The Generous People Of this Village
have again added to the numerous fl.
yors we have heretofore received from
them, by their Donation visit on the
Evening Of the Goth Jany. Words are
but poor mediums through which to
express our appreciation of this kind
ness, get we would, as far as possible,
through them tender our heartfelt thanks
to all who by their Presence, and their
Gifts, aided in making that Evening
one that will long be remembered by
us.
We received in Money, Provisions
and really necessary artiles $780,
May 9 kind Providence abundantly
bless the donors in this, and in the
Life to come.

The DAM-On the outside will be
found the proceedings of the adj ourned
convention of lumbermen.. The Exec
utive Committee met in this town last
Saturday. Portage county was repre-
scented by Mr.. Whitehousc, and had
one thousand collars pledged by the
lumbermen of that county. Marathon
county was represented by Mr.. Hof:
man, who had one thousand dollars
pledged from lumbermen liz that re-
glon. Well done.

THE DoNATIoS.-The donation for
the benefit Of the Rev G. Il Smith was
on the whole q pleasant affair. The
Magnolia HILL was we'll filled, AMI 4
substantial repaSt enjoyed by all who
attended. The proceeds amounted to
ABOUT seventy dollars in cash and art:
cles for family consumption. Various
amusements were indul ged in, which
caused the night hours to pass away
with unusual fleetness. Ole species Of
amusement we didn't exactly fancy
Itseemed to us rather nasty. This sell
ling kisses for five or ten cents seems
rather cheap, although we haven't ob-
served the quotations In the Buffalo pa
pers Of late. Perhaps it makes differ
ence when the proceeds go for the fur
tharance of the christian religion.
For courtesy's sake let such practi-
ces be done away with in future. Let
Us not retrograae, but advance.

1859, the Town Treasurcrs are required
to pay to the County Treasurvrs the
ful! amount Of State Tar, on or before
the third Monday IL January in each

gives the form OF the tax warranty pro
Vides that the Town Treasures shall re-
t25r2a their tax rolls, &c. to the County
Treasurer on or before the last Monday
in January. But this provision is mod
fled by sec. G5, which as amended By
sec. 3 Of chap. q, laws OF 1859, is as
follows:
''oec. 65. The board Of supervisors
Of any town, and the common council
ofany city, shall have power, and are
hereby authorized, to extend the time

UNION ELECTORAL TIcKETs.-The ''compro-
mise" scheme of the Breckenridge men is by no
means new one. 1t was tried thoroughly in
1856, in this State, and was an utter failure.
The Fremont men proposed to the Fillmore
men, to put the name of John G. Fremont at
the head of the electoral ticket to be voted
for by the Fremont men, and that OF Mlisrd
Fillmore at the head of the same ticket to be
voted by the Fillmore men the vote for each
to be the basis for casting the votes of the
electors, pro rata, if chosen.
This was fair proposition, and received the
assent of large number of Fillmore men, in
cuded portion of the Fillmore State Com
mittee, and tickets were accordingly printed,
pursuant to this arrangement, and sent all
over the State.-But the bulk of the Fillmore
men would have none of it. They were carried
to the trough, but nothing could compel them
to drink. They persisted in voting for Fill
more, straight, and the perfect fairness of the
proposition had no effect upon them what
ever
The funny part of the affair is, however, that
the Democrats were shocked at such an arrange
ment. They made great ado over it and de-
nounced it in all possible ways. They thought
it very wicked, then but nOaO it is all right.
Circumstances alter cases.
When a party is united it needs no such
scheme as this to render it effective and when
it is broken into fragments, nothing of the
kind will serve 10 re-unite it, If it were ca
pabe of efftcti1g such a compromise, split
could not possibly take place and the motive
which leads one faction of party to separate
from another is always, of necessity, strong
enough to keep them fftct'Vely apart SO long
as the cause of division lasts.
