CHARacrERIsTIc-The Madison Argus at
tempts 10 screen itself from the charge of false
hood respecting the real cause ofProfesso1 Daniels
removal, in the following characteristic manner.
We give the editor the fall benefit by copying his
remarks entire:
The Mineral Point Tribune is not satisfied with
the removal of Professor Daniels and the appoint
nent of Mr.. Percival. As that paper seems to be
alone IN the expression of any decided objections
10 the change it may fairly be allowed to digest ITS
own spleen and the hard words it uses. We do
not propose TO get up an issue with him, and we
leave him to the enjoyment of the capital he can
make among minors by such dull and hollow COM
piimeuts hard fsfed,' and the other set trash
of hattery that he bestows upon them.
We expressed no decided objection to the
change" but only objected to the uncalled for at
tack of the Argus upon Mr.. Daniels scientific
reputation. The following, which expresses the
sentiment of two Democratic papers, is the same
as is manifested in this region generally:

GREAT YIELD OF GRASS Judge Cothren had
cut, from single acre of ground in this village
last week, sir tons of excellent clover and timo-
thv hay. 1t was taken from land that would be
termed by an Eastern farmer, dry, barren ridge.
which has been used for meadow for the last
four years and received no manure for six years,
except few loads last spring used in setting
young Orchard on part of the ground. Judge
Cothren informs that he took as large crop
from the ground last year at the first cutting,
and from two to three tons, as an after crop
With favorable season he will get at least three
tons more from the same ground this season,
which will make nine tons in one year from

farmers beat this, we presume the Judge will try
again.
