Death of Ex-Governor Barstow.

It's announced tlat Ex-Gov. tBarstow,
Of Wisconsin, died at Leayenworth yes
terday His health has been failing for
some time past from consumption, and his
death was not unexpected to his friends.
We were well acquainted with William A.
Barstow as far back as when he was a. res
ident of Waukcsha He was man Of
strong mental characteristics, of indomta-
able energy, and Of answering fidelity to
his friends. His manners were affable,
and he had the faculty Of attaching to him
self friends, very strongly.
After the expiration Of his Gubernato-
rial term, Governor Barstow took up his
residence in GAINESVILLE. When the south
ern rebels commenced their attack upon
our government, Governor Barstow, with
the instincts Of his patriotic character,
called upon Gen. Fremont, then command
er Of the Western Department, and offered
to raise q cavalry regiment in Wisconsin.
After he had raised the regiment there was
some difficulty thrown in the way of its
acceptance at Washington, but these were
finally overcome by the indomitable ener-
gy Of Colonel Barstow. The regiment
served with credit in the Southwest, but
on account Of the failing health Of Colonel
Barstow, most of the time was under com
mand Of 1t. Col. Calkins now of the Mad
ison Daily CAPITOL During most of his
military term he was sitting courts martial
at st. Louis, in which he cvinced his usual
capacity, fidelity and energy, and it is not
incorrect to say that he had the happy fac
ulty of attaching to him warm friends even
when discharging the sometimes stern du-
ties Of judge. Colonel Barstow was
about fifty-four years Of age at the time of
his decease, and leaves wife and children.

BRIDGE BURNISG. = Some inhuman
scamps-thought to be the farm mortga-
gors, made desperate by the bad faith of
the railroad companies been burning
the railroad bridges on the Milwaukee and
La Crosse railroad Some three or four
have already been burnt, and more are
threatened by anonymous correspondents.
The farm mortgagors have heretofore re-
ceived the sympathy and hearty co-opera-
ton of a numerous and influential class in
our state, but by resorting to such inhu-
man acts they will receive, and justly de-
serve, the censure of all law abiding citi-
zens. We do not believe, however, that a
majority of the members Of the Home
League are in favor Of such severe meas
ures, and can only attribute such baseness
to few of the more desperate.

Corn as Fuel.

It will be remembered that we mention
ed the fact the other week that the mer-
chants and business men Of Warren and
some other places in Illinois, were using
corn in preference to wood or coal as fuel
It does not appear to act as well as antici-
pated. The Warren Independent,in speak
ing Of the matter, says: 1--WE have tested
corn as fuel and have arrived at the con.
clusion that all things considered, wood
and coal are preferable. The oleagnous
substance contained in corn causes it to
burn rapidly, emitting bright blaze. 1t
is easily ignited but speedily consumed,
retaining but little heat. The same guam
tity of coal will sustain comfortable fire
for greater length of time than corn
supplies more substantial fire and re-
quires less attention. Where wood is used
freely with corn, an excellent fire is OBJ
tanned, but such an expenditure adds
nothing to economy or convenience. Coal
at ten dollars per ton, or wood at six Or
seven dollars per cord, are the cheapest
articles Of fuel in this section. It seems a
sin to destroy the ripe yellow corn, and
we advise the farmers to return it to the
granary, for their is a better day ahead"
PAY YoUR TAxEs-John W. Thomas,
town Treasurer, gives notice that he is
now ready to receive the town and village
taxes for the year 1865. The Treasurer's
fees for collecting are one per cent. before
the first Of January, and three per cent.
after that date Those intending to pay
up before the first Of January, should not
wait until the last day, for they viii then
have trouble to pay them, for there is al
ways rush about that time The taxes
this year are very high, mostly caused by
the large amount raised to redeem out
standing bounty orders. 1t ranges from
forty three to fifty-seven and quarter
mills on the dollar valuation, according
to the school district, for the tax in some
school districts is nearly double what it is
in others.
