MuscAT1NE COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SoorETY
The Directors of the Muscatine County
Agricultural Society, are requested to meet at
the Court House, in the city Of Muscatine on
Saturday the Goth inst at 10 o'clock A. NJ,
to adopt premium list, and to appoint Su-
perintendents and Awarding Committees,
and to arrange all other things necessary for
holding County Fair next fall.
The Directors chosen in January 1860 are
still in Office. Though many of them never
attended meeting of the board, it is hoped
they will all be present at this meeting and
thereby show that they feel some interest in
the progress of agricultural and mechanical
pursuits in our county, that we may not be-
come subject to erision in the adjoining
counties, who hold regular annual fairs.
There will be at that time distribution of
Patent Office seeds, and few copies of Patent
Office reports on agriculture and reports of
the Iowa State Agricultural Society.
By order of the Executive Committee.

The 18th regiment has been formally &c.
cepted by the War Department. It has
900 men now in camp at Keokuk, and 200
more are on the way there.
"A man supposed to be named Frazier
and woman by the name Of King, travelling
together near Oentreville, Appanoose coun-
ty, were murdered in cold blood on the 9TH
inst S. A. King, husband Of the woman, is
supposed to have been the murderer. He
has not yet been arrested.
DEATH BY HYDRoPnoBlA.-Mr. Elias Fid-
dler, Of Oskaloosa, who was bitten by rabid
dog on the 22d ofFebruary, died Of hydro
phobia on Monday, the 7th inst, having, du-
ing three days previous to his death, passed
through the various stages of that dreadful
disease He leaves wife and several chill
dren.
Two WoMEN AND Boy DRowNED.-On
the evening of the 28th ult. Mrs. Carolina
Taylor, wife of Marcellus Taylor, of Volga
Township, Clayton county, with an adopted
Nm named Emmett, four years of age, and Ed
ma Amsden, a young lady nineteen years of
age, while returning from Garnavillo, and
attempting to Gloss Cedar Creek, were
turned out of the sleigh by the force Of the
water and drowned. Their bodies were not
found until next morning. ..-..f..
Maj. E. w. Rice of Oskalooss, has been
chosen Colonel of the 7th Iowa Infantry, in
place of Col. Lauman, who has recently been
commissioned Brigadier General. A petit
ton of the officers ofthe regiment has been pre-
sented to the Governor, recommending the
appointment of Maj. Rice as Colonel, and
doubtless ere this he has been commissioned.
Maj. Rice entered the regiment as a private,
and was commissioned Major at Cairo, and
afterwards distinguished himself for self.pos
session and bravery at Belmont. He is quite
a young man, and in every way worthy
his growing honors.

agent sent at once to render such assistance to
the wounded soldiers as he might deem best.
He has senta dispatch for two nurses and they

The Merrinac out Again.

On the 18th inst. the rebel steamer Merri-
mac came out of Norfolk harbor, followed by
six other gun boats. The fctilla turned up
James river, and captured two small briggs
and schooner anchored near the shore,
about two miles from Newport News point
Three shots were fred by the Merrimac in
the direction of Hampton Creek. The Nau.
gatuck and Octorora, which had been station
ed in that vicinity, replied with number Of
shots, all of which fell near the rebel feet
The whole rebel feet, led by the Merrimac
thea returned to the Elizabeth river. The
water was too shoal to admit of an attack o.
the Merrimac by the Monitor.
