Meeting of the University Trustees.

At the meeting of the Trustees OF
the University last week Judge Dill.

Rev. Bird and Mr. Cole were present
from abroad.
We understand they adopted meas.

as building committee President Spen-
Ger, Hon. Rush Clark, Gov. Kirkwood

u, S. Assessor.

We learn with unmixed pleasure that
Hon. Charles Pomeroy of Boonsboro,
has been appointed U. 8. Assessor to
succeed Delos Arnold, Esq, in this
Congressional District. We doubt very
much whether there is man in Iowa,
more deserving of first class appoint
ment from the Administration, than
MIR. Pomcroy. No man, certainly has
done more effecual service in the Union
ranks than he, and his excellent quail
ties of head and heart, and sterling in
tegrity of principle and habits ofindus-
try, designate him as one peculiarly
fitted for the responsibilities of the
most important trust. Worth is some
times appreciated and faithful service
rewarded oftener, however, are they
both unrequited, especially in politics.
The appointment of Charles Pomeroy
is case where merit was recognized
and to some extent rewarded. We I'M
derstand that Mr.. Pomeroy contem-

Female Clerks.

There are about 100 female clerks
employed in the Treasury Department,
and selected from almost all the States
in the Union. Many of them have
been rich, but are now poor. Many of
them arg young ladies, some are mar
ried Their chief business is in cut
ting and counting new legal tender
and National bank-notes, and in count
ing and destroying old ones. Their
pay is $40 per annum each, for about
six hours close work, per diem.
The situations are very pleasant, and
the Government is quite right in Civ
ing out this sort of work to women in
stead of men. The Superintendent
complain, we believe, only of too much
talk, which, if it is not ungallant to
say, must be put down to an infirmity
of the sex.

School Children of Iowa.

The State Register learns from Mr..
Elliott, Auditor of State, that the num-
Der of children in the State in 1864 be-
tween five and twenty-one years OF
age was, $3.50. The number in
1865 is 295, 496-increase, Is, AGO. The
amount of interest collected on the
school fund 1864 was $l35, $685. in
1865, $l3s, s6O,s2. Amount of inter
est on the fund delinquent in 1864.
1867, 4O0,75 in 1865, $3.50. $50, As.
So it appears that there are thirteen
thousand four hundred and sixty-nine
more children in the State than there
were this time last year ! We pre-
sumo that Iowa presents the best in
ducements in the world to obey sub
missively the Divine injunction to
multiply and replenish the earth 4"
1t is no uncommon thing for one fami-
ly to contain thirteen children or
more with no diminution Of surface in
dications. .... $685.

by far the largest stock of sheet mu-

and a more obliging and trustworthy
man would be hard to find There are
on his shelves at this present time
over $4,000 different pieces Of music,
and he is constantly increasing his
stock by additions of choice new pie
ces. Sheet music is Mr.. Higgins spe-
ciality, and with his capital and his
heart engaged in it, no wonder he
has built up so enviable reputation,
and SO extended business. He fills
orders, by mail, promptly and on most
reasonable terms. Try him, and you
