Edmund Booth, editor of the Anamosa Eureka, who is an old man, and who has been deaf and dumb from childhood, has written a letter concerning the institution for the deaf and dumb located here. He has paid much attention to the educati and care of the deaf and dnmb, and has been himself a teacher. His letter is given as interesting to many, although his intimation that better trustees could be selected will hardly find eadorsement, as the present board is made up of some of the best men in lowa.
