Suicide at TIazsI Green.

Hazel GREEN, Aug. 1851
William Farmhouse was found this
morning hanging BY the neck in well
nearthe house oflDavid Briant 10 this
village, where hetllad been living for some
time past. he had first cut his Throat
with lis razor nearly sesering the wind
pipe, bat failed to cut he juglu vein, and
finding he would not bleed 10 death he tied
Il small rope around his neck, fastened Il to
the beam Of the windlas and threw him
self into the well; the rope was about five
feet long; his feet did not reach the water;
be was not cold when found, about hall
past i've o'clock, but quite dead.
Mr.. farmhouse was a native Of Virginia,
about 90 years old; he came to this place,
which was then called Hardscrabble, IN
1928; twenty-five years ago he owned
some Of the best mineral lands in this
neighborhood, which would have made
him wealthy if he bad kept them, but ow-
ing &c Incorporate habits he let them 90 a
little at time until they were all gone and
he became very poor Owing to some
nervous affection lie partially lost the use
Of his limbs, about ten years AGO, when
be very reluctantly accepted aid from the
town; since that time he has continued to
receive more or less assistance, and for tile
last i've or six years has been entirely sup
ported by the town, not beng able to work
any; he bus often been heard to say be
wished be was dead, that he was only d
misery to himself and friends; there is no
doubt Of his having had the thing n con
temptation q long time. 1T Is thought he
hung himself with the same rope hebought
last winter for the same purpose, but was
thwaItcd then by The Town Board moving
him to new boarding place; hepretended
he wanted the rope to fix bis bedstead; it
is supposed he put it into his trunk; he
was tracked by the blood from the ward
into the house and into his trunk, from
there to the well; he then pulled off bis
shoes and cap and layed down his cane
the rope was very carefully tied around the
beam, being put around twice, with run
ming moose around his neck 1t shows
there was wonderful determination, when
all this was done after the flightfuI cash
was cut in his neck; indeed the head
seemed TO Be nearly lIalf cut off,
Poor Old Billy might have lived on; no
taxpayer ever begradged the money be
paid for his support; he was honest as the
day is long; | think he died without an
enemy

Citizens and farmers Of Grant, you can
afford to reserve one or two days from your
laJors 10 attend the Cc.:atty Fair 70 u held
at Lancaster on
Dedoesday and Thursday
Of next week. Almost every day Of the
long summer vas a fair day FOR work, and
Tins far scarcely a day Of bad weather has
lhuG,asd you from work during the early
fall. Coed crops have followed as well,
and not 4 sheaf has been damaged by rain
Providence has therefore been very kind,
and you can afford TO meet at the County
Fair for a talk, for comparing notes, for
showing samples Of stock and other pro-
ducts that God has 50 kindly bestowed.
You h.spare a day at the Fair.
You fear the effects of the war, fear that
ruin may come through taxes, possibly
bankruptcy. Ifthese follow, you viii have
plenty Of good company, though our abest
men foresee nothing of the kind; on the
contrary, money will eplenty, more album
dant than ever known, and prices on most
articles in the farm line be average, if not
high. Your fears are without foundation,
50 there is nothing to keep you from the
County Fair
The Far is a public institution, inwhieh
all have an interest; the grounds are own
ed by the public; the officers receive no

tive, except indeed that al knowledge gain

On9 1hOusand Men II ON Gran t.
The Madison journal Of the Cd inst,
announced that the Seventh Regiment
lacked then but about 100 men of being
full. Since that date near or quite 100
men have left Grant to fill up the Seventh
Regiment. On Monday last being the
9th, officers were still out through Grant
recruiting for the same Seventh Regiment!
Grant must be prolific field for recruiting,
compared with the whole State
Counting the five full companies already
in service from Grant, with sbe two com
panies now forming, and the men, number
ing at least two hundred, that have en-
listed in adjoining counties and States, aud
the one bundled that have lately gone 10
fill up The SeoeaM Regiment, and the
forty-fye cavalrymen from Grant in Capt
Deutseh's Company at Milwaukee, and we
have at least 1000 mon enlisted from
Grant; this is lending The Union cause a
thirtieth part Of our entire population,
counting men, women and children, or
about fourth part Of our voting popula-
tion-supposing that all our volunteers are
voters. If all other parts Of the State
furnished like proportion with Grant,
there would be over 10000 men in the
army from Wisconsin alone, or a twenty
fifth part Of the entire Union defense.
We're Grant as well represented on the
official schedule Of The eight regiments az
ready differed as she is among the pr
yates, she would have somewA here about
four field officers AMI half-a-dozen inferior
officers Of Regiments; but His Excelency
appears unable to find any factions to con
ciiate in Grant-therefore no field officers
are appointed from Grant and but two in
feriors, one Quarter Master, ranking rs
Lieutenant, and one Squad MAORI
IN event Of continuation Of such tar
didess as exists in other parts Of the State,
the authorities will be compelled to resort
10 drafting for men to fill the regiments
and artillery companies ordered to Je raised
in the State. There being no legal power
to discriminate in favor Of counties that
have already raised their share Of men,
Grant will be called on TO draft her pro-
portion Of the men yet required, Just as
though she had furnished a less number.
In plain words, when the lottery scheme
comes to be arranged, the prizes already
arawn from Grant will not be put up aoai /.
which seems fair enough for the lottery
company but deyilisA hard on the county.
Such considerations argue that our county
should furnish no more men until other
counties do their duty. We instance Iowa
and Lafayette counties as having iu3a,shed
but one company zach, owing to the Sc
cession sympathes Of most Of their lead
ing men. Drafting should in justice Be
commenced Immediately in. those counties,
and if the lot falls on few Of their
judges, ex-ofilce holders and mon Of an-
Gent military titles, then all % much the
better Their influence in discoulagiug
men from enlisting should rebound AMI
