A CLERGYMAN.-An old and valua-
bic subscriber has sent US a certificate
from one of his Pensioners, which he
wishes published for the benefit of his
neighbors, and the community at large.
1t states on authority that needs no con-
firmation, the particulars Of a remarka-
bic cure by Ayers Cherry Pectoral, an
article we have already taken occasion to
notice, and which we have reason 10 be-
lieve is worth notice. This sufferer had
been reduced very low from the effects
of Cold and Cough, caused by over ex-
ertion at a FIRE, nearly three years since.
and from which it was evident tn his
friends that he was fast hastei,ino n
premature grave. Many of the RENE
dies OF the day and the advice of eminent
Physicians had all failed to afford him re-
lief, when he was induced to try the
Cherry Pectoral, which soon cured him
The crowded state of our columns will
not admit the full particulars, but we
earnestly invite the attention of orr rea.
ders to the advertisement in another part
| OF our paper Christian Chronicle.

WINTER AND CLIMATE.

It will long be remembered that the
winter proper Of 1853 and 4, common
ced about the first of January. The
weather before was mild, -what would
be called moderate fall weather. Only
a few days had been disagreeably cold,
and out door labor went on without in
terruption from the cold. From our re-
collection of former winters, and from
the recollections Of older residents of the
country, we conclude the usua! begin
ming Of winter, for the latitude Of South
ern Wisconsin, is about the Goth of No
vember, or few days later. It is Gus
tomary with farmers to look to that date
when their fall work has TO be out of the
way. Then it is expected an extra suit
of clothing will be wanted; overshoes,
buck mittens, and other double breasted
works are indispensable in the latitude
of Wisconsin,.
Many affirm that the winters during
the first settlement 81 the country were
much more severe than since; also, that
the climate modifes every year, and is
becoming more regular-the extremes of
heat and cold being less, and not so sud-
den as in early times. These statements
from experience are altogether reasona
BILE, and in perfect harmony with the ac-
tual observations of Baron Humboldt,
whose writings upon the Causes of Gil
macteric notifications, perfectly coin
eide with the experience of those who
devote less Of their time and thoughts to
such matters.
1t is not less remarkable that the guam
titles of snow and rain falling annually,
are considerably diminished from the
same causes perhaps which modify the
climate,-we mean the settlement, clear
ing out and cultivation of the lands.--
There are no doubt many causes, natu-
raj and artificial, seen and invisible, at
work, influencing heat and cold, neutra-
lizing and provoking extremes. Some
of them are known and account ed fer
others not, but ali eflecting the visible
changes. One thing is certain the at
mosphere as well as the earth, is a
grand laboratory forimanufacturingssarti-
cles to supply our wants, and great
many things that we don't want. That
reforms are going on in this invisible poi
house, is TO us more probable, than that
our currency is being reformed by the
manufacture Of paper dollars.

FROM MADISON.
Madison, Jan. Z, 1854.

Madison, Jan. Z, 1854.
Mr.. Ep1roR: Since we have entered
upon the new year, Madison has become
more lively as we'll as interesting. Mon
day last-being the day ordained by Gus
tom as sNew- Years. was one long to
be remembered by the citizens of this
place. Besides the usual Operations
on such day, it was highly commemo-
rated by the opening Of the "New Ho-
tel'' or capitol Hotel" and the inaug-
uration of the new State Officers, with
the exception Of 1t. Gov. Lewis, Messrs.
Barstow, Dennis, &C., took the official
oaths in the Capitol, at 10 A. M. I'D
entered upon their official duties. The
sNew Hotel" is great ornament to the
place. From its external as well as in
teinal appearance l judge it will COM
pare well with the best of hotels west
of New York. 1t is furnished in fine
style and very conveniently arranged
I think members will leave town, after
the Session, with less complaint than u
sual.
The Supreme Court has resumed its
sittings but its business is of very lit
tie interest. The Case of Hungerford
at. al. Uersus Gushing, it is supposed will
be argued next week. 1t is case OF
some considerable importance involving
large amount of property and has been
in law some time.
If person should go abou. Madison
little, he would soon imagine the time
for the Session of the Legislature was
near at hand; for the "preludes' such
as "Lcbbies." 'sFaro Banks" and other
such operations, have been collecting
quite fast of late. / suppose the ''Hou.
Body" will be here next week, and let
us all pray that they may do some good
for the people, and not be all winter a.
bout it either. The sleighing here is
very good and weather cold.

SoNoRA.-Letters have been recei-
we'd and published in The Herald, giving
glowing descriptions Of The varied min
eral wealth of this Mexican State.
The silver mines are represented as
being particularly rich, and have been
heretofore but little worked. This has
been caused in great measure by the
dread entertained Of the Apaches. Some
of the accounts represent the mines to
be even richer than those of California.
The State Of Sonora is represented to
be fast verging upon acknowledgements
The inhabitants are reduced to such a
state of Indebtedness that it is believed
they would hail with pleasure any i'm
migration calculated to produce change
in their present condition. Such an imi-
grafton from California it is said would
be hailed with satisfaction. The Mexi-
can authorities are looking out with great
jealousy for the arrival Of filibustering

EgThe article intended for the HER
AID, by "Ercauofor," entitled les pion-
age in the Camp" is declined. There
are illusions in it which convey strong
err personal meaning, than if the names
alluded to were written out. 1t may all
be true that particular person in Grant
County, himself engaged in trade, is
constantly acting the spy, over all other
merchants in the county, on behalf SOU
thern wholesale dealers but we can
hardly believe one SO totally destitute OF
manly principle would be employed. -
The dark hint at ''lynch," we cannot ap-
prove under any circumstances unless
for crimes entirely outside the reach OF

MIL. g. MISS. r.. R.-MUsCODA.

This road, about which so little is
known, is now completed within three
hours drive of the State Capitol. In a
month or two it will be finished to
the Capital, and in the course of next
summer, to the Wisconsin river.
We have always believed the Direc-
tors made very foolish blunder in run
ming it down near GAINESVILLE, and then
at almost right angle, up to Madison.
Allowing the route now agreed on be-
tween Madison, Arena and the Missis-
sippi at Prairie du Chen, the road
from Milwaukee through would be al
most on an airline, but for the James
Vile elbow, Of nearly ninety degrees
The trade of GAINESVILLE never will be
worth the fish bait expended by Mil
waukee-never. Had they run on near
ly all airline from Milwaukee to Madi-
son, their road would be worth more
this day, double hereafter, and in the fu-
ture its designers would be entitled to
some credit. But, it is as it is, and the
best must be made of it.
The road will doubtless Cor rather
without doubt, be finished to the Wis
consin river next summer, when almost
the full advantages of railroad connex-
ion with the Lakes and the East will be
enjoyed by farmers. along the Wisconsin
river, and within half days drive of
it. Small steamers, adapted to the Wis
consin river trade, will ply in droves,
and arrangements will be made at eve-
ny landing on the Wisconsin, 10 receive
and forward freight for the railroad at
Arena.
TIE chief trading point on the south
side of the Wisconsin river, between
Arena and the mouth will be at Musco-
da. No other place has made arrange
ments, or can, in time TO do anything
So that Muscoda will do fine monopo-
LIKING business for few months after
the railroad is finished to the Wisconsin.
That village has more than ordinary ad-
vantages for disadvantages that are
not now seen nor understood, even
by those who reside there, and dream Of
the golden fleece growing elsewhere on
barren shore. Muscoda, to be known
and developed, must go to work and
make good roads-towards Fennimore,
and in several other direc-
tons. Till Muscoda has roads the coun-
try will not trade there. Nature has
almost made half-a dozen roads, and the
outlay will be precious little to make
them good enough to transport grain and
lumber upon, TO and from the back set

VILLAGE PROPRHETogs.

Village proprietors seldom pursue the
proper course to get their property into
profitable market. Their folly is less
excusable than the folly of any other
sinners on earth, we believe, for they
sin against their own pockets, as we'll
as their neighbors' pockets, end against
heaven. Most of them hold thei, lots
at 500 per cent. over their value, and at
double what they will bring, except from
fools, who newer have any money
Death and the sheriff are the only means
70 get at more than a thousand lots in
Grant County,-lots that there are no
hopes of getting at, except after the pro-
prletors' death, or upon execution and
sale by the sheriff-for either of which
there are many righteous prayers ascen-
ding up on high. We do not believe "a
ny naked lot in Grant County is worth
over 500, and in nineteen cases out Of
twenty, not over So; yet there are lots
held at two TO five hundred dollars The
evil does not extend to land property, for
men wanting farms never can be fooled
to pay much over value. Our best viii
lage sites however, have been kept back
by their impolitic proprietors, until 9TH
ers having far less advantages but more
intelligent owners, have so far outstrip-
ped them as 10 be clear of future rival

THE aENS'' AND THE ssOUTS.o

We went to the Capitol yesterday land
in company with few of our citizens,
tlons of the State, witnessed the inaugu-
ration of ''Barstow and the balance .
''Dennis & Co.. &C., sc.
All the new officers were present,
with the exception of Lieut.. Governor
Lewis. The oath of office was admins
tered by Judge Eddy, of this place,
whereupon, there was general con-
graduation between the 'souts" and the
"ans"-the outs congratulating the ins
upon,their good fortune in being elected,
and the ins comforting the outs upon
their escape from the tolls and perplex-
tiles of public service.

CURED. With an mistaken reliance up
on the ultimate triumph of reason and
common sense, over prejudices Of the
moment and narrow local interests, he
has followed the dictates of an unbiased
judgement, and, notwithstanding the vi
tuperations of envious politicians, and
the blind fury which at one time prevail
&c against him in certain localities, the
wisdom Of this course at length became
apparent, and it has resulted in winning
the confidence OF the whole people of
the State. He has shown them that he
was above trucking to every sudden tu-
multi raised against him, in order to gain
popularity. He has made no efforts to
lay the wires for future operations, as
would have been the case with politi-
clan. He has proved also, that integri-
ty of conduct, a strict regard to the best
interests of the State, and straight-for-
ward policy, will in the end, secure the
appreciation of the public, much more
surely than the tricks and double deal
ing which are so much relied upon by
the mere political aspirant. This should
be remembered by politicians, and we
should like to see few more expert
ments of the same kind made. To the
people of this State it is so fresh and
novel that it cannot fail to be popular

GERMAN EXPEDITION TO SoEoRA.-Wt
mentioned some days sincethe arrival OF
the bark Tryphenia, from Guaymas, hav
ing on board German who was DESTROYS
of induci, G Germans 10 emigrate to So
nora. A number of Germans in this city
proposes forming company TO go thith-
er, and we have obtained some informa-
ton in regard to their plans.
The company will be composed only
of Germans. They desire no Ameri-
cans, no French /; none of any nation
save Germans. This exclnsiveness is
not because they have any objection to
persons of other nations, but because
they go upon invitation Of Governor
Gandara, who invites none but Germans.
The Spanish Americans are particularly
partial to the Germans. The latter
learn the Spanish readily, and are socia-
BILE and intelligent.
Perhaps the principal reason that the
Germans are acceptable to the Spanish
is, that Germany has no fleet, and no
hope of obtaining foothold in America,
and the individual Germans have
shown no filibustering disposition
They have not been sufficiently numer
GUS to obtain any strong political in
tiuence, and, therefore, have not made
enemies of any class. They are like
wise not SO unpopular with the clergy,
on account of their religious views, as
the English and Americans, who are
looked upon as dangerous heretics.-
The remembrance of the former pros
porous union of Germany and Spain, un-
der the great empire of Charles ", may
have some slight influence in maintain
ing the good will now existing; whereas
Spain and Spanish America have had
repeated difficulties withEngla nd, France
and the United States, ard the grasping
spirit Of all three has made many enc
mics for them Alta Californian.

AMERICAN INGENuIrY.--Among the
multitudinous objects in the Patent Of
flee at Washington, aud which evince
what skill can do, "is an invention that
picks up pins from confused, heap,

sticks them in papers in regular rows,
another goes through the whole pro-
cess of cigar making, taking in tobacco
leaves and turning out the perfect article.
One machine cuts cheese; another
scours knives and forks; another blacks
boots; another rocks the cradle and
seven or eight takes in washing and j.
roning. Another patent is for ma
chine that counts the passengers in an

fat man gets in, it counts two, and
charges double. There are variety of
guns that load themselves fish line
that adjusts its own bait and rat trap
