mac River. The town is pleasantly situated on
the N. side, on the line of New Hampshire,

and vegetables which it plentifully yields. There
is some fine scenery in the town, particularly
around Pawtucket Falls, when the river is high.

Dubuque, Io., shire town of Dubuque co. Situ-
ated on the AV. bank of the Mississippi River,
about 80 miles N. E. from Iowa City, 454 miles
above St. Louis, and 338 below the Falls of St.
Anthony. It is 24 miles, by the Mississippi and
Fevre Rivers, from Galena. Dubuque, like Ga-
lena, is celebrated for its lead mines, the ore
being found in abundance within its corporate
limits, and for many miles around. This is, in-
deed, the commercial centre of the lead region.

Dubuque was originally settled by a French
half-breed of that name, who purchased his title
from the Indians. The town is built on a fine
table prairie, with picturesque bluffs in the rear,
some of which are adorned with princely man-
sions. The place is laid out with regularity,
and handsomely built. Among the churches, of
which there are several of the various denomi-
nations, there is a large stone Roman Catholic
cathedral. Its spacious brick warehouses, its
many stores and mechanic shops, its numerous
steamboats lading and unlading at the quays,
and the bustling activity of business in its streets,
sufficiently indicate that this place is now the
great commercial emporium of the country of
the Upper Mississippi. The Illinois Central
Railroad from Cairo, at the mouth of the Ohio,
will have its northern terminus on the opposite
side of the river, which will open a communi-
cation, at all seasons of the year, to the Gulf of
Mexico. There will soon be a continuous rail-
road route from this place to Chicago, and thence
to New York and Boston.

Dudley, Ms., AVorcester co. This town was
granted by the legislature in 1660. The grantees

was named in honor of Baul and William Dud-
