II will be rccollected that our notice
upon Rev +. Il. Fifeld's lecture here
a few weeks ago, was criticized with
some asperity. The lecturer has late
II been at Monticello, Jones County,
and the following notice Of those two
lectures VIC clip from the Anamosa
Eureka. We offer it as corroboraton
Of our own remarks.
II wish to speak OF them particular
ly because they were Of a character
calculated to foster and strengthen a
correct religious sentiment. Every
munster or man who loves God and
seeks the true interest Of man, would
find himself strengthened by the iuhu-
ence OF these lectures.
The first of these, How to Build
State was 4 strong, manly presenta-
ton Of the claims OF the religion Of the
Bible, and OF our educational system
to the consideration Of statesman and
citizen.

j. 4. Cowan, Of Lincoln, lost couple fat
hogs few days ago, anisupposing that they
had merely strayed away went with one of
his neighbors to look them up. After con-
siderable search, he came to the house of one
Claus llass. Mrs. Hass answered his knock
aud, IN response to his inquiry about the hogs,
said they had not been seen about there and
shut The door in his fare. This action, with the
smell Of fresh pork from the house, excited
his suspicious, and he pursued his investiga-
tons around The house, meeting Mr. IIass
who had bloody boots and hands tut was "not
6utchermg.@ Mr.. Cowan. however, continued
his explorations and found, through small
door III the house, two hogs, one dressed and
the cthor IN hot water, boil, Of which he was
sure was his. AIr. lLass, on being questioned,
said, first, that he had bought tie hogs Of /.
Camery; second, that he had stolen them from
Mr.. Jentzen, and, third, that he stole them
from Mr.. cowan. Mr., Hass flushed his hog
slaughter BY presenting to Mr.. Cowan, the
hog he had dressed and the value Of the one
not dressed. 1t is to be hoped chat lie will
learn tie value Of honesty in the future We
have good authority fer the above.

Society Meeting.

Our farmer friends who are the least in,
terested in the prosperity, or life Of the Tama
Comfy Agricultural Society, should renem>
Der that the Society holds an adjourned meet
ing, at the Court House, next Monday even
ing. The objects of the meeting are, to
amend the Constitution Of the Society, so that
the capital stock of the Society may be in.
creased beyond one thousand dollars, and to
take further action on the relocation of the
Fair Ground. To amend the Constitution. it
IS necessary that majority Of the stock be
present; therefore, the presence Of representa-
tiyes of sevonty>seyen shares viii be essens
tial. II is deemed, by the Society, that the
subscription Of more stock is needed to make
the Society success, and We earnestly hope
that all stock holders will consider it their
especial duty 10 be presen. on next Monday
evening and thus assist, howeve little in
placing the Society on better foundation
If an Agricultural Society is of any account,
at all it deserves that its members should
take enough interest in il to attend its meet
ings.

IL RoysD NeABERs-lt will be no
ticed by the Proceedings OF the Board
OF Supervisors, that a majority OF the
Board, voted that the new treasurer,
Mr.. Shatcr, be required 10 furnish sur
tiles to the amount Of one hundred
thousand dollars. The next day the
sum was reduced to $4,000. As $780,
600 had been the amount heretofore,
il seems to us chat Mr.. Skater was not
treated fairly II the object was to fix
the sum SO high that he would fail to
find hackers, it most slgnally failed,
and had the sum been fixed at hall a
million instead OF eighty thousand, it
would have been promptly furnished.
Hereafter We 90 tor eighty thousand
every time.-[Iama Citizen, Feb. 10.
4 few weeks ago the Citizen gave
the Board good scoldlrg because it
voted the County Superintendent four
dollars a day, and now it scolds again
because the Board fixed the Bonds OF
Of the Treasurer at $4,000. We have
no idea that the Board, as body, is as
illiheral as the Citizen supposes. The
bonds Of public servants handling the
money Of the people should be placed
in some degree corresponding to the
responsibility.
The amount OF money that will prob
ably pass through the hands Of the
Treasurer during the ensuing year is,
according to the levy, $4,000. In
1867 the amount was 500 900 and in
1868, ss5, 600.
1t will thus. be seen that the
amount OF the tax levy, this year, is
So, 700 over the levy OF last year,
while the Treasurer's bond is only
$4,000 higher than that year. II the
Board, by raising the amount OF the
Bond Of the Treasurer, did it in the IL
liberal spirit indicated BY the Citizen,
then the Board is ccasuraule; but, il it
did it m the exercise Of its discretion
for the best interests OF the County,
as we are satisfied ii did do 1t, then
there is no room for cavil.
