lOWA CITY, May 20, 1867
Mts. Isl.lKnuirt :—Rev. :—With your per
*mission, it is proposed to make the following
statement to the public, through the columns of
"oar paper.
A few years sinoe, the State of lowa donated
a ,beautiful spot of ground, in lowa City, for
'educational purposes, which fell into the hands
of an association, that started oat to build an
institution by the name of " The lowa Female
iCstlegiate Institute." This Association projected
a building estimated to cost .about $16,000.
About $7,000 were expended, and the building
partially erected. The original projector, and
bead and front of the Association,
a worthy cler
gyman, died suddenly, 'and the plati upon which
it was proposed to accomplish the object had in
view, seemed to fail; confidence in the plan was
lost, and it did fail, and there it now stands, after
repeated and decided efforts on the part of the
Trustees to forward the project, The Trustees
are now satisfied that-unless some other plan can
be devised, the whole matter will not only be a
failure, but the work already done a total loss.
With this state of things before them, the
Trustees, at their last meeting, authorized me,
as one of their number, to make the following
proposition, viz.: Any person or Company who
will come forward and complete the building, and
institute a good Seminary for young ladies, in
the same, shall have a perpetual lease of the
premises, free of charge, and unincumbered, ex
cept by a few scholarships and abouttwo or three
hundred dollars indebtedness, so long as the same
shall be used and occupied in accordance with
its original purpose.
To any one having some capital, and a desire
to build up a first-class female Seminary, as a
private enterprise, here, is an opportunity, it
seems to me, which must present extraordinary
inducements. The location is a most beautiful
and desirable one, a:most in the centre of `this
young, beautiful, and growing city, now number
ing about nine thousandinhabitants, and increas
ing in wealth and population as rapidly, perhaps,
as any city or town in any country.
Tee question will very naturally arise, why
does it not progress ? The answer is simply
this. It was commenced under the, auspices of
the Odd Fellows. It was proposed to raise the
means by each Lodge taking a scholarship,
whjoh, with what would be subscribed by private
individuals here, would do the work. The huin
bug' of Lodges taking scholarships soon became
transparent, confidence was lost, at home and
abroad, and hence the result.
Our citizens are ready and willing to help lib
erally, when it becomes evident that the matter
is in such hands as will carry it, into succoessful
operation. What we want is a man of some cap
ital, and the capacity to build up and conduct a
good whoa Such a man will find the invest
ment a good one, and a good field open before
him, and a rich and abundant harvest to crown
his labors.
In hopes that this communication may fall into
the hands of some such person among the numerous
readers of the Banner and Advocate, and that you
may thereby benefit some of your subscribers, as
well as us as a community, in this respect, we
ask its publicity, by which you will very much
oblige Yours, truly, Gso. W. CLARK,

Little Aughwiek Church.
In accordance with public notice, a meeting of
the Little Aughwiok congregation was held in
the church, on the 26th of May, to take into
consideration the dissolution of the pastoral re
lotion between the congregation and the Rev. W.
S. Morrison, when the following preamble and
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
%mixes. The Rev. William S. Morrison, our
beloved pastor, has requested the congregation to
unite with him in asking Presbytery to grant a
dissolution of the pastoral relation now existing
between them ; therefore,
Resolved, That in concurring with him in such
application, we feel constrained to do so only by a
deep sense of its being indispensable, from the
present enfeebled state of his health, rendering
him unable, at present, to discharge his pastoral
duties.
Reaodved, That it is with deep and heart-felt
sorrow that we are thus called upon to part with
our beloved pastor, who has so diligently and
faithfully labored' amongst us, and whose walk
and conversation have, in all respeots, been most
exemplary, and becoming the ministry of Jesus
Christ.
Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with him
and his family in their affliction, and it is our
prayer that the Great King and Head of the
Church will, in due time, remove hie affliction,
and grant him yet many days and years of life,
for labor in the service of his Lord and Master.
'Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be
put into the hands of our pastor, and that the
same be published in the Presbyterian, and Pres
byterian Banner and Advocate.

• The following preamble and resolutions were
adopted in relation to the death of Mr. George
H. Craig, of Cambridge, Ghio, by the Erodel
phian Literary Society of Madison College, at
its late meeting:
WHEB.NAS, It has pleased God in. his wisdom,
to remove from our midst, and from our com
panionship, G. H. Craig, who was associated
among us as a beloved member, and had become
endeared to us by many hallowed iecollections ;
therefore,
Resolved, That we, as a Society, and 'as indi
viduals, 'deeply regret this separation, and shall
always retain, with feelings of gratitude, and
respect, a memorial of our departed friend.
.Resolved, That by his death, this Society has
been deprived of a worthy member, and the Col
lege a diligent and assiduous student.
Resolved, That we sincerely' sympathize with
the afflicted friends and relatives, In their be
reavement, and note the mysterious workings of
Him " who doeth all things well."
ResolVed, That a copy of - these resolutions be
presented to the Banner and Advocate, of Pitts

About 11 o'clock, on the night of the 2d of June,
a fire broke out in the roof of the Western Peni
tentiary. It originated from a flew: The fire
was extinguishid, after a damage of about $l,OOO.
None of the prisoners escaped.
An Improvement.
The Allegheny Bridge Company have accepted
the supplement to their charter; and an elegant
wire suspension bridge is to be erected, without
delay, over the site of the present structure.
This Company was chartered in 1816. Their
bridge has, hence, been in use about forty yeari.
It might stand for many years yet ; but there is
reason to fear a partial decay of the timbers, and
the Company do well to have it rebuilt. The
new bridge is expected to be an ornament to the
cities which it will connect.
Amusement and Instruction.
The Panorama of the Russian War, now on
exhibition at the. Masonic Hall, in this city, is
will worth=a visit. It will convey to the mind
ideas which could never be acquired by mere
reading, and will make iinpressions not to be
erased. And, while it informs us of bombard
ments, battles, and terrible carnage, we trust that
the effect will be, great . gratitude for the blessings
of peace which we enjoy, and a firmer purpose
than ever, tO petibe with all the'earth.
BEEF.—The butchers and.drovers of Philadel
phia, at a late meeting, resolved to call a Conven
tion of the trade, to meet on the 18th of June,"
when strong reformatory measures will be urged,
in order to circumvent speculation. A gentleman
stated to the meeting,` that Venezuelan cattle
could be landed on our wharf, at from $20.00 to
426.00 per•head, and' of as good quality as those
raised in home pastures.
Kansas
Governor Walker has arrived at Lecompton,
and made his introductory address. He pledges
himself to enforce the laws, and also to secure to
all the people their rights: There is great reason
to hope for a preservation of order; and that
finally the people will have the making and
,ad
ministering of their own laws. We see ' it stated
that the Democrats in Convention have pledged
themselves etolave' the new' Constitution fairly'
submitted to the. people, and so to conduct the
election of such delegates as to "secure to every
citizen-of Kansas, without reference to his party
or individual views, the enjoyment of his constitu
tional rights, and an equal voice in the adoption
of those political institutions which he will be
called upon to respect and obey." This is an
important movement, and will be highly favor
able to. the prospects of freedom in Kansas, if
carried out.
Washington.
A terrible riot occurred at Washington, D. C.,
at the late election, on June 1. A band of row
dies, with the characteristic name, " Ping Trg
lies," went from Baltimore, and endeavored to
prevent naturalized foreigners from voting, using
great violence. The civil authorities called upon
the President, and he authorized the employment
of a company of marines. The rioters obtained
a small cannon, but the marines charged upon
them, captured their gun, and routed them.
Eight
. persons were killed, and thirty wounded.
Some innocent citizens, whose curiosity had im
pelled them to the place of danger, suffered with
the guilty, Rioting should be put down promptly.
Interference with the free and righteous use of
the ballot, should be resisted with energy, at
whatever cost; whether that interference be on
the part of rowdies from without, or from the
corruption of the officers within. The perpetuity
of a Republic depends upon the preservation of
entire freedom in the use of the elective fran
chide, and of the purity of the ballot box.

meanest settlement that he ever beheld. Every
thing has the appearance of abject poverty.
Young's word is law, and his oppression of the
Mormons is cruel, and without remedy from the

Celebration.
There has been quite a time at St. Louis, Cin
cinnati, and some other places between the East
the West, on the occasion of a new connexion
being completed between the seaboard and the
great river. This connexion is` by the Baltimore
and Ohio, the Western Virginia, the Cincinnati
and Marietta, and the Cincinnati and St. Louis
Railroads. We greatly rejoice in such improve
ments, though we cannot always commend the
spending of so much time and means'as are non-'
ally devoted to the demonstrations, on the part of
the public.
Sr. Louis, June s.—The celebration here to.
day was a magnificent affair. The excursionists
landed at the levee amid the salutes , of the Artil
lery and military, and,were "escorted to carriages
and omnibuses in waiting, and conveyed through
the main streets of the city, to the Agricultural
Fair grounds. -
The procession was two• miles in length, and
there was an immense congregatiOn at the Amphi
theatre, which will hold ten,thottsand,persons.
Application for an Injwction.
A letter from" Harrisburg to the. !New York
Commercial Advertiser, says, on "the highest an
thority," that a few days ego, a joint , letter was
addressed to the Judges of the Supreme Cotirt of
Pennsylvania, by Henry D. Poster arid Charles:
H. Buckalew, late members of the. Legislature,
asking the Court to hold a special Session in
Philadelphia, on the 12th or 20th of thismontb,
for the purpose of hearing an application by them
on behalf of Henry S: Mott, Canal
and others, for a writ of injunction to restrain
the Governor from selling the Main Line of the
public works ; that the Attorney General , has
been duly notified of the fact, and that the Court
has theinatterriridefadviseinentiniidliiltdicidic

Progress in Delaware.
The Wilmington Republican, in speaking of the
folly of emigrating to the West, and the induce
ments to remain at homeomys:, ," The increase
of - the value of land in our State, for agricultural
purposes, has been relatively greater than in most
States of the West, for the past decade ; and it
will continue to be so for the next twenty years.
Land has doubled and trebled in vales, in this
County ; and so it' has in Kent and Sussex. It
has ; not yet reached its highest point in either."
:LASS SUPERIOR Marrans.—The • Ontonegon
Miner says that the cutting up of the great mass
of native copper at the Minnesota Mine, is going
on, 'and that it will require a year or mere to get
it into pieces. Several cuts have been made five
feet, deep, and its thickness increases toward the
centre. The Miner , says :
, g The product of the Minnesota for• April was
870,550 pounds, or 185 tons and 650 pounds.
This is the largest amount of copper ever taken
from a mine on Lake' Superior in a single month,
and probably the largest ever taken from one
mine in the world•during a similar.period. Con
solidated European companies have, in a very few
instances, taken out as much from several mines
under their charge, but as the mo nthly product
of a single mine, the April return at•the Minne
sota, is without parallel in the history of mining,
as far as we are informed."

Mrs. Hosack enjoyed the ffistniction and pisjers of pious
parents, and in early life became a member of the Presby.

walk as a professed follower , of th,Retitlemer. She bore her
pratracted sigh. risignation to the Divine will. Her
avowed and only reliance for sairation was the 'atoning
merits of Christ. Her hope, her joy, her all, was Christ.
His blood, his finished righteousness, alone sustained her
in the trying hour. Though for a time she did not enjoy .
the full possession of her reason, through the Influence of
disease, yet before her departure she was restored to its
proper exercise, and in these circumstances gave consoling
evidence to her sorrowing friends that she' was preptskid for
the change. She said to a friend, who was much with her,
shortly before her death, "Now all the fears of death are ta

The deceased was born in Allegheny County, Pa., in the
year 1798, where she lived till 1818, when she was married
to Wm. Cooper, and removed to Muskingum County, Ohio.
She first united with the Associate Reformed Church, in the
year 1815, near to her paternal home, under the pastoral
care of Rev. Mathew Henderson ; and in 1819, with the
Presbyterian church, of Safi Creek, in linakingumemmty,
Ohio. She witnessed a good profession. She lived a life of
faith in the Son of God, adorning the doctrines of God her
Saviour. Death, to her, was robbed of his terrors. She
knew in whom she had believed; and was persuaded that he
was able to keep that which she had committed to him.
Her dying words were, "My hope is in Jesus." That hope
which sustained her through life, supported her in death;
and she fell asleep in Jesus.

her brow, and beckoned death's approach. Her greatest
•naiety was for the conversion of her husband. She desired
to live and see him adopt a Christian's faith. In a few short
days, however, death pointed her out as Its own; and the
spirit, in that clay tenement, at a moment unlooked for by
us, wafted its way to the eternal realms, we hope, of bliss.
Gone from the communion board of the Churckmilitant to
be with Christ, which is far better. Yes—in the Spring.
time of life and year, she has gone to a home where golden
walks and needing flowers Invite the sweet stranger ;
where no intruders are; where Jesus is, and ever shall be
present, as the husband, brother, friend. God guide her
infantAild in the proper way; and may we, it, meet
the mother, daughter, sister, wife, and friend, soon in
heaven. W. B.

Mrs. Simpson was a member of Mount. Prospect congre

Nis house. Sbe gave geed evidence Of the sineerity'of her
Profession, of her devotedness te the Master, and of her en
joyment in his service. The call came suddenly, but she
was "found of him in peace." The ties which, united her
to earth were many, and certainly not easily severed—
having to part with a kind and devoted husband, four
young children, and many friends; yet she could, without
weeping, commit them to the keeping of her heavenly
Father.. When told that she must soon die, she replied,
"Not my will, but thine be done." .She conversed about
death and eternity with a composed mind. She mid to hor
sorrowing friend& " ' 'Weep not for me, but weep for Your

'death, her husband has lost a kind and devoteitwife, her
ehildren an affectionate mother, the community a useful
. and respected citizen, and the Church a worthy member.
But she bee gone to her rest, to see Jesus, and we " know
that he doeth all things well." W. J. A.

From Professor Louis &image. -
"The Geological Works of Hugh Miller have excited the
greatest interest, not only among a:dead& men, but also
among general readers. There is in them a freshness of
conception, a power of argumentation, a depth of thought,
a purity of feeling, rarely , met with in works of that char.
enter. . . Bat What is in a great degreepeculiar . toour
author,is the snecestful combination of Christian doctrines
with pure scientific truths "
From Rev- Thomas Chalmers, D.D., LLD.:
Since the death of. Sir Walter Scott, be (Hugh Miller) is
the greatest Seotchman that is left."
From Sir David Brewster, Li F.R.S.:
"Among the eminent students of the structure ofthe
earth, Hr. Hugh Miller holds a lofty place, not merely from
the discovery or new and undescribed organisms in tbe Old
Red Sandstone, but from the accuracy and beauty of his de
scriptions, the purity and elegance of his compositions, and
tbe high tone of philosophy andreligion Which distinguishes
all his writings... . With the exception of Burns, the
uneducated genius which has done honor to Scotland during
the last century has never displayed thatmental refinement,
and classical taste, and it telleetuai energy, which mark all
' the writings of our author... - •
From Be.. William Buckland, D.D., F.H.8.:
Dr. Buckland laid, at a meeting of the British Associa
tion, "I have never been so mach astonished in my life, by
the powers of any man, im I have been by the Geological
descriptions of Hugh Miller. That wonderful man describes
these of with a facility which Makes me ashamed of
the comparative measreness and poverty of my own de
ecriptions in the Bridgewater Treatise,' which cost me
boure and days of labor. I would give my left bird to Roe
ease Bach powers of description an this man ; and if It
,
pleases Providence to spare his useful Ilfethe if any one,
will certainly render science attractive and pop ular, and do
equal service to Theology and Geology."
From Rev. William Banns, LL.D.
"He succeeded in placing • his name in the first rank of
British scientific writers and thinkers. His works are char
icterized by a fine union of strict science, classic diction,
and enchanting description, which risee, not unirequently,
into the loftiest vein of poetry."
From Sir Roderick Murchison, F.R.13
Sir Roderick Murchison, in his address to the Geological
Society, "hailed the acceseion to their science of such*
writer," and said that , " his work (Old lied Sand'tone,) is,
to a beginner, worth a thousand didactic treatises."

THE CHAMPION LOOKS OF THIS
WORLD, are only striplings in cost, ($6 to $9, or if
made gunpowder proof, slo,•and less at wholesale.) The
test which they have endured Is unparalleled. The great
est look-pickers in the world, stimulated by the offer of a
large premium for several years, have sought in vain for
a clue to pick them. They not only bid defiance to all lock
pickers, but the offer of Two THOIMAND Dou.sses for pick
ing is continued to June, 1567, with ample guaranty. The
world is challenged for a competitor to produce a lock of
equal value, for five times its cost,whether it is used for
the specie-vault, night latch, or desk.
