Soldiers Pic Mic.

The soldiers pic mic, which was announc
ed to be held at Miffiin, on Saturday. last,
was quite a success. The day was pleas
ant, compared with the general run Of wea-
lher this fall, and the attendance was quite
large. The 'odest inhabitant' cannot re
member to have seen as large an assem-
blage in that village before. Even the
crowd on election days, and fourths of
Jaly, fall into insignificance when compar
cd TO the attendance at the soldiers pic
MIC The majority Of those present were
soldiers, with their families and friends,
and it was sight worth seeing to witness
the joyful greetings and hearty hand shak-
ings of some who had not met since part
ing on the battle field or at the Southern
prison.
The old Iron Brigade Band furnished
lively and soul-inspiring patriotic music,
and choir Of the village, under the lead
of Mr.. Harris, a very energetic singer,
treated the assemblage to number of late
patriotic songs.
The soldiers who were residents of the
immediate neighborhood, appeared with
their muskets and accoutrements, and
forming in line, were formally presented
with flag which the ladies had prepared
for the occasion. After the flag presenta
ton, the procession marched to a grove
West of the village, where very good
dinner was prepared. After partaking of
dinner, Colonel Amasa Cobb being present,
was called upon to address the soldiers,
which he did in very straight forward
and candid manner. 1t was listened to
with marked attention, and at times loudly
applauded.
After the close of Colonel Cobb's speech,
which was Immediately followed by music
by the band and choir, the following reso-
lutions, which had previously beenspassed
by the post of the Grand Army of the Re-
public at Miff1in, were. read and unanimous
ly approved of.
Resored, That in the matter of the reconstruction
of the late rebellious heartily approve the
Congressional, and hoartydisapprove the Pres i
Dental policy
Resolred, That the "Equaliza Bl'' lately pass
ed by Congress- and persstently adhered to by the
Senate in opposition to the unanimously passed
by the direct representatives of the people in the
House, meets unqualified disapproval not doing
justice to the e'''6l aud '62 men,
F,s0lred That we approve of the pronosed Sold
Convention at Pittsburg. and send them hearty
God speed in the good cause for which they meet
Resoued, That we hereby tender to Col Amasa Cobb
the assurance of eutire confidence in his hu
ness to interests soldiers, we'll his du-
ties in general member of Congress.

The Fair.

Tuesday morning opened cloudy and the
weather looked unsettled, some prophecy
ing rain, but in few hours the clouds dis
persed, the sun came out, and the day
turned out fine, which was followed by
Wednesday which proved equally as fine,
making two as pleasant and comfortable
days as can be found in the year. The
entries on Tuesday morning were not large,
and the attendance in town..was but small;
by evening, quite a respectable number
of entries had been made, and strangers
crowded the streets. Wednesday morning
opening fine, the people commenced in
good earnest; and entries being received
till noon, they were crowded in as fast as
the officers could do the business. By
noon, the crowd ON the grounds was quite
large, as large, if not larger than we have
seen at any previous fair.
An examination Of the things on exhibi-
ton showed beyond a doubt that our coun-
ty is on the increase in agricultural, ,horti-
cultural, mechanical, and other produc-
tions. The display of fruit was larger
han we have seen at any previous fair, and
by good judges, was said to be quite as
good. The display of articles of home
manufacture was quite as large and good
rs at any former exhibition. The stock,
particularly blooded cattle, was unusually
large and good horses, though not as
large and complete as could be wished,
nevertheless, showed an improvement.
Next week we shall try and present our
readers with the result of the fair in the
form Of the premium list, but this week,
as our paper is published Immediately af-
ter the fair, we can give very few particu-
lars.
The trotting match resulted in the win
ming of the purse by James Owens of Min
eral Point with the cream colored horse,
the best time being one mile in three min
utes and seven seconds.

AN UGLY STRANGER. The Juneau Coun-
ty Argus says that Mr. Fuller, of Mauston,
shot cinnamon bear in the woods few
miles north Of there day or two since.
The bear was pursuing him when discov-
cred and killed. This specie of bear is
quite numerous in the Rocky Mountains,
and along the Pacific coast, but we have
never heard of one being killed east of the
Missouri river with this one ex ccption
He was about the color of red fox, and
was much taller and longer legged than
our common black bear, but not so heavy
bodied. He was only yearling.

sWW We did not attend the Democratic
Congressional Convention, held at Mineral
Point, on the 10th instant, but eyewitness
es inform us it was slim affair. Instead
of the delegation from every county being
full, and the proceedings being marked
with good humor and enthusiasm, as was
the Republican Union Convention, only
four of the seven counties in the District
were represented at all-not one Of them
being fully represented; and the attend
ance, including those drumed up in the
city, was not large enough to constitute a
respectable city caucus. The proceedings,
including Strong's resolutions, were tame,
and aoeak as aoater, which, judging from its
effects, was far different from the whiskey
INDUCED in at the close of the Con-
vention. Noah II. Virgin, of Platte
vile, was the choice of the Convention for
a candidate for Congress, or, in other
words, he was the only man willing to sac
rifce himself in order that the Party might
still keep,up a show oflife. Two thousand
majority in Grant County, the home Of
Mr.. Virgin, will tell him emphatically on
the 9th of November next, that they would
rather tolerate him at home than send him
to Congress.

s@ The meeting at the Court House
on Wednesday evening was we'll attended
Col. Cobb spoke at some length, reviewing
in candid and straightforward manner,
the action Of the various houses of Con-
gress, and the position taken by the var
ious parties and individual members on
the Soldiers Bounty Bills, and the bill
known as the Congressional Approximation
Bill, introduced into the late Congress-
He presented the issues which are at
present pending between the two great
political parties of the day, in clear and
candid manner, reviewing the various
amendments which are proposed to the
constitution, and showing clearly to every
honest and unprejudiced mind that the
South cannot safely be admitted to repre-
sentatien upon conditions less radical than
those asked by the great Union Republican
Party of the north, the party who pre-
vented the south from being successful in
their efforts to break up the Union, and in
fact, the only truly loyal and Union loving
party in the nation.
After the close of Col Cobb's speech,
Mr.. Bean of Madison made very lively
energetic, and pointed speech, which was
well received by the large and intelligent
audience present.
