Il Visit from Capt. Smith.-Capt. j. B.
SMITH, Sd Iowa Regiment, Company X.
arrived in town on the evening of Thursday
the 18th, inst. He met with most hearty
reception from our citizens. The evening OF
his return was that upon which the Greys
hold their regular weekly meeting, and when
they came together committee was appoint.
cd to extend the Capt. an invitation to visit
them. The Capt. accepted, and forthwith pre-
scented himself. A large audience had con.
gregated to receive him, and upon his arrival
three laundering cheers went up for him,
again and ssain. Then he was requested
to give the news from the boys, which he
done. He said Company X. was the flower
of the Sd Regiment; that the boys were a
credit to themselves and the community
from which they came; that they were all
enthusiastic in their work, and had already
proved themselves courageous enough to
smell gun-powder without flinching. Pro
longed cheering followed his praise of the
boys He gave very clear and graphic
account of the battle at Monroe, in which
the boys were engaged. CA full account
from our excellent correspondent, UDoSono,
may be found elsewhere in this paper) The
Capt. confirmed the report that Lieut.. SEES
sIoNs had been promoted to the position OF
Adjutant of the Regiment, which was rcceiv-
ed with cheers for FlTz. Talking and cheer
ing was the order of exercises till near mid.
night when the meeting adjourned. The
Capt. left on Wednesday morning last to
join his Company. He was escorted to the
depot by the Greys and citizens, when Col.
SESSIONS, in behalf of the citizens, again bid
him goodbye. The Capt. responded, thank
ing the people Cedar Falls for their kindness
to him and to his company, saying that he
carried with him very substantial tokens of
esteem. (These tokens were probably, the
three large boxes and two trunks of presents
of every imaginable description, for the boys
from their many friends hereabout. AS
the cars moved off the air rung with cheers
for Capt. Smith and for his company. The
Capt. has left in town cannon ball which
bonded over his head at the engagement at
Monroe. We shall prize it as memento of
the first battle in which our boys took a
part, and Of their gallant commander so
loved and respected by all who know him.

That Benett.-The Icc-crcam Party at the
Horticultural Rooms last Friday evening
came off (after alcaSlion as advertised. TO
sum it right u ~ le9start, it was mscr-
able failure. The Exhibition, which was to
be creditablc, didn't amount to row of pins.
The attendance, which was to be large, was
decidedly slim. The benefit for the Society,
which was to be realized, didn't hardly APP
pear as such when the accounts were settled.
The individuals present were composed
mostly of such as wear hoops all others
amounting to somewhere near a dozen. The
Committee were rather disguised with the
state of affairs, and, after due deliberation,
directed the President to announce that there
were some five gallons Of ice-cream on hand,
which those so inclined could partake of to
their hearts content, without money and
thout price, after which announcement
several bashful boys who had been standing
outside the door, made bold to enter. Ice
cream acas abundant and cheap.
AS the evening waned, however, and the
nimble lily fingers of the village bellies ran
over the keys of a sweet-toned instrument,
which the committee had thoughtfully pro-
vided, the disappointment of some and the
observation-disclosures of others, vanished like
cloud and, as we sank back in our private
corner, watching the bellies and bcaux as
they took seat in some window to gaze at
the stars, or arm in arm walked up and down
the room we mentally exclaimed, "Verily.
KIRK WHITE, knew the power of song when
he wrote:

So the lassies whispered out their heart.
thoughts in melodies, and the ladies echoed
the sentiments in the ears of their fair CON-
panions. AS the ice-cream went of, the
sparkling went on. till midnight caused
moments reflection upon anxiously waiting
mothers; when doning their things they
suddenly departed from the Hall, out into
the pale moonlight of the Silly night.
Here our knowledge Of their proceedings ends.
The instrumental and vocal music of the
evening was one Of the redcening features
OF the occasion. Dr. BervooIt, who has been
stopping in town for few days lecturing on

4 Puftor the School Narms.--Last Fri
day the closing exercises ofthe public schools
took place. Our object in this notice is
chiefly to return thanks for personal favors
received on that day at the hands of the
teachers and scholars of the primary depart
ment. Friday afternoon we were startled by
timid tap at our office door, suspecting that
ladies might be asking admttance, We has
tened to answer the call. We opened the
door and beheld two quite youthful females,
the elder of which held out neat bundle of
something, remarking that it was from tho
school picnic, with the compliments of the
teachers and scholars. We thanked the lit
tie ones very kindly and invited them to en-
ter; but no, they FASTENED away. We i'm
mediately commenced an examination of the
bundle, speedily discovering that it was COM
posed Of cake, candy, nuts, &c. The first
thing that met our eye was huge dough.
nut, labeled "cure nervous headache; cure
all kinds of headache" an elegant extract
from SPALDrNG's pill advertisement and up
on turning it over we found the words,
"Poor little love,
Looks as meek as a dove"
We hardly knew how to take this; what
did it mean? that was the question. We
occupied short space of time in testing the
merits of the viands, and then proceeded with
our examination. We soon came across
something that caused a mingled feeling OF
JOY and surprise. 1t was sweet little heart,
with pin inserted in it attaching a little blue
ribbon, an emblem Of love. Was it to en-.
blematize the heart of the giver? Had Gu
pid been careleSsly shooting his arrows
around the primary department of our pub
lie schools? Had heart been pierced by
this short sighted god, and was the life-blood
ebbing? We could not answer; and wish
ing, if 'twere true, that it might not be any
of the dear lille girls who had been hit, we
laid the emblem on the shelf. For this kind
remembrance, which we cannot find it in our
heart to think was sent for newspaper
puff, we return our tender hearts most
hearty thanks to tie teachers-Miss MARY
BARNARD and Miss ALICE DooLITTLE-and to
the scholars, with the assurance that they
shall always be held in grateful remembrance,
and while the heart sends it's lfe-hood thro'
the veins of the writer shall occupy an hon
orable seat in his tabernacle of friendships
if nothing more.
