The Gallant Iowans.

Iowa is a young State. but it is the
home of heroes. With the present war
she has begun a war history that yields
in splendor and honor to that of no
State in the Union, and no country on
the globe. Her sell is the birthplace OF
a new chivalry, and she has become the
mother Of a new race of heroes. Her
soldiers boast little, aud she has no in
dustrious penny-~-liner to boast tor
them. Her soldiers are as modest as
they are brave. They are not fierce
braggarts. They are as gentle and
trac,abic "a children.
But when the storm Of blood begins
they are the guiding and governing
heroes Of the tempest. Where the bar
vest Of death is to be reaped, they arc
the foremost of the reapers. Where a
perilous assault is to be made, somehow
Or other there is always an Iowa regi-
mcnt, or the wasted shadow of an Iowa
regiment, TO lead it. 1t was SO at Will
sons Greek; it was so ut Belmont i,
was 60 at Fort Dontlson it was SO at
Shiloh; it will ever be SO throughout
the v ar.
All our Western troops have been
heroes, but the Iowa troops have been
heroes among heroes. The "Iowa
First" "Iowa Second" "Iowa Fourth -
and "lows Seventh" are bodies OF men
who would have given an additional
iustre even to Thernopylm, Marathon,
Austerlitz, or Wagram, aud all Ame,i.
cans may be proud OF Iowa.-N. Louis

ACCURACY AND DURABILITY

these Scales are believed to be unequsled.
The following is an account OF the trial OF
Scales the Vermont State Fair, 1865:
Correct and reliable standards of measurement
bv weigh t. in the community, are only second in
value to correct principles Of dealing, and relia-
BILE currency. In view of this consideration,
tho recent trial Of hay-scales, Ut the State
Fair, asd its results are worthy Of note. We
premise BY rem,rkipg that, at tho State Fair 1t
Montpelier last year. two competitors on scales ap-
peared and after tho trial, the first premium was
am arded to Mr. John Howe, j., Of Brandon, for
hay-scales, of Strong 4 Ross patent and the q
to i. l. 4. Fairbanks 4 Co., Of st. Johnsbury.
The same parties met again in Burlington this
Fall prepared for thorough trial Of the respective
merits Of the scales the one party desiring to
retain its new -sminence, and the other deter
mined to regain the prize. thorough trial WAS
instituted. and the following were some Of the
severe tests applied Five tons Of railroad
iron were placsu upon the scales, and tho whole
mass moved FIRST to one side and then to the other
Of tho platform, and IN additional weight of 900
lbs, in 50 Id. weights was weighed while tho FIVE
tons occupied the various positions. Again 1000
lbs of iron were placed upon truck, and weighed
successfully on each Of the four corners o. tho
platform, and in the centre of it. Small weights,
Of from 2L lbs. to lbs. were then weighed.
Men were weighed, singlv and together, and sim
gle and aggregate weights we're compared to see
If there were any variations. We are assured by
one of the committee, before whom tho trial Was
made, that Strong 4 Ross scales exhibited sur
prising accuracy, through all the tests If this
vererial, while the other scales though correct in
many cases, did net show entire uniformity
throughout, especially. exhibiting variations OF
some consequence, when the heavy weights were
moved to the different corn rs of tho platforms.
The award Of . diploma. for the best hay-scales,
was accordingly made 10 Mr.. Howe.
