A MAN residing some six miles this

bis wheat stubble thinking he could control the
progress Of the flames The wind was blow
ing quite hard At :he time, which caused the
FIRE to spread to his haystaek.. and from them
to his stables and barns, which, together with
seven hundred bushels of corn, were destroyed.
The loss will be entire, as he cannot recover
any insurance. We reckon it will be some
time before he will repeat . like experiment

Milo WHITE's LAST HoP.-Next
Tuesday evening Milo White gives the last
hop Of the season at the Howard House in Le-
Claire. II we may Judge of what this ball is
TO be by what the last one was, We should say
that all those who attend, will enjoy them
selves very much. This will be the last ball
given in our sister city this season.
WE are now experiencing a term of
real March weather-cold. harsh winds, and
bleak, freezing air. This cold weather will
deter farmers from putting in their crops quite
as soon az they had anticipated, but it is much
better that we should have all our cold wealth
er early in the Spring. than to have it come
on US late in the season, after vegetation has
taken start. The cold can do no great dam
age now, little later and it might ruin the
crops
WE would suggest to Justice Claussen
that the next time he is placed in charge Of a
prisoner who has been arrested for committing
o crime only one degree less than murder, that
he drop the discussion Of politice, and attend
to his business We think Mr.. Clau.sen is
very eensurable for thus allowing McGrady to
slip through his fingers after so much trouble
had been taken to capture him. That MeGrs !.
dy was the man who set fire to Judge Grants
barn, there is not the least doubt.

The Illinois delegation to Chicago commit
ted the duty of responding to the nominations
of Lincoln, on their behalf 10 the Oonv ention,
to that gallant Republican, O. III. Browning,
OF Quincy, who made the following admira-
BILE address on the occasion:
Mr.. President and Gentlemen of the Con.
vsntion: On behalf Of the Illinois delses-
ton ! have been requested to make some
proper response to the speeches that We have
heard from our friends OF the other States.
Illinois ought hardly on this occasion TO be
expected to make q speech, or called upon 60
do.so. We are SO much elated at present
that We are scarcely In q condition to collect
our own thoughts, or express them intelli.

ton, that in the contest through which We
have just passed, We have been aotuated by
no feeling of hostility to the illustrious states
man from New York, who was in competition
with our own loved and gallant son. We
we're actuated solely by desire for the Ger
tain advancement Of Republicanism. The
Republicans OF Illinois, believing the prin.
ciples OF the Republican party are the same
principles which embalmed the hearts and
nerved the arms of our patriot sires OF the
evolution that they are the same pripci-
Piles which were vindicated upon every bat.
tle-6eld Of American freedom, were aciuste
solely by tho conviction that the triumph Of
these principles vas necessary not only to the
salvation OF our party, but to the perpetua-
ton OF the free institutions whose blessings
We now enjoy, and We have struggled against
the nomination OF the iilustrious statesman
OF New York solely because it was believed
here that we could 90 into battle on the prai.
ries OF Illinois with more hope and more
prospect OF success under the leadership OF
our own noble son. No Republican who has
love OF freedom In his heart, and who has
marked the course OF Gov. Seward of New
York, In the councils Of our nation, who has
witnessed the many occasions upon which be
has risen to tho very height of moral subim-
ity in his conflicts with the enemies OF free
institutions, no heart that has the love of
freedom in it and has witnessed these great

rate his name on this occasion. desire to

the purity OF his past life, the integrity OK
his character, and devotion to the prino;ulss
Of our party, and the gallantry with which
he will be conducted throughout the contest,
than we are by the msgnanimity Of our

u The irrepressible conflict divides life
long friends as we'll as splits political
parties and religious denominations. A
painful instance OF this 10 furnished by
Toombs and Stevens of Georgia, who have
been bosom friends from boyhood. They
were both ardent Wings and devoted advo.
Gates OF the Slavery propaganda. They both
left the Wing party when they could 10 long
er use it for the special benefit of the Slave
holders, and they both became leaders of the
Democratic party, Stephens in the House of
Representatives, and Toombs in the Senate.
But at last the "agitasion" has sundersd
these faithful friends, and they are in oppo-
site and hostile hosts, intepsifying BY their
zeal and their talent the growing bitterness OF
the 'irrepressible conflict which has broken
out in the Democr attic party.

CONGREGATIONAL CONVENTION.

Caleb Gushing is likely to discover that
the Douglas Democracy do not appreciate
him at much higher rate than the rest OF
mankind. In his course, ~ the representative
OF Massachusetts and the President OF the
Charleston Convention, the philosophic Caleb
seems to have incurred their severe repreheu-
sion. The following extracts from an arti-
ole OF the Boston Herald 10 q specimen of
the tone OF the Douglas press generally down
East:
"He has not even the common sentiment
OF gratitude shown by a dog 10 bis master
Tor bone toward the men and party that
raised him from political obssurity, from the
darkness of the tomb which contained his
political remains.''
And again:
