Union Caucus at Boseobel.

A Union caucus was held at Bosco-
bel, Wis, Oct. 6, 1866, to elect dele~
gates to attend the Assembly District
Convention, to be held at Boscobcl,
Oct. 11th, 1866
Tbe following named gentlemen
were unanimously elected said dele
gates John r. Mufliey John Stack.
DIR. Armstrong, and w. T.. Jacobs.
After passing a resolution instruct
ing the delegates to cast the vote of
the Township for Col Mark Finni~
cum tor the Legislature, the follow
ing preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted
WHEREAS, the highest interests of
TIE Republican organization demand
unity and harmony in all its practi>
cal workings;
And, ,ohereaS, the course Of G X.
Dean, Of Boscobel, has been, and is
now, such as to disturb the harmony
ofsaid organization, and to iniure and
impair It's efficiency in BoscobeI;
And, ,0hereaS, in the Spring Of 1868
the said Dean took part in the Re
publican caucus called to nominate
Republican candidates for Town Off
ces, being himself candidate before
said caucus for the Office Of Town As
SCISSOR, il which said caucus Moors
Rice was declared the unanimous
nominee for the sad Office Of Assessor;
and, wheredS, the said Dean did bolt
and repudiate the action Of said eau.
Gus by placing himself before the PEG
pie as an Independent candidate for
said Office Of Assessor in opposition
to said Rice, and in opposition
to the best interests of the Re
publican party, and to the en-
enlargement Of the copperhead enc
mics ofthe Governmentwho accepted
him as their candidate for said Office
and contributed chiefly to his election
and rejoiced with him over the defeat
, of the regular Republican nominee
for said office;
And wheredS, in the Spring cf 1866,
he again, not participating in the
regular caucus OF the Republican par
ty, accepted the nomination for As
sessor from Convention largely I
composed Of copperheads, and in +
which Convention he took an active
part, and was elected, receiving the
emtirc vote OF the copperhcad party;
Ind ehere1S, in September, 1866,
at a Union Caucus called to nominate
delegates TO attend the County Union
Convention to be held at Lancaster,
he undertook, fraudulcntly, to defeat
the will of the members Of said Union
party in said caucus assembled by in
ducing members Of the copperhead
party to attend and take part therein
Ard, ,rhcreaS, he is constantly IA
boring TO create discussions among
the Republicans OF Boscohei by i'm
pugning the motives of the loyal and I
true men of said organization
And. chcreaS, his associations and
friendships have been for Il long time
and are now among the coppcrheads
of Boscobcl-the acknowledged enc
mics of the Go COMMUNICATING
them aid and con lort by all his po-
liticaI acts and influence, while falsely
pretending to Republicans to be in
full communion with the Republican
organization therefore.
ReSolred, That the political ascot
Ations of said Dean with the Repub-
lican organization are at an end.
Adjourned sine die.

A New SCIENTIFIC ToY.--There is a
successor to- Pharaoh's serpenis, called
the " magic photograph" lis selling in
Paris and London, in two envelopes; one
containing pieces of white albumenized
paper, the other slips of white blotting
paper of corresponding size. One of
the former is moistened with water, and a
piece of paper from the other envelope,
likewise wetted, is laid thereon, when a
beautiful photograph is Immediately de-
veloped, on its albumenized surface. Pho
tographs have of course been printed in
the usual manner on the albumenized
slips, and then decolored with bromic or
iodic acid, or some such agent; the other
pieces of paper have been soaked in hy-
posulphite of soda, and the application Of
this reducing agent to the hidden photo
graph brings it again to view. The SER
pents' emit a poisonous fume while burn
ing, and the danger attending their use
has driven them out Of the market but
the "magic photograph is safe as well as
pleasant. ~ 81

The FAMILY, CIReLE.--If there be
any bond in life which ought to be sacred
ly guarded from everything that can put
it in peril, it is that which unites the MEM
bers of a family. If there be spot upon
earth from which discord and strife should
be banished, it is the fireside. There CEN
ter the fondest hopes and the must tender
affections. How lovely the spectacle pre-
sented by that family which is governed
by the right spirit Each strives to avoid
giving offense, and is studously considerate
of the others happiness. Sweet loving
dispositions are cultivated by all. and each
tries to surpass the other in his efforts for
the common harmony. Each heart glows
with love and the benedction of heaven
ly peace seems to abide upon that dwelling
with such power that no black fiend of
passion dare rear his head within it.
Who would not realize this lovely pic
ture? 1t may be realized by all who will
employ the appointed means. Let the
precepts of the Gospel be applied as they
are designed to he; and they will be
found to shed a holy charm upon the fam
lily circle, and make it what God designed
it should be, the most heaven-like scene
on earth. 4 38ff

and leaving the Doctor and Mr.. Knapp to
their fate, we rapidly retraced our steps
across the river and returned to the town.
A supply Of oil, tools, etc., were procured,
and we returned to the cave, determined
to rescue our comrades or perish in the
attempt The river was crossed, and we
proceeded to the grand chamber where
we had taken our lunch, accompanied by
numerous citizens of Leavenworth. But
search as closely as we would, we could
not find the gallery in which the Doctor
and Mr.. Knapp were entombed. In vain
we explored and shouted until worn out
and fainting. All to no purpose. Near
ly three days have passed since we first
entered the cave, and during all that
time it has been full of people uselessly
hunting for the two unfortunate men,.
One after another of the various galleries
leading from the grand chamber have been
explored and blazed with chalk marks,
but still the missing men cannot be found.
The guide of the Mammoth Cave in Ken
tucky has been sent for to assist in the
search.
2. S. Mr.. Knapp has been brought in.
A hunter found him lying at the mouth of
what has generally been considered as a
sort of sink hole, about five miles from
town. Mr.. Knapp's condition is too pre-
carious to admit of a detailed account of
his escape, but from what ! can gather
from his incoherent explanations, it seems
that, finding he could not return, he went
ahead, in hope of finding an outlet. Af-
ter what seemed an age of wandering and
cropping in the dark, and after having sew
eral times despairingly laid down 10 die,
he was at last successful in emerging from
his living tomb. He tainted on coming TO
the open air, and was in this condition
found by the hunter. A party has JUS
gone to enter the cavern by the way il
which Mr.. Knapp came out. DIR. Hawl
has not yet been found.

A "MAKE-uP" BLUNDEa.

MAKEUP" BLUNDEa. 81
A laughable mistake is shown in the
mixing of two articles-one concerning a
preacher, the other about the freaks of a
mad dog-which occurred in hurried
makeup" in printing-ofIice
Rev. James Thompson, rector of St.
Andrews church, preached to large con-
course Of people on Sunday last. This
was his last sermon. In few weeks he
will bid farewell to his congregation, as
his physician advises him to cross the
Atlantic. He exhorted his brethren and
sisters, and after the conclusion of short
prayer, took whim to cut up some fran
tic freaks. He ran up Timothy street to
the college. AT this stage Of the proceed
ings couple of boys seized him and tied
tin kettle to his tail, and be again start
ed. A great crowd collected, and for a
time there was grand scene Of running
and confusion. After long race he was
finally shot by policeman"
lWhether the foregoing be fact or fam
cy We cannot say, but here is freak OF
the ''make-up" which actually occurred in
one of the public cities of rebeldom not
many years ago.

were accustomed to preach, each in his
