police officer, constable or marshal
shall kill or cause to be destroyed all
dogs going at large and not colIared
and registered according to the pro-
visions of this act +; officers shall re-
ceive TWENTY-FIVE cents for each dog

Of this act.
Section 10 provides that any officer
who shall neglect or refuse to perform
the duties imposed upon him by this
act, shall be punished by fine not

ton. The cost of registering is 81, 90

The Literary Monitor.

The students attending Mr.. Whit.
neys Normal School, in this town,
have published paper with the above
title, which is made up principally of
compositions written by them as rhe-
torical exercises at school. Although
the production of young minds, the
articles published in the Mopitor do
much credit to their authors, and in
some instances evince deep thought
and more than ordinary strength of
intellect.
Shielded by the untiring watchful-
ness Of our County Superintendent,
Mr.. J. c. Whitney, the cause of edu.
cation in Floyd county is making rap
id progress. and judging from the con-
tents Of the Monitor, we should say
that Excelsior" (onward and up
ward, must be the motto of tue many
young school teachers, both male and
female, whom he has taken under his
tutelage.

they have made a record for that
young State that will never fade. No
where have her men faltercd. No
where have they failed to claim the
post of danger: they have claimed il
because it is the post Of honor. Al

The Pittsburg Battle.

CEDAR FALL, April II, 1862.
Editor Charles City Intetiiyencer:
DEAR SIR:-Of course you have
seen more or less of the reports of the
fight at Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee,
though as yet we have no official re-
port of the battle. Mr.. Ball of this
place, from the Sd Regiment, Compa-
ny X, arrived here last evening, direct
from Pittsburg, and from him we
learn that seventeen of his Company
were more or less injured. Among
the number, regret to say, four were
from Floyd county, viz: V. r. Rider,
NJ. Adams, and n. ii. Monlton, wound
ed Slightly !; and A. Z. Brown of your
place was injured the first day of the
battle by shot through the lungs,
and died of his wound on Thursday
morning, on the boat, while on his
way down the river, when near Fort
Henry. and was left there in care of
kind friends. Mr.. Ball was with him
most of the time from the time Of his
injury till his death. He speaks Of
him in the highest terms, and as very
much respected by his company and
those who knew him. There were
nine wounded from here, and three
from Bremen county, to wit: F. NJ.
Tyrell and G. C. Moulton, wounded,
and G. w. Mowry, killed. The names
of all will be in our paper tomorrow,
and we hope further particulars by
the mail this evening. Mr.. Ball, the
friend and companion of Mr.. Brown,
will, as soon as he is able, write to
the friends in your place and give
further particulars. In the mean time,
will You, sir, break the sad intelli
gence to the afflicted and assure them
of our sympathy, and the sympathy OF
all loyal and Union people in Iowa,
for the loss Of every brave and good
son that has been sent forth to battle
for the right aud put down the wicked
rebellion now raging in our land?
l am, sir, yours truly,
