Excess In Reforms,

Let Us say word or two IN season
against limitless wsshing-a matter which
has become a serious nuisance among the
higher classes, and even begins to threaten
the lower. 1t has come to that pass, that
one gentlemen thinks another mclean who
does not step from his bed every morning
into tub of ice cold water. Cleanliness
is a virtue, of course; but when a man all
lows himself to be pulled up with the con-
seriousness Of using shower bath, or gives
himself airs upon the strength Of flesh.

merited tribute to faithful and competent

for the State, most admirable Chief
Magistrate, and at an important period in
our history. In the peaceful times of by
gone years, most any man of ordinary
abilities if possessed of common energy
could perform the duties appertaining to
the Office of Governor, acceptably. But
with the new duties and responsibilities
incident to state of war. thrown, in adj
dition to the old and common ones, on Tic
shoulders of the Governor, it makes The
position one of the gravest responsibility
and one of the most exacting and arduou,
of any in the whole range of civil life
Governor Cony, we are well assured, hai
been prompt in meeting all demands upor

painstaking, unwcaried, and faithful, il

vital point Of their calculations, namely,
the vast quantities Of the old crops which
were and still are in farmers hands. The
receipts of wheat from the n orth.
west at Milwaukee are now double those
OF this late last year. a portion OF the
arrivals in this market are unsaleable
except at a loss, and are going into store.

Of nine per cent. in the premium on gold,

similar circumstances in January. 1861.
