A Beautiful Poem.

@- The Poem which we publish this
week on our first page, first appeared in
the Springfield Republican, anonymously,
more than year ago. 1t was extensively
copied at that time, and is being so again.
The epubli can recently republished it,
with the following notice
COVER THE RIVER" AND ITS AUTHOR.
The public admiration of the beautiful
lines lover the River" first published
in the Republican in August, 1857, and
the enquiry as to their origin have not
yet ceased. We meet the little poem
and the query as to where it came
from, among our exchanges. almost daily /;
but not only till now have we felt at lib
erty to unveil the anonymousness which
it has heretofore borne. Lizzie Lin
coln," over which signature the poem
was contributed to the Republican, is a
young lMy of Hinsdale, N. H., whose
real name is Nancie A. w. Priest. That
she has a real genius her writings sufi
GENTLY evidence; but its character and
the public appreciation of it are increased
by the facts that her education has been
that of only a country district school, :"
and that for three years past she has
worked, for self-support, in i" the mill, ,"
from daylight till dark. She is now, at
% years of age, struggling against the
adventurous circumstances of her posi-
ton, to fit herself for teacher. The
thousands who have been touched by the
high poetic expression, as well as the
marked sweetness and strength of her
productions, will sympathise with her
warnings and efforts, and watch the
promising career with hope and interest.
The mind capable of producing cover
the River" under such circumstances,
is not and should not be content with a
single victory.

SINGULAR EFFEcT-A beer loving

He pulled his hair, smote his bread bas-

committed suicide, first writing note in
German to his tickle, but not frail fair

the next day he took ten grains and wrote

and the next day he took fifteen grains
and wrote another letter to Katrina. But
that failed to kill him, and the next day

After a good deal of discussion as to
the necessity or usefulness of these print

paying for them out of the county treas

Mr.. GOULD moved that the bill for adj
vertising be allowed. Motion adopted.
Mr.. OGDEN moved that the Superin-
tendent be not allowed any additional
salary beyond that fixed by law.
The motion was debated by Messrs
OGDEN, KNIGHT, GOULD, Hoover and
McCAUGHEY in the affirmative, and
Messrs. FONDA and MELRosE in the neg.

salary fixed at $3.50. Mr.. OGDEN's mo-
ton was adopted, whereupon the Board
adjourned.

The Superintendent likewise informed
the Board that the Board of Education
had taken away the major part of the du-
ties which the old law laid upon the
Board of Presidents, and that they had
nothing to do but to fix the County Su-
perintendent's salary. He stated that he
did not expect that they would put that
at larger sum than the law itself pro-
vided for. He did not ask it, and, in
deed, he did not know that they would
be doing right to grant him more. His
term of office would expire in October,
and perhaps they might deem it proper
to give his successor more than this,
inasmuch as the amount of labor to be
performed by the Superintendent was
much greater in the latter than in the
first part of the year. He suggested
that such a distinction might be made
between the first and last halves of the
year, and said it certainly was worth
double us much 10 visit the winter schools
as it was the summer ones.
The new School law re quires that he
should attend at his office on the last
Saturday of every month, to examine
teachers. This arrangement brought the
teachers in a body, and in order to give
them a proper examination, he found 1t
necessary to have printed questions. He
had procured number Of lists of these
questions at the Civilian Office, the cost
of which was $40. There were also two
bills Of $3.50 each. for advertising in the
Guardian and Cipilian, notice to teach
ers in reference to examinations. The
County Judge had refused to audit these
bills, on the ground that, with a salary
Five Hundred Dollars, he thought the
superintendent should pay all his expen-
ses. The Judge had expressed a wiling
ness, however, to allow all necessary ex-
oenditures if the salary was fixed at the
sum provided by law, and the Superin-
endent wished the Board to say whether

Dubuque s. Pacific Railroad Lands.

We have some good news concerning
the Dubuque d. Pacific Railroad. It
will be seen by an advertisement that
$50, 400 acres of the lands granted to this
company, are to be offered for sale, in
New York and Dubuque, on the 9th day
of June next.
Plats of the lands have been prepared
for reference, and descriptive lists with
prices attached, will soon be published
and distributed. The land grant con-
struction bonds of the company will be
received at par, in payment for the farm
ing lands as well as the town lots offer
ed for sale. This will no doubt retire at
an early day the whole of the floating debt
incurred for constructing the road thus
far. These debts have been perhaps the
greatest obstacle in the way of continu-
ing the work, and have injured the credit
of the company here and abroad more
than any other cause. The Trustees of
these lands, T. Schuchardt, w. w. Ham
ilton and Plat Smith, have spared no
pains to procure perfect descriptions of the
lands, such as may be relied upon by per-
sons who purchase without personal ex-
animation.
There will be many advantages arising
from the offer of these lands for SALE
Emigration will be again attracted to
Iowa, and settlements along the line of
the road all the way to Sioux City, will
be increased during the summer. The
work upon the road will probably be re-
sumed in few weeks, and additional
business on that account will be made
tributary to Dubuque. Our City is now
losing large amount of trade of some
of the counties westward, for want of the
extension of this road. 1t is matter of
regret that arrangements have not been
made before, for the sale of portion oil
these lands, but with the reviving of bet
ter times, and the additional attraction
to emigrants now offered we may look
with confidence for renewed prosperity
in the northern half of our State-Sun.
