The speaker'S address,

The following is the Address Of the Hon.
MesEs NJ. STRoNe, the Speaker, after his cleo
ton by a very catering vote One OF It's most
pertinent points, is the urgency Of short ses-
sion, and the folly of altering our Statutes al
most as soon as they are published

was the hope that might contribute by my
public exertions. to shaping the Legislation of

mote the best interests Of the state. believe
that could best realize that hope by discharg-
ing my duties as a member on the floor of the
House-you have, however, been pleased TO
assign me another position OF greater Tespon-
sibility, the duties of which are far more ar
duous, and | shall not shrink from lis respon-
sibilities OF its duties, and return to you my

1t is my opinion, that in consideration that
our general laws have so recently gone into
operation--so recently, that the people have
scarcely had an opportunity to know what they
are, much less to form an opinion of their mer-
its, it would be unwise to attempt any serious
alteration in them at the present session, and
that should best promote the interests of
the state, by combining cur action, so far as 1t
relates to general Legislation, to some very
few subjects prominent among which is the
subject of the enormous taxation with which
the people are so greatly oppressed, and of
which they so generally and so justly COM
plain.
The subjects of schools and school lands,
internal Improvements, and possibly some 9TH
ers, may also, perhaps with profit, occupy
our attention. Whenever we shall have per-
fecied such measures in relation to these few
general subjects as the public good imperous-
local interest as may be presented from the
different parts of the state, we shall be ready
to adjourn,and five truly reflect the wishes Of
our constituents, we shall adjourn at the ear
Hest practicable period.
| am we'll convinced that we can complete
all the necessary business Of the session in
four weeks, and if the members of the legisa-
ture bring their minds to the same conclusion
and enter upon the work with fixed and un-
alterable determination to accomplish it with
in that time, we shall have no difficulty in do
ing so. Allow me to repeat that feel mex
pressibly grateful to you for this distinguished
mark of your confidence and kindness, and
that assume the duties of the chair with a
deep desire to discharge them promptly and
mpartially.

We are glad to perceive that some of our breth-
rem are calling public attention to State Ag-
recultural Society. While other states have
been by this means rapidly progressing and
developing their resources, Wisconsin has
slumbered on, unmindful of her own interests
During the last session Of our Legislature a fe
BILE effort was made to organize such a society,
but falling to enlist sufficient interest il died
away, and comparatively nothing was effect
ed. Il is hoped that the project will not be
entirely abandoned, bat that all those friendly
to industrial pursuits, will take deep inter
est in the matter and that a fund will be rails
ed sufficient to establish it on permanent ba-
sis and carry it into active and efficient opera
ton. New Y ork has premium fund Of some
Sc, 900, and almost every state in the Union
has deemed it cxpedient TO establish and en-
courage its agricultural societies, and in many
states liberal appropriations from the public
treasury have been made to increase their fund.
Our State constitution provides that county
societies may be formed, which may become
auxiliary to the State Society. Yet nothing
whatever has been done-not d single county
has felt interest enough in the matter to effect
an organization. The President in his mes
sage has recommended the establishment of
an Agricultural Bureau to be connected with
the Department of the Interior. 1t is justly
deemed the leading branch Of American indus
Try, and should be the study of every states
man and receive the fostering care of govern
ment.
These societies are beneficial in more re-
spects than one, and should not be neglected.
They are of great practical utility and affect
the interests of all-not only because they tend
to develop the resources of the country, but
they concentrate and render available the wis
dom, study and experience of our whole peo-
pie. They beget laudable ambition to ex-
eel, elevate the social condition of the agricul-
turist, increase the prosperity, multiply his
sources of information and extend his useful
ness.-RQcine Com. .fdg.

of the steamboat Oregon, fore and aft. No

before much damage was done to the hull
She was owned, principally, by G. L. Chap

the amount of damage. The fire is believed
to be the work Of an incendiary.
