome exhibit made by the staunch old companies com prising the agency, and invite a critical examination of tne list. Every company named therein has gone through the great Chicago tire and emerged from the smoke andruins of that dire calamity “pur ified as by fire.” THE ROYAL OF LIVERPOOL, ENG., comes out this crisis as she has came out of all the fire trials of the last quarter of a century, with her great resources still equal to all her hazards. THE FRANKLIN, OF PHILADEL PHIA, has been through the fire before, lu the great St. Louis fireol ’4O, the Frank lin paid the ci'iz' ks o! St. Louis four hun dred thousand dollar* a larger sum will be disbursed in Chicago, and yet leave her tiie princely sum of two millions seven hun dred and sixty-nine thousand dollars lor the security of policy holders. With such a record no other guarantee is needed. THE UNDERWRITERS OF N. Y., promptly commenced the payment of Chi cago losses, which amounted to uiue hun dred thousand dollars. The demand lor ihe Underwriter's policies has increased her cash receipts lo such an extent as to deprive the Chicago disaster ot much of its formidable appearance THE GRAND OLD FiICENIX OF IIAK TFOKD, is left with more than a million oi solid assets with which to tight tire and meet any emergency tihe com menced payment while poor Chicago’s ashes were yet smouldering hot paying a ten Ihousaud dollar loss on 1 hursuay, three days alter the tire occurred. The Phceuix will soon be able to say “every Chicago loss has beta paid.” It is emi nently worthy of public coutidence and patronage. THE SPRINGFIELD OF MASSA CHUSETTS* is paying losses at Chicago in cash as fast as they can be adjusted. Alter all outstanding losses are paid, the capital aud surplus ot the Springheld will be over nine hundred thousand dollars. THE HOME OF COLL’MU US, was among lire ttrst companies to t egiu adjustment of Fiie losses in Chicago. Uy her prompt aud decided action she has gained a business standing that could hot have been gained in til icon years’ business. No prouder array of choice companies can be found at auy ageucy in the State. No doubliul or badly crippled companies. Each has a handsome surplus, and by steadiness and decision in the tace of the most adverse circumstances, all have given the best possible guarantee for the future DUMONT BROS.
