part, to the inclemency of the weather.
In Patch Grove, where the people were
thoroughly awakened, there is marked
difference-the Wing ticket receiving a
handsome majority.
Our disaster may be attributed entire
ly to such men as are described in the
following article
The SILVER GREys.-Frank Granger
dubbed the nationals" with the name
of g Silver Greys," in his speech, on the
opening of the Utica Convention. The
Buffalo Republic says that at the Seward
ratification meeting in that city on Sat-
urday last, Seth G. Hawley, Esq, gave
the history of this appellation as fol-
lows:
During the war large number of ex-
empts, who were permitted to remain al
home and take care Of the women and
children, were called " silver greys," and
he presumed, Mr.. Granger, in applying
the name to portion of the Wing party
intended it for that class, who, when
there was close fight with the Demo
Gratis, staid at home with the women and
children.

at certain depots, and deliver them to
the post Office, and convey back to such
depots the letters so directed to be de-
livered.
The. serenh abolishes the Thanking
privilege, !" except so far as it may have
been conferred by Congress upon indi-
viduals as mark Of respect and honor, +"
and requires the payment by the Govern
ment of all postage due on account OF the
public service.
The eighth authorizes the Postmaster
General to draw upon the treasury,
under certain checks, for any amount
exceeding the actual postage of the year,
when needed for certain purposes speci-
fed in the act of 1886, &c.
The ninth repeats all acts conflicting
with this.

Taking tEie Census.

Alvin Richardson, one of the assis-
tant marshals employed in the western
part of the state in taking the census,
communicates TO the Oswego Times the
following amusing illustration of the
facility with which man may be misled
by answers that are direct and true, but
g nothing else"
81 now must tell you of joke ! had
put on me in the good town Of Palmero,
/ called in at house early one morning
saw young girl, whom ! took to be
ten or twelve years old. i told her my
business which she took very coolly. |
asked her, is your father farmer 2
She answered, he is Is he at home?'
Z He is.' is be in the house?' Il sup
pose he is Will he give ms the in
formation?' Il suppose he WILL
waited while and then asked, Have
YOU a mother p i have is she at
home? p She is viii she be in
soon?' Cant say is she gone
from home p 'She is not Well /
saw there was but one rom in the house.
and got tired of waiting, i spoke to the
young girl saying Where is your faith
er?' The same answer,- - He is at
home,' well where is hep The spme
ans - He is at home Well where
is your mother p Why at home. =
Where in the name Of common sense is
their home?' Why Just over on the
other street. Feeling rather chagrined,
| asked, Who is the head of this fami-
Typ Answered promdtly: "My hus-
band, sir Areyou married p Yes.
: Have you any children?' Two
: How old are the children p Two
years. How is that p Very easy
sir; they are twins y This solved the
whole mystery; they were fine looking
boys-she the youngest looking mother,

ter it is to be mistaken

Cen. Tayior,s Last wiz.

The New York Herald says, that the
last will and testament of General Tay-
lor was made before the battle of Mon
terey, in 1916. He gave his wife three
large storehouses and alot, with more
than hundred shares of bank Stock
To his son, Richard, he gave his planta-
tons in Mississippi and Louisiana, and
twenty thousand dollars. To Mrs. Bliss
and Mrs. Wood, his two daughters, he
gave ten thousand dollars each. 1t was
his wish, that his plantations should not
be divided for ten years, and from the
proceeds of the crops he directed that
his daughters should receive twenty
thousand dollars each, in addition TO the
sum before mentioned. He made pro-
visions for the payment of security
debt of $1,000: he owed nothing on his
own his account.

Overland Emigration to CaEifOr-
mia.

The San Francisco Herald says:
There are on the overland route no
less than 10000 persons. The first of
those who have arrived endured priva-
tons and sufierings innumerable; and
it is but natural to expect that those who
come later in the season will suffer more
severely STILL The forty miles Of des-
ert which stretch from the base of the
Sierra Nevada, are strewn with the bod
les of dead cattle, while several persons
have been found drowned, some by ac-
cident in crossing the rivers, and more
lamentable still, some by their own act,
having been driven to utter despair by
their misfortures.
1t is proposed TO send out second ex-
petition, with a view Of establishing a
depot of provisions on the edge of the
desert, and united effort is to be made
all over the state to aid in this charitable
undertaking. 1t is to be unprecedented
that hundreds, God preserve us! have
already died with hunger, and hund eds
will as surely die if they be not speedi-
ly relieved.

GRANT COUNTY HERALD.
LANCASTER, Wis.
THURSDAY MORNING, NOV. I, 1850.
RESULT IN GRANT COUNTY.

The Election being over, it now be-
comes our painful duty to chronicle the
result. However much we may regret
being compelled TO acknowledge defeat,
the facts in the case render in impera-
tive, and as faithful Herald of the
times, we are free to grant that Old
Grant has gone over 10 the enemy. If
this election is any criterion for future
calculation, our friends in other parts of
the State must hereafter count upon
their own strength, leaving out our hith-
erto Wing county.

Excursion TO LoNpoN AND BACK

Excursion TO LONDON AND RACK
The proprietors of some of the first class
packet ships at the east propose, If one
hundred passengers can be obtained, to
furnish passage to Liverpool and back,
and provide good accommodations and
excellent fare for the sum of Sirty dollars
each. 1t is proposed to start about the
middle of May, and arrive in London
about the fifth of June, in time 10 attend
the great Worlds Fair. Passengers can
remain in London three weeks, making
excursions to all places of interest in
the vicinity, and seeing all the sights
worth seeing, when they can so on board
the packet, bid adieu TO "merrie Eng
land, and arrive in the United States
about the first of August, having been
absent ten weeks and gained any amount
of useful information--and all for the
sum Of one hundred dollars. The idea is
a good one. Who goes Hatckeye.

SLAvE-CATcurNG LAw.-How 1T
WoRKs.-The Racine Advocate gives
the following account of the workings of
the law in that region:
I'm hcident.-On Friday night last,
about II o'clock, as the Empire State
was taking freight on from Topham s.
Cross pier, a small craft was observed
to make for the leeward side of the pier.
She touched, and on being hailed would
make no reply; at length negro landed
and enquired for the officers of the En-
pire State. After few moments con-
sultation with the clerk, he jumped on
board and speedily returned in company
with about twenty other negroes and
their wives and children, and what few
articles they appeared to have hastily
collected. The Empire State went on
her way east, the small vessel filling her
sails and departed no one knows with
er.

Fire at Milwaukee.

A fire broke out at Milwaukee, on
the Dist in the store of Mr.. Cady, los
Water-st, which destroyed a large a.
mount of property. The Wisconsin
states the loss as follows
Mr.. Cady, goods, $4,000, with an
ms. of So, 500-on building, $500 ;
North Western ms. Co.. !; on goods, S.
900, as follows $4,000 in Lexington

Co; and $4,000 in Ohio Mutual.
Mr.. Rooney-ins. on goods, $400, on
building 5000, in Utica, N. Y. ms. Co.
Goods nearly all saved, though some
what damaged.
Thos. Colfey, tailor: loss principally
by theft, about $1,000; building ms. for
$500 in Ohio Mutual.
Mr.. Harris, apothecary, lost by re-
moval of goods, $500. No insurance.
The building occupied by Mr.. Cady
was owned by Mr.. Pinney of Buffalo.
Building occupied by Mr.. Rooney in

mostly all damaged except some furniture
in cellar, and insured for $400. House

CouNrERrE1Ts.-W announced the
fact the other day, that counterfeit $5C
bills on the Bank of Missouri, had made
their appearance. The st. Louis Intel
ligencer of the 10Th inst, gives further
description of the notes and circumstan'
ces connected with the detection. s.
exact an imitation of the original, is tb'
counterfeit that cashier Shurlds acknowi
edged it impossible for him to detect then
Inv the signature. What is more aston
fishing, 81, 1000 in these notes was paiC
out from the Bank to the person by whom
the cheat was discovered. They are II
circulation in California, and are supposed
10 have originated there. The following
is the description given b. one of the
Bank Directors.
General appearance good: On eN.
animation the engraving will be found
to be much coarser than the genuine
especially the drapery of the female
figure. Signature of the President anc
Cashier very well done. The cOunfertsl
signed by Jno. Smith, Pres't, IN the Jno
the n O is written cut distinct. In the
genuine n o runs together. In the coun-
lterfeit signed R. Campbell, Pres {. there
lis slight flourish in the termination o.
the first stroke Of the letter R, not in the
genuine. WIS.

JAIL DELIvERy.-Seven prisoners, in
dicted for murder, made their escape from
the Allegany county Jail, at Angelica, n.
Y, on Thursday night. They were fur
nished augurs, pickaxes, Sc, from with
out, by the aid of which they made an
aperture through the side of the build
ing. The first obstacle was two inch
plank, which was removed, and the sheet
iron lining turned back, and a block of
solid oak, 10 inches long, one foot wide
and nine or ten inches thick, removed,
leaving nothing but the clap-boards,
which were partly pushed off and cut
through with razor.

Fatal Casuaiify.

We exceeding regret to learn that a
Geographic despatch has been received
by Col. L. ID. Baker, that his brother,
Thomas Baker. has beenkille i at Spring
field, by fall from horse. The mel
ancholy news summons him Immediately
TO Springfield.
The above appeared il only a part Of
our edition yesterday. We find the fol-
lowing notice of the accident in the IL
linois Journal:
A SAD AccIpENT.-Mr. Thomas Ba-
ker, brother of Col. f. ID. Baker, was
found Wednesday noon last, about
twelve miles from this city, bruised and
cut in most shocking manner. In this
situation he had lain since Monday noon,
and when found, signs Of life was al
most extinct. The accident happened
as we learn, by the horse running away
with the buggy in which he was riding,
He recovered yesterday evening SO as &c
be able to speak. His situation, how
ever, is regarded as very critical.

INSANITY OF ONE OF THE HUTcHiH-
SON FAmILy.-The Syracuse Standard
of the 22d, verilies the report of the in
sanity of one of the Hutchinson Fami-
ly. II says:
Judson Hutchinson, one of the mem
bers of the " Hutchinson Family" ar
rived in this city from the west, on Fri
day, in state of insanity, induced by an
attack of brain fever, at Cleveland,
Ohio. He remained at the residence Of
Rev. S. J. May, until yesterday morn
ing, when he left for the east, in compa-
ny with the remainder of the Family, y
who returned from the west with him.
His condition is very unsatisfactory, and
il is the design of his friends to take him
to the Insane Asylum at Worcester, in
hopes of cheoting cure. 1t is said that
the fever which produced this terrible
malady, was caused by the operation Of
Mesmerism. Insanity, however is here
ditary in the family.

Bounty Land Layys--tbe Benesi-
Charles.

1t appears, from statement OF the Adj
iutant General, that there were enrolled,
militia and volunteers
In theBlack Hawk and Sem
mole wars, 24,9S4 men.
In the Creek, disturbances,
(militia,) 2O,O4O "
War Of 1912, (militia,) 46l 900 "
Regular army, $4,000
Add to these (says a correspondent OF
the New York Herald) the officers of the
Mexican war, the soldiers of all kinds OF
the Indian wars of 1870, and of Gener-
al Harrison's Tippecanoe campaigns of
1871, and we have an aggregate, prob
ably, not less than 100000 men.
Deducting those who have died with
out families, those whose widows have
died, and whose children have grown up,
and deducting those who will not think
it worth while to apply for the bounty,
the applications will hardly exceed r.
700 men. We suspect, however, that
the Adiutant General has not included
General Jackson's Indian wars in 1918
and 1919 in his estimate, nor the VOL
unteers engaged in New Mexico, Texas,
California ond Oregon, to fight the In
dams, all of whom are entitled to the
bountes, at least to the close of the Mex
lean Chicago Journal.
