GRAIN AND FREIGHTs AT CnICAGo.-The
amount of grain in store here by the opening
Of the straits will be about five millions Of
bushels. There will be vessels here at that
time capable of carrying about seven hundred
and fifty thousand bushels. Last spring there
was about two millions Of bushels in store here
at the opening, and vessels that could carry a
million Of bushels. The first charters by sail
last spring were at eight cents for wheat at
Buialo-thc rate soon dropping to six cents.
This year some charters have been made at
eighteen cents and some at sixteen cents, while
shippers now do not know what to offer and
vessel-owEers what to take. But no doubt q
fleet of vessels will arrive from the other lakes
as soon as they can pass the straits, and this
will tend to keep lreights down.-Chicago Dem.

Shapes OF resplendent beauty round me throng;

OF soft and holy song.

ScrOfula, or Kings Evil,

pervades the whole body, and may burst on,

from It's attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variou,ly
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis.

and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and
above all, by the vcnereal infection. What.
ever be its, origin. it is hereditary in the con.
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, al

Its effects commence by deposition from tn.

Life Insurance.

Life Insurance.
Those desiring this safest and cheapest protecr
ton for their families, can secure it in our
Wisconsin Company. 1t has already become,
in reality, State institution, having Agents
and patrons among the best business men in all
the principal towns in the State. 1t is no lon
ger matter of doubt that Life Insurance can
be conducted as well in Wisconsin as in Connec.
ticut or any other Eastern States.
Thus while duty demands tina. men should
insure their lives, it also demands that they
should keep their money for investment ut
home. Confident that our success has been
more than equal to that OF the most "unprece-
dented,"we would cordially invite all our cit-

We are enabled here to offer the community a
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such remedy is Invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURE" eXpelS the miasmatc poison of FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de
veopment OF the disease; ii taken on the first APP
proach Of its premontory symptoms. 1t is not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
Of complaints but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach of every body; and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both fer and proicc-
ton. A great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of ln,erm,tents is that it contains Quinine
or mineral consequently it produces no qniiiism OF
other injurious ei,ects whatever upon the constitu
ton. Those cured Ly i: are left US healthy as il
they had never had TIE disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence OF
the miasmatic poison. A great variety of disor.

immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the maarious districts. If taken occa,

hat will be excreted from the system, and canno;
