The sale of Public Lands
Great Inducements to
Settlers.

The sale of Public lands in Wisconsin,
to which we have before briefly alluded,
in April next, is what has long been desi-
rable to us. Much of the land that will
at that time be offered at public sale and
afterwards subject to private entry, is Of
the finest quality, and will, doubtless,
much it, be secured at once.
At that time over a million of acres
will be brought into market in this dis
trict alone, and be subject to entry at the
Hudson office; and to those who wish to
secure q farm at the minimum price of
$1,25 per acre. in this beautiful Valley,
we would say that then will be the APP
PORTED time. True, Uncle Sans do
mains are extensive, and there is room
enough for all, yet if you wait another
year or so, the choice so or 16O now
within your reach will be in the hands of
others, and you will have to put up with
that of a poorer quality.
To the agriculturist who is able and
willing to earn his bread "by the sweat of
bis brow" who has but little capital but
a fair share of energy, inducements are
offered this spring, which will enable him
to make for himself just such home as
he may wish for. The country is rich IN
itse f, far more SO than the sand covered
region of Pixies Peak-and all that is
necessary is labor to make it produce
rickes. And in this connection we would
say, to men who expect to make q living
in new country without work, that this
is not the place for you. And Of specula-
tors. we have had quite en- ough of them;
we have learned that the more we have
of that class the worse we are off. But
their race was run when the panic of 81
convulsed the country; and on this poil
we apprehend the West has little to fear
in future.
Here may be had prairie land, with
scarce bush or tree upon its surface, or
that covered with heavy growth of tim
Der, as suits the taste of the settler. MI
merous lakes, and ponds dot the surface
of the country, placed tere and there, us
it were, to add more enchanting beauty to
the surrounding scene. Streams of pure
spring water. are found pursuing their
meandering course through the wood and
prairie, to the ST. Croix on the West or
the Mississippi on the South. These
streams are alive with the speckled trout,
for the amusement, while the lakes and
ponds abound with fish Of larger species
for the subsistence of the settler.
Here will ever be found ready mark
ct for the products of the soil. The St
Louis and Southern markets, with W hich
we are directly connected. will ever be
open to us, and the certainty Of our crops
(which have never yet failed) will give
our farmers advantage over those at the
South, and must result in their wealth and
prosperity.-Hudson North Star.

The state Road.

Last week the Board of Supervisors
were called out on petition to lay a
town road from G. RandaIl's to the South
Fork, on or near the line surveyed by the
State Commissioners. They made no
legal decision, but left the matter unset
tied. 1t seems to us, that the damage
should be legally ascertained, and then
it is an easy matter to decide whether it
can be raised.
If it cannot be rails ed, either by vote of
the town, or by subscription. or both,
then "give it the go-bs," and let that en- /
the matter. But as it now rests, no clue
to the actual damage can possibly be as
eertained. If this is the way to decide
upon the merits of road petitions, such
decisions might as well be made without
putting the town to five or six dollars
expense.

Report OF tie state Snperinsen-
dent OF Public Instruction.

We are indebted to LYMAN G. ORA
PER ESQ.,, State Superintendent of public
instruction, for a copy of his annual re-
port.
lis fault, iffault it be, is one quite COM
mon with public documents,-its great
length, From eursory examinations
we should think the matter it contains is
oil interesting, but the idea of an EDITORS
reading it all would be preposterous.
We give some of the most .imHsrtant
facts contained in the report:
Whole number of children between the
ages of four and twenty, 264, o78; being
an increase over last year of 22,556.-
Only five states; New York, Pennsyl Iva
mia, Ohio, Indianna and Illinois report
more children of school age than does
Wisconsin. The number reported as at
tending school is l67, ITO; which after
making allowance for those who may have
attended higher schools, leaves about one
third of the whole number who do not
avail themselves of school privileges.
There are now in the State, 1907 dis
tricts, and the average time school has
been taught is five and three fifths
months.
The total number of school houses 1882
which are valued at $l.l27, 191, 3d.
being an increase over last years valua-
ton of 5293,713,20.
The average wages paid per month to
male teachers, is s27, 90; to female teach
ers, $500.
sThe number of District Libraries re-
ported, is 1875, containing 38,755 vol
dmes.
1t is matter of pride to the citizens
of Wisconsin. that she has been generous
in her policy towards school, and we doubt
not that time will show her course to have
been one of sound policy ohd practical
wisdom.

Deputy Sheriff.

Some peoplcin this place have expce-
ted that n Deputy Sheriff would be ap-
poioted here. We do not know that
there has been. or is, any excitement on
the subject; but inasmuch as we have
heretofore had q Deputy Sheriff here;
and remembering also that this town
gave more votes for the present Sheriff
than any other town in the County, it has
been supposed that he would appoint
Deputy here.
Some time since, petitions were pre-
sentcd to the Sheriff in favor of two per-
sons here, either of whom would, we pre-
sumo, if appointed, give general satisfac-
ton, but no appointment has been made.
Now we do not wish to be too for
ward in the matter, but we would suggest
10 Mr.. Ames, that unless he takes some
action in the matter, we shall probably
have no Deputy Eere.

'z,sae Danger OF philanthropy.

Philanthropy is sometimes dangerous.
Especially is this true when one object
assumes commanding importance, and the
philanthropist pursues his one idea with
a blind and reckless zeal, forgetting the
courtesies and charities of life, and grow
NO fierce and denunciatory in spirit and
action.
Hawthorne forcibly illustrates this dan
ger in the character of Hollingswortb,
and more recent and equally striking in
stance is afforded us in the person of the
editor of the Prescott Demo crot.
The danger in this latter case, arises
from excessive love for the tax payers.
" hen, in the first numbers ofthe Demo-
crat, we saw the strength and fcrvency of
that love, we feared for the result,-fear
ed that its power would impair that men
tai health, that equipoise of brain so nee
cssary to the right discharge of editorial
duties.
We have marked with pain the prog
ress Of the disease. We hope it may yet
be arrested, but the case is critical, as the
following extract from the Democrat of
last week will show.
GAS for the other young I'm, just pip
in through the soft shell that encases
him, he must lie careful that the frosts of
early spring don't bito his tender head.
He really comes around and f1ops his tail
feather, and talks about legislative enact
ments and decisions of the Supreme Court
as though 1t too was not Shanghai, and
that he knew something.
"Docs the old chick know that the little
fellow is out this chilly weather! If not,
a committee of the Shanghai legislature,
should be appointed to inform her iaastan-
ter of the lamentatle fact. Oh! what
would they do if he should get chilled,
catch little Id, and tip over? Oh!
there would be weeping and waiting
amongst the candidates for high saia-
ries.' and the poor African S. A'e you
boosted freedom shriekcrs dealt to the voice
of humanty-to your own interests? and
will you be quietly hum bugged aud BAN
boozled by thes miserable heartless tools
of unprincip!ed politicians"
We don't know what that means, bnt
we do know it is as grand as frog pond,
terrible as school-ma'am's scoding,
affecting as chilled chickens sob.

Presidents LeVee.

A corresponds tof the N. Y. Tribune,
describing the Presidents last levee, says;
"And So heterogeneous mass Of hui
man beings, such diverse representatives
of the great creators the people, of whom
the old man in the White House is the
marvellous creation, are rarely seen to-
gcther. The swell mob, the fireman, the
shouting b'hoy, the drunk militia man,
the common pckpocket the women of all
work, the women of no work, the paint
ed women, the brazen-faced were there,
well us the pertumed circle of fashion
and the rose of beauty"

IT is remarkable fact, that in the
teachings of Christ there is no elaborate
argument, no formal exposition of doc
trine, no display of brillancy, talent, or
learning; but instructive dialogue para
bic drawn from some pass:ng incident,
simple story, soul breathing narrative, pa
thetic remonstrance, or touching deinea-
ton of future veal or woe. Yet he ''spake
as never man spake,'' and his word went
with t. yower of competence, to the
hearts of those who listened to his simple,
yet solemn and impressive discourses.
