AT the house Of her son-in.law, Elder S. A.
Bagley, in Upton, March 4th, 1854, Mrs. JENNA
p. l.. COLE aged 96 yrs, mo- and lG days
Mrs. COLE was born in Pelham, Mass, Jan
18th, 17GS. In early life she removed to Vt, and
was a member of the Congregational Church in
Sharon, Windsor Co., for So years. She came to
Iowa in Oct. 1851, was sick but four or five days
and died, literally, of old age, in the watchful
care of her youngest ghtcr-herselfa mother
and grandmother amongst us. Mrs. c. was
somewhat remarkable instance of a patient, qui
ct, and amiable old age; so much so as to secure
the love and respect Of all who knew her. She
was never peevish, or fretful, but calm, pleasant
and grateful to the end. -.
"And am glad that she has lived thus long,
And glad that she has gone to her reward;
Nor can deem that nature did her wrong,
Softly to discngage the vital cord.
For when her hand was palsied, and her eye
Dark with the mists Of age, it was her time to
die"
The funeral service was held at the Congreg
tionai Church, on Sabbath morning, tue rustic
preaching from John 6: 6s, "To whom shall w
go? Thou hast the words Of eternal life." c.

As some people profess to doubt whether The
contributions to Soldiers Aid Societies ever
reach their truo destination, the following, from
the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, may be of in.
terest, and not without encouragement to those
who have made efforts and sacrifices in that di.

A STORY OF THE SANITARY CoMMIs-
SION. How touching is this little story
of the nothcrly Scotchwoman, who, after
nursing into slow conva!esccncc her
wounded boy, was warned by the dimin-
ishiug contents of her purse that her Wis
it of love must close, yet feared to leave
him quite dependent upon ordinary hos
pi'al supplies, lest, as she said with the
pathos Of simplicity, che wouldn't be so
WE'LL A good Samaritan took her to q
s,orehousc where she might procure a
few last luxurics for the recovering hero:
"He ordered supply of sugar, tea,
soft crackers and canned fruit, then
chicken and oysters, then jelly and wine,
brandy, milk and under clothing, till the
basket was full As the earlier articles
nestled under its lids, her face was gl,w.
ing with satisfaction; but as the latter
lots arrived, she would draw him aside to
whisper that it was too much, really
she hadn': enough. money and when the
more expensive items came IRON the
shelves, tho shadow Of carne-tness which
clio med her counter anoe grew into one
of perplexity, her soul vibrating betwc
mothsr.y ycurniug for the lad on his bed
and the scant purse in her pocket, till,
slowly, and with great reluctance; she
began to return the costliest. Iiadnt
you ba,ter ask the price?' said her guide.
How much is it?' Nothing, replied the
storckccpcr 'Sir!' queried she, in the
utmost amazcmcnt, nothing for oil! this?
sMy good woman asked tire guide,
'have you Soldiers Aid Society in your
nsighl orhoo!?' Yes, Trey had, she be-
lon gcd to it herself. well, what DO you
suppose becomes of the garments you
make, and the fruit you put mp" She
hadn't thought,-she supposed they
went to the army,-but was evidently
bothered to know what connection there
could be between their aid society
and that basket. 'Thesc garments that
you sec came FROM your society, or other
societies just like yours; SO did these
boxes and barrels; that milk came from
New York; those fruits from Boston; that
wine was likely purchased with gold from
California; and it is al for sick soldiers,
your son as much as for any one else. -
This is the United States Sanitary Cou,-

sacres in Minnesota; and embellished with nun.
erous and diversified colored engrayings. In

FILL CP THE RANKs.-Now that the bounties
ere continued for another month, there Is no
good reason why our quota of volunteers should
not be at once filled up, and we believe that one
thing necessary to accomplish that desira lie OBJ
ject is the Offering Of bounties by The county,
While many. II not most OF the counties in Iowa
have been oIe ing bsunties to volunteers, Cedar
county has made no such offer, and the conse.
quence is that men are going from this county
Into other counties to enlist. Think oft. The
very men who are needed to fill Up the quota
Of this county are helping to fill the quotas OF
other counties. What VIII be the result of such
acourse Is easy to be scon. Orr county will be
drained of its able bodied men and cur quota
hot filled and and when the draft does come the
result will be that our county has furnished more
than its quota hut has no credit for it.
Let the Board Of Supervisors be called to geth
er and have them offer a reasonable bounty 10
volunteers. We cannot get them without, and i,
should not be said that cold Cedar" is behind
hand in this good work. Now Is the time to
save our credit and save ourselves from the draf,
Delays ARE dangerous.

DIABETES

Is disease of the stomach and liyer acting through
the kidneys and is without doubt, the most obsti-
nate disease, except Consumption, that affects the
human constitution. We have no space for discus
sing causes but will state that the effect Of the dis
ease is the conversion of the starchy principle Tor
vegetable portion Of the food) into sugar, which
stimulates the kidneys to excessive secretion of
water. Many persons suffer from this disease who
ignorant of it; that is they pass large quantities
during the day. and obliged TO get up from one to
fifteen or twenty times during the night. No notice
is taken Of it until their attention is called to the
large discharge Of water, and often when i is so far
advanced as to be beyond the control Of ordinary
remedies. Another symptom is the great thirst,
which, when the disease is fully established, is in
tolerable-thepdtient drinks constantly toithot be-
ing sdtf@ed; also dryness of the mouth cracking Of
the lips, sweet breath, in the advances cases.
and finally loss of appetite, emaciation, and the pa
tient gradually sinks from exhaustion.
CONSTITUTION WATER is, without doubt, the only
known remedy for didbetes, and we have as much
confidence that it is specific as we have that opium
will produce Sleep and truthfully say that it has
cured every case in which it has been used.
