1.-THE German citizens of the town
Of Prairie du Sac, Wis, held meeting
on the 9th inst, and resolved that party
oaucussing is anti-progressive, behind
the age, and anti-republican; that they
will support no man who refuses to make
known his opinions fully and without re-
serve; that they will support no man at
the coming election who does not sustain
a good moral character, and refuses to
use all his influence to defeat the pas
sage of the Maine Liquor Law. They
also resolved that the Maine Law is cal
culated to increase drunkenness, and pro-
mote hypocrisy.
Here is the most singularly framed OF
all their resolutions:
"ResoIved, that we believe that this
temperance business, which has made
since short time, SO much rumor, comes
a great deal, from unsatisfed office seek
ers Of all parties, who use the same to
make political capital out of it, to ride
into Office with"

1.-THE shullsburgh Pick and Gad
since the drunken affray terminating in
murder took place in that village, has
come out strongly in favor of the Maine
Law. Tie editor says:
Gin our own county and the mines
generally, we expect the greatest major
ity IN favor of Prehibitory Liquor Law
and from the hands of our most invete.
rate drinkers, the most willing votes Of
that majority. If all portions of the
State do likewise, the desired end will
be achieved"

SMALL CHANGE General Government
has ordered the U. S. Mint TO manufacture a
large quantity of silver coin, largely mixed
with base metal, and Of course the issue is Of
less value than the old coin, with King An
drew's head on. The consequence may be told
by any one capable of cyphering to the double
rule-of-three sneaking out of circulation of
all the old coin into the chests Of bankers, to
be kept for the premium that must ultimately
be offered. Even now, silver is at premium,
and it is almost impossible to get along in small
business matters for want Of silver change. -
We have no remedy to propose, for there is
none. shinplasters would make the trouble
worse. The practice of taking and passing 8
cent coins for SIS in some places, drove most
all the latter out Of circulation. 1t should no
longer be practised. Two of them for 5 cents
would be nearer right, and then our cent
coins would come into use again.

the C.inch Bug in Mr.. Rays fields. in
the tow n Of Smelser, elearn from Mr..
Henry W. Hodges, an old resident far
mer in the south part of Lancaster, that
colony of the same kind of insects,
have totally destroyed six acres of spring
wheat for him this summer, and are now
at work on his corn. Colony we say,
for they seem TO colonize from one farm
TO another, commonly attacking fields
that ripen frstin the season. The remedy
proposed by writers, is to set fire to the
wheat and stubble and burn over the
field. This destroys or weakens the col
ony so that they are pretty sure to die
off by another year.

Apart from the large quantities Of
timber used for fuel, fences and build
ings in the South parts of Grant County,
and in Lafayette and Iowa Counties,
there is large amount consumed in
smelling lead ore. There will De anoth-
er heavy draw upon our forests to sup
RI, tho .4ean, pumps, that are being, and
about to be erected in various quarters.
We have no doubt of the complete sue
cess Of the .anse,ican Mining Company,
in pumping eff the water, TO great
depth, from hundreds of acres near Fair
play. A few weeks OF months will COM
plete the triumph of their machinery and
skill. Then, pumping apparatus of a
perfect model like theirs, will be put on
each water-diggings, where large leads
are known to exist. There is no mis-
take about it; we have lorg believed
that mining would resolve in about this
manner, and be carried on by enterprising
men Of skill and learning, with plenty Of
capital to remunerate for years Of study
individuals and companies, having large
capitals at command, will embark in the
ownership of cur mineral lands, and will
erect machinery for pumping off the wa
tiers, and sinking shafts to double and
triple the depths heretofore sunk by sin
gle-handed miners. Such change is at
hand, and fair trial is to be had, by a
responsible company, having the energy,
and aided by learned and experienced
operators.
Then there will be an extravagant de-
nand for fuel. Large supplies may be
had from the Mississippi and Wisconsin
river Islands, but they will be exhausted
IL time for these and similar uses. We
are not in the least alarmed however, for
there is an exhaustless supply at hand
available, and cheaper than any fuel now
used in the mines: we now refer to the
immense and scarcely known coal fields
Of Illinois. The Illinois Central Rail-
road will be finished TO Galena in few
short months, and to Dubuque about the
same time. A Railroad will be made
to connect with Potosi, even should the
Southern Wisconsin Road fail. A Plank
road is also nearly completed from Gale
ma to the State line towards Hazel Green,
and may, at any time, be extended to
Hazel Green, and from there in various
directions. A Branch Railroad at Min
eral Point, running south will intercept
the Central. BY these means, coal may
be brought to any parts of ours and the
adjoining counties, where the most ex-l
tensive mining, pumping and smeltingI
works are likely to be carried on. The
cost of transportation on coal cannot be
over five cents bushel, or seven att
most. Coal will then be much cheaper
than wood, and will be used in the kitch-
en- and parlor, as well as for driving ma
chinery. We have no fears that our for
ests are to be exhausted for fuel, for
there is coal enough in Illinois to SUPPLY
the west for 500 years, however large
the demand.
