SEED WmEAr.--Mr. Ward Lampsou, Of
Fairfield, jefferson county, has borrowed
S 900. and sent to Wisconsin for seed
wheat, to supply the farmers of that county,
which seed he proposes to let them have at
cost. The idea is a good one and stamps
the author as one of natures noLlemen.
IDA CoUNrY.-The Sioux City Eagle states
that recent freshets swept off many of the
bridges in Ida county; but the people turn
ed out, under the direction Of the County
Judge, Hon. J. NJ. Moorehead, and in two
days time most of the streams were re.
bridged.
PLEASANT AFFAIR.-The students in Yves.

selves in the institution, were agreoabl y
surprised on the 10Th inst, to receive a
roasted shanghai, plus a nice cake, to each
mess-the ''chicken fxins" and good things
having been contributed by the citizens of
Western as q token of their good will to-

c-y-We learn from the Iowa City Repu5-
1caa that the publication of the Feice Of
Iopa, the educational journal of the State,
has been discontinued, though it viii probably
be revived, to exc out another sickly period
of existence. 1t seems remarkable that, after
the herculean efforts to bolster up this concern,
it is unable to stand alone We DO not regard
the fact, however, as any evidence that the
people of Iowa lack proper interest in edu-
cational matters 1t only shows that there is
no public demand for such an organ. All the
other periodicals in the State are more or less
devoted to the cause Of education, and have,
of course, pre-occupied the ground intended
exclusively for the Voice. No reasonable
man, we think, will object to this. The press,
whatever its creed or party prediction, ought
to be, and almost invariably is, an advocate
Unpopular education, morality and temperance.
Hence, newspapers devoted exclusively to
education or Temperance find but little to do,
and their efforts are poorly appreciated. In
short, they are not needed, and in this utili-
tartan age people are not in the habit of
spending their money for what they do not
want. The argument advanced at the last
session of the Legislature in favor Of an act
furnishing, at the expense of the State, copy
of the Voice Of Io,sa to each school district
namely, that the paper could not live without
such support ought to have killed the bill
outright If tho paper could not live on the
patronage of the people, twas strong evidence
that the people did not want it. We believe
in the good old motto -"Let every tub stand
on its own bottom" The people, as general
rule, have a just appreciation of the merits of
any enterprise appealing to their support, and
all efforts to force it upon them are contrary
to common prudence and will sooner or later
prove abortive.

MUS MARK II,I,

Under the influence of five OF six days of
fair weather, the close of last week witness
ed lively time on our streets and our mer-
chants did good trade. But Sunday night
a heavy rain fell, and Monday was dsa-
greeable day. The weather has been change
able since, with occasional snow and rain
squalls, which, added to the bad roads, has
had damaging effect on business. Our mer-
chants have mostly received their spring
stocks, and the market is well supplird with
all goods demanded by the trade
In grain scarcely anything is doing, the
roads being too bad for any to come in

WHAT SHALL BILLY WRIGHT HAVE p
Addison tells somewhere in the Spectator -
it being there, of course there can be no harm
in repeating 1.-THE story Of a girl who had
been a servant in a gentleman's house. She
discharges herself without cause assigned,
and when her late master meets her by acct
dent in the street, he asks what good luck has
befallen her, so smart her gown, so gay her
bonnet. ''Lawks, SIR was the reply, don't
you know | have been ruined ~ SO has the
late Senator Wright, of New Jersey. The
Nebraska Bill and Lecompton have undone
him. But he won't mind that. He will be

POPULATION OF DAVENPORT. A census
was taken of our neighooring city, last week,
to ascertain which class of cities it should be
reckoned with, according to law Of the last
Legislature making q distinction between
cities having more or less than $4,000 inhab-
itants. The census revealed the damaging
fact that tie population of the city is just
II, 400, instead of $4,000 or 10000, as has
been repeatedly trumpeted to the world during
the past two years as the population of the
Bridge City," This shows an immense COL
lapse Or an egregious mistake somehow in
footing up the returns heretofore. The papers
Of Davenport have not announced the result
of the late census, and we presume they will
not do so. We have the figures from a
private but reliable source.

DIED,


On the 9th inst, of lingering and complicat ed
illness, Mrs. JANE s. LORD, wife Of Richard Lord /,
in the 81 year OF age.
On the Esd inst, in Fairport, Muscatne county,
Iowa, Mrs. SARAH SPARKS wife of John Sparks,
aged SO years, IL months weeks and days-the
day of her interment being her 34th birthday.
Sorrow hath cast its shadow Ger our hearth,
Where naught but love and peace were wont
to dwell,
flushed are the tones ofjoyousness and mirth;
Alas that we tale of grief must tell,
Yet one hath fed-the mother of our band
To the far regions of the spirit land.
Her little ones wait in vain to greet
That mothers footsteps in that vacant place;
All, they no more her loving glance may meet,
For she hath flown from their warm love away.
They weep when told that mother sleeps in Jesus
now;
They press pure, soft kisses on her cold brow.
They bend and touch her warm and faded cheek,
And clasp her hand and wonder why it's chill,
They call her name and softly bid her speak
And tell them why she lies so cold and still,
And then they steal away with noiseless tread,
As though heavy step could wake the dead.
Father in Heaven look down upon our grief,
And send us strength our aching spirits crave;
Strength to rejoice that her earth-fe was brief,
And that she dwelleth now beyond the grave.
Oh give us grace! Thou great and glorious One,
In this sad hour to say, "Thy will be done?'

How To Do Ir.-There is good
seIse in the following advice to young
men and WON en-, which we find in an
article from the pen Of Grant Thor
burn, man Of ripe years and large
experience
There is nothing to be gained in
dangling for a twelve-month after a
sensible woman, talking unmeaning
stuf-words without wisdom. Tell her
your wish Hke man, and not like a
blubbering schoolboy. She will never
trife with your affections and if there
are three grains Of common sense in
your nsuck!e carcass, she will be your
own before month has passed. See
the history Of Rebekah, in Genesis
XIV, Sc. When Abraham's servant
had concluded the preliminary contract
with Mrs. Labah, on the part of her
daughter, to become the wife of Isaac,
the old man was anxious to get home,
to show his young master the bonny
lass he had brought him F.; the old lady
wished him to remain a few days, to
recruit himself and camels. He per-
sisting, it was finally referred to the
daughter. "We will call the damsel,
and inquire at her mouth" said the
mother. When Rebekah appeared, her
mother asked, "Wilt thou 60 with this
man % Rebekah replied, 81 will 60"
There's a noble girl for you. No
tear starting from her black eyes no
whining and simpering make-believe,
nor mock modesty; but what her heart
wished, her lips uttered. Like true
and honest maiden, she replied, Il will
CO." Now, young ladies', 60 and do
likewise. When the man whom you
prefer above all others in the world,
says, "Will you 60 with me pan
swer, 81 will 60"
By the bye, ladies, when you wish to
read most captivating love-story, one
that is true, simple and unsophisticated,
just read over the Oath chapter Of
Genesis.

Mr. DOUGLAS DECLINES. exchange
says that when Mr.. Douglas was recently
asked to consent to stand as candidate for
nomination at the Charleston Convention, he
declined On being pressed for reason, he
said: 'The Opposition are sure to succeed in
the next Presidential election" This bitter
confession of the ablest man in the Democratic
ranks gives us, in few words, the clearest
idea of the complete decentralization of the
Administration. Its power of evil is, COM
paratively speaking, at an end.
1t is generally conceded, in political circles,
that Douglas and Hunter have come to an
understanding, by which the latter is to have
the honor of being defeated by the Opposition
in 1S60-the former awaiting the chances of
1864. This opinion receives additional strength
from the fact that the last three candidates of
the Democracy have been taken from the
North, making the next due to the South.
The States, formerly a strong Douglas
paper, is now evidently under the control of
Hunter, with kindly feeling toward Douglas,
and the editor is Virginian of the Hunter
school. The silence of Hunter, during the
recent popular sovereignty. debate in the
Senate, is also considered ominous of the
aspirations of the Chairman of the Committee
on Finances. - Washington Republic.

e-The valiant Senator Brown of Mic.

81 The valiant Senator Brown, of Miss
issippi, said, in his Cuban speech in New
York, the other night, while ridiculing the
idea that England and France would dare
interfere to prevent our taking Cuba, "In
case of war with England and France, the
chances are that we should see the American
General hoist the stars and stripes over the
Tuilleries and the palace Of St. James" The
effect of this speech on the Paris Bourse must
be tremendous, to say the least.
