Northern Iowa Sanitary Fair.
Postponed to June 2lst.

Postponed to June 2lst.
A. b. F. Hildreth, Esq:
SIR The Northern Iowa Sanitary
Fair has assumed such proportions
that it has become necessary to erect
buildings expressly for the purpose,
consequently the Fair has been post
poned until the 2lst of June. Will
you please notice this change in your
next issue?
We also solicit continuance Of the
kindly favors of the press, which has
done SO much to arouse the people to
activity in this good cause. We can
not expect success, unless this matter
is kept constantly before the public by
the papers. The moment they cease
to agitate the subject, that moment
the whole affair will sink into insight
ficance in the eyes of the people.
With them the paper is their " oracle I"
We are almost daily in receipt of
contributions from the East through
the different departments of trade, as
you will perceive by the "Times of
this city. This fact should be an in
centive to our people to re-double their
efforts to make the Fair all that the
most sanguine hope. or expect. Trust
ing you will use your influence for
this end, l am
Yours Respectfully.

We have received printed circu-
lar signed by Gen. Wiltse and the
other officers of the Sanitary Fair,
which says:
The plan upon which we started
and design to carry forward our Fair,
is that of combination of County Fairs
1t is not Dubuque Fair, in which the
counties of Iowa cooperate, but a
Fair by the several counties of Iowa,
exhibiting at Dubuque. The design
is that the volunteers in the service
from particular county, may be able
to point to and claim the Fair of their
county with just as much certainty
and identity as though it had been a
county Fair, held within the limits of
their own county and exclusively con-
tributed to by the people of that
county.
"You desire as much as we do to
keep up and increase the effective
force of our army. The best way OF
doing this is by preventing sickness
OF such as are well, and, as far and
as quick as il possible. healing and
curing the 10000 sick and wounded
soldiers now in the hospitals. Hu.
manity and economy alike point to
these crowded hospitals as the place
from which to obtain recruits.
We must make the Fair an honor
to Iowa. The conduct of our boys in
the field has shed lustre upon our name.
Let tie result OF our Fair enable them
to hold their heads as high as can the
troops from other States"

The 1QQ.Usys Men.

Gov. Stone was at Davenport on
the 5th inst. When at Washington
he procured 10000 Enfield rifles and
had them promptly shipped to Daven.
port for the use of Iowa troops, and
also clothing and equipments for
10000 men. Gov. Stone, Ad. Gen.
Baker and others addressed large au-
diences at Davenport on the evenings
of the 4th and 5th, and it is reported
that at Davenport two companies will
soon be full. The enterprising and
patriotic merchants have signed an
agreement to reserve their situations
for such of their clerks and employ
ees as wish to enlist.
The recruiting for the one hundred
days service is going briskly on
throughout the State Of Iowa. De-
Witt has already raised full compa-
ny, and they elected their officers on
Saturday evening. In Dubuque they
have raised two companies, one man,
Capt. Mathews, alone raised seventy
three men. Let not Floyd county be
behind in this noble work. Remem-
Der that the term of service is short,
and that the order for the remainder
of the war, is short and quick"
The students of the State Universe
ty at Iowa City have raised full com.

vice, from their own number. Such
was the desire to enlist, that Presi.
dent Spencer was compelled to limit
the number of recruits from each class
by allotment.
Prof. Mexican and thirty students
of the Bowen Collegiate Institute en-
listed for the l00-days' service imme'

Gov. Stone received the following
telegram at Davenport. o few days

Gov. Stone: Thanks for
