His father went to Milwaukee lately to see
him, aud though they had not seen each

basket Of strawberries to the prison for him
but he was not allowed to receive them.-
The Free Democrat men have been send

him that if hewill come down on his knees,

pasNaUMs Eon WAKING HORSES.

An exchange says it has been suggested
that agricultural societies should offer pre-
miums for the fastest walking team of hor-
SEES; and says that to farmers having en-
ployment for horses it is vastly more inn
portant that they should be fast walkers
than fast trotteys.
This is a suggestion worthy Of adoption.
A "fast horse" such as secures the favor Of
"sportslnen," is a curse to farm. a
horse that will walk four miles sn hour,
and trot seven or eight, is worth far more
than one that will trot mile in three min
utes.
Adopting the above as correct in every
particular, we offer to join those who think
with us in making up purse to be offered
as premium for the fastest walking span
of horses, geldngs or mares, the walk to
come of at the next Grant County Fair,
and such walk to be judged by the usual
rules of trying the speed Of horses, under
the direction of Fair officers. The friends
of fast walking stock are invited to call and
subscribe to our premium list.

DEMAND FOR LADOR--WAGES-H HOPE AND
CHARITY REVIVED-NEW BORN FAITH.

The dark vale which so long covered the
county, rendering obscure or dark the very
hopes Of half the people and permitting the
other half to see but dimly, has been re-
moved; all can now see a clear track ahead
and avoid most Of the obstacles in the way
ftheir fortune and happiness. Once more
n rise Of reasonable confidence appears n
man towards his brother man--once more
child of faith is begotton in the family of
human brotherhood to take the place of
that deceased one; discord can no longer
reign. Though charity sinned, this broth
or died not but is cured. Hope departed
not but presided singly and alone in all orr
Affections; so that the blessed trinity, Faith
Hope and Charity, preside over every fam
lily in the land, more especially THIS land of
the mine and the corn. God be praised in
every household for sending fortune close
in the track Of misfortune! God be sdor-
ed for 50 shaping our destinies that prosper-
ity comes to US in q way we al fail to UNI
derstand! God be ever thanked and loved
for sending upon US sore afljctlsns!

this region below average or almost
failures, while in other parts Of this State
the crops averaged well. The failures were
accidental, speaking after the manner Of
men, for our lands are superior to any 9th
ers in the State; rain failed to come at
proper times or came in damaging abun-
dance; local frosts, local storms and local
mishaps Of every kind in the catalogue OF
misfortune, visited the farmers of Grant,
Iowa and Lafayette counties, for three sue
eessiye years. Faith went down, Hope lin
gered and lived, and Charity faltered as
consequences of sllch local mishaps.
The prospects Of abundant crops in
Southern Wisconsin, considered in connec-
ton with the partial failures Of crops in the
regions of winter-wheat everywhere, the to-

people of south ossssern Wisconsin, may
well feel like swine in a eorn-field!
