AN EXPLANATION Nearly all our Dem
ocratic exchanges come to US with theil
chickens growing over the result of loca
elections. 1t may be thought strange by
our brethren of the press that our rooste
did not crow over the result of spring elcc
tions in this county. The fact is, there i
so little Of abolitionism left in Holmes tha
our chicken was ashamed to crow over it.

THE HIGH PRICE OF Provisions -
There is but one cause for the high price Q
provisions, and that is the war. 1t has ia
ken two millions of producers from tn
fields of industry and made them wastetu
consumers. Those who find the necessaric
of life getting beyond their reach, and VIII
are almost starving, may thank the prose
cution of the war for it, and nothing else.

their union of hearts and hands, hoping
they may live to ripe old age in the enjoy
ment of the blessings of wedlock and tha
numerous progeny may rise up to cad
them blessed.
THE FRUIT 1t is now pretty well as
certained that the two weeks of severe fros
and cold weather about New Years, almos
entirely destroyed the peach buds, AM
many of the apples, cherries, plums an,
others, but we are assured that though tn
apples, pears and cherries suffered much b.
the frost, yet enough remains in some 10
calities to warrant us in saying that an aver
age crop will after all be raised. OF cours
in some orchards all the fruit is killed
but generally we can expect some fruit a
least.
A Poor OpINIoN.-"B Brick PoMERoN
of the La Crosse Democrat, has a poe
opinion, as everybody should have, of tn
Union Lcagucrs, etc "BRIcK' says
Lives there man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said
I'd rather be a coppcrhcad
Or dead Tom Cat on some woodshcd,
Than an abolitionist or Loyal Lacquer, to
big fool to keep his mouth shut-too az
to earn an honest living and too cowardl
