A Card. ... .--.. .--...-- 4....
To the Harelling Public We would
respectfully call your attention to the fact
that there is regular, reliable and as res
ponsible an opposition as the regularrail-
road line of Bisbcc, across the river at the
terminus of the NJ. & P. du c. r. r., for
the transfer of passengers, baggage, &C.,
across the river during the close of naviga-
ton. This company, also, has all neces-
sary facilities for the transfer of freight, to
which they give special attention. Pat
ronize boats and sleighs painted blue and
marked Austin & Co.'s opposition, unless
Bisbee &~Co.'s agent on the cars will give
you a ticket to ride free across tho river in
their line, which they threaten to do in
case Of any opposition, and which they say
they can afford as the railroad company
give them IS cents for each and every pas
senger they convey in addition to what
they can get from the passengers them
selves. The established fare of the oppo-
sition will be only % cents with ordinary
baggage. Therefore let every one that is
going to pay his fare, ride with and help
support the opposition. Don't be hum
plugged into the idea that the railroad COM
pany are responsible for your life or prop
crty while crossing the river, for they are
not, or they would ticket you themselves
between McGregor and Prairie du Chicn,
the same as between other stations. Now
as we have a horror Of fishing up and pay
ing for drowned people, we have provided
ourselves with good boats and careful
hands sufficient to prevent such catastro-
phics. .529w4 w. G. AUSTIN & Co.

The MEssAcE.-This will be found in
full on our outside. It is firm, but concil-
iatory and quite unexpectedly to many, it
is entirely free from acrimony toward
Congress. We are glad of this, because
we wanted to see the course of the Execu-
tive promotive of harmony, and therefore
in decided contrast with the movements of
n reckless, dis-organizing, dis-union, con-
acknowledging Congress.
We published part of the Message last
week, but some old-fashioned readers may
wish to see it all, and contrary to oar
wishes we load our paper with the whole
oft We always held that closely con-
densed synopsis Of any public document is
better, particularly for q weekly paper,
than "the full text as it IL now fashiona-
BILE to call Message in fnll-''text" may
he correct, but We call such things more
like sermons.

you. Read it and judge Of it for your

FiRE.-On Thursday night last, Capt. T..
Allen Olmstcd, Of Monona, lost his store
and stock Of goods by FIRE: it is believed
to have been an incendiary move. The
store house was new one, worth 5000 !;
insured for 81 300. Goods valued at $4,000 !;
insured for $4,000. Many Of the goods
were saved, SO that the Capt. will lose
probably not over $1,000. His Ins. is in
the Iowa Mutual and in the Winncsheik,
Of Fseeport. We regret that our friend
hos been 80 unEortunats, but it is crafty

BALLs.-On Thursday evening next the
Hall Of Cambria will be honorcd with IA
Charity Ball. got up at the suggestion Of
the liberal ladies and gentlemen of Nc
Gregor. In our city there are many FAM
lies on whom winter rests heavily. Wood,
clothing, bed-comforts and food, are all
wanted, and oft-times the wages of labor
in severe weather, is q frightful ghost to
the poor man whose little home is filed
with children calling for bread. Let every
liberal hand in town give to this most
praiseworthy relief fund. If you want no
dancing, 90 and hear the music--if your
cars are not musical, go and take supper
if you are not hungry, then buy ticket
to aid those who need. The money will be
distributed by F. F.. Elmendorf and Enos
Gay, and we all know it will find it's prop
er place. g
On New Years Eve, Dec. 3lst, Fritz
GAUs will give German Ball-the first of
the seasonal Cambrian Hall. Some of
the leading Germans of the city head the
ticket of invitation, and it is expected that
this party, in its Waltzes, Polkas, Schot-
tisches and other dances peculiar to the
education of our Saxon fellow.citizens, will
be the gayest yet witnessed at the Hall. \,

CANAL Lindsay Seals is canvassing
the country to obtain signers to petition
praying Congress to build o ship canal up
the Wisconsin. Mr.. S. was commissioned
on Tuesday night last at meeting of
which E. r. Barron was Pres. and A.
French, Secretary. AS everybody in this
whole region and most particularly in
Clayton Co. is heart and soul in favor of
this route, if any, and as our MI. Allison
is aware of the fact, we do not see the me-
cessity of canyassing for petitioners. The
plan may be correct-it can do no harm
unless the effort may imply that some Of
our people are opposed to the canal. Why
not copy list of the voters of the County
and be done with it?

TERMs.-It will be noticed that though
our facilities are second to none, our terms
are lower than those of any similar insti-
tuition. After the purchase of scholar
ship and blanks, there. are no further
charges, such as for incidentals, matricu-
.lation fee, graduation fee, diplomas, &C.,
which will be found in almost every other
Commercial School. We are enabled to
save the student from FIVE to twenty dol
lars on blanks alone. The entire expense
of the course, inclusive of board, need not
be more than from 800 to $l2O. 1t will
be always the object of the principal to
make the expense Of the course as light
rs possible. By reference to our terms it
will be noticed that great inducements are
offered to clubs and to returned and disa-
blcd soldiers. a,. ,l.
