OsKALoOsA ALL RIGHT.-Mr. Irish
returned from Oskaloosa Monday night,
and says that town is all right for the
Southwestern. They held an informal
meeting Saturday evening, at which the
leading men of the place were present,
and they readily appreciated the oppor"
tunity and some who have heretofore
opposed are ready to take hold and make
this a sure thing.
As there is no question about this
town voting the tax the whole thing
depends on Oskaloosa, and we have no
fears of her. This road will be worth
more to her than all the roads she now
has or that are projected. 1t will give
her the nearest possible route to Chica-
go and the east, and by company that
builds only first class roads, and runs
them in a first class manner. Iowa City
and Oskaloosa join hands III closing the
contract for this Great Road. They
were to have rousing meeting Monday
evening, when in addition to the men
from here, Mr.. Grinnell and gentlemen
from Des Moines were to be present.
Des Moines will wake up to this enter

Poor HousE.-The County having
purchased farm as the first step to-
ward making a home for It's paupers, is
now taking the preliminary measures
for erecting thereon suitable buildings
for their accommodation. In doing this
the necessities of proper care for the un-
fortunate class who must occupy the
house will no doubt be fully considered
in its plan; and the great risk-greatcr
than in building for almost any other
purpose-of fire, will govern the selec-
ton of the material from which it Is
built. A good, convenient, commodious,
and 30 far as practicable, fire. proof, Poor
House will be economy In the long run;

the present kind of a building, which is
almost sure to burn down within three
years, will be extravaganza.

PRINT Nc OFFICE AT WEST BRANCH.
I-Messrs. Craighead & Russell, of Cedar
county, have established job Printing
Office at the above named place, and
propose hereafter to devote their time
and attention to the building up of a
&good trade, and meeting the demands of

tion, and the ctzens upon securing the

success attend them Vest Liberty En-

We suppose the firm above alluded to
must run stone quarry in connection
with job Office, from the fact that
when the senior member left this office
bitter weeks devilshir, he said that "a
printing Office was no place for him, he
WAS going home to work in the stone

businesses he may be able to avoid

THE ENTERTAINMENT.- Exhibit
ton, or Literary Entertainment, as it
was called, given by the members of the
Temperance Sociable Society on Thurs
day and Friday evenings Of last week
was financial success. Considering
the short time they had for rehearsal, We
think the majority Of their plays were
pretty we'll performed. The net pro-
ceeds of the two evenings was upwards
of $50, which will materially assist the
Good Templars in furnishing their hail
The exercises Of the evenings seemed
to interest and amuse the audience and
some Of the music was particularly ap.
probable. Though not disposed to crit.
icize AL amateur performance, We must
say that more careful memorzing aud
rehearsal would have been very fortu-
nate for some Of the dramatic efforts.
The members of the Society giving the
Entertainments, by resolution returned
their thanks to the ladies and gentle
men who so kindly and acceptably as
sisted them with music, aud desired this
publicity for such action.

Why is It.
SOUTH WEST CORNER, March, 20, II

We find in our schoo. Laws an article
page Al, Sec. 81 } which says. "The Su-
perintendent shall visit each school in
his county, a. least, once in each term"
That our superintendent do not al ways
comply with this, the teachers Of this
part are we'll assured.
We have passed the long months of
another winter in the school room,
which are not always without their try
ing moments; hoping that each day
might be the one when our Superin-
tendent's presence would inspire new
life into both pupil and teacher.
For this day we looked in vain, and
now are We to enter upon another terms
work without the assurance of a visit,
and not only visit but advice from our
Superintendent.
We think we are safe in saying it has
been four years since our schools in this
part has been visited by this parsonage.
Are We to judge the future by the past.
We trust not. Is this to continue; if so,
who is responsible ii our schools instead
of keeping pace with the other means OF
progression, shall for mere lack of duty
on the part of one we have chosen to
oversee the same, become as trees with.
out life? Who do we suppose is more
capable of judging Of teachers ability
than the Superintendent, aud how can
he do this:without seeing him at actual
work? We know of many able instruc-
tors in our public schools who have been
thus engaged for years and have their
first encouragement to receive from thi.
welcome guest.
We, "a teachers, do not believe that
because we have been thus long de-
frauded of our just dues, it should con.
tinue.
1t may not be practicable for him t.
visit US as often as those nearer his
home, but we do not think that they
should receive MS sole attention ut oul
expense, when we are legally entitled

would keep silence with an annual visit

NEW WAY OF GETTING TO HEAVEN
One Of our worthy citizens, All elderly
man Of the class which the inconsider-
ate some times call "Old Fogy," the
other evening INDUCED in little dis.
cussion upon the subject of Universal
ism. Being pressed with statements OF
Universalist belief which did not exact
ly agree with his own, he proceeded to
state himself something like this:
"Universalists don't believe in mucl,
Of anything. They don't believe in any
hell, and they don't believe in any
heaven-except what every man has in
his own breast; and according to that
if one of them ever gets to heaven he'll
have to grease his head and swallow
himself"

Alabama Claims. We are informed
that the most persistent and unyielding
of the private citizens who have claims
vs.. the British Government are DR.. J.
G. Ayers & Co., of Lowell, Mass, the
manufacturers of medicines. They will
consent to nothing less than that their
demand for medicines destroyed by the
British pirates shall he paid in gold and
in dollars to the last cent. They are
cmboldened by the fact that the de-
struction Of their goods by the English
in China aud elsewhere (for where are
not that troublesome nation tramplirg

paid in full, aud they now say that they
shall be. They however propose this
