IMPORTANT IrEM-The Auditor oil
State, Mr.. Elliott, sends US a valuable
item of information. According to it
the number of children in the State in
1864 between FIVE aud twenty one years
! of age, was 28l, 939. The number in
1865 is 295 ,496-increase, IL, 400. The
amount Of interest collected on the choo
fund in 1864 was Sl35, 329 Is; 10 1865,
! Sl3S, S6O,S2, Amount of interest on
the fund delinquent in 1864. 1857, 400,
! IS; 10 1865, 1888 $50 4S. So it appears
that there are thirteen Thousand -four
hundred aud sixty nine more children in
the State than there were this lime las
year! What a prolific people! We pre-
sumo that Iowa presents the best induce
ments ia the world to obey submissiyely
the Divine injunction to "multiply and
replenish the earth!' It is no uncom
mon thing Tor one FAMILY to contain thir
teen children or more, with no diminu
