urging from her mistress, confessed the OBJ

the kitchen fireplace! He married the
girl Immediately, and they have twelve
children

BE Rev. Henry Wood, late editor of the
Congregationalist, in Concord, N. H., has
received the appointment Of Chaplain in
the United States Navy. This reverend
gentleman is one of the lucky kind-in
1850, he took strong ground in his paper
in favor of the Compromise measures Of
that year, and for it received from Mr.
Webster, then Secretary Of State, an ap-
pointment to publish the United States
Laws, DC, "by authority and he is the
same minister who certified during the late
presidential campaign, to the strict religious
moral, and temperate habits Of Franklin
Pierce. For this stretch Of conscience he
is now receiving his reward. Such ser
vice should receive good and prompt pay

seven inches in circumference. The ami

For the Grant County Herald.

Mr.. Editor: In sending you my wealth
Ter predictions for the month of July, pur-
pose doing the same as this month---that
lis, giving the specultlm.
On the 4th Mercury enters the Dragons
tail, which, at this season Of the year, great
" influences showery weather. On the
18th Venus and Saturn are in conjunction
in the 18th degree of the Constellation
Gemini, giving wind and rain. On the
18th the Sun and Jupiter are in opposition
aspect---causing heat at this time, and
sometimes rain. On the 21st the Moon
and Venus are in conjunction in the 23rd
degree Of the sign Gemini, causing RAIN
On the Goth Mercury and Mars are in sex
tile aspect, again causing rain. On the
goth Mars enters the Dragons tail, which
influences not only rain but cool air.
To sum up the whole, the following
particulars are what anticipate the wea-
Their may be: WINDY and unsettled at the
beginning of the nsontl laeting several
days; but near the 18th the wind will
gradually increase, and at last bring fair
weather. Somewhat changeable but gen
orally fair about the Dist. From the 18th
to the end of the month expect frequent
showers and a cooler atmosphere.
With anxious heart the farmer seeks
Some sign to ascertain
Whether the low-hung, heavy clouds,
Will soon descend in rain.
And if the twitling swallows flight
Be low, and near the ground,
Or if the village smoke descend,
A sure presage is found.

MEN OF THE REvoLUTToN.-Ge Green
in his dispatches, after the battle of Eu-
taw, says: "IIundreds of my men were ma
ked as they were born" Judge Johnson in
his Life of Green, says: ''Posterity will
scarcely believe that the loins of many men
who carried death into the enemy's ranks
at Eutaw, We're CALLED by their cartouch
boxes, while a fold of rag or tuft Of moss,
protected the shoulder from the same inju-
-ry by the musket.' Gen. Green, in his
letters to the Secretary Of War, says: eve
have three hundred men without arms, and
more than one thousand so naked that they
can be put on only in the most desperate
cases. Our difficulties are so enormous,
and our wants SO pressing that I have not
a moments relief from the most painful
anxieties | have more endorsements
than it is proper to disclose to the world"

The Wisconsin Patriot IS ney

ES- The Wisconsin Patriot is a new
Democratic paper started lately at Madi-
son By MARsroN q TENNY-H. A. TENNY,
former joint proprietor Of the .Argus with
BERIAH brown. He is one of the best
political writers in the State, though we
fear he occupies a suicidal position upon
some questions; the Patriot goes with
Douglas and the South, though objects to
making the late Nebraska affair test of
IDemocracy--thereby supporting a reconci-
liation between those whom the .Rrgas de-
Isignates as abolitionists and the Douglas
men. We admire and honor the open
lfrankness Of the Patriot, as exhibited in
the following portion of Its second leader:
4 party Of freedom can mean nothing
less than party opposed to slavery. It
is the beating up for volunteers to fight
the battles Of freedom against slavery
And if this is not rank abolitionisnl we
would like somebody to inform US what is !;
and if abolitionism is not disunion, the or
gans Of the two great parties of the coun-
try for the last fifteen years have heaped
up mountains Of falsehood upon the sub
ject to mislead the public mind. We can
not take this step. We should not dare
to throw fire brand among such combus-
tible materials. We were opposed to the
measure and had we been in position to
do SO, would have made all reasonable ex-
ertions to defeat it; but it is done, and how
can we help it? You may carry the next
House Of Representatives, but cannot shake
the Senate; and if death does not inter
pose, the President has guarantee last
ing till March, 1857. To us the compro-
misses of 1850 were much more unpalata-
bic, and whether right or wrong, the SEN
timent of the whole North was greatly
outraged by them; and though the act
was consummated uaader Wing admin
istratiop, and under the leadership of such
distinguished Wings as Clay and Webster,
we did not think of turning abolitionist, or
the world upside down. We had to ''grin
and bear it, and in all prudence and pat
riotism we can see no other way now
Had our members in Congress committed
a wrong by violating the known will of
their constituents, or any corrupt act, we
would give them rebuke at the ballot
box the first opportunity, but instead Of
that they acre unanimously opposed to The
aseasiwe. And this suggests to our mind
a query: Whether, if Messrs. Wells, East
man and Macy are candidates for re-elec-
ton next fall, it is the purpose of this 18th
July organization to aid them by proclaim
ing throughout our extended borders,
!" Well done, good and faithful SERVANTS, F"
return ye to the seals ye haze so higiy hon
ored And the same in relation to SEN
ator Walker whose place is to be filed by
the Legislature next winter. II SO, it viii
be strong evidence Of sincerity, and con-
|sistency itself. IF not, and the Nebraska
Democrats are suffered to send these gem.
tlemen into retirement, what shall we say
and what viii the world say? They will
be deprived Of the poor excuse that they
are Locofocos, because the proposed con-
Ivention is to merge all former distinctions.
1t is The people who are called to meet.
