Price of Lead.

. From that reliable paper, the New-York
Tribune, we learn that Gaena Lead is worth
in New York from S5,87 to 5000 per hundred
pounds. English and Spanish lead is not worth
so much by 25 to 80 cents on the hundred.
We do not believe the price will rise much
over this or if it does, the cause will not be
in the scarcity and commercial demand, but in
a monopoly of the article. Monopoly was the
true cause Of the unprecedented rise last win
ter, and there is danger, more than ever, of ST.
milar operations again. Sme,ters and miners
should pay no attention to Sudden rises and de-
pressons in the Lead market-there being no
genuine necessities for such fluctuations. The
consumption of Lead is considerably on the
increase, one year with another, so there will
be corresponding increase of demand and
price. Whether the supply will be evenly in
creased with the demand depends on circum-
stances. We doubt whether it will, since late
mining operations for other metals, have drawn
so largely on the labor of Wisconsin and other
Lead mines. The Lead product of the Wis
consin miners may be equal this year, to that
of any former year, yet the consumption for
the current year is doubtless much larger than
ever it was

The Harvest secured.

A large harvest is now safely slowed
in the barn and stack. The weather has
been favorable throughout, and very 1T
tie loss has been suffered from rain and
damp weather. Now since all is safe,
the farmer asks what is to be done with
his grain. Those who are in debt, will
be in hurry to sell, but we don't be-
lieve there are many who are bound TO
sell at sacaifce. That there will be
buyers enough, offering fair prices, we
have no doubt, but it will be some time
before they are on hand. Meanwhile,
Railroads are coming at the rate of half
a mile or mile day, and soon load
can be taken to the depot in one day and
back the next then team can go and
return in day, and there will be back
loading enough to pay expenses.
1t is probable however, that most all
the crop Of this season will be needed
for home use, and that there will not be
much surplus after all. Emigration, in
crease of mining labor, and laborers on
Railroads, will provide heavy draw on
farmers. products this year. The long
er you can hold on to your produce, the
nearer will your sales approach Milwau-
kee and Chicago prices. There may be
some complaint about suanf Of market this
year, but we think this is about the end
of such complaints, for by another sea-
son, there will be an endless demand.

RAILROAD IRoN.-The duties paid on

In Wisconsin, ten Railroads are now

A true bill. Wisconsin, after suffer-
ing two or three years from temporary
causes, has fairly "weathered the cape''

prosperously, with bright skies above

lore have our farmers been favored with
such abundant and excellent crops. or
with the prospect Of better prices. In
no previous year has labor commanded
SO high price, or been in such steady
demand. Emigration, from the COM

Grant County Pauper Farm.

This necessary evil, is now under the care of
Mr.. JAMES JONES. He has the farm by lease
for three years from 1st April last, and for
which he is TO pay the County rent of 500
per annum. He is bound to keep, cothe and
furnish medical aid for all county paupers, for
which the county is to pay him 50 a head per
week. The agreement also binds him to sup
port in the same manner, and at the same rate
of charge. the paupers of all towns; but the
towns may keep their own paupers if they
choose. When Town paupers are delivered
to him, he is bound to take them at So a week.
There is distinction between Town and Coun-
tY paupers, which some of our readers NAV not
understand. When citizen Or resident of
any town becomes pauper, then he is known
as s'Town pauper" but when pauper hap
pens in the county, having no recognised resi-
dence in any particular town, he is known as
"County Pauper.n Why the distinction, we
are unable TO tel, except that the law makes
it.
For once, the County Board has hit upon an
economical track with her paupers. We be-
lleve the lease of the farm to Mr.. JONES, and
the cost and manEsr he has agreed to keep
these unfortunate beings, will be approved by
all who don't make fault-fnding a trade. The
County Commissioners, years ago, gave the
keeping of the paupers to doctor, at stipu-
latea p..ice for the lot, whether The number be
many or few. That was sickly year, SO the

Two MEN KIDNAppED-GREAr Ex-

Two MEN KIDNAPPED-GREAr Elk
cITEMENT.-On Saturday and Sunday
two black men, recently from st. Louis,
were missed, and suspicious were arous-
ed that they had been kidEapped,as mar
who claimed them as slaves had been
here several days. On inquiry, it was
ascertained that on Friday evening,
they were seen at the Southern Rail-
road depot, and were about consumma-
ting an arrangement with another black
man to go to the country TO work. On
Monday morning, however, it was as
certained that the black man alluded to
had been used as a decoy, and that the
two men had been kidnapped through
his fundamentally, and taken off TO St.
Louis. When the facts became fully
known, our colored, as we'll as also a
portion Of our white, population, was in
a highly excited state, and parties Of
men started out in different directions
to find the man who had the kidnapping
done, as it was known he had remained
in the city to avoid suspicion and pur-
suit. We believe he was not found,
and it is probably well for him and the
quiet of our city that he was not, for
there is no telling what would have be-
come cf him had he fallen into the hands
of twenty or thirty men, who were
wrought up to the highest pitch of ex-
element, and determined on inficting
summary" punishment.
We cannot refrain from again caution
ing persons against attempting 10 take
runaway slaves in this city. Even fthey
succeed, it is attended with much dam
ger and expense. Our black population
are generally EARNED to the teeth" and
they feel that public sentiment sustains
them in resisting all attempts against
their liberty. Whether they think just
" or not not ofmuch consequence. Ger
tain it is, however, there is in the hearts
of our citizens no sympathy for the slave
hunter, but vast deal for the slave
and every attempt to kidnap anyss black
person to slavery, under the Fugitive
Law, tends to deepen that sentiment and
make it stronger than statuary enact
ments. We speak freely, for it is but

most costly ones) to the eastern mar

at present rates, to get them to the mar
ket by railroad than by foot, yet there is
great deal of time saved, and the ami
mails arrive in excellent condition, and
consequently bring better prices. A lot
OF twenty two were recently transported
BY railroad from Wayne county, Ohio,
TO New York, at cost Ct $15 per head.

to carry them. Horses can now be
transported from Alton to New York,

York. This is another evidence of the
