ExEcUTloN.-George w. Evans, a
young man convicted of murder, was oxe-
cuted at Macon, Ca, on Friday. 5th inst,
in presence of an immense concourse OF
persons. He was born and reared amid
profigacy and crime, which had combined
to destroy the better impulses ofhis nature.
The Macon Messenger says: On the scaf>
fold he warned the youth of the country to
beware of his example and shun the ways
of wickedness which led to the ignominious
gallows; and in abiding to the teachings OF
his sinful mother, gave fearful warning to
to the mothers ofthe land to look well to
the habits and conduct Of their children"

NJ TRUrHFUL.-The following truthful
and sensible remarks we take from the GaIena
Advertiser of the End instant, if we have not
been sadly misinformed, one or two of the SEN
fences have whitening application to the con-
duct of a class of our own citizens.
Speaking of the cholera, it says, " we are sat-
lshed, that proper firmness of mind has much
to do with the control of the disease. 1t should
be treated like any other enemy, faced down and
vanquished. Never give up to it. Never for
sake friend attacked by it. Never run from if
These suggestions are made in no fool-hardv
spirit, but in that of the most prudent caution
believing, if needed, they may tend to the saving
of life"

The following good and timely advice we take
from the last Kenosha Democrat. The farmers
will do well to be on their guard:
eve advise the farmers, who will soon have
prospect of some wheat to sell, to look out for
what they get for pay. There are all sorts OF
apologies for money in the market. Look out
for the rags; see how they read, and who has
signed them. = Mil. Com. Adv.
A little bit of mistake as to the name of the
paper you got that advice out Of 1t will be
long time before you find the editor of tho De-
mocrat warning the farmers about the irrespon-
sible trash in this neighborhood 1t will be long
time before you find him advising the farmers to
let Burch's orders and Richmond's plasters
alone.

KILLED.--Mr. John Gould was shot dead, on
Monday last, by Mr.. Asa Clifford at pony Hol-
low, about 8 miles from here, in Clayton Co. To-
wa Gould had entered some land, as we learn,
which Clifford claimed and on which he had made
improvements. Gould, on Monday, was ma
king fence to enclose the land entered by him,
and which passed through the field of Clifford.
The latter warned him to desist, which was not
done; when, after thrice raising his gnn, he shot
Gould through the heart with rifle ball. Sever
al persons witnessed the transaction. These are
the few facts we have heard in relation to the
melancholy affair." Clifford was Immediately ia

ACCIDENT ON THE ERIE RALRoAD.-The ac-
cident on the Erie Railroad, mentioned in yes
terday's paper, was caused by the breaking of an

bridge was 81 feet long, and about 40 feet above
the bed of the stream. The train, consisting of
II freight cars, with a load of 500 sheep, 200
hogs, and 100 head of cattle, was precipitated
through the gap TO the ground; the cars dashed
to pieces and the stock all killed. Five per-

We wish the matter fully understood and if
Mr.. Durkee comes up, he must do so openly and
fairly, and as the choice of the party "-Wauke-
sha Democrat.
MUsT, must he! Well, perhaps you had bet
ter drop him a line, lest he sin ignorant of your
requirement He must come up as the choice
OF !" the PARTY" If he should come up as the
choice of g the PEOPLE, it wouldn't do, no how,
we suppose. Unless the schemng politicians.
who live in the cities and villages, and who pull
the wires, endorse him, he stands no chance
We have just one remark to make, based on our
own observation, and that is, that the chances are
as 8 to l. in all party conventions, that the worst
man instead of the best man gets the nomination.
And the reason is plain. The unselfish man.
who desires only the good of the people, never
soicits a nomination, and consequently seldom
gets one the selfish man, who has his own ends
to accomplish is active, and procures the choice.
Our own opinion is that Mr. Durkee stands
very poor chance of coming up as the choice
of the party" If he had the time, he mas not the
disposition to run round the district and pack del
egates to a convention, but if the people war1
his services, we are not certain that Mr.. Durkee
would refuse to serve them, even at the risk of
iIspleasing the PARTY

CENSUS OF THE Cry OF KENosHA-The De-
putty Marshall, w. Mygatt, Esq, has completed
the census ofthis city, from which it appears that
the number of inhabitants residing within the
corporate limits of the city, on the first day of
June last, was 3466.
tits probable that our town does not exhibit as
rapid progress in population during the past two
or three years, as some few other places in the
State nevertheless, our increase in numbers has
been steady, and we have every indication to JUS
tify the belief that it will continue so to advance
in future. By reference to the numbers Of
our population since 1910, it will be perceived
that the growth of our city will compare favora-
bly, with that of other cities and villages general
ly in the west.
In June 1910, the number of inhabitants with
in our corporate limits was 337
In January l843, ll32
December l847, 1855

Post Office Nranagement.

There is considerable of screw loose in the

the most of the difficulty, we believe. is at Mil

our mail matters has been anything but satisfac-
tory to us or our subscribers. We received
letter to-day from Caldwels Prairie, which in
forms US that our papers are two weeks reaching
that point, about 80 miles distant. 1t takes lon
ger for us to get reply from Green Bay than it
does generally from New York city. Our news
papers and mail matter must evidently lay over
and take rest somewhere and from the fact
that we get the news in our northern exchanges
from the Milwaukee papers two or three days
before we get the papers themselves, we think
that Milwaukee is the place where they love to
stop.
If we are mistaken in our ideas in regard to
the establishment of the Post Office system.
these remarks are uncaled for, but if the Postal
system is established for the accommodation of
the business public, then we don't see the rea-
son why mails cannot be forwarded as fast as
they arrive, especially where there is daily
mail. The mail matter from Chicago to this
place goes by to Milwaukee once or twice
week on the average.
