A Great Success.
EF- The Northern Iowa Sanitary Fair
is certainly bound to be great success,
should the other sanitary organizations of
the district manifest a zeal approximating
TO that OF the Soldiers Aid Society Of
this place. Actively at work as it has been
for the past three years, giving constant
ly Of It's money, its time, and its stores,
to succor and aid our noble soldiers, this
new call upon its energies, finds it I'M
abated in its zealousness, unstinted in its
resources-finds il as fresh and hearty
in the work AS at first. The last meet.
ing. on Saturday night, at the Court
House, was grand success. Probably
not less than four hundred persons were
present and there was feasting, songs
and a general good time. Better yet,
there was an admirable manifestation of
liberality, aud the receipts from volun-
tary contributions were, we understand
over SlOO The ladies managed, with
consummate tact, TO get some S64 for
single cake, and yet had the cake left TO
donate TO the great fair in prospect.
That we call doing pretty well but then
the hearts of the people are in the
cause.
The Soldiers Friend Association, too,
we understand, though new organiza-
ton, is working actively and effectively in
The cause. For our part, we believe in
interesting every hand and head in the
work that can be made useful. If two
societies can do this better than one, lei
there be two. Only let there be good
feeling and genuine love for the cause.
We shall be glad ifa hearty and honest
desire for the good OF the soldier shall
yet prompt TO unity and harmony OF
effort,

LF- We hear Of great many i'm.
provements 10 be made in our town the
present season, some OF which have al,
ready been commenced. Even during
our short absence in mid winter, we find
much to note about town for the better.
There is not a dwelling house, nor a ia

occupied. We hear of quite number

PEELED 10 leave US. Fifty more dwelling
houses would scarcely satisfy the de.
mand, and we hope our capitalists will
do something, the present summer, TO
wards supplying this want. Property
holders are really injured by this state
OF things, and they should not allow ii
TO exist. We ought TO have convenien,
cies for all the population that comes to
us. We have town whose growth and
business prospects are sufficiently assur-
ed TO warrant the most liberal invest
ment. Independence is in the best of
repute abroad, and here at home all are
satisfied lhat there is TO be prosperous
future for Us as a town. Let us exercise
a liberal public policy. Let us add 10
the natural attractions of the place the
conveniencies OF good school houses.
good churches, good sidewalks, aud
whatever else we feel is needed. Ii will

Special Election.


EB- By reference 10 the notice in an
other column it will be seen that the
Board of Supervisors has directed the
holding of a Special Election on TUES,
DAY, the 10Th day of May next, to deter
mine the question whether the County
will borrow the sum Of $1,000 to repair
the loss to the County occasioned by the
late robbery OF lis Treasury, and whether
a special tax Of two and half mills on
the dollar shall be levied the present
year, for the payment of the proposed
loan. We apprehend that the Board has
decided this 10 be the best course 10 be
pursued under the circumstances, and
that the people vii vote "For the Loan. :"
Some metho will have to be adopted TO
meet the current expenses and outstand
ing indebtedness ofthe County, and prob.
ably it can b. better done this way ,han

New Churches.

New Churches.
Ew We presume there is no doubt
that the Catholic and Baptist Societies
of this village will both build new
church edifces the present year. We
understand from Rev. Father GosKER,
of the first society, that he has the lot
secured for the church, the brick con
tracted for, and will proceed as soon as
practicable with the church.
The Baptists have already a large
amount subscribed for the erection of a
new church, and the pastor, Mr. Fulton,
is we understand, meeting with success
in raising additional means at the East.
1t is very probable that the church will
be commenced, and we trust, finished,
the present year.

The Gold Excitement In New xor,

q NEW YORK, June 22.-The Commercials mo-
ney article says The gold market is in a
most excited condition The suspension of
public competition effected by the gold bill, has
thrown the trade directly into the hands of
speculatOrs, and they now make their own
prices, and have made I'D kituns use of their
prerogative. Itwas well known that large
short interest was compelled to settle its con
tracts for delivery of gold during to-day and to-
morrow, and the principal holders therefore
held back fora large advance. The pressure
of the shorts only increased the quotations
of holders, and the process continued until at
noon the brokers were paying 225 and selling
at 1856. The effect of this state of affairs has
been to suspend operations in foreign ex-
change. Drawers do not know what to ask,
and refuse to give any quotations. One large
firm in Nassau street are asking $15 to the
pound. At such rate there can be no offers.
