AID FOR BARNuM.-To put to some use the
Iowa crop of superannuated copperheads the
Harkeye saith:
q 1t will probably be sometime before Bar
mum can make good many of the rare animals
lost by the fire that destroyed his Museums
and until he is able to supply their places we
would suggest that very good substitutes could
be found in the Democratic party of this State
For instance, Clay Dean might represent the
hippopotamus in wild state; LIE Grand By
ngton barring his size, ditto a chameleon
old Thayer, of Muscatine, would make a very
good skunk while our own city could furnish
a giraffe as large as life. For the 9 What-is
TT we would pitch upon Rabbit, of the
Council Bluffs Bugle, and book Charles Ne.
gus as the learned pig. In the "wax 6gger'
line we would stand up Geo. W. Jones, OF
Dubuque, for Anpanias, and place Clagett
with a dress on, by his side for Sapphire.
Dam Miller would do up the dramatic as the
Ghost of Buster in the Hero of a Thousand
Headstalls," Summers, Patterson, Robb,
McHenry & Co., would make good monkeys
and snakes, and for awhile would do well
enough for a ''Happy Family" As the above
individuals are out of employment, we pre-
sumo Barnum could secure their services at q
low figure. 1t would do no harm for him te

to postpone the time for convening the above
named Convention. The time of holding the
Convention is therefore deferred from the second
Saturday in August to the last Saturday Of the
month. The Convention will then be held at the

ATTENTION, SOLDIERS The spirit and
reason Of the circular from Adjutant General
Baker, which appears elsewhere in our paper,
officers of Iowa, and will, doubtless, incite all
parties concerned to prompt attention to the
suggestions of the address. Gen. Baker is
unwearying in his labors, not only to pres
emily benefit and provide for the soldiers of
our State, but to keep full and bright the
record of their meritorious services. His
untiring industry in this line has long made
his Office the best conducted in the United
States.

CIRCULAR.
II is very important to the soldiers Of Iowa who
have been in the United States service during the
past four years. that their records in this Office
should be made as perfect as possible.
In some cases men have been credited to the
county from which they did not eni=t. was
compelled to follow the returns of companies and
regiments. Soldiers would frequently give post
Office address of another county Of their place of
enlistment, while their intention was to give the
nearest post-office address. This has, doubt not
led to injustice, and while cannot correct all the
errors of returns, / may make such notes on the
page of my rosters, will enable to aid sol
ders and families in the search of history, or Ger
tifcates, or evidence hereafter.
Wounded and sick soldiers have been sent home
on furlough and have died while at home. There
are cases where soldiers unable to move from their
sick beds have been reported deserters. In
most of these cases officers have been unable to
report anything as they have not been furnished
with any evidence Of the facts. In some cases
have not sufficient evidence to enable me even to
make a note of the facts which may hereafter
lead to important results.
Iowa soldiers have died out of the State ut resi-
dences of friends or relatives. l want the best
proof of DEATH and the cause and the date Of death
that can be furnished.
Many reported as ''missing in battle "pris-
4 onersn who have returned to their homes or who
have died in prisons or At home while absent from
their regiments have never been reported to this
Office anywhere else. In many cases reports
have been made by any officers to any Office, from
the lack of information by such officers who would
report if they had the facts.
Original rolls have been returned to this Office
with the names of towns only, where the company
was composed of men from two counties, and
where both counties have townships of the same
name. / want the name of county in which the
man resided at the time of enlistment. Names
have been misspelled, want all such cases cor
rected.
wish all County Clerks, all citizens and all re-
turned officers and soldiers to interest themselves
in these matters and give all the evidence and
information they have in their possession. My
reports for 1862, 1868 and 1854 will be found at
the County Seat Of each county. The report for
1864 will soon be delivered,
l would further ask that commanding officers of
regiments furnish this Office list of stations oc-
cupied and of battles in which regiments have
been engaged.
If cannot enter all these corrections as part
of my record, can make such entries rs win be
of great benefit to those most concerned, and shall
thereby furnish the links of evidence that will
enable thousands to be benefited by the iberality
of the Republic n. B. BAKER,
AdjutAnt General Of Iowa.
Editors of all papers in the State are requested
to insert the above once, at expense of State and
call editorial attention to the same.

remains hearty and robust in seasons when the

COUNTY FAIR. - Let our good people,
that the time of holding our County Fair is
not far distant. These Fairs, we believe have
not hitherto, for the most part been equal in
interest to similar occasions in neighboring
counties, nor have they been worthy our peo-
pie. There is no defensible reason for this.
Let the people determine to make the coming
Fair unsurpassed by any in the State 1t can
be done. We learn from Mr.. Pittman that
various and sundry Improvements are being
made to the grounds, and the officers are de-
termined to make, if possible, the coming ex-
hibition large success.
