IsprrENDESCE BCLLETNI.-We have
sent our paper to the above sheet two or
three times with beseech to exchange
Unlike the restof Of our II, ighbors, it has
failed to respond We are Sorry, but we
suppose that the Bulletin is SO sought
after by other papers OF more I'M
portance than ours, that they have to
limit their exchange list to merely the
leading metropolitan papers of the coun'
try.-Cedar Falls Recorder.
We will not willingly rest under an
imputation of discourtesy to cotcnp"-
rary. 1t is not because we despisc the
Recorder. or untierrate its ability and
Importance that we declined an exchange
with it. We suppose that there is a pru-
dent limit to the exchange list Of Il coun
try newspaper, and, convinced that ours
has passed i. already, we have invariably
declined 10 enlarge it further. 1t would
be pleasant to exchange with every paper
| in Iowa, but we cannot afford it. We
now get three Blackhawk county papers,
full as many as our convenience warrants
and more than from any other comfy in
which there is no large city. The BUL
LrrIN is not In the habit Of putting on
airs, and was not really aware that an
exchange with it was of so much import
ance as to have called out paragraph
ike the above Since the Recorder is sc
SOLICITORS, we will make an exception in
its favor and place it on our list.

ACCiDENT.-On Saturday last, while
Mr.. Joshua Robinson, of Westburg town
ship. was working alone on new barn,
on 9. II. Speasc's farm, near the resi-
dence Of \ Z. Bryant, few miles south
Of town, the staging on which he was
stauding gave way and he was precipita-
ted with violence to the ground. He
was so severely injured in the back that
he could not walk or stand, but managed
to crawl to the house near by,
which was uroccupied. Here, too weak
to build fire, he lay several hours, and
would undoubtedly have persisted with
cold during the night were it not for the
fortunate circumstance that the Catholic
clergyman of Spring Grove, while on his
way home, getting lost, drove up to the
house and hailed it to inquire his way.
Robinson explained to the clergyman his
condition, and was taken by him to a
place of safety and warmth. At the Ia
test account he was in bed, but mend
ing.

Sunday school Celebration.
AT JERUSALEM CHURCH SEPT. 9TH
a--3 - 1873.

i ne procession was formed at 10
o'clock A. NJ, with most beautiful
banner at the head of tho column, borne
by Miss Jeraldiuie Rhame and Master
Lee Trick, inscribed with the motto,
"Feed my Lambs :" aud marched to the
Church singing "Happy Day" After
being seated in the Church, that sweet
aRd most soul stirring old song, "Let us
walk in the light of God," Is sung,
aud prayer offered up by Rev., MIR,
Zimmerman.
The worthy and efficient superintond-
ant Mr.. A. T. Avinger, then introduced
the. speakers in the following order
Walter A. Dantzlcr, John. Aviuger, l..
r. Aviuger, Leo Trick, Willie Rhame
and JEFF Trick. Walter A. Dantzler,
received the first award of merit, j ohm
Avinger second, L. Il. Avinger award
for best attendance, Lee Trick prize
for second best attendance, Jeff Trick q
prize of merit by a friend
GIELs-Jeraldine Rhamc prize for
best attendance, Oceola Avinger prize
for second best attendance.
The School was then addressed by
Mr.. Zimmerman Dantzler in chaste
and. eloquent style, taking for his theme
the life aud character of our Savior from
his Infancy. The class was also
addressed by the Rev. Mr.. Zimmerman
from Ecclcsiastes 18th Chap. lst verse,
Remember now thy creation iu the
days of thy youth, while the evil days
come not, nor the years draw nigh,
when thou shalt 4 say, have no
pleasure in them" This discourse was
replete with most excellent aud salutary
advice to the young, and was edifying
and interesting to uil present. The
assembly was then dismissed with the
usual benediction, and invited to partake
of o most splendid Pic. Mic dinner fur.
nished for the occasion by the liberal
patrons of the School. which certainly
reflected great credit on the good taste
Of the contributors, as we'll as satiaiins
the keen aPpetites Of the partakors. We
must add before concluding this account,
that the worthy superintendent, Mr.. A.
P. Avinger, and Miss Electra Griffin
the principal teacher, deserve the
highest praise for the manner in which
they discharged their several duties,
o how important it is to bring mp our
children in the way chat they should go,
blessed are the pure in heart, for they
shall see God" says our Savior And
how pure are the hearta Of these little
innocents H.nstained by the vices that
corrupt aA1' ruin the souls of adult
mortals; aud uncontaminatod by the
lust Of the world, and the lust of the
eyes, and the pride of life: Ofsuch is
the Kingdom Of Heaven. And we too,
unless We preserve that child-like in
nocence OF character, purity of heart,
and spotleas nature, cannot ever hope
to enter there. The rising generation
must soon take our places In Church,
and State, and all the vocations Of life !:
How important it is then that we should
leave them . good legacy. They arc
sths future hope and promise of this
great country. If men and women
would obey God, and raise their child
rem up in sbe fear and admonition of
the Lord, this great world would soon
be evangelized, and the Millennium of
God ushered in.a
