SPECIAL NOTICE.

FoR FEMALEs-It is lamentable fact that
so large number of Females are afflicted with
Irregularities. either profuse or suppressed,
which rapidly and suerly undermine their
health, shorten their lives, and oft times render
them unfit for those duties in life for which an
all.wise Creator has formed them. This state Of
things need not exist when Dr.. WHEATlNG'
FEMALE REGULATING Pills are SO sure to
bring relief. They are composed OF materials
harmless to the most delicate constitution, bul
efficient in the highest degree in eradicating that
ira in Of diseases incident to the sex, originating
from irregularities. They are no Nostrum, but
claim for themselves virtues resulting from the
use of the most valued remedies prescribed by
the highest medical authority, Ancient or Mod
ern. Many Females give way to dependency
imagining themselves in a confirmed decllne.-
To such we would confidently recommend these
PILLS, believing if there is power in ANY
remedy to effects permanent cure, that blessing
will ensue from their use. They are manufac

CIRCULAR.
Location of the Iowa State Ag-
riCultural College and Farm.

Location of the Iowa State Ag-
ricultural College and Farm.
Office Of the Secretary Of the Board of Trustees,
ofthe Iowa Stale Agriculturat College and
Farm.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, June %, 1853.
The ninth Section Of the law providing for
the establishment of an Agricultural College
and Farm IN Iowa, requires the Board of Trus-
tees, "to select and purchase, not less than
six hundred and forty acres, for its use and
purposes" and the tehth section OF same law,
makes it the duty of the Board, ssto receive
proposals for sale Of lands for the use of said
College, before purchasing the same, and in
the purchase, that the price, location, quality
and variety of soil, advantages of water, tim
Der. stone, &c.. shall be considered"
The Board of Trustees are required TO hold
their first meeting at the Capitol of the State,
on the second Monday in January, 1859. To
secure the early location Of the College and
Farm, il is important that proposals for the
sale of lands, such as is pointed out by the law,
should be forwarded and prepared for the ac-
ton Of the Board, previous to that date. The
law makes no restriction in regard 20 the coun-
ty in which the lands shall be selected.
As the location of this institution is one Of
the greatest importance to the people of the
whole State, especially to those Of the county
which may be so fortunate as to be chosen, it
is expected that all who feel an interest in SEE
curing it, will not fail to present their claims.
There are individuals in several counties, who
have already rendered all the land required by
the act. without expense to the State, to in
duce its location therein. Itispresumed there
are many others will do the same, or donate
money to purchase land. Without pretending
to offer an opinion in regard to the probable
amount which would likely secure the favor
able action Of the Board, it is desirable that
every county may understand. that the ques-
ton is open to all the State, until such time a.
the Board shall deem proper to act upon the
proposals, which will, in all probability. be at
their first meeting, in January next-leaving it
for the several counties to make the best offers
their ability, liberality and the importance of
the object to them, and to the State may sug-
gest.
Parties who intend to propose to sell, or do
nate land for the purposes mentioned above,
must give full description of the same, as
required in the first paragraph of this circular,
and forward the same to this Office, previous
to the first day Of December next, that they
may be prepared for the action Of the Board.
On the back Of the envelope containing pro-
posal, should be written: ssProposal for State
Agricultural College and Farm" When do
nations of land or money are offered, good and
satisfactory names must accompany the pro-
position. w. ID. WILSON, Sec'y.
