The celebration in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the settlement of lowa, which took place in Burlington on the Ist inst., proved to be One of the greatest events of this kind which Over occurred in the West. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed, and the entire population of the city ' and the surrounding country, and the many . thousands of guests from all parts of the State, including even the remote't, seemed to unite in the one aim to make the day a successful one. The city, says a Burlington dispatch, woke up decorated in the most gorgeous manner. The business pari of town was literally covered with the < a.tonal t- ilors and ornaments of verdure. A large number of banners were hung across the streets bearing inscriptions suggestive of >Qci’.eats of the past fifty years. It was particularly noticeable that not merely the business houses and publij buildings showed Lucir decorations, but that the residence part of the city was equally adorned. The number of strangers is estimated to have exceeded 20,i 0). Ail '.he railroads had issued half-fare ticke’s and the number of people present doubt ess-y exceeded that present at the great centennial cc ei.ration in Iftßi. The exercises were opened with fiee-a;f from several of the church ste pips, upon which followed a parade of the i ire Department and a subsequent exhibition of the water works of the city. Bands played at all the prominentpla esin the city duriug the forenoon, which wa- mos ly spent in sight-seeing and the»vis.ting of friends, < tc. The great parade of the day took plaee at 1 o'clock, and rr ved one of the most notable features. The march began after fifty guns had been fired in indication of the fiftieth occurrence of the day, and moved through the principal streets to the pubho park . The procession was about a mile m length, and almost every single society had their own music corps. Arm ed at the park, where an immense cro\A d had already gathered, the pro essioh divided around three speakers' stands which had been erected and very tastefully ornamented, and the exercises then took place. The Hon. A C. Dodge, son of Henry Dodge, the first Governor of Wiscons n Territory, and first Senator from the State of lowa to I the United St .tes Senate, one of the oldest I inhabitants of the State, in the name < f the I city of Burlington, addressed the visitors, and extended to them a warm and hearty welcome, which was received with enthusi- * astic applause. I The orator of the day, the Hon John H. Craig, of Keokuk, lowa, was then introduced, i and delivered a masterly address, holding bis hearers intensely, interested for more than ! two hours. I He was followed by the Hon. George M. • Jones, the colleague of Gen. Dodge in the i United States Senate when the State was first admitted, and by Prof. Par win, of lowa City, xvho entertained the audience with reminiscences of the olden times. The following speakers also delivered ora.ions: The Hon. Wesley C. Hobbs, Thomas Hedge, Jr.. W. B. Culbertson, Dr. C. Cole, 1 the Hon. A. C. Adams, the Hon W. W. BelkI nap, the Hon. Judge Davis, of Lee county; John W. Burdette, Esq., Mr. George C. Duffield, of Keosajua; Col Sanger, of Des Moines; J. D. M. Hamilton, of Fort Madison, and H. M. Clark, of Wayne county.

PWashington dispatch.] The Civil Service Commissioners have resumed their work in Washington Dr. Gregory says that the different Commis ionera have been very successful in organizing ' boards of examiners in all the cities They ’ have called upon Postmasters and Customs , Collectors to designate for the work ckrks . ot si.flleient ed cation and of known probltn, and they have Jieen successful in securing pers nt* not only qualified for these places, but who are enthusiastic in ■ the work. Mr. Gregory says that, as ; tnat- ; ter of f ict. the postoffices in large cities are . conducted in great measure on civil-service now. The Postmasters, for the 1 most part, receive appropi iations for oarryl ing on their offices in bulk sums, and are required to employ the best men they can at 1 the >lo?vcst prices Dr. Gregory finds that the persons engaged in the postoftices and postal service are required to do > more laborious and exacting work than those of any other department of the public service, and receive less compensation. He comiders their pax- inadequate to the services rendered. The system of checks upon mistakes in the postoflice service he considers as ex- - cellent. and says that the country generally ’ very little appreciates the efficiency and value c£ thL branch of the service, lha readiness with whhh the officials in the leading ci : res everywhere 00-o; erated with ; th- (omm s - -Jon wa« veiy gra ifving. and inI dieates.

Partiottlars of a Horrible Collego Outrage at Earlville, Near Syracuse. Two Victims Inclosed in Barrels, the Inner Surface of Which Had Been Spiked. The Barrels Rolled Around the Hall and Down Stairs —The Town Terrorized. ITqlegrijjnfrqin Syracuse. N*X.l The Mudi.sou Uidversity and the Baptist' Theological 8.-miliary, where Bapifst ministers are turned out aimualiy, is located at Hamilton, a village about twenty milessouth of this city. The institutions have always been known as among the moral. Ha. ing has become a verv infrequent occurrence, which makes the cruel ami barbarous treatment of two of the students, last night, ajl the more to be deprecated. ! Ear v in the dnv it was decided by several of the students to haze two of their number belonging to the Sophomore class. About fiftv students were let into the secret, and a full line of procedure was deterininerl on. Two young men drove to Earlville, a village s x miles distant, and secured Felt Hall, assuring the owner that they were to have some harmle s exer<flae». common in college life, and would no: require any fire or lights. Th keys were therefore plac din their charge.' Suppers for fifty were also engaged at the hotel, to be served at 2 a. m. After the thv<r students who were to be haz d had retired their rooms were broken Open. They were then ru hlessly compelled to dress, arid were hound hand and f< ot and gagged. A close carriage was in waiting, and into this they were thrust, and the horses' heaz.lv turned toward Earlville. The larger part of the participants had gone in advance by carriages. They arrived at their destination about midnight, and immediately took charge of Felt HalL Two large barrels had previously been prepai ed for the occasion. Sharpened nails had been driven into them from the outside, so that they protruded nearly an inch on the interior. The two victims were placed in these barrels after the gags had been removed from their mouths The barrels were then headed up. The floor of the hall was wet down, and a small fire built in the center. Hie barrels were then rolled from one end of the hall to the other, and several times around and over the fire. Revolvers were tired and fire-crackers exploded. The terrible din had aroused several of the villagers, who assembled about the hall. The cries of the imprisoned young men could be heard above all the confusion. A constable demanded admission to the hall, but was threatened with viotenca He ungaliantiy retreated. The barrels were finally rolled down the stairs and into the street The heads were ku icked in and the two students liberated. They were more dead than alive, and presented a pitiable sight When the citizens offered to lend aid and call for a physician the firing of revolvers began a second time, and all were glad to retreat The young men’s cjoth ng was neatly torn frorir their bod'es, and the blood flowed from the wounds caused by their coming iu conta t with the sharpened nails. The briers were indignant over the interference of tile villagers broke even ■■■street. lamp in town, and dc-ttoyed other Valuable property. ; Isis alleged that nearly all of them were intoxicated. They left the town at 3 a in. without eating the supper. Tito young men who were so ■ ritelly tortured were taken with them. Both are very ill. The fatuity will hold a thorough investigation. They will also settle the damage done at Earlville, The wh-le affair h.s caused just indigtiation. The names of the students wiio were hazed are withheld for the pre ent. No such treatment has ever been heard <f iu lliis State The high character of the institution makes the night's work all the mote astonishing. A MOTHER’S CRIME.

Some months ago, however, the lamily phvslcian thought be noticed somptoms of insanity in Mrs. Douglas, and so mt'ormed the w, man’s husband and also her parents, but they saw nothing wrong in the woman's conduct, and paid little heed to what the doctor said. Last, evening Mrs. Douglas’ mother was to see her, remaining until about 9 o'clock, the children having been put to lied before she left. Report says she saw nothing iu her daughter's actions to cause any suspicion that she was net in her right mind, or entirely safe to leave alone I With her little children.

Henry Prvit, the only eye-witness to tKe killing* of Jacob Painter by Tfidmas >• son, died at Nashvßle, last week, which, leaves the State in a bad predicament, and gives Robinson a gleam of hope for his future freedom. lie was graft ted a hew trial by the Siipreme Court, and returned froth the State Prison South about three weeks ago. The following dicision will be read with interest, as bearing upon the subject of axl" vertising in Sunday papers: An injunction was applied for to restrain the Sheriff from selling property under an execution on the grounds that- the proper advertisements had not been published, unless those in a Sunday paper were included: and it was contended that those were not, legal notices. In this case, Shaw vs. Williams, the injunction was refused, and an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court of Indiana, who reversed the court below. Judge Elliott, in the opinion, said: a lt would certainly not be proper for the Sheriff to keep open' hia office Sunday for the transaction of ordinary business, or' to make sale or execution on that day, nor to go about th© country making ‘ levies on that day. Extraordinary' acts, or acts outside the usual or ordinary course of the business , of his office, may be done, because such act j capnot be justly regarded as done ia the discharge of his ordinary business. Advertising sales are not extraordinary acts, but i» one of the principal duties of his ordinary business. It would be strangely inconsistent to allow a sworu officer of the law to do an act within the linti of his ordinary ofi ticial business Sunday* and yet punish a ci-gar-seller or a vender of goods for transacting business on that day.

And what is rice like, anv- • how?” I “Like snow." ’ “Is rice cold like snow? And what • j is snow like, anyhow?” 1 “Snow is white, like a stork.” .
