A New Ally. in the Cause.

.E.. HMg&aEE-.
The following is an extract from a
letter written by Bishop Loras, TO the
Boston Pilot:
1--WE request you, also sir, for the in.
terest of our holy religion, and for the
temporal and eternal welfare ofthe Cath.
olics, for whom you shall have to a answer
at the bar of the tribunal of God, to use
publicly and privately all arguments in
yonr power TO persuade them to vote on
the lsiS Monday of next April, in favor
of the Iora Liquor Lar. This last
measure may appear Objectionable to
some persons, but they mus; bear in
mind that We are most unjustly accused
Of being careless about enforcing The
practice of the holy virtue of temperance;
and that if we do not avail ourselves of
this favorable opportunity 20 show our
great esteem for anything that may count
eract the heinous crime of mtemperance,
as this Liqour law may do, we shall UNI
doubleday supply our enemies with some
pretext to belieseus to be Guilty.
In conclusion, we give, from the bot
tom of our heart, to you, Rev. dear sir.
and to all our children in Christ, the Ep-
iscopal benediclion.

Elsewhere in this number, we give
statistics Of our population. wealth. in.
crease, &C., such as can be found reliable.
We trust this rapid sketch of one of the
youngest members Of our great confede-
racy will be found satisfactory to the
many enquirers who have called upon US
for Information on This subject. 1t is
necessarily general, when attempting to
describe so large an area of country, and
is written with a desire to speak both
~caudidIy and truihfully.
Wha. our State wants above all things
is populaion-MEN. The professions
are already overstocked here, and we on
want The man of sinews and hard
hands, prepared to hew his way to for
u through discourgements. Such
men we never knew to fail here, though
many others have done so. Our almost
5ound!ess praries but await the magic
touch Of industry to bear something rich
er far than beautiful. but valusless flew
crs,-to abound with golden grain and
luscious fruit. The people of Iowa are
as yet comparatively poor, for they have
been expanding all their esources in
Fsubduing the wilderness of nature
Houses have had to be built, lands 10
fence, roads to make and churches and
school houses to erec,-for all these a.
bound among US. Yet it is difficult /
predic. her destiny but few years hence,
or describe the vast demand which labor
is certain to find here for many years.
While the East is grooming with famine,
and embarrassed with a superabundance
OF idle hands; many almos. perishing for
want of work, every laborer, wen the
weakest and youngest, if bur willing and
industrious, finds a cordial reception
throughout the breadth of our land
Here is a field for labor which cannot
be overstocked for many long years.

AT the meeting of the North western

TO the Secretary a lis, Of such fruits, over
shis own name, as have been tested in his
ne'gtbprhood, and have proved positively
good" In compliance with this resolu.
lion, twenty-five members handed in
lists. These We published in our last vol
.ume. An examination of sthese lists,
with a view TO ascertain the relative. pop.
ulatiiy OF the different varieties of apples,
gives The following results. IL NAV be
proper TO state that of the twenty-five
members who reported, fourteen were
from Illinois, three from Iowa, two from
Indiana and three from Michigan.N The
numbers following the names in the list,
denote the number Of members WHO
recommended the variety.
Early Harvest, 30; Caroline June Ia;
Rawles' Janet l2; Sweet Bough, Ii;
Summer Queen 10; Vandevere, o;
Rambo, II; Rhode Island G~reening,

Golden Russell, 6; Newtowr Pippin
5.
This list comprises those only which
were recommended by no, less than five
OF the twenty two members. Many
other varieties were on three or four lis Is
such for instance, as Belmont, Tolman
Sweet, Jonathan, Jersey Sweet. North.
ern Spy, Gravenstein, Fall Wine, DO
mine. Willow Twig, Fullon,s Milan
Westfeld, Seek no further, Pomme Giles,
Roman Stem, Ladies' Sweet, &c. :
Ii is very evident, however, that al.
though the varieties selected by nearly
all the members-such as Early Harvest.
Swee, BougL, Carolina, June, Rawles'
Janet, Rsmbo. &c,-have proved be-
yond a doub. well adapted to this section,
yet the fact that many OF. the varieties
with low numbers are comparatively un.
known, renders the decision -unsatisfac-
tory as far as they are concerned. We
have not the slightest doub. but that a
mong these there are many destined to
be the most valuable and popular fruits
for western culture. In the meantime,
however, until they are well tested. our
liza above gives very important informa.
ton to persons who are about to plant in
that region. Those who have had 70
buy their experience dearly, can appre-
cia,e the value OF such hints as may be
gathered from the figures.
GThough many of the apples in the
above lis. are unknown to us. yet il is
positively certain here tina, Early Har.
vest. Caroline June. Sweet Bough, Van.
deyere. Rambo, Maiden's Blush, Spitzen.
bergh. Golden Russell and Winesap, are
excelientlruits in Iowa. if notelse where,
and tia. the trees thrive well and prove
to be be good bearers. These facts are
