The bridge has assumed mag nificent proportions, and is said to be the largest that has spanned the river since 1845. Indeed, some of the old est inhabitants claim that it is larger than all the ice-bridges of the past ten years put together. The great ex panse of ice begins at a point near the Horseshoe Falls ard extends down the gorge to the "Maid of the Mist" land ing, a distance of two miles. Its northernmost edge is within a few feet of the lower rapids. In places the ice is from twenty to fifty feet thick. —Bargains in Table Linens, Crashes, Towelings, Tickings and Sheetings, at L.

When she discovered that she was burned she hobbled into a neigh bor's house and made it known and a doctor was sent for, who came and dreßsed ber wounds.

You will be surprised to see the stock that J F. T. Stehle has in toys —baby dolls a specialty. —Since our last issue Mr. Brinker Ricbey, of this place, has lost two more of his children by that dreaded disease, diphtheria. A great many preventatives for diphtheria are recom mended, but the use of sulphur seems to be most preferred by the physicians. To fumigate your house with su'phur, place a few hot coals on a shovel, spriukle powdered sulphur on the coals, and then carry the shovel all through the house, from the cellar to the gar ret. Sulphur can also be taken intern ally, as a blood purifier, and it is .not a bad idea to have children, and grown people too, wear little bags under their clothing containing asafuetida and sulphur. Diphtheria is a terrible dis ease. People who have had experi ence with both it and small-pox, say that of the two they yrefer having small-pox in the family. —There will be some changes made in the locations of some our business firms on or about the first of next April. Johnny Grieb intends start ing a jewelry store in the room now occupied by Shaffer a-i a barber shop, and Shaffer is going into the Buchele building further up the street.

Patterson will continue the clothing business in one of the rooms of the Duffy building, now oc cupied by Heck & Patterson, and Al. Heck will continue the some businsss in the other room. The Scott Bros, are going into the room in the Vogeley House block, now occupied by Heck & Patterson as a branch store, and a new dry goods firm is going into that room. —The James boys were not the last of the train robbers. An express train on the Central Pacific road was at tacked a few dayß ago early in the morning, at a lonesome station 166 miles west of Ogden, called Montello, by a dozen masked robbers, who cap tured the train-men and locked them up in a tank-house. But when they approached the express car they were met by a fusilade from the plucky ex press messenger. A brisk firing was kept up for a time, aod the robbers finally retreated Such an issue in af fairs of this kind is more discouraging to highwaymen than the fate that overtook Jesse James. There is some romance in a death like bis; but a brave express messenger armed with a shot-gun is a sirong argument in favor of lettijg a train severely alone.

The heavy grade between Butler and Sunmit has always been considered dangerous for heavy trains coming this way, at auy sp;;ed. —Mrs. Tom. Moser, of this place, had the poor board of the borough ar rested last Saturday for not maintain ing her. With a certain class of peo ple, the poor boards of the different townships and boroughs, have a great deal of trouble, and those who are the least deserving are the most impudent and exacting.

V Smalley in the Febuary Cen tury, says: The consumption of beer in the camps of the railway builders is euormou3. At Bismark I sa# an en tire freight train of thirty cars la .en with bottled beer from a Chicago brew ery, bound for town nearest the end of the track. The chief engineer of the construction force said that an average of one bottle for every tie laid was con sumed, and that the tie and the beer co-t the same—fifty ceuts.

Bald Ridge Co.'s well, No. 10, on the Weber form, was rodded last Wed nesday and is pumping at the rate of 60 barrels per day. Their Huselton farm well is expected in this week. The Sullivan & Co. well was rodded last Saturday, but the pressure of the gas prevents the valves from working right. The tubing in the well will have to be removed and the salt water bailed out The well has already made some strong flows. The Dodds' farm well, Forest Oil Co.'s, is still doing about 400 barrels. She is said to have filled twenty-eight 250 barrel tanks in 13 days. Allowing 200 to the tank would make her doing over 400 barrels. The Wallace farm well, Philips Bro's, is doing 30 barrels per day. The exposure of the Patterson & Leedom fraud, in the Cherry Grove district, last Wednesday sent oil up to $1.05, but it was worth but 9G cents yesterday. When certain parties bought the privilege of making tnis well a mystery, paying therefor a good round price, no one thought they would be able to circumvent the little army of scouts known to be watching every move at the well, but they did, and a very pretty penny it cost tbem. They went, about their work with perfect recklessness as to expense, and hired enough men to guard it closely on all sides. They put coils of steam pipe in the tanks so that they could at any moment get up a cloud of steam and hide the rig from prying eyes. They did everything that ingenuity bred of long experience could suggest, and they kept the well a close secret as long as they could. StowelVs Petroleum Reporter has for a long time given a decidedly blue picture of the oil trade, but in its latest issue jqst to had it dealsin more roseate tints. In its review of last year's trade it says: "The last year has beon altogether the most extraordinary one in the historv of the oil business. It has ex hibited among other things these peculiar phases: "1. The large volume of daily pro duction. "2. The most sudden development of the richest pool ever discovered. "5. The largest and most sudden decline in daily production ever known. "We began the year with a daily production of about 76,000 barrels. By the opening of the Cherry Qrove field we increase this daily output in the month of July to 105,000 barrels, the largest daily production ever reached. In the month of July the Cherry Grove field yielded about 30,000 barrels daily, it then became defined and reached its height. From this time it began to de cline, first moderately, then rapidly, until the close of the year when its daily yield was less than 4,000 barrels. The general decline in daily yield, chiefly caused by the decline in Cherry Qrove, has continued until at the end of the year it reached 61,210 barrels. "The average daily production for the year was 82,000 barrels, so it will be seen that the production at the end of the year is considerably below the average of the year. The average daily shipments for the year were about 60,000 barrels. These shipments may be treated as entirely gone to con sumption, and in this view they fairly indicate the extent of consumption for the year. "The present daily average produc tion is nearer the daily average con sumption than it has been at auy time in the past five years. The conditions in the producing field have also under gone a phenomenal change during the year The Bradford and Ilichburg fields (which have been by far the largest in area and per.uanency that we have ever had) now exhibit unmistak able evidence of depletion and exhaus tion ; and the fewness of the new wells now drilling in these districts can only be accounted for by the fact that new ventures there do not promise to repay the investment. The only districts that can be looked to for supplying the trade f<;r the present year are the | Cooper tract district and the Grandin j lease in Forest county and the Bald Ridge district in Butler county ; but j these districts combined cannot from j their known character be expected to maintain the decline occasioned bv the depletion of Bradford and Ilichburg.

The prohibitory amendment to the State constitution, adopted by a popular vote last June, was declared invalid by the Supreme Court of lowa on Thurs day last, Judge Severs rendering the opinion. The case in which the dieif ion was rendered is entitled Kohler & Lang vs. Hill, from Davenport, The plaintiff sued Hill tor the .value of beer sold him. Hill admited th*j debt but pleaded that the constitutional amend ment forbade the sale of beer, wine and ale, and claimed exemption from the debt. The plaintiff amended Lis petition by declaring that the ameud ment was not in force, that the recrrd of the House of the Eighteenth Assem bly failed to show that it had pissed, and that the House measure ditfend from tbe amendment, as passed by the Senate, in form and substance: and further, that the subsequent action in the Nineteenth Assembly did not. and could not, cure the carelessness of the Eighteenth Assembly. The cause was tried by Judge Hayes, at Davenport, who gave a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed, and declared the amendment not in operation. The opinion rendered by Judge Severs is very long, and reviews fully the case and all the authorities bearing thereon. Many collateral issues were raised in the lower court, but have been dropped as immaterial. Severs says: "that while it is true that enrolled bills are laudmarks of ev idence, yet inasmuch as the lowa con stitution does not require amend ments to the constitution to be enroll ed as laws,legislative journals in this State are equally competent as evi dence as to the constitutionality of provisions as enrolled bills. In the case at bar the journal of the House of the Eighteenth Assembly does not show that the amendment was passed, and also that it varied in form and sub stance from the measure in the Senate. This being the case, the next Legisla ture could not correct the mistake of its predecessor, and the amendment falls." The dissent of Judge Beck is longer than the opinion. He takes the oppo site ground to the view above, and says, in addition that inasmuch as the people had elected the members of the Nineteenth Assembly on the issue of of the amendment, they themselves had cured the irregularities of the Eighteenth Assembly. Judge Beck also declares that the much mooted short publication of the Oskaloosa pa per to have been a substantial com pliance with the law. The case was beard by an audience that filled the Senate Chamber nearlv full. Second Lecture. We are authorized to announce that the lecture committee have arranged with Rev. J. Halstead Carrol, of Still water, Minnesota, to deliver a lecture, being the the second of the course, on Thursday evening, Feb. 15, 1883, in the Couit House; Subject, "The young man in chains." Dr. Carroll is spo ken of as the "rising orator" of the West, and has delivered this famous lecture in all the large cities, where it has been received with the greatest applause. In the city of New York, after his lecture had been delivered, the press rated him with Gough and Beep her. It is said of him that his gestures would be a study for an actor, and again, that his grace of manner is not seen in one among ten thousand; that he posesses such magnetism as enables him to move his audience al ternately to tears and laughter by his patnos and humor. The committee were only enabled to secure him from the fact that he will be passing to the East to fill engagements in the large cities—about the date above mention ed. W FALL A\l> HIMER. A.
