LIBERALITY OF PHYsTcIANs.-It has al
ways besn said that physicians would dis
parage any remedy, however valuable.
which they did not originate themselves.
This has been disproven by their liberal
course towards DR.. j. G. Ayers prepara-
rations. They have adopted them into
general use in their practice, which shows
a willingness to ceuntenance articles that
have intrinsic merits which deserve their
attention. This. does the learned profes
sion great credit, and effectually contra.
diets the prevalent erroneous notion that
their opposition to proprietary remedies is
based IN their interest to discard them
We have always had confidence in the
honorable motives of our medical men.and
are glad to find it sus stained by the liberal
welcome they accord 10 such remedies as
Ayers Cherry Pectoral and CotAart;c
PiHs, even though they are not ordered in

The Nexv year--ses yicEssisuaes.

The New year of 1853 is now inaugu-
rated and presides for better or worse ovei
the destinies of all. Could We foresee the
dangers and irruptions, the changes good
and had, the end Of the crisis and installa'
ton of better times, and a thousand othef
approaching fortunes and mlsfortune'' an
to transpire in 1858, we could MAKE Il
fortune out of the knowledge. On stock
in trade would sell equal to state stocks
and we might 90 into banking and issue
bills, payable sometime in eternity, ORGY n
beyond; and there would be fools enough
to take them, especially if the head OF
Washington or Barstow were engraved on
them. This is a curious world rs he year
1853 will show; indeed, we are Amos a
ble To draw aside the veil of the new year
and peep at forbidden things. We can
see glory and destruction, vice triumphant
and virtue rewarded, modesty admired and
crinoline demolished, plety exalted ana
p~,li,ics ramshacklcd. We can see men
already rich, sacrificing life aud morality
for more, fall in the struggle into the tomb
to rise no more; we car see Others poor,
but struggling for the same channel. We
see men sacrificing honor and principle for
power-others disguised with power sur
rendering it to interiors. Worse, we can
see the man sinking into the beast, God
image becoming a dog-a puppy! Bet
ter, we can see fallen man rise and be
crowned in glory and honor. We can see
men triumphing, others failing-all in
1888.

New County Judge-the old ole.

New County Jpdge-the old ole.
Mr.. William McGonigal, Judge Melton
igal-we suppose-though we rather DIES
pise the practice Of prefixing . jug-handle
10 the name of a respectable man, will bs
County Judge for four years from the ms
If .Januarv. The office is one involving
heavy responsibilities, because the County
Judge becomes the manager or trustee of
estates after their owners die, and when
there is zone to watch-none to prey ex.
cept the Judge. The time was in Grant
County when men were in the habit OF
deciding their property to Their wives and
chiIIren in order to eyade the Probate
Judge. Such evasions have not been the
custom during Judge Paine'e administra-
tim; and we firmly believe, from what we
know of McGonigal, and promise upon the
faith of a gentleman that no man need to
put off dying or deed his property to his
future widow and orphans in order to e.
wade the h~yenamositics Of Judge McGoni-
gal.
Judge Paine has attended to the duties
of County Judge with the utmost prompt
ness, and at the least possible expense to
estates. Attempted frauds upon estates
have been met by him with sternness and
/, rrible reb,.ke. In Judge Paine are com
bined the ability to form his " opinions
and the independence to speak and set
them in plain yes and 10 fashion. He is
no two-sided, caterer 10 public opinion, am
therefore the dead have not needed to feaI
that be would do them injustice to please
the living. Judge Paine ignitcs spotane-
ouly, roles and"romps when he feels like
it and censures without mercy what dis.
~I,ieases him; what he does he does all O
yer. Strangers to Judge Paine know not
whether to fear or admire him, so they
conclude there are worse men in the world
and not MANY better ones: those best ac-
quaint~d with him calculate on spending
all the time they car in his company in
order to live happy and die laughing.
AS to McGonigal, he is a reserved man,
grave as an owl, when on duty; but when
at leisure he relishes sport and company,
anusements and social things generally
He is a good judge of what is good; most
men have one bad habit, but he has none;
in tune alike and never without
hope, his conduct is moderate and faith in
the future excellent. We have the high
EST faith in McGonigal as a straight-for-
ward, upright man, and believe he will
discharge the duties of County Judge to.
he public satisfaction.

Zodiac.
For seven years we have published a
newspaper advocating bard money as the
only legal, constitutional and honest cur
rency. No other paper in the United
States. nor in all the world to the best oil
0 IT knowledge, had the boldness to stanl
up against Banks as the chief of s%windling
institutions, and Bankers as the chief Of
royues. We learned this doctrine and
swore eternal fidelity to it during our
faithful apprenticeship under Jackson and
VanBuren-whom we have never forsaken
in a single principle. AT no time since the
DAYS of Jackson an Van Buren,, has the
Democratic party or any Of its Presidents.
advocated a resort to hard money-tili
the very late message of Mr.. Buchanan
We hurrahed for old Buck for coming over
on our side SO far as the hard part of his
message, but to our surprise and disgust he
turned traitor to his professions in just
three weeks afterwards when he sanction
ed and signed a law of Congress for issu-
ing twenty millions of dollars in shinplas-
tors! About the same time of Bachanan's
message, PUMP CARPENTER came out like
la maddened hurricane for hard money
but what can he effect in Wisconsin, where
I%aIinost every leadingDemocrat in theState
is President or Cashier of a Bank, I! Just
at this time, the monetary crisis and other
circumstances. put the public mind out of
patience with Banks and old Buck thought
he would win a little applause by joining
in the elamor against Banks. But like all
lother modern Democratic professions, he
didn't mean a word of what he professed
and said against Banking. Like Demo
~cratic Popular Sovereignty, it meant the
lopposite-like red fanel fish bate for
catching mackerel, it was only intended
for that kind of fish easiest to deceive and
|humbug. We were not badly deceived
by Buchanan's hard money message, for
we never had any faith in his conduct
He turned traitor agains, the Federali SIS,
against Popular Sovereignty, and has be-
|trayed first the hard money party, then
the Bank party, then the hards, then the
rag party, till no man Of sense en- trust
him anywhere. The first year of his
Presidency has not yet expired, yet he has
betrayed the party on Popular Sovereign
ty, tho currency, the tariff, the negro in
.terest, &c. He has passed through all
the twelve considerations Of tho political
from the ram round to the bull
by another year he will wind through an
other revolution, while the whole ~constel-
lation must follow him or be real out Of
space a la Douglas and Walher.t
Just now old Buck is for covering all Gre
alton with niggers-next he will .ioin the
abolitionists and advocate the interests of
white men and free labor. He is a per
feet model after Napoleon who could de-
your the sacrament and imprison the
proclaim France a Republic and
himself j tyrant, advocate the peace of
Europe yet worked destruction to peace
everywhere by provoking endless %reyolu-
tions.

Farmers of wisconsin in a Tight Place.

Under this appropriate caption we see
it stated, that much excitement prevails
a!org the line Of the La Crosse and Mil
waukee Railroad, among the farmers, who
have mortgaged their farms for the build
ing of the above road, under the promise
and impression that the interest should be
promptly paid by the company. The rail
road company has failed 10 make provis-
ion, and the time is fast drawing near
when creditors can call for a foreclosure OF
the mortgages on the farms, which puts
the owners in a state of mind that is deci-
dedly interesting. We are told, that a
very large proportion ofall the farms along
that road, in some of the counties, are COW
cred with these mortgages. We see it
stated, that the number of farms mortga-
ged to railroads in Wisconsin is two or
three thousand.-iGalcna Daily Advertis-
er.
About one hundred and fifty farms in
Grant County are mortgag ed for some
thing like 100000 to the NJ. u NJ. Rail
road company-to fall due in about eigh'
years from this time. The trouble is no,
that people mortgag ed their farms, bu'
that they mortgaged them for such large
amounts-iu some cases for more than
they have been worth or will be worth at
the time mortgages fall due.

GIRLS GONG WEsT.-A large company
of unemployed working girls left the branch
office of the children's aid society, Wed
nesday afternoon, for homes in the west
under the charge Of Mr.. B. r. Barlow,
superintendent. Dressmakers, tailoresses
bookfolders, pen and pencil makers, &c,
composed the party. They were neat Of
appearance, without gaudiness, and exhib-
tied without exception cheerfulness, and a
happy anticipation in their lock and man
ner. The two companies that have pre-
coded them are now in good homes in the
west, secure from the perils of the city and
from the actual poverty and suffering
which depressed them. The incidents
which sometimes occur at the office as they
are leaving are sadly interesting, Several
of ihese poor girls, unable to pay even the
the porterage on their trunks, were assist
ed. One young oma on receiving mon
ely for this purpose could not repress tears.
A gentleman present, who was much af-
feeted by the whole scene, inquired the
occasion of it. She hesitated, anil turned
away; but upon being pressed to explain,
she replied: MY marriage ring is at the
pawnbroker's." 'For how much is ii
pledgeds" he inquired, when she said, still
in tears, 'for two shillings, a long time
since" The gentleman gave her fifty
cents, and she returned shortly after, show.
