WINTER HAS COME,

But once before in our residence in the State,
have we known the Winter to set in SO earnest and
positively as it has this month. In 1912, Novem-
Der llth the snow fell and remained on the ground
affording good sleighing until the 10th of April
following. We have had a shake or two of the
feecy material from the clouds, but hardly enough
to whtcn the ground as yet. The Madison pa
per says they had sleighing there on the 18th of
! this month The frost King has shown his pow
er in another manner in this quarter The ground
has been frozen hard, and we now hear the wag-
ons rattle over the frozen and hubby ground in
stead of seeing them struggling to cxtricate them
selves from the deep ruts of mud. 1t bchoovcs
therefore, all consderate and careful farmers and
gardeners to that their roots are all dug and
slowed away in the warm cellar, not forgetting to
take the Cabbages in pretty soon, although they
will bear considerable of a frost-yet it is our
private opinion the less they are frozen the more
palatable they are.
The COWS and oxen, and young cattle of all
kinds, should not be compelled to suffer for want of
sheds and protec ions this Winter, as we have
seen them too often heretofore. 1t is little if any
thing less than crime, for a man TO keep stock
which he is too lazy or slack to shelter from the
driving storm from the East, and the singing cold
from the WeSt-cspecially, when for the price of
but one of his cows he can procure lumber sufi-
cient to protect a dozen. If any such men are on
our subscription list will sell the account for
ten cents on the dollar. We have no faith nor
confidence in the perpendicular animal The is no
man) who is so thoughtless and cruel as not to
give shelter in the Winter to the dumb animals
which are so unfortunate as to be owned by him.
eve hope then these few lines will find" them and
our readers enjoying the same blessing" that we
arc, as we sit sheltered and comfortable. Finish
then, good husband, the pressing out doors
work Immediately, that the bounties of the Sum
mcr'S yield may not be lost through thy slack
ness in the frost of a November night. Take your
hay and wood, which everybody is beginning to
want to market, or some turkies and chickens
and carry home some yarn, if thy good wife has
not already made it from the clippings of the back
of the sheep, that the little ones may have warm
feet Get the boys and girls who will 90 to school,
some stout shoes or boots, so that they may have
no excuse for remaining at home because the roads
are little sloppy-thus will you discharge your
Guy to those who are entrusted to your care
show yourselves good citizens, and prepare your
children for usefulness and ornaments in the world
Winter has its uses, and if properly improved by
the old and the young, will be of incaculable ben
eft to those who know how to enjoy it.

Distressing RumOr.

1t is feared that the Hendrick Hudson was lost
on lake Erie in the storm of Thursday last with
all her passengers and crew. The following ex-
tract from the Chicago Journal, confirms the re-
port, though we hope the passengers and crew
were saved.
Saturday last and yesterday, there were many
rumorS floating about the city of the loss of the
steamers on Lake Eric. Upon careful inquiry we
find that all the regular mail and passenger boats
of the Central and Southern Railroad lines, have
been heard from, and are safe.
The steamer Hendrix Hudson, having on board
a large number of hogs as near as we can ascer-
tam, went to pieces between Cleveland and Buffl-
10. A gentleman from Sandusky informs US that
schooner reports having seen the upper deck of
steamer floating in the lake. and large numbers
OF dead hogs about it-thiS is supposed to be the
wreck of the Hudson. Telegraph Yesterday, re-
ports many small boats ashore bnt gives no names
and nothing definite with regard to the losses At
Toledo, during the height OF the storm on Thurs
day night last, the water sank in the lake over sew
en- feet; and at Sandusky we are informed that the
boats near the docks so fast aground rs to
prevent their being moved. The regular mail boat
after great delay, was, with much difficulty, work
ed out of the harbor.

A single glance at the above table shows the
gross untruth of the Free Democrats statement
Mr.. WELLS received only 246 votes more than
were cast for Mr.. PIERCE. Mr.. DURKEE rcceiv-
cd 1872 more than Mr.. HALE, and Mr.. DURAxD
1918 less than Mr.. SCOTT. Here is conclusive
and irresistible proof that twice or thrice as ma
ny Wings voted for Mr.. DURKEE as voted for
Mr.. WELLS. 1t is equally clear that Mr. WELLS
would have been elected by two thousand maiori-
ty, had he not received a single Wing vote in the
entire District. SO much for the Free Democrats
" fact"
A few words as to its charges. 1t repeats the
ftSchood, which it invented and published, before
election, that Mr.. TwEEDY and ourselves, while
publicly working for Mr. DURAND were secret
ly plotting TO elect Mr.. WELLS" We again brand
this charge as ,caton deliberate and lrhoiSaLc Gtb
ricdtion.
The Free Democrat, however, has the face to Of
Ter what 1t calls proofs i'll support of its base
coinage. These are, first, that cover thousand
wings in this county voted for Wells" False !
The canvass shows that Mr.. DURAND received
just $50 votes in this county less than Gen Scorr
while Mr.. WELLS received 4O3, and Mr.. DURKEE
365 more than their respective Presidential can
ddates OF the Wing votes which Mr. DURAxp
lost Mr.. WELLS probably received 800 and Mr.
DURKEE 200 or 25O. But whatever the proper
tion no Wing, here or elsewhere, voted for either
Mr.. WELLS, or Mr.. DCRKEr, by our advice or
procurement. The Free Democrats second proof
Is, liltiL We TCjOlCeu tllt MI w ELLIS was elect
ed, since Mr.. DURAND was not" So we did and
do but that "proves" nothing, save that we think
MIR. WELLS a better man for the post than Mr.
DuRKEE. The Free Democrat need be at no pains
to prove that. We admit it unhesitatingly New
thelcss we should have preferred Mr.. DURAxD to
either and did our best, publicly and privately, to
secure his election.
Lastly, and by way of clncher, the Free
Democrat points TO Mr.. TwEEDY's election in
the First Ward "by democratic votes as fur
ther proof of this " secret plot" Or as that i'm
aginative paper fgurativey expresses it;
Jenny Lind elects Daniel Wells to Congress,
and the Democrats, in return, send Jenny to the
Legislature. It's fair bargain, &c. &C."
There was no bargain" in the case. That Mr..
TwEEDY was elected by democratic votes" Is
undcnable, and we give the Democrats who yo-
cd for him every credit for the good work. But
that Mr.. Twecdy, or the Wing party, or the cdi-
tors of the Sentinel agreed, in return, to support
Mr.. WELLS for Congress, or advised, abettcd,
countcnanccd, or conniyed at any such plot"
bargain" or arrangement; or that they did not
honestly and in good faith, in public and private,
from first to last, stand by, support and vote for
HENRY S. DURAND the Wing candidate for Repre-
sentative, is an utter fasehood and whoever as
serts it an INSCRIPTIONS fabricator. And that is
about it.

C. LATHAM SHoLEs is returned to the Assem-
bly, from Kenosha County, by majority of ten.
Last year his majority over the same opponent
was eight.
This information is taken from the Waukesha
Democrat Last year this Same opponent did
not run. Mr.. Sholes' majority last year was six
ty-eight votes over the Wing candidate, and one
hundred and eighteen over the Hunker Then
all three of the candidates run on the merits of
their parties. This year Mr. Sholes' majority was
fifteen over the Democratic and Anti-Maine Law
candidate, and one hundred and ninety over the
nominee of the Wings.

1t is the duty of the Free Democracy to grid on
their afresh for another siege of four wears

"Wel grid it on and tear away For twenty
years Harrison has taken the same course and his
faction is as small now as it ever was If the peo-
pie are not all FOOLS it must ever be the same with
the Free Democracy. The Cabling of geese
might have saved Rome, but America has other

bltlon OF Spunk in politics is cvervthing-and the
abolitonists seem to have as much of as the old

ton party is not without its uses 1t is the drers
at the bottom of the kettle, which leaves the rest
oil the purer; a sort of boil on the BODY polite
which lets off the bad blood and morbid humors
OF the system. We wouldn't have that sweet lit
tie party die for anything. 1t is a standing warn
ing against political vice. When we are weak
and want to ''whip the wings" it is a convenient
thing TO buy, occasionally, with few small Off
ces- When we get dangerously strong, it encen-
derS an excellent spirit in our own ranks by uni
ting with the wings Then again, like a Kings

End of the WING Party.

The New York Tribune thus acknowledges that
the recent Wing defeat is Ji,al and that the Wing
party is ANNIHILATED. Hear it
"Gcn. Scott is overwhelmingly defeated, and
the Wing party not merely discomftted but ami
hilated. We have no prophetic ken, and make
no prctcnsions to reading the future; but we do
not see how the Wing party as such can ever be
rallied again Defeat is but an accident, TO which
any party may be subjected; but a defeat based
on comprehensive, systematic trcachcry, like that
just experienced, can hardly be other than concu-
Sive."
ANOTHER SIGNAL OF DIsTREss.-Thc New
buryport Herald gives up all hope of ever again
rallying the Wing party. 1t says:
1.-The Wing party is in all probability disband-
cd in the Nation and it is doubtful if any attempt
will be made for a new organization, as it has no
leaders who are in position to rally it. Some
will join the Free SOilcrs and some the Democrat
ic party, and many will withdraw from the polit-
cal arena, until new issues arise, requiring them
to come forth"

have been strengthened by large aceessions from
