Durham's Cotilion Party, on Friday
night (adjourned from Thursday night was
all that could be desired by the lovers of
the dance. Geo. Church & Go. made the
music; Durham, with the superintendent
of Doc. Irish, got up a splendid supper,
and about forty ladies and as manv gentle
men Of McGregor, participated in the
dancing. We noticed an interesting grass

Mr.. Wards lecture was delivered on
Wednesday night to small but apprecia-

was not in good working order, but more

to prove the latter point. ;. AT the camp

dead; preparations were made to lay him
out, but, after rcmaininginsensible for some
time, he exhibited signs of life, and restor-

to converse. He said he had been to Heav-
en-, had seen his father who had been dead
two years, and assured his friends that it
had been revealed to him that all of the
family would finally reach Heaven except
one brother. This brother was very much
affected by the recital, and for day or two
seemed to be deeply impressed by the ,rcve:

disappeared, and upon search being made
he was found hung by the-neck to tree

Mad Dogs. s....
It is rumorcd that mad dogs are in the
country. Some one tells us that one or
two have been killed at Gutenberg. Thro'-
out eastern and central Wisconsin there
have been many deaths of persons from
this horrid disease. Only few weeks
since little boy and girl from Madison,
were visiting at Milwaukee, were bitten by
dog, and in few days after their return
home went mad and died in excruciating az
ony. In the Usage Zopan we notice an &C
count Of a mad dog that passed through
there biting everything within his reach,
and alarming the whole country. At Nc
4regor there have been no rabid dogs yet,
and it is the intention of our "City Fathers"
to prevent any such terrible visitation. BY
the Ordinance, all dogs arc assessed 81 90 {;
a muzzle and collar with the owners name
inserted thereon and the dog is safe. In
the absence of the muzzle and the collar
Marshal Durham and Deputy Burbank will
kill any dog found in the street. The law
makes it their duty to do so, the safety of
society requires it and every citizen who
values his own species above the dog crea-
ton will lend his influence to an ,nergetic
carrying out Of the Lao. Let one Of the
pretty little girls or boys Of McGregor be-
come victim to hydrophobia and then the
public will awake to sense of the import
ance of this work. We saw fpe dogs at
one house on Sunday last, and were told
that "they all belonged there" The owner
of such kennel will go 'mad'' if they are
all shot, but shot they aoill be if the powder
holds out and he fails to pay the license and
put on the muzzle and collar as required by
law. Human life cannot be hazardcd to &C
commodate man who has no regard for
the regulations Of society.
P. Son Monday SO dogs only bit the
dust. Oh, Sassengers!

New Railroad Projects.


1t is rumored, and the report is we'll
founded, that the Grand Trunk Railway
Company have leased the Michigan Cen. r.
r. Co., their ground, road; and fixtures for
the term Of 900 years. 1t is further said
that the Grand Trunk Company will pur
chaeo the Galena Air Line, the chicago,
Iowa & Nebraska roads, and that the Cedar
Rapids and Missouri River Railroad will
also be under their control within few
months. There is reason to believe that the
Grand Trunk Company are ready and anx-
ious to take hand in the construction Of
the Pacific Road whenever Congress may
pass the bill providing for its completion.
That this Company is abundantly able to
make these Western extensions, there is no
doubt, and it is asserted that the whole
matter was thoroughly canvasscd by the
Board of Directors at late meeting in
London, and that it was concluded that
these extensions were essential in order to
render the stock good investment for all
time to come. They have now $40 600, 600
invested in their roads, and propose to m
vest as much more, control the trade of this
continent, and thereby render their stock
permanently productive. 1t is giant en-
terprise, but in this age of steamboats,, rail
roads, ice boats, and telegraphs, we are
prepared for the opening of a scheme which
will band the American continent with iron
rails Of commerce, enable the Atlantic sea-
board to express its freights overland to
the Pacific by steam, and when the pulsa-
tons of commercial life in the Eastern me-
tropolis will be flashed by lightning to the
arteries and veins of the commercial body,
the grain-felds, the warehouses, the fertile
productive regions Of tho West!

NcW Yorl,

The fight between Greeley on one side,
and Stewards bosom friends on the other,
has Kilkenny look at present. The 7'iJ-
!xne is cool and impudcnt, the Times, sharp
md satirical, the Courier and Enquirer,
rough and vindictive. A letter is published
pnporting to have been written by Greeley
to Seward in 1854, but as it is called a
hoax, by some, we do not publish it. The
letter is blunt cpistle in Grceley's style,
advising Gov. Seward that ''the political
firm of Seward, Weed and Greeley is dis
solved by the withdrawal Of the junior
partner" The smaller papers of the State
arc espousing one side or the other of the
quarrel, and the Lincoln men arc begging
the cons6utants to "ccasc wrangling with
each other, if they want to beat the (now
united) locofocos of the Empire State" The
report that Mr.. Fillmore will support Lin
coin is false; his late organ, the Buffalo
dpertiscr, has been condemned by the
herican party Of that city. The report
Mr.. Seward has said the State of N.
kill 60 10000 for Lincoln, has not the
DIV Of truth in it. Mr. Seward and his
GUS leading friends really desire the
