w time! The undersigned are running
daily line of Stages from the following named
points, to connect with the Lacrosse cars, to
wit: From Stevens Point to Portage CITY. by
way of Plover Buena Vista, Plainfeld Han

Also, from Neceedah to Kilbourn CITY by the
way OF Germantown, Quincy, Cascade, or White
Greek and Dell Prairie.
These lines of Stages, furnish to the inhabi-
tants of the Pine Region, the means of getting
from Stevens Point or Grand Rapids to Milwau-
kee IN little less than one and half DAYS. and
besides the fare is lower than anv other route
and any one who wishes to go to Milwaukee can
on one OF these lines be taken to Kilbourn CITY
Or Portage City, in one day, and the next morn
ing at half past five the cars will leave for Mil
Waukee, and arrive there at half past eleven ::
and any one wishing to come into the Pine Re-
glon can rely upon always being able to get a
Stage at Portage City or Kilbourn, in the morn
ing, going North and North West, to any of the
points above mentioned. We have good Coach
es on all of these routes al abundant supply of
good horses, and drivers that are sober and t,gs-

lions to drive through.
General Stage Offices are kept at the follow
ing named places: Portage City, at the Lee
House; kilbourn, at the kilbourn City House :;
Grand Rapids, at Bangs Hotel; Plover, at the

For the information of the travelling public
we will say, that at Stevens Point, an opportu-
nifty Is afforded, either by Stage or Steamboat,
| to go north to Trading Post, Knowlton Little
Bull Falls, " ausau, Eau Claire, Jenny Bull and
Marathon City. And from all by the same
means they come to Stevens Point and take this
stage line to any place they choose, north OF
Portage City; so it will seen that there is no
| necessity for patroaizing Foot & Walkers line,
unless the traveller prefers that mode Of loco
motion. MYERS d BONUM

ST CLOUD VISITOR ON DANCING.-
Mrs. Swisshelm is engaged in an inter
esting controversy with the Rev. Mr..
Inman, Of St. Cloud, on the subject of
dancing. Mrs SwiSshelm is Fsinto his
hair = metaphorically speaking of
course-the Immediate proy0cation be
ing the infiction upon that literary Ia
dy Of some rather sharp sacerdotal dis
cipIine for the looseness Of her views on
the dancing question. The Rev, Mr.
Inman gets decidedly the worst of the
tussle. She PoIkas him through two
or three columns Of dizzy theological
disputation, ending with this sensible
paragraphs:
Nj. Inman holds us to public cen
sure for recommending dancing, and
argues that we are leading souls to etor-
naI death. We reply, that he and 9th
ers, who labor with him, are RESPONSE
bic for olltlaWing a natural, innocent,
healthy and and heaven-approved
amusement, and for banishing it, in as
far Is their influence goes, to become
III instrument Of evil. That dancing
Is 50 often accompanied by sin, IS the
fault OF those who would convert the
pure wine ofIife into vinegar, who make
piety 4 hugh@ar by associating it with
ideas OF monllish pcnance and restraint
from an innocent joy which Christ him
self in no place diSapproyes, but, on
the contrary, sanctions, by making it
the symbol of divine rejoicing"

A RAILROAD IScIDENT.-Conductor
Nootlall Of the Little Miami Ohio
Railroad, noticed a young girl i'll his
rain going east, and came to collect
her fare. lie observed that she had
but 81, although she was going to New
York, but came west to work, and had
been taken sick. This story was told
so candidly that the conductor, who
had watched the narrator closely, could
not doubt its truth.
of that is the case, I cannot take
your money!" he said.
ssIndeed, sir, it is true.''
"lhen take your money back" was
his answer, and he passed along.
Through with his collection, he rela-
ted the circumstance to a couple of
gentlemen passengers, and proposed
to head subscription list ifthey would
90 through the train and take up col
lection for the girl. The gentlemen
readily agreed to this, and in few
minutes had the pleasure of handing
to the girl some seventeen dollars,
enough to pay her way to New York.
She knew nothing Of the movement I'M
til she received the money, when her
grateful feelings gave vent in copious
tears. No one doubted her honesty.
But WOodall was not satisfied. Be
fore she left the train, he gave her a
memorandum setting forth the route
she should take, and a card, which he
requested her to use instead of tickets.
On the card was written the following:
70 ny Brother ConductorS Il have
passed this worthy Young lady on my
trip to Columbus. A collection was ia
ken up for her, and seventeen dollars
placed in her hands by the passengers.
For Gods sake don't take Il cent of
it. WOODALL,
Conductor Little Miami r. r.
This, 10 doubt, enabled her to reach
home safely, and with money in her
purse.
Conductor WooDALL is a n7a7a--every
inch Of him.

NEW INVENTION

SINGLE SAVING MACHINE /!
PATENTED JAN. 5, 1853.

THE above Machine is now being introduced
i in the Lumber region; and as it is by far
the most important improvement that has been
presented for saving Shingles, the attention of
all persons interested in that branch of business
is particularly called to its advantages. The
inventor feels justified in saying, that
1t agW do smoother pork, and more Of It in a
gire7, time, than any other machine;
1t hqs been tested and found to require far less
poarer to dri1e it,
1t is easily adjusted and not liable TO get ont Of
order, and may be realty operated By Al" '''ezpes-
exaced hand;
1t ,gorks Nth great economy as regards timber,
making shingles ha,, is usual from the same
amount of bolts:
And, what is better, it can be afforded at a
cheaper price, al things considered, than any ma
chine IN use.
One of these machines is in operation at Rab
Inns Mill, in Grand Rapids. An inspection of
it and its work, by good judges will at once sat
isfy them that the inventor is justified in claim
ing for his machine superiority over all others
that make any pretensions to public favor.
Orders for machines, addressed to the under
signed at Portage City Columbia County, Wis,
will receive prompt attention.
