TO PREVENT WOLVES from DESTROY.
ING SHEEP.

Mr.. Harmon Marsh, of this town. informs US Il 4
the has method of guarding his sheep against
wolves, which he believes to be efectual, and
which if generally adopted, he thinks would ensure
the safety Of sheep in this Territory from these de-
structive animals. Mr. Marsh says that about three
months ago he made the following experiments
He took quantity of SUI phur and mixed it with
hog lard; and put small quantity of this admix-
ture on the back of each sheep in his flock Since
the time that he made this application to his sheep,
the wolves have at several times been seen to ap.
proach his flock, but on coming within given dis.
ance, or enough to take the scent of the sui
phur they invariably retreated.
This experiment of Mr.. Marsh is so simple and
accompanied comparatively with SO little trouble
and expense, that it can be tried by every farmer
who has flock of sheep, and who has met with
losses by wolves. Mr. Nj. says the sulphur
not only keeps the wolves at bay, but that this
composition has also beneficial influence in pre-
venting sheep from being troubled with ticks, and
contributes to the health of the animal. We know
of some farmers who have objected to the keeping
OF sheep mainly on account of the danger of their
being destroyed by wolves; if therefore the proven
tatIve here mentioned is what Mr. Marsh fully be-
lives 1t to be, the objection to keeping sheep or &C.
account of wolves is removed at trifng expense

Loss OF THE MILwAUKEE.-By letter lust re-
ceived in this city, we have full particulars of the
loss of the ship Milwaukee. The melancholy cir.
cumstances attending it are fully confirmed. On
leaving Chicago the ship proceeded TO ST. joseph.
where she took on board some 5000 barrels Of
flour, and then proceeded to the mouth of the
Kalamazoo. She had just finished loading when
the gale came The captain attempted to ride
it out. but without success. About 9 P NJ she
began to drag her anchors. About A. NJ she
struck about two miles north of the mouth of the
river. A perfect hurricane was blowing at the
time accompanied with snow The crew Consisted
of IA or 10 persons. Of these 6 or 7 only were
saved. All who persisted were frozen to death.
with the exception of one who was drowned. The
captain died first. The chief mate was frozen to
death while standing at the wheel. The second
mate tried TO get ashore but died before assistance
could be rendered him. Chicago Express.

Public LECTURES. Great changes have within
few years taken place in most Of the principal
cities throughout the Union, with regard to public
time. Not many years ago, the theatre in our lar
ger cities, almost the only place of pubic resort
for amusement and pleasure. More recently pub
lie lectures Of a scientific character, have greatly
attracted public attention, and attendance upon
them has become extremely popular in most of the
cities, as well as in most of the considerable towns
in the country. Managers Of theatres complain OF
filling of of the theatre going public, in conse-
quence of the prevailing passion for popular lectures
This change in the pubic taste is to be regret
ted; il exhibits ncreasn g desire for intellectual
improvement, and for the more Substantial pleas
ures, which while they amuse, elevate and ennoble
the condition of society. The principal cities are
emulatlng each other in procuring gentlemen the
most distinguished talent and literary attainmens,
as lecturers upon interesting branches of science.
The advantages derived by this means of dssemin-
ating intelligence among the people are too many
to be enumerated. Ideas which perhaps have cost
the lecturer years of study and investigation, are
their understandings in a single hour. There is
no method by which instruction can be SO readi ,
communicated as by lecturet-lnorc knowledge is
often gained in this way in one evening, than can
be gathered in month from books and close appli-
cation to study. The laws of mind are such that we
more readily retain in memories what we
hear than what we read.
The plan of public lectures in the different de-
partments of the important sciences which has now
become SO much in vogue in the lalg ger towns and
cities, light be adopted with profit in the smaller
towns. 1t is true that men possessed of the reuui.
site qualifications and capabilities for giving in
structon in the philosophical sciences, are not ca
silly to be obtained, still there are in almost every
town or village those who have bestowed much
thought and investigation upon some importan, sci
ence, and who have the ability to communicate the
result of their studios. A man may have devoted
months and years of thought TO favoritc subject,
and still be able to condense his investigations into
single lecture-thus he may communicate to null
tude in brief hour what cost hun a month or
years mental application. In those towns and
villages where it is inpracticabe to procure men
qualified to lecture npou scientific subjects, Lyce-
uns should be established; these institution are en-
inently calculated to develope the Of the
mind, and especially to lead the young to habits of
research and investigation They infuse a taste
tor the better and more rational enjoyments OF life,
while they create disresh for low and vulgar
amusement. Let young men become fully inter-
ested in we'll conducted Lyceums, and they will
look with contempt upon card tables and gambling
houses.

From every quarter the notes of triumph and of
revolution in favor of democracy reach us-scarce-
y single but that has been politically regen-
Grated during the late election camrsigns The
policical history of our county has always shown
the democratic party sure to triumph, when there
have be IN no undue excitements or false issues be-
fore the people. Although the wing party at the
late elections in several of the states, attempted
renew the pageantry and show of 1910, and to raise
a current of excitement by gathering the people in
great ma sses, but the machinery did not work-the
talismanlc influence Of their em5lems and de-
vices had lost their wonted power. The secret
of democratic strength lies in the sober and re-
Elective sense Of the people, Compare the late re-
suit in New York and the means of lis accomplish
ment with the result of 1910. During the contest
of 1910, the welkiu was made to ring with rcvelry
and song-ihe tide of excitement and of passion
rolled like mighty torrent over the state. In the
contest of 1912, the people were not diverted from
the true issue by these extraneous influences, and
hence the triumph Of Democracy

ing pot full Of whtewash, and let it be
mixed in pail full of water; in this put

pounds of fine salt, mix them well together
and the cement is completed. A little
lamPblack, yellow OGRE, or other coloring
commodity, may be introduced to change
the color of the cement, to please the fancy
OF those who use it. 1t has been used with
great success, and been recommended par
tlcularly as a protection against fire. Small
sparks of fire. that frequently lodge on the
roofs OF houses. are prevented by this &C.
ment from burning the shingles So cheap
and valuable precaution against the des-

o. The attention of those disposed to engage
in the business of manufacturing is invited 10 the ad-
vertisement of Mr.. Benedict in this paper MIR.
Benedict has had much experience in the mantfac-
turing of wooden goods, having been engaged In
that business for some years in one of the New
England states. He offers to sell the machinery to
any responsible man who will erect manufacturing
establishment, and take stock in the establishment
to the amount of one thousand dollars;- If the ma
chnery does not amount to that sum he will make
I'D the balance in cash. We would call the attcn-
ton of owners of water power at Burlington, Geneva
Delavan, Rochester and Root river to this offer of
Mr.. Benedict. The establishment of mandatory
would doubtless be good investment for the own
ers land one emnently calculated to benefit the Ter
ritory. Great numbers of sheep have during the
past year be zen introduced into northern Illinois and
into this Territory, and within the next two years
sheep will probably be kept by almost every far
mer. The manufacture of our own clothing is
matter of importance: the amount of wheat expor
ted from this county the past year, would not pay
for the wooden cloths that have been brought into
the county since last spring; notwithstanding RAJ
cine as wheat growing county, is surpassed but
by few if any in the Territory The low price
which produce bears should simulate farmers
to grow their own wool and manufacture their own
clothing. At the present prices of grain it would
take 90 bushels of wheat rs bushels of oats to
purchase the cloth for a common suit of Clothes in
GLIDING coat, oyercoat, vest and pants For
fashionable man it would take at least 100 bushels
of wheat, $50 bushels of oats to buy the cloth for
suit, of quality sufficient to the present
notions of gentiliy. The only way to prevent this
drain of capital for the purchase of clothing from
the Territory, is introduce sheep adequate to our
necessities, and manufacture our own wool.

Mr.. Miller, the World Destroyer.

Mr.. Miller, the World Destroyer.
exchange paper states the following facts
respecting this parsonage:
He owns farm near Whitehall IN this
State, around which he is building a very
substantial brick wall. A person offered
him $1,000 for the farm, and not to take
possession till after 1913; tina prudent pro-
phet refused, however, alleging that such
an offer, depending as it does, upon iu-
ture event, is nothing more than gambling.
This manifests but little faith i'll his own
predictions. He was born in Pittstield.
Massachusetts; in 1871, and is consequent
ly, sixty-one years of age. AT thirty he
entered the army, and was present in seve-
raj actions on the frontier during the late
war with Great Britain. He was then
very wild character, and his religious opin-
ions very loose He had reached the grade
OF captain, when, at the close of the war,
he left the army, and settled at Hampton,
near Whitehall. He was made sheriff OF
the county in which he resided. He still
owns the farm upon which he first settled
at this place. About thirty years ago he
set about searching ,he scriptures with a
extensive knowledge OF the prophecies. In
1916 he was converted, and ever since then
became a close student Of the prophecies
and of history. In 1922, he says he be-
came fully convinced that the world would
come to an end in 1913; and about six or
seven years aftcrward he began to preach
and write about it, and continued to do so
until this day. He has written a great
number of works on his peculiar views.
