families are concerned, herewith send you

pany. The company numbers one hundred
and seventy men and officers:
At meeting of the members of the Sd

and Brig. Gen. Bussey. Lieut.. Oslo II. Lyon
was appointed Treasurer. and the following
preamble and resolutions adopted:
WHEREAS, Many children are being left faith
erless i'm consequence of the Rebellion, we
feel that it devolves upon us, as it does upon
every patriotic American citizen, to assist in
providing an independent and honorable
home for the Orphans therefore
Resoired, That the association known as the
Iowa State Orphan Asylum is one worthy of
the consideration of every friend Of the sol
dier, and that in aiding it service will be rem
dered to the country and State, the magni
tude of which future generations only can de-
termine.
Resoired, That in using every effort in our
power for the education and maintenance of
the orphans of our comrades who have fallen
in the great struggle for American Liberty, we
but discharge a high and holy obligation in
some degree commensurate with the sacrifice
that made il necessary
Resoired, That the citizens of Iowa have our
heartfelt thanks for the exertions heretofore
made in behalf of an enterprise rejecting SO
much honor on themselves and setting an ex-
ample of benevolnce and Christianity to the
world
Resolred, That copy of these resolutions be
sent to Iowa papers for publication.

remarkable silver discovery in Meadow
Valley, Utah Territory, is announced by the
ST. Joseph Herald, which saws:

This valley Is 800 miles in a southerly di-
reetion from Great Salt Lake City, and about
100 miles from the head of navigation on the
Colorado river. The silver mines located here
are of incalculable value, the ore being so rich
as to be malleable under the hammer. Assays
made in San Francisco, Salt Lake City, and
New York, prove it to be worth more than the
famous Washoe lodes."

THE Future OF GEoRGIA.-From pres
net appearances it is evident that Geor-
gia is net mindless eff her great interests,
and does not intend to injure her polit
cal aud commercial prospects by uuneces-
sary delays. The people Of that State
are alive to their advantages, and evil
IDENTIFY intend to lead off in the work OF
reconstruction. Georgiuns assert that
their State never Voluntarily joined the
Confederaey and that the warning voice
of Alexander II. Stephens, in his memo.
rable speech in behalf of the Union, was
but the echo of public opinion throughout
the State. But not that Georgia can as.
sert and maintain her privileges she will
lose no time in doing so.
If we are not mistaken, the State Of
Georgia, in giving thus early evidence oil
her intention to reinstate herself ana re.
cover her commercial advantages, is lay
ing the foundation for condition oil
prosperity and strength far beyond what
she ever enjoyed before, or could ever
reasonably have hoped for under the old
system, even had no war temporarily
thrown her back. These apr earances in.
dictate, also. great commercial changes in
the direction o. Southern trade, aud we
shall not be surprised to find that a part
Of the immense productions of the West
aud Southwest will be diverted tr,m the
outlets of New Orleans and Mobile. to
pass over the more direct communications
which terminate in the seaports of Geor.
gia.-N. Y Ere Post.

How TO MAKE MILKERs.-No matter
what breed you have, something is neces-
sary to reach the highest success in rails
ing good mixers. Its great thing to
have good blood, whether it be Ayrshire,
Jersey, or Short Horn grades, but apart
from this important advantage, the course
Of treatment in raising d mixer is some.
what different from that in raising beef
animal, or an animal for labor.
The calf should be well fed and petted
while young. Well fed, to induce rap
id growth, SO as to enable the heifer to
come in early; petted, to make her gen.
tie and fond Of the presence of her keep
ers. Fondiing helps to create quiet
disposition, so important in 4 dairy COW,
and this education must begin when
young. For mixer We would have the
heiter come in at two years Old, aud if
she has been well kept, so as to have at
tanned good size, she is then old enough
to become COW. She will give more
milk for coming in early. 1t forms the
habit of giving milk and habit, you know
is sort of second nature. An older bull
is better. We use too many young bulls.
a three or four year old is far better as
stock getter than yearing, and many
prefer a five or six year old to any other.
After the heifr has come in, let her feed
be regular. Clover is preferred to all
others for the stall feed. A little oat
meal induces large flow Indian meal
is rather iattening. In bad weather, give
her clean airy stall.-MaSs. Plouyhman.

ever offered in the market, with or without Cog
Wheels.
This wonderful invention has become an indis-
pcusable comfort to housekeep crs. Clothes which
have the water pressed out by this machine wear
nearly twice "a long as when twisted and strained
by the usual hand wringing. In an ordinary New
England family it will pay for itself in four or
six months bv the saving in the and tear of
clothes in washing. 1t will wiring anything, from
lace collar to the largest bed quilt.
The following are tue sizes, and prices, usually
sold:

2 % with cog wheels, $50
The No. 2 is recommended as preferable to all
otters, as by the use of the cog wheels all strain

vented, besides the wringer itself will wear much
longer.
