MIRAGE-An unusual and beautiful phe-
nomena, says the Madison Journal, was
visible from the hill near Camp Randall on
the Sauk road on Thursday afternoon.
The frozen mist arising from the lake, min
gled with the vapor from low-lying clouds,
gave birth to mirage startling to the be-
holder. The Insane Asylum with all its
surroundings, the residence of Gov. Far
well, and all the homes thereabouts seemed
lifted into the atmosphere and brought for
ward SO as not to seem quarter of mile
from the observer. So perfect was the re-
Election that each particular stone of the
southern front-the doors, windows, bal
comics and ventilators-and every piece
thereof could be made out. The Asylum
grounds, with the woods and rocky shores,
the adjacent peninsula and island, seemed
to be a narrow isthmus, behind which
spread indefinitely beautiful lake while
the real lake in front was narrowed to a
quarter Of mile. The scene was particu-
larly striking and beautiful, and certainly
very unusual hereabouts. AS the air was
perfectly quiet, the phenomena lasted pro-
badly for half an hour, before fading from
the sight.

~ Considerable complaint has been
made about the depredations Of certain
boys in our village, who on various occa-
sions and particularly on Sunday. night
last, have been seen prowling about town
doing every imaginable mean thing, carry
ing cord wood into the street, taking wag-
ons, bugges, sleighs, &c. to other parts of
the village, carrying off dry-goods boxes,
and other actions too mean to mcntion.-
Such dcpredations must be stopped, the
citizens will not permit it to longer contin-
ue, and if parents are unable 10 control
their boys and keep them from committing
depredations during the night, the strong
arm of the law will take hold Of them, and
furnish them board and lodging at the ex-
pense of the county.

GRAPE AND CANIsTER.-The Soldiers
Record says grape and canister are never
used in connection, and grape are rarely,
If ever, used in field guns but canister
shot are used exclusively in "a Founders,
howitzers-the largest field guns used,-
and in all lighter guns. A "stand of
grape" as charge is called, as now made,
consists of nine balls, in three layers, held
in place by two circular iron plates, fasten-
ed together by an iron rod, screwed into
their centres, and two iron rings to hold
the balls together. A..canister is simply
a tin canister made to fit the guns, and
filled with - layers of balls, usually of II
each, making in all 144 balls, varying in
size from one to six ounces for field guns,
and larger for heavy guns. The canister
shot for the 10 FOUNDER Parrot and other
similar guns are made Of lead, and weigh
about an ounce, while those for IL and "a
Founders are of iron and weigh from 4 to
6 ounces each

Our New State Officers.

While at Madison, on the evening of the
1st inst, we witnessed the Inauguration
of the new state officers, heard Gov. Lew
is valedictory, and Gov. Fairchild's in
augural address. The address of Gov.
Lewis was a very able one, reviewing in a
mastery manner the events of the past
two years, and giving his experience as
executive of the state. His remarks in
regard to class legislation were very good;
for it is getting to be notorious fact that
class legislation-the passing, repealing,
amending and repassing of special acts for
the special benefit of some particular per-
son or corporation, is occupying far too
much of the time of our Legislature, and
often unnecessarily prolongs the session.
In recommending strict obedience to the
laws of the land he says: '".Let me exhort
you, my fellow citizens, to frown down
and discountenance everything like mob
spirit or disobedience to law. | know
some of you. particularly the farm mortga-
gors in our own state, think you have
great grievances but you should remem-
ber that when you strike against the law,
you strike against the whole people. In
destroying law and order, you destroy the
only means of securing your own rights.
Let me entreat you then, to lay aside re-
sentiments, and passions, take counsel of
your better judgement, and submit your
grievance to The proper tribunal.
Gov. Faircnild's address was short but
to the point, and was loudly cheered by an
intelligent audience.
After the close of the addresses the bal
ance Of the incoming State officers took the
oath Of Office, and q general friendly and
social time was indulged IN. The changes
in the State offices are these: Gov. Lewis
retires, and is succeeded by Gen. Fairchild,
late Secretary of State, TO which office Gen.
Thomas S. Allen succeeds. Lieut.. Gov.
Spooner is continued for another term in
the position which, he has filed with so
much dignity and propriety. Hon. S. D.
Hastings retires from the Office of State
Treasurer, which he has held continuously
for eight years past, and is succeeded by
Hon. Wm. i. Smith. Attorney General
Winfield Smith gives place to Col. G. r.
Gill, and Hon. VIM. Fl. Ramsey, Bank
Comptroller for four years past, is succeed
ed by Col. J. NJ. Rusk. Col. McMynn is
continued as Superintendent of Public In
struction, having proved himself a worthy
successor of Mr.. Pickard. Mr.. Henry Cor
der is continued for another term as State
Prison Commissioner.

The Chronicle.
DODGEVILLE,
THURSDAY MORNING, JAN. 4. 1866.
The OLD Year.

The smouldering embers of the year
1868 died out at II o'clock on Sunday
evening, at which time the new year 1866
was ushered in amid scene Of extraor-
dinary natural beauty. The winter air,
although frosty, was unusually bracing
and invigorating, and the full moon shed
abroad more than magical splendor.
The glorious night was followed by a
bright and mild winter day, which was
generally improved in:the good old fashion
ed manner visiting old friends, talking
over old times, and making speculations
and calculations for the future, were the
principle employment. What an eventfnl
year the past has been. One year ago,
although the tide of war had turned in our
favor, we were, nevertheless, engaged in
deadly conflict with comparatively strong
power; and although the law abiding and
order loving people of the north entertain
ed hopes ofa speedy peace, their hopes
were tempered with fears. Lee still bid
defiance to all our endeavors to capture the
rebel capital. Davis still advocated dying
in the last ditch. Fort Fisher, Wilmington,
Charleston, Mobile, and other important
places were strongly garrisoned and held
by the rebels Our ranks were fast being
thinncd by sickness, death, desertion, and
other unavoidable causes. The president
had lately called for 100000 additional
men, which the rebel sympathizers of the
north declared never could and never
should be furnished. And although we
have witnessed darker and more fearful
times, the year 1865 was ushered in amidst
the booming of hostile cannon, and the
deadly conflict of battle, and the fate Of
this nation was undecided.
The opening of the year was speedily
followed by the fall of Fort Fisher, Charles
ton, and other Important places, and in
less than four months, Gen. Lee had sur
rendered to Gen. Grant, Gen. johnson and
Kirby Smith had, to save annihilation, fol-
lowed his example, and failing in every
effort, the vile traitors called liz the aid
of the assassin and smote down our chief
magistrate But instead Of accomplishing
the desired result, it only made rebellion
n,ore odious, and utterly disgraced their
cause in the eyes of all civilized nations.
But we thank God that the government,
after passing through all these trials, has
come out victorious, and we are still a
respected ana honored power among the
nations of the earth. And the lately re-
bcllious states are knocking at the door of
congress, and urgently asking re-admission
to the union they SO lately despised and
strove to destroy.
Slavery, the admitted cause and scourge
Of this nation has died with its offspring
rebellion. The war has decided that the
majority shall rule, and the majority have
decided by a constitutional amendment,
that slavery is forever abolished in the
United States. At the opening of the year
1866, our prospects as nation are bright
er than at any previous time; we have a
clear course before US, and God grant that
we may steadily, faithfully and unswerv-
ingly pursue that course.
