felt the butt of the musket on the lower lett
corner touches the scroll work around the ig' |
ure %. and the hand of the female on the |

CiRcuLAg-Tbe undersigned Committee
appointed bv the citizens OF Fort Msdison,
having learned through the Chaplain and
Warden OF the Iowa Penitentisry. that the
Library %; said prison is very scaniy and in
complete the State having made no adequate
provision therefor. and Judging that the moral
and intellectual condition Of the prisoners
would BE- greatly improved by a fresh supply
of suitable reading matter, would appeal
through The medium of the Pulpit aud the
Press OF iowa for such donations of books As
our feluw>citiz may be willing TO make for
the purI Csc above indicated.
The restless and in some instances. acute
and inq, sitve minds OF the inmates Of PRS
ons, viii either be busted or will sink into
torpor or despair. Shall these minds be oc-
cupied with what is evil, or Whist is good
Shall they be starvedy Or supplied with
wholesome alimenl and exercise The gold
en- rule suggests the reply. The Bible is al.
ready furnished to most of the prisoners oil
our Peni'entiary, and whatever deficiency il
telt in this respect will probably sobn Ia
remedied by the American Bible Society.
And the study Of the Bible is duly and no,
uusuccessfuly urged upon the attention oil
those for whom We plead Yet such books as
Histories. Biographies, Memoirs, Iravs Is and
Miscellaneous reading Of moral aud reli-
gious character are highly desirable
few German books are also needed
Those uniting in this appeal are not acting
in the interest Of any particular deuomins
ton, and IN view Of the necessities of the
case, and The generosity manifested few
years ago IA answer 10 the application OF
Rev Mr.. thomas, former Chaplain. We
hope that our Suggestions will be cordially
received.
