The second session commences Ist Mv,..
day in July and ends lst December.
The Trustees have succeeded in retain
ing the services Of MIR SAM'L. Nc.
CORMlCK, whose proficiency in teaching
is surpassed by few. Young men can
be thoroughly prepared to enter any OF
tue hgher insttutions of learning in the
Southern States. The Village is very
healthy, and there is not, at present a
grog shop or place where ardent spirits can
be obtained in it,
Boarding can be obtained in private fam.
lies at $40 per month.
The rates of tuition are the srme as
those in Academies throughout the State
The Academy building is now in com
plcte repairs.
The surrounding country will find here
advantages which will AZ least equal those
sf other places, and to our District are held
out such Inducements as We believe will oh.
rlate the necessity Of sending our young
men and boys abroad.

Obituary.

Died, on Monday morning the 10th last,
Mary Jane, my child, aged 9 months and
3 days
When the dew Of Heaven is falling,
Hnd all nature seems Ii MORN;
When is heard nought OF comm otion
And world in sleep is drowned;
Then sit beneath my window,
Gazing on the realms above
Where doth dwell my darling baby,
With her mother in Heaven above.
And | seem TO hear their voices,
Breathing comfort to my heart
Saving: husband, father, be not troubled
aFe shall meet no more to part.
d! It's sad to muse and beck00,
-, It's vain-tis vain to weep
Tears Of mine can never wake them,
From their cold and silent SLEEP.
Sleep, ah; no. they 10 not sumber,
Beneath the clod and clanmy sod,
Spirits ID the land Of glory
They are dwelling with their God.

The weekly north Iowa times. [volume] (McGregor, Iowa) 1857-1867, 1859-12-14

1t is stated that the Roman Catholics
throughout the world are about to contrib
ute, by general subscription, to raise the
sum Of half a million dollars per annum.-
The object is to maintain an army of suffi-
cient force in the States Of the Church, in
Italy, to sustain the temporal power of the
Pope against the desire Of his subjects to
enjoy the blessings Of popular sovereignty.
We presume this is q calumny. Itisprob-
ably statement disseminated for the pur-
pose of identifying, if possible, the Roman
Catholic faith with the support of arbitrary
political authority-for the purpose of max
ing it odious in the eyes of the great mass
of mankind who love freedom and believe
in the righteousness Of the cardinal princi-
Piles of self-govcrnment.
1t is natural enough for the Pope, in his
temporal capacity, to oppose as much as
any other sovereign the disme mberment of
his empire, and to endorse with as much re-
lutance the smallest abridgment Of his scep-
tered rights; but then it is quite as natural
for his subjects to yearn for the independ-
ence they witness in the enjoyment Of
others, and to conceive that they possess,
as well as their neighbors, an inherent right
to choose for themselves the kind of rule
and of rulers which they may deem best
suited to develope their latent elements Of
prosperity and happiness. The Roman
Catholics of this country, at least, can
hardly cavil with the Romagnese for enter
tanning such principles, and we do not be-
lieve they would under any circumstances.
We have better opinion of their demo-
cratic nd0ctrination. -,Sunday Times.

MISCELLANEOUS.
Our FOrenl0thers.

Our FOremothers.
We hear enough about our forefathers.
They were nice old fellows no doubt. Per-
feet bricks in their way. Good to work,
eat or fight Very we'll But where are
their companions-the "chums"-who,
rs their hclpmates urged them along >
Who worked and dclved for our forefath-
ers, brushed up their old clothes, and patch
ed their breeches? Who unpetticoated
themselves for the cause Of liberty? Who
nursed our foreiathers when sick, sang Yam
kee Doodle to their babies, who trained up
their boys? Our foremothers-who land
ed at James River, and came over in the
Mayfower and established the early settle
ments? Were there any women among
them +? One would think not. Our Yam
kee friends especially, make wonderful
talk about the Pilgrim Fathers who squat
ted on Plymoth Rock, and there is great
ado made over it every time they wish to
get up little enthusiasm on liberty, and
refresh themselves by growing over free
dom; and the chivalry of Virginia are not a
whit behind them, when they take notion
to vaunt themselves upon the glory and
greatness Of tn, Old Dominion and our
staid Pennsylvania Quakers too, like to
plume themselves slyly upon the merits
and doings of William Penn and his asso-
ciates; but with all the "blarney" so plen-
tifllly distributed on all sides, what do you
hear or gather about the foremothers p
Didn't they land on rock! Didn't they
encounter perils snd hardships? And af
ter all didn't they with their kind hearts
and warm arms sustain the tagging spirits
of their male companions, and keep the
stalwart, but chilly old forcfathers from
freezing to death, during those horrible cold
winters which some Of them had to shiver
through
Who ushered us into this world-our
forefathers Bah No indeed it was our
foremothcrs. Who nursed George Wash
ington, Anthony Wayne, Ben Franklin,
Isreal Putnam, and host of other wor-
thies whose names will live for ever, and
taught them to be men and patriots -
Didn't our foremothers. And who gives
them the credit they deserve! Nobody.
We have our monuments commemorate
ing-and our speeches, songs, toasts and
dinners celebrating the wonderful deeds of
our foresathers, but where are those in
honor of our foremothers ? We had bet
ter be getting them ready. We talk our
selves hoarse and write ourselves round
shouldered, while boiling over with enthu-
siasm about the nice things our forefathers
did, and yet nothing is said about our fore
mothers to whom many virtuous act and
brave deed may be ascribed, such as any
hero would be proud to own. Besides, we
forgot to remember that if it had not been
for our foremothers, we ourselves would
not be here to know and be proud Of what
or forefathers did.-Er.
