The blow was very hard at Marion sta
ton, but blew down no Lonses. But the

PoL1TIcAL PREACHIsG.-The Hartfort
Conn Times gives report Of a scene
which came eff in Methodist church in
the town of Portland on Sunday, the day
the late election. 4 divinity
student from Wesleyan University, Middle,
town, went over there to preach. The
Times goes on to say that the town is
strongly democratic, giving 400 majority
for SEYMOUR, and states that the student
gave utterance in his sermon to rank abo-
iition sentiments. We give the following
in the language Of the Times:
Mr.. Kellogg Strong Of that town, an
old Jefferson an democrat, stood it As long
as he could, and then rose in his place III
the church and spoke in a loud voice to
the preacher: =" Young man, y0a camo
here to preach the gospel. 1 came here
to hear it. And us.less you cease this
preaching of politics | shall 90 up into
that pulpit and take YOU out of it." The
preacher stopped in his discourse. One
of the congregation said to Mr.. Strong
" Brother Strong, he is a young man.
Perhaps you are little to hard on him
g 1t is because he IS young" replied Mr..
Strong, :" that desire to teach him bet.
ter" The preaching was then resumed
but no more politics was preached dur
ing that sermon !"

PARDoNED BY THE PREsIDENT.-A par
don for ADRIAN FEUcHrwASGER, who was
convicted in Milwaukee year since for
forging Land Warrants in connection with
A. j. CLRKE, reached that city few days
since, and was Immediately dispatched to
Waupun. The pardon was granted by
the President, and was to take effect at
the expiration of one year of FEUcHrwAN
GERS sentence. The Saturday Gazette
says that there is no difference among
those who know anything about the case
but that "FEUcHrwASGER was more the
simple and unsophisticated dupe of a willy
knave, than criminal, and the Presidential
clemency was well directed in his pardon
1t also adds that the pardon was obtained
through the fundamentally of Hon. NJ
SrEEvEg, the Postmaster of Milwaukee
which act reflects credit upon his head aud
heart.

The Judicial Election in this
State

From the Madison Patriot of the Dist,
we learn that the official returns have been
received at the office OF the Secretary OF
State, from all the counties in the State
except La Pointe; and that after rejecting
all the votes returned with wrong initials,
the vote will stand for
Dixon, 5s,O6S
SLOAN, $3.50
Majority for Dixon, 9S
The County Of La Pointe will increase
this majority to about 200
Should all the votes be canvassed which
were clearly intended for the Two candi-
dates, Dixon and SLOAN, respectively , the
majority for Dixon would be about 1000.
At all events it is now certain, that unless
the returns from entire counties are reject
ed by the State Canvassers for mere infor-
malities, Dixon will be canvassed in hap
Ply result.
We give below the official majorities.

for Chief Justice, and gives the leaders OF
the party dig in the ribs " because they
didn't nominate Judge Smith, in this style:
/" We have already made ourselves
pretty well understood, as regards the
reason for the defeat of one Of tue candi-

call him the Republican candidate, as he
never received the cordial support OF those

reluctantly compelled to vote for him. 1t

Great Fire in Kenosha.

Another terrible condagration occurred
at Kenosha on Sunday morning, consum-
ing some of the best buildings in the city,
and destroying property to the amount Of
s135, 900 or more. We get the following
particulars from the Tslegroph's extra:

which this city has yet been visited. occur

discovered about 3 o'clock A. NJ in a barn
10 the rear of he store OF J. Ct. Gottfresdon
on the east side of Main street The flames
spread with such Iapidity, as to reach Sew
eral buildings, before the engines were got

The devouring element seemed eager to
destroy everything combustible in the
vicinity within the shortest possible space
of time. A strong north easterly wind

place visited with such destructive fire !;
many more such would be impossible, for

fire first originated, it spread rapidly in
different directions, especially north, south

Large and Small Farms.
l7oOsick Falls, N. Y.

The following anecdate Of Bakewell
has been told before, but never in better
form, than in a lecture by Mr.. Johr
Beasley, just published al Lordon
The late Mr.. BakewelI, of Dishley
was not only an eminent agrieuIturist and
breeder of stock, but very wise and
shrswd man, and his neighbofs were in
the habit Of resorting to him for counsel
and advise. On one occasion an old
friend went to pay him visit, for the
purpose Of explaining to him his position.
and at the same time begging that he
would recommend him what to do. He
had lived all his life upon his own farm
Of 1000 acres; he lived very we'll, but he
had never saved a shilling. He had
three daughters, and the eldest was about
to be married he highly approved Of the
match, but the intended husband expected
some portion, and he had nothing to give
him. Should he mortgage his estate, or
what should he do i? Mr.. Bakewell
begged Of him to spend the night with
him, and promised. the next morning TO
give him the result Of his cogitagiOus.
Accordingly, the next morning, when
they met at breakfast, Bakewell said. 81
have made up my mind what you ought
TO do; give your son-in-law otie-fourth Of
the farm, keep the remaining three
fourth with it. Do It better than you
have hitherto done, and your income will
be rather increased than diminished. "
His friend followed his advice but at
the end Of two OF three years, another

daughter would be married, and the per-
picked father again resorted To- his friend
BakeweA for advice. under the new diff
Guilty. Bakewell coolly said, he had
watched his proceedings, ard seen their
results; he must do in this case as he had
done before; he must give up another
fourth of bis farra, and keep the original
capital and stock. The father seemed
somewhat puzzled. but as the first expert
ment had succeeded, he determined 70
try It in this case also. Last of-all the
youngest daughter was 20 be married, and
IN utter despair, the poor father paid
another visit to Dishley 70 explain bis
lpeTplsxity. Swell, (" said BakeWell, 9teli
me honestly whether your income has
diminished BY having reduced your farm
BY one-half z" The father acknowledged
he thought it had not. "Then," said
Bakewell, 'you must give up another
fourther Of yo1f farm, and keep your
house and the remaining 250 acres for
yourself, and, to tell you the truth, you
win then have just such farm as your
stock, your capital, and your head are fit
for, and will'be better and happier man
than ever" Old BakewelI used to tell
this story with great glee, and declared
his friend left as much stock and capitol
upon the $50 acres as he had ever had
upon the one thousand, and, as he be-
lieved, made a better income out Of il.
This may be a somewhat exaggerated
statement, but Of this am sure: a small,
well-cultivated farm, will make better
return than large ill-culiivated one.
