The sermon OF the day WAS
preached by the Rev. Father Leray
After the first Gospel the Rcvcred
gentleman assembled the pulpit, and
having read from Ecclesiastics,
hap. Xiv, la. proceeded tc
deliver a mastery aud eloquent
discourse OH the life of ST. Patrick,
We regret that we arc Obliged 10
conine our report Of the rcvercn |
aud learned gentleman discourse
20 the following brief synopsis.
He said that there we're to hc
found In the history Of every ma
ZION, the names of men whu IN their
lays had made Themselves cele-
brated. and their memories immOr.
;al. either by the performance of
great deeds or the practice Of great
virtues. TO such names the people
Of all time have loOked(or mouels
for their guidance. Such men were
the true bcneiactors Of humanity.
But Of all the men who had disiiu-
guished themselves BY acts Of hero.
SIN and devotion, there was none
whosename was more universally
known, or more gratefully renGm-
bered than that OF the great ~, Pat
rick, whose feast yOu celebrate to-
day. No matter in what light we
view the life and character Of that
great aud glorious saint we fud in
u all the elements Ut greatness,
Born In France, aud of ltomaR pa
Ieutage, he was at an cary age, ia
ken captive TO Ireland by an Irish
chieftain. There he spent the days
Of his youth and early manhood IN
herdIng the flocks of his master.
During his captivity he learned the
language OF the Countrywide soft
and melOdions tongue OF the
Milesian - Cclts aud his
soul was filled with sadness at the
thought that 20 much oil manly
worth aud GOdiike intellect as
lie saw around him, was living in
ignorance Of heavens greatest
ruth, a knowledge of the true and
living God. His days were passed
in the performance OF his duty,
and in fasting and prayer, aud II
was while still there that he first
conceived the idea OF bringing the
light of christianity among the
people OF Ireland to show them
the way OF truth and the path Of
salvation. And thus like Joseph
Of old the captivity of Patrick
brought Joy to the people Of God.
After q sOjourn of several years in
Erin, Patrick succeeded In effect
ing his return to the continent. He
fret went 10 France and after
wards to Rome where he was con-
secrated Bishop, and when he was
sent with a mission to evangelize
the Irish people. The history Of
the world does not record any rev.
OlutiOn so sp~eedy-mOre complete
or more effectual than the CONVEX
sion Of ireland 70 christianity.
This conversion we cannot pre-
sumo to have been so speedily eff
feeted, other wise than by the IN
terpOsition of some special grace
from heaven. So thorough and
general was the conversion of Ire
land that even within his own life
time ST. Patrick saw Bishops con-
Iecrated to perpetuate HE worn
and temples and priests Of the liv'
ing God, by thousands,
The Irish were indebted to St
Patrick not only for their faith
but they also owe to him whaterel
was great, potable or viftuoue Il

veritable iron ore-has been discovered
in Cedar county. And that such is the
case, we have the word Of number Of
men of large experience in such deposits,
among them that of Mr.. Geo. Schmuck-
er, of this place. The ore was found in
the stone quarry of Messrs. Shearer l.
Gray, near the stone mill. 1t is said by
Mr.. Schumacher to be the richest kind of
ore known, and the specimens we have
seen look iron rusty enough to bear him
out in the assertion. Phe extent of the
deposit, which was found in clay rift
sandstone, has not yet been de-
velored, SO that it remains to be
shown whether or not we are to have an
iron mine among us.

run up to Deans poultry pen and listen
to the songsters of the barnyard. Ten
thousand Of them-turkeys, chickens,
ducks and geese, are in one pen, not a
very large one, and it is drawing it mild
to say that it presents a lively appear

quack quack there, and ten thousand
gobbles, quacks, clucks and Kisses, all
mingled in one pyramid of harmonious

over. work, loss Of rest and continued
mental strain. The room was we'll filled
at the time, and great excitement ensued
which was not lessened by the immedi-

CALKIN VS.. CALKIN.-Thes suit upon
the application of Sybil NJ. Calkin for
divorce from Charles NJ. Calkin, which
was commenced in the District Court on
Tuesday of last week, proved to he a
case of no little interest, judging, at
least, from the number who crowded
tho court room fuller on each succeeding
day to listen to its proceedings. 1t ap.
peared in evidence that tho plaintiff
married the defendant in 1864; that ac-
cording to her ideas of such things and
those of other witnesses, she was neither
well housed, we'll fed, well clothed or
we'll treated, until forbearance ceasing
to be virtue, she took refuge in her
fathers house, in this place, something
more than year ago. The defendant
was shown to be an economical man
q very economical man. Notwithstand-
ing this, during the honeymoon, and
through moon after moon, he provided
for the family plenty of meat and bread
stuff-the former salt pork and the latter
shorts and corn meal-only this and
nothing more. He had 100 acre farm
at no great distance from Iowa City; he
kept hundreds Of dollars-a good many.
hundreds-at interest; and he was 11f-
teen years finishing off the interior Of
his unpretending farm house. He sup
ported the gospel, too, for he once Dor
rowed from his wife Sc, which, at her
80 nfs II had ,ol
given her to purchase clothing for
which she was actually suffering, to do
nate to the cause of foreign missions-in
short, he was a very economical man.
He had plenty Of room (out DOORS to
keep his father in laws team when he
came on visit bringing his own pro-
visions); and the old gentleman easily
found box to feed his horses from (by
going into Iowa City after it). In con-
sideration of the visit of the old people,
he killed calf, mot the fatted one for
nothing was fat there), and that they
might partake of it in an economical
way-through the Charlottesville spread
the skin on the floor in the room where
they had retired for the night and piled
up the veal thereon. Oh! he was an
economical ulan, no doubt.
Submitting the evidence in the case
occupied until Saturday forenoon, after
which the argument for the plaintiff
was opened by E. Cook, Esq, of Daven.
port, Rush Clark, of Iowa City, occu-
pied the greater part ofthe afternoon in
addressing the jury in behalf of the de-
PENDANT. The case would have been
submitted to the jury Saturday evening
but for the unfortunate sickness of S. V.
Landt, who was taken dangerously i'll
just as he was commencing the closing
speech for the prosecution. This caus.
ed an adjournment to Monday A. NJ,
when, on account Of Mr.. Landt's sick
ness, the pleading was closed by H. c.
Carr, Esq, aud the jury retired about
10 o'clock. A verdict for the plaintiff
was returned Tuesday afternoon, the
greater part Of the long time being con-
sumed, we are informed, in the effort of
one man to make the remaining
eleven believe they were all
fools. The order of the Court in relation
to the dispersion of the two children,
and the division Of the property, has
not yet been entered.

ISLANDER SUIT.-One of the most in.
teresting causes ever tried in Cedar
county is at present occupying the at
tention of the District Court. We refer
to the case Of James McQuin vs.. o. b.
button, claiming $4,000 damages for
SANDER. 1t was taken from Benton
county, where the parties live, to John
son county, and thence here.
Many of our readers win doubtless
remember seeing in some of the State
papers, an account of the preliminary
trial of the plaintiff in this suit for COM
plicity in the death of his step daughter
in-law's husband, Edwin +. Hodges,
which took place in Benton county a
year ago last summer, and resulted in
the acquittal of McQuin. It appears
that on the 25th of December, 1868,
Hodges was married to the step-daughter
of McQ. Immediately after the mar
rage Hodges begins TO complain Of in
disposition, and upon the sth of January
following, he suddenly dies. After
being buried, suspicious circumstances
led to the exhumation of the body, and
a chemical analysis of the stomach,
which developed the presence of strych-
nine in sufficient quantity to hav.
caused death. Hodges lived at McQuin's
from his marriage till his death, and
it is out of language said to have
been used by Button in relation to that
death, and the sudden death Of McQuin' 8
messmate in California years before,
and of his first wife, that the present
case has grown. The talk in regard 10
the Hodges affair also includes the init :.
nation of improper relations between
McQuin and the step daughter who was
married from his house.
Mr.. McQuin has represented Benton
county in the Legislature, has for years
been a member, and is at the present
time member elect, of the Board OF
Supervisors; and the affair of the death
of Hodges and subsequent trial of Moo.
created intense excitement in that COM
munity, which has not yet fully abated
and which the present litigation bids
fair to revive.
