The 'mad stones There are two) men.
tioned, were taken from the NAV Of a
deer ID Kentucky, a number of years ago
and brought to Wisconsin by their present
owner, Mr.. Washington Ellis, who lives
about 8 miles north east of Potosi.
We have seen these stones, and under
stand their mode of application to wounds.
They are small-oue probably the size OF
a common fibert nut, the other somewhat
smaller, and of a brownish color, with un-
even surfaces. On applying them to a
wound they are first soaked iii warm wa
ter. and if the bite is poisonous, they adj
here to the flesh until the pores OF the
stones are flied, when they are again put
into the water, the poison oozing from them
and plainly seen.
A person bitten should apply for their
use Immediately, before the poison becomes
spread through their system. Within q
few years these stones have been applied
to a number of persons, wounded by rabld
animals, but we never heard that they fail
ed to perform all that has been professed
they would. Mr.. Ellis, their owner. is a
poor man, and has frequently offered them
for sale at a very low price, considering
their value.
There are a great many persons who dis
believe the virtue Of the stones as describ
ed, but we think they will only require 10
see their performance, or the afidavits OF
those who have been benefited by their
use to be satisfied they are all they are
represented to be. That there is some
thing mysterious about them we do not
deny, MOI can we at all account for their
poison extracting qualities. But for the
benefit Of all who may become so afflicted
so as to require their use, we advise them
to not delay lefore giving them a trial, and
many lives may thereby be
saved Dunlieth Adv.

obligations to each other, and higher abli-
cations than those they owed to men.
Reverses came, as they always will
come, following fast upon the heels of ex-
cess. There is a lesson to be learned from
these experiences from which men may
grow wiser aud better. The great evil
y hich lies back Of all these exhibitions of
successes and reverses, is in the tendencies
of the age. The great mass of our people
are learning to despise labor, forgetting
that every dollar acquired by any other
means than as a reward for honest indus
try, or we'll directed skill and enterprise
in some honorable a~yocation or employ
ment, is so much loss to some less lucky
maa. Too many are endeavoring to live
without labor, and to get money without
earning it. The people must learn to guard
against these ~evils.a they learn to account
for them, after they have come. Not
withstanding all that has been suffered, the
country is substantially rich i'll real wealth.
Wisconsin is rich in the abundance of her
agricultural aud mineral products; rich in
her facilit es for the transaction of bust
ness; in public improvements; in public
and private charities; in educational insti-
buttons; in the intelligence and practical
independence of hei citizens; in her relig
lous institutions; in an able and enlight-
ed pnblic press; in that large liberty, ac-
knowledged by the law, and protected by
the wisdom and prudence and indepen-
dence of her court of justice, and in ideas
of equality which recognize the rights of
every man as sacred, without regard to
class, condition, creed or biith place.
Her commercial. interests are as vast in
extent, as her resources are exllaustless.-
a great carrying highway is on her West,
and another on her East, AMI iron roads,
binding together her rich growing cities,are
traversing all her length and breadth
The farms of the people are like gardens,
and her cities are set, like bright jewels,iu
the crown of her prosperity. Wise legis-
%iation, not for party purposes, but to redress
grievances, protect rights, and TO prevent
evils; an honest and frugal administration
Of the government, and a due regard for
tie rights of all men, will enh tnce the en-
inyment Of all those blessings. | com

Court of the U. S. in any civil case be-

the reach of the people. Their decisions,
to a certain extent, are as arbitrary aud
absolute as a determination of the Car OF

fortunes among our citizens, and hundreds

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

5 MESSAGE.
Most o fonr paper of this week is filled
with Gov. Randali's Message, but we off,r
no apology as it is the most important doc
ument to business men and all classes ever
published in the state. 1t is no halfway
message, with words of doubtful meaning,
locking this way and that; it goes from
fact to fact, figure to figure ana revelation
10 revelation, like the hands of a Clock
1t walks right into business, without IN
voking the gods, and emil, by asking aid
from the overriding Proyi lence of AIInigh-
" God. The Governor begins like aVol-
taire and win Is up like a saint: thus may
he close in all things. Most of our mo-
ern messages Of Pr si!ents and Governors
Iopen Ike Baxtcr's Saiuts Rest, but end in
Ia hnrricane while their administrations
seem but a copy after Benedict Arnold;
such is true of all men who don't mean
half they say nor say half what they mean
Not SO with the Il Ike of Jackson and Ran
dali; when they say that Banks and shin
@lasters are evils, they mean it-when
they say The Constitution means what it
says, they don't ask the U. S. Supreme
Court to tell them how to understand it.
They swear to support it as they under
stand it, not as they are told to under
stand it. Thank God and a slight ma.
Ijority Of the people, we have a Governor
| who believes in and swears by the EteI'
nal!
Gov. Randall asks fofa change in the
assessment laws in order that the rich shall
be taxed as we'll as the poor. He repre-
sents the Banks AS unholy, many of them
as without character or means to pay and
he recommends a change in the law so
that they shall be chained up and chas-
tisel like assassins. Read The message,
every word.
