In the village of Dodgeville, the 9th
ult., Mrs. NARY A. WRrGaLKswoarH, aged 90
years, wife of ]. w. Wrigglesworth, one of
the publishers and proprietors of the Dodge
Vile Chronicle.
Mrs. Wrigglesworth was q native of Eng
land, but removed to this country when quite
young, and had been married about three
years at the time of her death. She was con
verified about six years since; and although
in her protracted sickness she suffered almost
beyond endurance physically, yet spiritually
at times she fairly triumphed, feeling that
death to her was but the door to endless
bliss.
Several hours before her death she fell into
a stupor like sleep. from which no effort of
anxious friends could arouse her, and she
passed away unmindful of the sorrow of heart
and anguish of spirit of dear friends beside
her, and has gone, we humbly trust and be-
lieve, to the land OF everlasting rest.
In her death devoted husband has lost an
nffectionate and loving wife, fond parents an
ever obedient and dutiful child, relations an
ever kind and enduring friend, and society
one of its highest ornaments. But bereaved
friends have this consolation, that while
tneir's IS an earthly loss, hers is . heavenly
and everlasting gain.
The funeral sermon is to be preached bv

THE HARvEsT.-The farmers of this
portion of the State are busily engaged in
their crops, which generally prove good
The fall wheat is mostly in the stack, and
we believe, without an exception. the yield
is good. Spring wheat is being secured
in very good condition, and the yield will
be very good. We think the quality of
the grain is much better than that of last
year, and the quantity much moro abund-
ant. The bug has done considerable dam
age in some localities, but its ravnges are
s..s4vi limited than was feared a few
weeks ago.
The oat crop wa, never better, but is
badly beaten down by the late rains,
which will render the harvest much more
difficult and expensive, Patatoes are
abundant and fine. Corn as yet promises
well, and with an ordinary favorable sea-
son, will be abundant

General Grant.

In the June number of Harper's
Magazine, there is an interesting arti-
Gle, entitled "Recollections Of Grant"
giving anecdotes illustrative of his
character and an estimate of his militia
~ genius. 1t seems that the motto of
the Scottish clan from which Grant de
riyes his surname, is Stand fast, stand
firm, stand sure" and certainly the
motto finds in our Lieutenant General
its most perfect historic illustration.
When he assumed personal supervision
Of the Army of the Potomac he was
asked by General Oglesby what he
thought Of its PERSONAL This is a
very fine army" he replied, "and these
men I am told have fought with great
courage. ! think, however, that the
army Of the Potomac has never fought
its battles through" The following
extract gives the writer's views of
Gran'tmilitary capacity
A correct estimate Of General Grant
may be had by forming in the imagina-
ton a character combining the peculi-
srIUes Of both Sherman and Thomas
Tor IN the person OF the Lieutenant
General the very opposite qualities
which distinguish the others, meet and
combine with singular grace and felici>
~, forming me OF the noblest charac-
IsIs which the war has developed. Gen
eIal Grant does not make so effective,
or, 80 TO speak, 50 dramatic a picture as
Sherman, nor does he present so digni-
fed an appearance as Thomas; vet he
combines ~ himself the originality and
energy Of the first with the delibera-
uou. GOODNESS, and p~eTtinacity Of the
latter lie has Sheridan's originality
ui mind, and like him has given ex-
preston 4 several new and striking
thoughts upon the subject of the rebel
hon aud ia suppression, but they have
invariably been clothed in the full,
rounded, and stately periods ofThomas
rather than the sharp, curt, and nery-
GUS Language of Sherman. He has
planned several campaigns with not
lees OF originality than that displayed
ay sherman, but they have always
been executed with the deliberation
and persistence which is so prominent
81 characteristic OF Thomas. Sherman
has given Us several splendid illustra
uons Of strategy and logistcs; as wit

and the Caroiilss but his battles will
never be quoted as brilliant examples
of grand tactics Thomas has display

Mil Spring and Nashville two splendid
