NORWEGIAN emigrants arc beginning to
arrive here quite plentifully. There are
such large settlements Of this industrious
people west of us that the arrivals are
generally met here by friends from the
country. The quaint style of dress---all
wool, blue for women and girls--their odd
caps, their pondcrous, wooden, painted
trunks or chests, their close attention to
themselves and their baggage, without a
seeming care for the stares of curiosity
all combine to render their landing on our
lcvce matter of much interest. Almost
all of these are laborers, though many
soon prove to be the most successful and
intelligent business men Of the west. Lei
them come from their cold mountain fast
nesses and their narrow vallies and opcr
up the fertile prairies Of the west. This
is their country as well as ours-the terms
are obedience to our laws and in this dut,
they are model people. 81 lad

The New York Tribune says Of Cen
Scott that he was an old wing, accord
ing to his own showing, Mo,ghhe had a
holy hatred Of abolitionists, and with all
his sterling patriotism he had no sympathy
with the republican party. In the cleo
ton Of 1860 he sided with the Bell and
Everett faction.'' ~
How was it possible, HORACE, for Gen.
Scott to have sterling patriotism and
yet have no sympathy with the Republi-
can party?" We can see it plainly--have
known it for years-tell it on all conven-
lent occasions--we do not obtrude it, be-
cause experience teaches that men are
more readily and satisfactorily convinced OF
fact by leaving it to their discovery than
by arguing it into them half against their
will. As the country is becoming con-
vcrted to the idea that men may be patri.
otto without sympathy with the Repub,
lican party we prefer to leave them to
reflection. A few months more and the
fact viii be universally admitted. sri

GREATEST DISPLAY
OF
INTRE PIDIYY
EVER DISPLAYED
by MORTAL BEINGi

The Richmond Wing said
Herr Lengel's feats with the
wildanimals furnish a wonder
full evidence of what nerve,
cool courage and determine
ton can achieve. The animals
are splendid specimens Of the
genus feline, and having been
but recently captured and Gag
cd, retain the major portion Of
their innate ferocity. All the
animals Of this species, that
Z" lion kings" have handled,
were trained, and to a certain
extent rendered docile. But
these creatures know little OF
caressing, and appear to he OPP
posed to kindness or familiari-
ty. Herr Lelgel enters the
den with apparent uncOncerD,
and although they growl, spit
(cat like and strike ut him, he
makes them keep their dis
lance. He feeds them, and al
solutely takes a piece Of Aseat
from the clutches Of the lion.
IT'S when he is about to retire
that the danger becomes most
apparent. As he passes thro'
the barred gate they al spring
towards it, but failing to catch
him, they set up a series OF
howls and roars that are nj
most deafening. Great US tho
performance is, one cannot be-
hold it without q shudder, and
experiencing a dread lest it
might terminate fatally.
The animals will be exhib.
tied in a circle in a commOdi-
Gus cage, SO arranged that tho
spectators can, with perfect
safety, closely observe every
movement of these noble crea-
lures, which are admitted to
be the finest specimens ecer
captured.

The country is full Of it; the cities are

Scarcely day passes at McGresor that
some one, two or three loafers or thieves

on them. On Saturday week house

The business, men from our. neighbor-
ing town, Mononn, report trade in that
village more than ordinarily good and our
young friend, Frank Williams, an Iowa
soldier and, in our way of thinking, one
of the best fellows in the State, if we are
allowed to judge from the amount of goods
shipped to his establishment, must be fast
becoming one of, the best customers the
wholesale trade has, in the west.

FREE MAsoNs.-The Ill. Association
of Congregationalists met at Ottawa May
%. A resolution denouncing all secret
associations and particularly the old hard
shell of all, Free Masonry, was unani-
mously adopted. So says the Chicago
Journal.
Let the people keep yielding to the
agitating, uneasy, mind-eyery-body s-bus-
mess, pretended reformers and it will not
be long beforea re-enactment of the old
riolet laws Of Nutinegdom will become
necessary. In Maine, we believe it is,
tobacco chewing is notallowed to the minis
tiers Of the Cong. Church. The steps to
the general church management of all the
duties Of life, social, domestic and polit-
ical, is not great one and we already
see signs of its approach. Bow down to
fanatic Intermediates pay them soundly
for taking charge of your judgments +;
apply for a patent pharisaical conscience
and you will be like clay in the hands of
the potter in very few years. Ecclesi-
astical tyranny, in all ages of the world
has been the meanest and most inhuman
oppression known to history. We like
ministers and priests when they keep
their own side of the cabin but we neither
love nor fear that lot Of hypocrites who
steal the livery of Heaven to rob in
noccnce Of its rights under the plea Of
piety. ,,la

War In Lansing.

War In Lansing.
Under this head we have special letter
from Armstrong. The whole of AS de-
scription is good and very readable but we
are compelled to condense. 1t seems. after
the issuing of the, mdndamus by Judge
Burt that an appeal was taken to the SUI
preme Court, the Lansinsers put in bail
and then a supcrsedeas issued--in other
words, an order to stop all proceedings
The Board of Supervisors of Alamakec Co.
assembled and proceeded to recount the
votes. as per mandamus. L. o. Hatch is
said to have had the supcrsct1cas in his
pocket at the time the Board decided to
settle on Waukon as the County seat. 1t
is farther stated that Armstrong, who had
just returned from legal visit to Dubuque
and Judge Burt, presented the Board with
the proper documents "to stop hcr'' but
the Board numbered right along as though
the mandomus was tho only order of the
Court worth obeying. This is the way we
understand the case-if it is not correct the
reason may be found in our blissful igno-
rance of law terms, law proceedings and
because of reports coming to us from one
side entirely. Now for the finale: AT 8
A. NJ. juno 9th, 40 men with eleven wag-
ons came from Waukon ria Milton-not
the regular road-to the Court House near
Lansing and proceeded to gobble the rec
ords. AS fast as wagon was filed with
the books, papers and documents of rec
ord, it moved off at rapid gait. The
Lansingers were just getting up-the
alarm was given, but by the time any con-
siderable force reached the Court House,
the loaded teams had put out towards
Waukon; fourth wagon was loaded and
about to push off when the Lansing boys
took possession and cmptied the wagon
Pursuit was ordered and the whole party
of raiders was captured at Milton-it is
said that TOWNSEND had the seals and
made good his escape to Waukon. "The
prisoners were paroled." 'Gen. Townsend
commanded the invaders the defence was
maintained by Gen'ls Shaw, White, Bates
and others. Nobody killed, a few wound
ed and several tall swearing. The eagle
of victory perched on the Lansing STAN
dard, a triae of Lager was INDUCED in on
the return of the veterans, and somewhere
towards morning Lansing was herself
again u ... s..<- .,,a
