THE NORTHWEST. Tho Northwest will
make large gain of Congressman under
the new apportionment, while the East,
and probably the South also, will hardly
retain their present number. 1t is very
generally conceded that the new appor-
tionment will give about one hundred and
twenty-five thousand to district. If this
is so, then Ohio will Use member, as her
population now being two and a half mil
lions, she will have but twenty members
instead of twenty-onc as at present. In
diana will gain one Illinois two; Michi-
gan two; Wisconsin three; Iowa three,
and possibly four; Missouri two; while
Minnesota, like Ohio, will lose one. These
eight states now have fifty-uine members
but under the new pportionment they will
have senento two, being gain of thirteen.
The Northwest will hereaftea be a power
in the councils of the nation as it has new
err been before. 1t will claim due pro-
poation of legislation, and will have the
numbers to enable it to support Its claims
and make them effective Sentinel.

Cattle Dying By Scores on the
Western Plains.

From the Denver City News, Get GOTH
From the plains we hear of a terrible
destruction of cattle, belonging to the
freight trains enroute for this city. Their
death is sudden, and the best cattle in the
herds are usually the first victims The
disease of which they die has been vari-
ously pronounced murrain, distemper, and
alkali. From what we learn, the latter is
doubtless the cause. The season is now
very dry, the Platte river low, and the
water, in consequence, along its course
through the alkali plains, more than usu-
ally impregnated with the poison; but is
doubtless more attributable to the dust
than anything else. The roads are ex-
ceedingly dusty, and a moving train is
constantly enyeloped in its clouds. Cattle
inhale it at every breath, and eat it with
every mouthtul Of grass they take. The
grass is said to be thickly covered with it
fol- three miles from the road. By this
means, enough alkali is at length intro
duced into the system to produce death,
and the finest. largest and latest oxen are
the first to fall victims, while the scrub
will stand it for an indefinite length of time
Some trains have been obliged to purchase
cattle to fill up their teams, and many
have been seriously delayed by their los
ses. One day recently gentleman who
came up from St. Vrain-forty-two miles
beloH-counted near the road over fifty
carcasses of oxen that had died within a
few hours, Some train-masters have tried
lard as an antidote to the disease, with
good success. 1t should be given freely,
and as soon as possible after the animal is
found to be sick. A good rain would
doubtless put stop to the present bovine
mortality; but as long as the weather
continues so dry. it will doubtless increase.

The Homestead Bill.

The United States Senate, Tuesday,
voted to disagree to the Homestead bill
sent back from the House, all the Demo
Gratis. answering in the affirmative. Mr..
Douglas was not present. This proba-
bly, kills that measure for this session Of
Congress, and will give renewed vigor to
the Republicans, especially at the West,
in the Presidential campaign. The House
bill is an eminently just one, and had il
become law, would have secured free
homes to all who desired them upon the
public lands, and put an end to the land
speculations which have been curse to
the West. 1t is not to be forgotten that thu
countay owes it to Democratic Senators

NEThe fisheries of the Eastern Sbor

wThe fisheries Of the Eastern Shore
Virginia have been remarkably success
full this season, such quantities having
been taken that it has been found impos-
sible to preserve them; THE consequence
is tina! large quantities have been carted
upon the adjacent farms as manure. At
one haul last week, two thousand bushels
of trout wero pulled up. The seine
stopped in six feet water, and it being
to land such an immense
quantity, the seine had to be opened that
q portion might escape. One-half were
accordingly let out, and one thousand
bushels pulled ashore. This occurred in
Northampton.

The Crops.

Intelligence in regard to the crops from
al directions Of the Union, except in some
portions olthe extreme West, are gener-
ally of cheering character. In Ohio as
far as we can learn, everv thing looks fa-
vorable, and the prospect is now good for
large crops. Throughout the Northwest
the late rains have been Of incalculable
advantage to the growing crops, and
should the weather continue as
favorable as it now is, no fears need be
entertained that the harvest which is to
follow will far exceed in abundance its
predecessors for many years. From Iowa
the news is most cheering. The rye har-
vest there is rapidly ripening in some
! parts Of the State. In Indiana no unfa-
vorable reports have yet reached us in
our exchanges. In Michigan everything
is looking remarkably well. In most Of
Southern States the grains are ripening
beautifully, and give promise Of an abun-
dant harvest, buuin Kentucky short crops
are predicted. The Ayis doing great
damage there and wheat appears TO be Of
weak and sickly growth. A Louisville
paper says that the crop OF wheat in
Kentucky will fall far short of that Of last
year. In Virginia also there are nume-
rous complaints Of the ravages Of insects
in some Of the most fertile districts. The
prospects for fruits in the regions named
above are generally considered good.

Gy>The Paris, (Kentucky) GHsen' a
Southern Opposition paper, pays the
following tribute to Mr.. Lincoln the
Republican candidate for the Presidency
Northern Democrats entertain the same
sentiments, but have not honesty enough
to confess them. The Citizen says:
Mr.. Lincoln, though a decided Re-
publican and complete exponent Of the
purposes and spirit Of the party. is not
the object Of those popular prejudices that
attach to Mr.. Seward, his strongest COM
petitor for the nomination. He is man
Of ability, not equal to Mr.. Seward in
culture or in his experience Of public
affairs. but is considered by many as his
equal in natural force Of intellect. We
heard one Of the discussions between him
and Douglas in the famous campaign Of
1858, and we certainly regarded him as
a full match at least, for that distinguished
politician. There are some things in the
personal character and career of Mr..
Lincoln which will give him great popu-
larity, if they do not excite enthusiasm
among the people. Born of humble
parentage, and passing the years Of his
childhood, youth and early manhood amid
the hardships Of the backwoods of Ken
lucky, Indiana and Illinois, acquiring an
education by his own labors as best he
could, and gradually working his way to
distinction, bis life has been one well
calculated to excite the admiration and
sympathy Of voters, most Of whom are
themselves working men. When to this
is added the purity Of his private life, the
general recognition Of which has given
him, in his own State, the soubrquet OF
Honest Old Abe," we are compelled to
admit that the Chicago Convention has
nominated the very hardest man to beat
that it could possibly have given us.
Mr.. Lincoln's s antecedents were Wing.
He was warm friend and admrer OF
Mr.. Clay, and was, for many years, the
acknowledged leader Of the whig party in
Tllinois II X
The question now is, show is this
ticket to be beaten?" We confess that in
the divided, distracted and chaotic condi-
lion Of all other parties, the problem is
extremely difficult of solution.

ANOTHER CASE OF FEVER AND
AGUE CURED.


A few days ago we recorded an aston.
ishing cure Of Fever and Ague by the
use Of DR.. M'Lane's Liver Pills, prepared
by Fleming Bros, Pittsburgh, Pa. We
have now another to mention, viz. that of
Mr.. James Sharp, of Madisonburgh, who
states that be had laborsd under very
severe attack of Ague and Fever, and
was soon restored by the use of these
Pills Mr.. Sharp also expressed an opinion
founded on observation, that the Liver
Pills. are the best for bilious complaints
ever offered in this section Of country.
Although long known as sovereign
remedy for chronic cases of Hepatic
arrangement, or diseases of the Liver,
the proprietors, Fleming Bros. Of DR..
M'Lanes Pills, were not prepared for the
frequent, but gratifying evidences of its
general utility and curative capacity. In
this respect, this invaluable medicine has
exceeded their most sanguine expecta-
tons, and induced them to hope that it
will be introduced into every family in the
United States.
Purchasers will be careful to ask for

tskes pleasure in announcing to the citizens Of
Wyandot county and vicinity, that be has
purchased the interest of his old partner,

and large open front constructed, which make
things appear altogether different, and would
say that he is far more able now than ever, to
accommodate his patrons and all that may
see fit to give him a call; and. would say es-
pecially to the ladies. that those disagreeable
steps are all removed, and how but a half a
step from the pavement you will find yourself
safely housed among the nice things in
the eating line you could desire. Do not pass
without giving us call. We are selling very

RATIFICATION MEETING,


Wyandots in Council !.-.The Fires OF
1910 are Burning!
On the evening Of the 3oth ult., large
and enthusiastic crowd mbled at the
Court House to ratify the nominations ol
the Chicago Convention. and from the
demonstrations on the occasion we were
better satisfied than ever that the hearts
Of the people are with honest old Abe,
and that tho gallant old rail splitter will
distance any man who may be tro:ted out
against him. At the mere mention of his
name the crowd would make the welkin
ring with their shouts and huzzas; and if
the proceedings on that occasion are to be
received as only fore taste of what we
are to have during the campaign, our
friends may look out for good account
from little Wyandot.
The Court House was crowded to over
flowing at an early hour, when the meet
ing was organized by calling Col. M. H.
Kirby to the chair, who made very 40,
propriate little speech upon taking his
seat. ..
G. SEARS, Esq, was next called for
and responded in neat and humorous
little speech Of about thirty minutes. The
speech of our young friend was certainly
creditable effort and seemed to please
the crowd most prodigiously. His re.
marks, however, were only intended as in
troductory to the great speech of the oc.
casion, which was delivered by the Hon.
Mr.. Harm, of Wooster, Ohio. He spoke
about one hour and half and his speech
abounded with the most convincing, un-
answerable arguments, from beginning to
end, during the delivery Of which he was
frequently Interrupted by bursts of ap~
plause from the excited mass of people
in attendance. Mr.. H. is a gentleman Of
fine talents, and is an able and efficient
political speaker.
The meeting was kept up unit! late
hour, and the crowd dispersed feeling
first rate, after having resolved to organ
ize themselves into Wide Awake Club.
A Committee consisting of 7. E. Grisell,
G. Sears and W. T. Wilson, was appoint
ed to draft Constitution and regulations
for the government Of the Club, who are
to,report at an adjourned meeting to be
held on next Saturday evening.

Terrible Tornado.-Great Loss of Life.
Immense Damage to Property.

Immense Damage to Property.
A terrible tornado passed over Iowa,
Illinois, Indiana. Kentucky and other
States, on the night Of the Sd inst. We
have not the parti culars at the time Of
going to press, but from the telegraphic
dispatches we learn that as far as could
be ascertained at least a hundred lives
were lost, and hundreds were more or
less injured, some Of them very seriously.
The towns Of Camancha, Iowa, and AL
bany. ILL.,, on opposite sides of the river,
were entirely demolished and some forty
dead bodies had been taken from the ru.
ins at last accounts with about fifty
wounded.
From the other towns on the route Of
the. tornado, that can be reached by tele.
graph, we learn that the destruction Of
life and property was equally great.
From the Mississippi to Rock river
scarcely house or barn on the direct
track, which was about half mile wide,
is left standing.
The telegraph wires along the track of
the storm being all down, we are CONS
PEELED to 60 to press without the particu-
lars, but we can safely say that it was
the most terrible storm with which this
country has ever been visited. We will
endeavor to give particulars next week.
