We regret to lose Ri from our midst, but bope be may do well in his new cho’ce Paper—So many editors are complain ing of their paper not coming to hand. If they dealt with Snidrk A Holmes of St. Louis, they would not thus mourn. We have dealt with them four years and never been disappointed. 1t y ft* I Mail Book. —Our new mail book is nearly completed and will be used from January 1, 1872 many names will not be found thereon that day, unless prompt ac tion is taken. We don’t intend running a paper for fun next year. 00 f f t Tom J. Fletcher renewed bis subscrip tions for five copies of the Herald. In re sponse to our proposition to take the whole issue be says he thinks not, and we refer the girls to him for the comparison be made. We dare not tell it. Festival. —Orin Counsil informs us that the Masons of Bellefontaine Lodge, No. 163, will give a festival on the 27th. These occasions are always well attended -and seasons of much enjoyment. We hope they will have a good time Jones House. —Remember when you goto Des Moines this winter that the Jones House is the place to stop Fare good, rates low, and long John to tell you a mor al yarn.

E. church have been busy during the week, making preparations for their Festival, which wi 1 be held at City Hall, Saturday and Mon- day evenings, Dec. 23 and 25th. They promise an interesting time to all who at tend. Do not fail to be present. Marble.—F. W. McCall is getting in another large atock of marble to supply the extensive trade he has built up through out the State. Hi« shop is full of good me ebanics whose work are their references, and he feels able to supply all wants in his line. Persons desiring work will remem ber bis shop on High street, first block west of square, where samples may always be seen. Toe Bellefontsine M. E. church will have a tree on Christmas night, and general good time ia anticipated. On the evening •of the 12th, Rev. U. B. Smith of that church -delivered a telling Temperance Lecture at the church, which we know he is well pre pared to do in good shape. He is a gen tleman of culture and we are glad to learn is likely to accomplish much good with his p reseat charge. The Philomathi Society of the College *Ol give an exhibition to morrow evening. The previous efforts of this society have been ao successful that we bespeak for them a lull house, as the programme pre pared ia unuaually interesting. Question for debate, ‘‘Should there be another Polit ical I arty Performances will begin at 7 o'clock. Admission 15 eta each or 25 cts for gentleman and lady, Eddytillb has taken the advice we have oflered our people so often, n d or ganized a company to encourage manufac ture* to locate there. Last week they closed a bargain with a man who proposes to start a foundry. The company loans him #5 000 for five years, and he is to commence operations at once. This will add many times the amount invested to the import ance and capital of Eddy ville. I Ay*/* t*f this city, died last Tuesday morning at M early hour. Some three years since he received a paralytic stroke firoa which ha never reaovered entirely— dhe nerves of on* eg* being rendered use rises—and a startUuseless in such cold as we have had for some days past. Last Suu day, Mrs. Harris, a war widow living in the Cruzen neighborhood, north west of town, had her house and contents entirely de stroyed by fire. She shut the house up, and went to a neighbors to spend the day, and when she returned found her house a mass of ruins. For Messenger.—Frank S. Rice, son of the late Gen. Samuel A. Rice, will be a candidate for Messenger of the Senate. Frankie is a bright, active boy, well cal- culated to discharge the duties of that of fice, and we hope he will receive it. His father, one of the bravest and most gallant officers that ever went forth from lowa, lost his life in the service of his country— receiving the wound that laid him low while leading his Brigade against tlie en emy. and certaiuly the Senate cannot re fuse bis orphan so small a boon. Monroe County—The Union says a coal digger, by the name of Hunt, living three miles west of Albia, died on last Sat urday. He dug coal until one o’clock P. M., and came home to dinnev,complaining some of sore throat, which commenced swelling so rapidly that, by the time Ids wife g*t his dinner ready, be could not swallow, and he died at half past four.... Albia will put up a “Union Block” next spring, off the square, because they cannot get lots theieon... .Albia has a company entitled “Exchange Manufacturing Com pauy.” They propose to manufacture woolen goods. The Council Bluff- Manufacturing Asso ciation is in lull blast, and receiving letters every day from parties of capita! desirous of locating in some town where the people have faith enough in its future to assist capitalists with a temporary loan to in crease and further their business. At the last meeting of the C. B. Association, prop ositions were read from parties desiring to start a starch factory, pottery, cracker fac tory, wrought iron bridge works, printing ink factory, woolen mills,ete. The associ ation has weekly meetings, and at its last ordered the Secretary to subscribe for and distribute weekly, to Eastern hotels and manufactories, 50 copies of each of the pa pers published in the town. Whetstone Bros took some unaccount able freak last Friday, and sold out their grocery to Clark Purdy. We are glad to welcome Clark back again to the trade, ami hope he may do well in his new location and also hope tho Whetstone boys will not leave us, but engage in some other business among us at an early day. Three years ago they came among us strangers, know ing no one, went into business, built up a good, lucrative trade, and by honorable and straightforward dealing gained the confidence of their patrons. Here’s hoping both the old and the new msy prosper and grow rich. Clark will continue at. the old stand of course. Marion County. —The Democrat says the wall of a well fell in on Thos. Vincent, inflicting severe injuries... .A log rolled over on Mat Andrews, who was employed in Major Gibson’s saw mill, throwing him back against an upright iron bar nearly an inch in diameter, which entered bis tody near the anus, passing upward several inches, producing a dangerous if not fatal wound... .The Blade says an attempt was made to rob Peter J. Davenport, near Pella, but he put spurs to bis horse and escaped his two assailants The Demo crat says the wolves are so plenty in Dallas Tp., that they are seen every day. They are destroying the sheep .A horse fell on Thos. B. Harvey and mashed lus foot. .And a little child, brother of the above boy fell through a cellar trap door and se riously injured it. Prospkctusf.s. —We present several prospectuses of interesting publications this week. The Davenport Gazette one of the finest dailies in the west, has a short announcement which you should read. Tne Lady's Friend and Saturday Even ing Post, two of the most popular publica tions in Philadelphia are offered astonish ingly low to clubs. The Post has been greatly improved of late, and now is one of the finest literary papers in the land. The prospectus of Harper’s Bazar w ill at once claim the the attention of every lady who loves tho fashions—and who does not. No one can surpass the Harper publications, aud a price list is given in their prospectus. The Chicago Tribune has a prospectus which we invite you to read. It is one of Chicago’s best papers. To Protect Treks from Rabbits and Winter Blioiit.— W. 8. Wharton of Belief mtaiue informs us that after reading our “fish-oil” remedy for rabbits, he tbo’t to submit fine of hia own, that he has used successfully for some time. He takes u newspaper, tears it in long strips, doubles them and then begins up as high us desired, to wrap the body of the tree, spirally, with this paper, tying at the top and bottom with string, linn bark, or anything else that will tie. He says the rabbits will not bother the tree thus bandaged, and that it also protects them from the winter freezes and thaws that do so much damage. At first thought it docs not look like the paper would stand the weather, but Mr. Wharton says he has often read whole articles after removing the wraps, so well were they preserved. This is a matter of interest to every one, and though rather late to try for the blight, might yet save valuable trees from the rabbits, and will do well to preserve for reference next year. Every farmer takes (or should) a paper or two, and the accumulation of a year will bind up quite a large orchard. Try it some of you. The accident on the Central, spoken of by us last week occurred in this wise The engine John S. Gilman, was backing down, pulling after it nine coal cars bound for the Hardin Mahaska Coal Co’s fields in Monroe county, and when a short distance below Kddyville, four cattle jumped on the track and attempted to cross just in front of the tender. The train was run ning sixteen miles an hour, and “beefed” the bovines suddenly, cutting the heads of two entirely off, and killing another dead. The engine turned a complete somer sault in the muss. Four persons were on the engine at the time of these Iloriger fhe fireman and Bentley jumped, and after performing various evolutions, bro’t up with plenty r ,f bruises and “peelings," bui no serious damage. Conductor Ells worth, and Engineer Wolcott were bunch ed with the engine, aud covered with rub bish and fragments, and looked like they were killed, but when brought to light, the conductor was found to be but little dam aged, while Wolcott had a few ribs broken, shoulder dislocated, and some other bruises. The escapes are truly wonderful. The Company will lose SIO,OOO by the smash up. Mo blame is attached to any one. Foundry and Machine Shop.—Run ning about town the other day, we stum bled into the foundry of J. C. Harrington, and Machine shop of Thomas Seevers, sit uated on West Main street near the depot. These enterprising workmen have this year built new houses for their works, moved therein a few days ago, and are now just getting fixed up. The Foundry is 20x75, one story high, and furnished throughout in the best style, not being ex celled by any establishment of the kind in Central lowa. With plenty of room, good workmen and good machinery, he can turn out the best of work. The improvements made by Mr. Harrington in and arouud his foundry this year, will amount to about $2500. Just north of the foundry on the same lot, (which by the way occupies the square) is the Machine shop of Thomas Seevers. This is a solid, substantial, two story frame house, erected this season, at a cost of about $4,000, and well fitted with all the modem appliances for good work. The machinery is run by a 25 horse power engine of Seevers’ own make, and a beauty it is. Tom flatters himself that when once settled down in his new quarters, he will be able to cope with any job in his line that may put in an appearance. Manufactures such as these we must build up in our midst, and the way to do it is to patronize them our selves. Every dollar spent with a home workman circulates again amoDg us. and assists those who build up the place, pay the taxes, aud furnish work tor the labor er. You would do well to call at these works ard see them, at least. The Gruwell Brick. —This fine new brick on the corner of High and Washing ton streets, one block west of the square, is 20x80, two stories high, with stone base ment beneath. The structure was com menced in June, we believe, the Dr. tear ing down his brick dwelling house to make room for it. Ihe front is the mixed —Mar- shalltown cut stone pillur lacing the west wall, and stone caps over front, supported by iron pillars of Harrington’s make. The building is occupied by Craig A Alexander wth their smashing sink of Hardware, .s'ov. s and Tinware, which they are just moving in. Tl c basement uudt r the whole building, will bv- used by them for storing stoves, and they have stock enough to fill it. The first story is the sales room, and has been fitted up to order for the business, with shelves, counters, etc., arranged in the most convenient manner. litre their large stock of Hardware is being arranged, anil a fine display of stoves of ali kinds is kept for selection. The second story is it-;--I for shop in front, and the rear will be shelved ami tinware stored therein, of which they have an immense amount on hand. They will get all moved by the Ist of January, (if Bill Duke’s back gets well —and guess the liniment will cure him) and when straightened up will have one of the finest stores in town. These gentle men have been in business on the south west corner for a number of years, and by fdr dealing and accommodating salesmen have built up a large trade, which w'e hope may follow them to their rew location. They are agents for a new school desk that is said to be a fine thing and also for the celebrated Fairbanks’ scales. “HERALD BLOCK.” Now that the new’ block on Main street,' tearing the above title is nearly completed, it may not prove uninteresting to give a description of it and its occupants. About the Ist of last May, Leighton Needham, and Tobias Leighton, bought of D. W. Bor ing the. corner lot, and proceeded to erect a two-story brick to be used by the Her ald office. The foundation was scarcely in when Eii Ketner joined us on the east. Then 31. E. Cults declared his intention (afterwards swapping lots with T. K. Bmith) T. K. Smith, David Evans, and 3lillor, Munsell Ilarbach joining in aud completing the block. We shall speak of each in detail. The corner room on Main and Washington streets, constitutes OUR NEW QUARTERS. The building is 20x100, (or as Welch put it about another in town, 'front* 100 feet on Washington street,” and 20 on Main,) and two stories high the lower floor is divid ed l>y a brick partition, in two rooms, each 20x50, with foot story. The front room is occupied by the Post-office and lieuben Whitaker’s News Depot. The Post office has been refitted and much im proved by Postmaster Needham, at his own expense two hundred new boxes added, und all re-arranged, re painted and re numbered, until be lias now one of the neatest and most convenient offices in the State. The “Lobby” occupied by Whit aker’s News Depot, is fitted up in a style not equalled by any similar establishment in the State, so far as our observation has extended. Here a full line of the latest papers and magazines, daily, weekly and monthly, may always be found. Reuben intends increasing his stock of books at an early day, and keep everything standard. In the meantime he has a full line of sta tionery of all kinds, memorandum books. Diaries, Albums, Notions, Holiday Goods, etc., which lie is always pleased to show you. In the front room, second floor, reached by the iron stairway on the west side, (the only one in town) you will find the herald office Sanctum, a pleasant and comfortable room, 20x20, with foot story. Here the ed itor sits and hears the mournful cry of tho grinning devil, “More Copy,” and the more disheartening cry of delinquent subscribers, “No Money.” This room is intended for the transaction of the editorial and finan cial business of the firm. The next room back, 20x00, is used as a “stock room,” which will be partially shelved and ar ranged with tables or counters, in which will be kept all kinds of material for first class job and newspaper printing from the finest bristol board visiting card, to the whole sheet of nows. Passing through this, we come to the composing room, 20x 50, lighted by seven large windows, and which we unhesitatingly pronounce one of the nicest, if not the nicest room used for the purpose in the State. Large, comfort able, very light, and handy as a pocket, having been built expressly for the use it is now put to, it is hard to conceive a better. At the south east corner is an elevator for raising and lowering the heavy forms, which answers to a dot. It is the handi work of T. Leighton, and answers the pur pose as well and cost but a mite compared with the imported ones. In this room George It. Lee, John 8. Nichols, George W. Hinesley, Pierce Perdue and W. P. Ilellings do the type-setting on news and book work, and a better set of boys were never congregated together than they are. All the book, news, and advertising type are found in this room, filling two exten sive cabinets, and about twenty-five pairs of news cases, and consisting, besides that shown yon weekly in our paper, of a large amount of new Primer and Nonpareil, kept expressly for book-work—a line in which we claim to excel. The balance of the furniture consists of the usual amount of stands, racks, imposing stones, Wash ington hand press, etc. Immediately be low this room, (reached by stairs and ele vator) is the job office and press room of the establishment, presided over by W.M. Leioiiton, the best job printer in Central lowa, as his specimen book will fully sub stantiate; assisted by “Smiley" and “Sparks," who are indispensable in their line. The job type, consisting of over 150 fonts, nearly all new. is contained in three large cabinets—the wood type being taste fully arranged in a rack fastened to the wall. The presses consist of our large Potter Power press, on which the Herald is printed, and which is often brought into use for job work of large size; our Cin cinnati jobber large size, and the quarto medium Gordon jobber, one of the finest specimens of press ever made. These are all good, till the bill to a dot, and turn out splendid work. The office is furnished with various conveniences such as a long experience at the trade would suggest. The building was erected under the su pervision of T. Leighton, who did the car penter work, and is a fine job throughout, —the best of stone in the foundation, and Frauk Castle’s unexcelled work in the caps, sills, etc., best of brick in the walls, laid by the best of workmen —Binns Rouse, first-class lumber in the finish, plaster finish on the walls, In Philasder McMullin’s best style, one of Craig A Alex ander’s best tin roofs to cover it, and sup ported by Harrington’s cast iron pillars, we may say it is all first-rate. The next room to the east is that of Eli Ivetner. The building is 20x00, same front and fin ish as the one just spoken of, and occupied by Ketner Anderson as Clothing Store and Merchant Tailoring establishment. Their store room is well laid off, light, com fortable and agreeable, and well filled with one of the best stocks of goods in their line, which they have no hesitancy in call ing the people’s attention to through the newspaper columns. Mr. Ketner is also agent for the celebrated Howe Sewing Ma chine, which he keeps always on hand. The second story of this building is reach ed by a stairway between this room and the next, with the entrance to it on the street. This story is divided into two large rooms with a smaller one attached to each for closet or wash room. The back room is occupied by the firm themselves for a work shop, and here those famous wedding suits within which so many hearts go “pit a-pat,” are turned out by accomplished workmen. Tke front room is torrent, we believe. It is well lighted, and would make a splendid office. Next door east we find T. I\. Smith. Some one very appropriately dubbed him, from his initials, Time Keeper Smith. Be fore entering this room you pause to ad mire those beautiful French plate glass, 56x132 inches each, the largest and finest in this part of Towa, and clear ns crystal. Enter the building, which is 20x60, and you find yourself in one of the finest rooms in town, made to order, for the business it is now used for In ihe vault, under tbe stairway is the fmc safe in which he stores bis valuables, anti tastefully arranged over the wall" aic regul.itois. clocks and time pieces in profusion to suit almost any taste, nud in »i>e elegant show eases on the counters arc to be found every kind of pocket-time piece, or almost any article of jewelry desired from a watch-key to a dia mond ring. The second story reached by same stairs as Mr. Ivetner’s, is finished off in a large room and small one, occupied we believe, bv Mr. Stanton as picture gal lery, and by the Harper L ibrary Associa tion. Next door cast is the building of M. E. Cutts. Occupied by the wholesale Grocery of Wright Spencer. The building is 20x110, ami is the first of the block with cellar un derneath. The cellar is six foot story, well drained, and a valuable addition for the business using it. An office is cut off the front, of first story, the entrance door be ing set to one side instead of the middle as in the others. This office is enclosed on three sides with glass doors, so arranged that a person at the desk can see on the street, any one enter, or any part of the lower room without moving. Neither of the store-rooms are. plastered, but neatly whitewashed and partially hung with shelves for the light goods. In the rear is a splendid elevator put in by Thos. Seev ers of this city, at a much less price than eastern manufacturers demand for the same. This will carry goods from the cel lar to either story. Of Messrs Wright Spencer we desire to say a word. They are well known to our citizens as honest, upright dealers, and are extending their borders every day. When they first open ed out here, the trade was confined to a part of the town trade, and such of the country custom as they could pick up, but now they sell in every direction, cast, west, north and south, on all the roads in the State almost, running to the very den of 6ome of tlie large houses that formerly carried off tho trade of our town. Their line is complete, and dealers can replenish their stock on as good terms as they can farther away. Next door east is David Evans. Another 20x110, built as a counterpart of Cults’, cellar and all. This room is not finished 3 r et, hilt David is rapidly putting it in shape for a renter who takes posses sion in Fchruaiy or March. An elevator will be placed in similar to that of Cutts’, and the second story will be reached by a spiral stairway which will be both useful and ornamental. The walls will not be plastert d, but painted or whitewashed, and shelved. It will be a magnificent room, and take an awful sight of goods to fill it up. David has worked like a beaver, hav ing the oversight o( five of the six room 9 on his hands, and the .substantial and satis factory manner in which he accomplished the work, shows that he understands his business thoroughly, and gives him the credit of being not only a good carpenter but a fine builder. The last room in the block is that of Miller, Munseli. llarrach, our enterprising furniture dealers, who, tired of carrying their own insurance risks in the wooden row they occupy, concluded to build a substantial room that would defy tire under ordinary circumstances. Their room is 20x110, same style of two men tioned last, with cellar beneath so lighted by grated windows on street and alley, as to be available for the rough work. The first tloor will be the sales room, and up stairs will be used tor storing and finish ing. Iron shutters will protect the alley windows, and make them secure against any outside tire. When these gentlemen get iu their new rooms they will have one of the most complete and convenient es tablishments in the country. Their stock is large and well assorted, and the new routna will give a chance for display they do not now have. Taken altogether the Block Is credit to the town, and a decided convenience to the occupants. The front is uniform stone block pillars facing the front of each wall, two iion pillars between, with heavy stone caps resting thereou wiudow caps and sills of stone, brick cornice and stone cop ing. It makes a beautilul front. The roof is all tin and put on by Craig Alexan der, Geo. A. Wells, and Binilh Linton, in separate contracts. The structure cost over $30,000. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

LOUIS BRANCH BOSTON TYPE FOUNDRY. f Some months since we announced through these columns that the Boston Type Foundry had established a branch at St. Louis, with Mr. J. A. St Jobh as manager. This new enterprise we have seen spoken of in the highest terms by all who have bad dealing with it. and we now have before us a specimen of the type therefrom, which for durability, toughness of body and beauty ot finish, is not easily excelled. _ Furnishing good, hard type, not given to brlttle'ness, wo think Mr. St John will receive many orders from this sec tion of lowa. We advise printers about purchas ing, to send lor specimens of his type, and thus judge for themselves.— Otkaloota Retold. THE WORLDS INTERNAL REMEDY. JOHNSON’S BHEUMATIC COMPOUND AND BLOOD PURIFIER.
