LADoRERs WANrED.-Lot Holmes, writing from
Marietta, Marshal county, Iowa, says

should be glad to welcome him in Central lows.
Many others would greet him, hoping the time
may speedily come when we may take some of our
anti.slavery friends by the hand, in their mission
in behalf o! the suffering bondmen, for which We
patiently wait, and in the mean time labor in our
small way, clearing away the brush ready for the
plow.
"Thino, truly, L. HOLINESS"
We publish the above as indicating the wants Of
abolitionists in Iowa, and also as tho bes, mssne

NORTHERN LUNATIC AssYLux.-We arc indebt.
ed to Jacob Heaton, Esq, one Of the Trustees Of
the Northern Lunatic ASYLUM, for u copy Of the
fourth annual report Of the Board of Trustees and
officers of this institution.
From this we learn that there were remaining in
the institution, Oct. 3lst, 1858, 1855 patients, Of
whom so were males and IS females. During the
year, &C have been discarged, recovered-3l males
and 35 femalas; Is discharged, improved. and 81
unimproved. The whole number Of admissions

these 247 have been dismissed, recovered. The
Superintendent report Of individual cases, furnish.
es many facts that will interest the general read.
er. We learn also that the three State Assylums
furnish altogether inadequate accommodation for
this class of patients resident in the State. MANY
are crowded into the county poor,houses and jails
without any adequate provision for their care or
comfort, (f course we are speaking of white pa
TENTS, as dusky ones cannot even 20 to the poor,
house. The county Jail is their only assylum).-
Humanity requires still larger provision for these
unfortunates. The Chaplain in his report, lahore
with what seems to us more zeal than success, 10
distinguish between insanity caused by religious
excitement and that produced by Spiriiualism.
The present management Of the institution We
believe to be in the hands of trustees thoroughly
devoted to its interest and who amidst many diff.
culties have effected an organization for it's imms.
date government full of promise for its future use,

my of the legislature in publishing the detailed
accounts OF this and other state institutions. Il
would be just as well for the public printer and
quite as amusing and instructive TO the general

EARNESTLY AT WoRK.-A lady writing us from
Gesuga county, sends a petition containing near
200 signers praying the Legislature to prohibi, all
kidnapping in the State. She will pardon 10 for
making an extract from her note accompanying
the petition, though it was not designed for publ.
cation. The petition has been forwarded to Co,
lumbus.
VI feel that l ought to apologize to you for troub,
ling you with this business, but l could not find q
suitable person that was willing to write to ,hs
Representative Of our district. The ministers Of
our place went against the petition as it is yorded.
tho they thought there might be one got up that
would not look quite 30 treasonaJle,) and conse.
quently many of the people were afraid to sign il
lest they should be acting the part of traitors. We
have concluded to send the petition to you, and
you con do as you think best about forwarding il
to the Legislature.
we are circulating q petition here on Woman's
Rights with good success. Even the ministers con.
descend to put their names to the one for the right
of property and the guardianship of children. but
withhold them from that for the right of suffrage
for women.
"We have formed a little Anti. Slavery Sewing
Circle in our neighborhood, and if we should DO
prosperous, you may hear from us again before the
year closes. .
with kind regard, 1 subscribe myself, yours
for the Right" -.
