A Ruta Baga Turnip, measuring about
three feet in circumference, and weighing
twenty two and half pounds, has just been
presented US by Samuel Zullingher, of the
East Picatouica, in this county. We are
told by Mr.. u. that five turnips which he
weighed, made an aggregate of los lbs!
This is another evidence of the fertility of
the soil as well the industry Of the agricul
turalist in Old Iowa. The 'staIl beet which
we noticed a few weeks since, was raised in
the neighborhood of Mr.. Zullingher, and we
presume that no ether section of the West
can go ahead of the Cast Picatonca for large
vegetables. Should any of our friends wish
to see this turnip, they will please call soon,
as we intend digging 1T out for a wood house
in which to store up the wood received on
subscription.

During the last few months the most crav-
ing appetite of the political epicure has been
satiated by perusaI of the public journals
throughout the length and breadth Of the
land. The great struggle is now ovot,, and
the philanthropic mind always active, natur-
ally turns to other subjects for the purpose Of
benefitting his fellow man.
Believing the cause of TEMPERANCE one
that is held dear by every friend of liberty
civilization and humanity, we propose here
after devoting portion Of the Tribune to the
PRONUNCIATION of the principles Of Temperance,
Benevolence aud Brotherly Love. The
friends of the cause have reason to rejoice at
the success which has attended their exer
tons in this place. The Order of the Sons
of Temperance has more than ouceareceived
the blessing of the wife whose companion has
been reclaimed from the haunts of intoxca-
ton and ruin, and who is now laboring to re-
deem the solemn pledges to love, cherish and
protect her, which have so long been disre-
garded. Many young and buoyant heart,
at the return of a reclaimed father from the
labors of the day has breathed forth prayer
to God for blessing upon our fraternity
All good citizens bid US God speed. and with
the blessing of Heaven our march is onward
Much yet remains to be done. The HYDRA
headed king still holds a place in our midst,
aud with view ID his final determination.
we solicit the aid Of all who feel an interest
in the cause.

~ 1t is really amusing to witness the
great change that has come over the spirit of
the Locofoco presses through the country
since the election of Gen. Ta lor to the Presi-
dancy. Papers that previous TO the election
were teeming with abuse and charges of in
consistency and incompetency against the
Wing candidate for the highest office in the
gift of the lree people Of this great Republic,
can no longer Withstand the goadings of a gull
ty conscience-and having no further political
ends to accomplish in opposing Gen. Taylor
are now acknowledging their error, end in-
forming their readers that after all they have
said against him, Gen. Taylor is not the man
they have represented him to be, but that
is an honest man and will make good Prcsi-
dent.
We have noticed but two exceptions to this
course in our Democratic exchanges-the
Potos Republican and the Shullsburg Tele-
graph. The editors of these two papers APP
pear to have been educated in the political
school where the principle was taught that
"a lie well stuck to was as good as the truth"
consequently they whine most bitterly at the
idea of the peoples choosing for themselves
their Chief Magistrate. They had probably
been to considerable expense in preparing
roosters to crow over the election OF Cass and
Butler, but since their Growing turns out to
be perfect cackle. and they find their labor
entirely lost, they lay the result SO much to
heart that we fear for their recovery, unless
a trip up Salt River should prove beneficial.
AS the riekety old ship Democracy, command
ed by Lewis Cass of French notoiriety, is
about to leave fer that destination, we would
advise our friends by all means TO secure a
passage without delay, Should their chicken
cocks produce too much "nose and confusion
on the trip, there will be abundant opportu-
nifty to hang them on Polk stalks as .circum
stances shall require.

% From the above notice it will be seen
that the Merchants of this place. will hereafter
close their stores at O'Clock in the evening.
This is done for the purpose of affording their
clerks opportunity for recreation and inn
provement. The example is a good one, and
we trust will be followed by mechanics and
others having young men in their employ. 1t
is evident to all that clerks, apprentices, &c.
who are compelled to work late at night have
but little time for reading or mental improve
ment, and as the evenings are long, if
permitted to enjoy the privilege of reading or
attending meetings, during the winter, much
good may resultto themselves as well as 9th
ers. By the way, we would advise all the
young men in town to become mem bers of
the Mineral Point Lyceum, and in SO doing
they have access TO first rate Library.

We regret to learn that Col. Stephens
Hotel in Dodgeville, was destroyed by fire
on Sunday last. Col. s. had just completed
an addition to his Hotel, the plasteriDg of
which was not yet dry. A fire was built in a
stove for the purpose of drying the room, and
by means of some shavings the fire was com
municated to the building. Some part Of The
furniture, we understand, was saved, bet in
damaged state. The loss is estimated at
from 20 to $4,000, and Mr.. Stephens togeth-
er with an aged mother, wife, and child, is
turned loose upon the charities of his friends
in this inclement season of the year. A meet
ing was held in Dodgeville OH Monday eve
ming for the purpose of aiding Col. Stephens
in again procuring home. We trust the
citizens of Mineral Point will not be back
