short discussion of panels involved,
Judge Fisher decided to release the
prisoner on two grounds VIZ
First, Because Virginia Is not a
State 10 the Union; that the procla-
nation by the President, and more
particularly Congress, by its legisla-
ton, have expressly refused to recog-
Dize Virginia and other Southern
States as forming States of this Union;
that the requisition of Gov. Pierpont
cannot be recognized under the act Of
Congress providing for the rendition
of fugitives from justice, as an act Of
the executive authority Of State of
the United States.
Second, That there is no affidavit
with the requisition showing that
Strong is really a fugitive from justice
The President and Secretary Sew
ard received dispatches from Cyrus
w. Field to-day with greetings of the
Telegraph Banquet in London. APP
propriate replies were forwarded.
It appears that the Senate Finance
Committee merely consented to Hen
derson' sreporting his bill for the in

c. o. DIN pretty village near Boston,
a love of little Episcopal chapel having
just been finished, n benevolent parishion-
err sent off to a "proper authority" in very
ecclesiastical city, an order for new sur
plico of whitest, finest lawn, as present to
the church. The vestment arrived, and so
did the officiating minister; who donning
the delicate fabric, was a little mysti6ed at
some extra embroidery across the neck
band, which in his reverential mood he de-
ciphered as containing the letters-'G. o. D.
Just what might be the symbolism of this,
did not at once occur to him; but thinking
that some enthusiast had struck a fresh
vein ofapostolic and decorative art, he went
through the service. Leaving the church
with the benevolent parishioner aforesaid,
this gentleman asked the clergyman if he
noticed anything unusual about the sur
plice he had worn. "Yes," said the other,
81 noticed the name of the Supreme Being
embroidered ON the collar, and could not
quite understand exactly what il was for"
"Oh," rejoined the donor, "that was blum
der of the marker l ordered him to mark
the parcel when he sent it, C. o. ID. leash on
delivery and the fool went and put these
letters, which you see, on the robe itself"

IOTI.I.

We CLEAN from the correspondence of the
Agricultural Department the following facts
in relation to this vigorous State:-
Returns from a majority of the counties
show that the value of farming lands has
increased since the census of 1860 rs per
cent In many counties lands are held at
IS per acre, that are capable Of producing
from 60 to 100 bushels of corn or from 20 to
40 bushels of wheat.
OF the mineral resources of Iowa, coal is
the most abundant and valuable. This is
wonderful provision for prairie country
deficient in wood and timber. Coal is said
to underlie a territory of not less than 90
900 square miles. The Iowa river runs near
the eastern boundary Of these deposits. 1t
is upwards of 200 miles across the great coal
fields. The beds are of immense thickness,
sometimes 100 feet, and lying near the sur
face, can be worked at small expense. A
correspondent in Marion says, "There is a
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1868-07-24

sovonfeot vein of coal underlying nearly
the whole county, and in some parts 1t is 10
feet. The coal in this township will average
100000 cubic feet to the acre. Lead, zinc
and iron also exist in many counties.
The corn crop of 1866 reached over 81, OOO,-
900 bushels, and the wheat crop 1G,0O0,O 900
bushels. Weplough for wheat or inches,
SOW broadcast, harrow twice, and then let
it alone till harvest.
We depend chiefly on the prairie grasses.
In Monoma county we have n variety of
wild grass, covering thousands of acres,
yielding tons to the acre, claimed to be
equal to timothy or clover for wintering
cattle. Animals subsist upon the range five
or six months of the year, at the expense
only of herding and sailing. Cultivated
grasses last month longer, at an expense
of 81 to 81 per head, per month.-Ne,c Eng

F7.fR.ITER JOIF.v.

Should you meet farmer John in the city,
You'd call him country grcenhorn,
You might look upon him with pity,
Or perhaps with feeling of scorn.
His great heavy boots, minus backing,
His straw hat with wide, ample brim,
With gloves and with necktie both lacking,
And his bronzed face puzzled and grim.
The tops step aside as he passes,
And glance at their dainty, pinched feet,
And lisp their disgust to the lasses,
They happen to meet in the street.
OF come from the dust of the city,
Leave palace, and steeple, and dome,
Put by both your scorn and your pity,
Till you see good farmer Johns home.
Far back from the towns noise and hustle,
Where meadows and pastures are wide,
Where leaves on the apple-boughs rustic,
And comfort and pleasure abide,
Where acres with beauty lie teeming,
And promise large produce TO bring,
A pleasant white farmhouse is cleaning,
And farmer John reigns as its king.
How changed is his face as he nears it,
From that which he wore in the town.
A broad smile breaks over and clears it
From puzzled expression and frown.
His good wife stands ready to greet him
With smile that thrills thro' his heart,
And all are so happy to meet him;
Though only bright day apart.
His deep voice grows sweeter and lower,
AS baby-lips press his brown cheek;
He is happy, he asks for no more
He is loved, what more need he seekP
His boys and his girls are so merry,
The table so full and so white,
And all is so happy and CHEEKY,
He envies no ruler his might.
OF We, with your city notions,
There's something more precious & sweet
Than graceful and elegant motions
In walking the close, dusty street.
And farmer John, green as you call him,
So awkward and so coarsely clad,
Has had this great fortune befall him,
And his whole life is joyful and glad.
