HiGUwAYs = There has been more
trouble and hard feeling during the last
few years, in regard to highways in this
town, han about any other one thing.
About half the highways in this town are
INSTRUCTED or blockadcd in one manner or
another. Orders for the opening of high
wavs and the removal of distractions have
oeen issued by the Board Of Supervisors,
and not having been complied with, they
have, in number of instances, instructed
tie road oyerseer to remove said obstruc-
tions and encroachments In one case,
while the road overseer, John S. Davies,
was in the act of removing the fence Of
John Polla d from the road, the owner Of
the fence, with his brother, attacked him,
one with an axe and the other with a
pitchfork, and threatened to Kill him if he
persisted in moving the fence. Under
these circumstances, Mr.. Davies concluded
that discretion was the better part Of valor,
and so came to town and made complaint,
and had Mr.. John Pollard bound over to
keep the peace, and would doubtless have
bound the brother over, but be was miss
ing about that time, and could not be
found.

The Fenians.

The latest sensation rumor concerning
this restless, threatening, ard revolution
airy organization, is, that they are TO invade
Canada on st. Patrick's dav, the nth
inst. And the government of that prov
ince actually appears 10 be alarmed about
1t, and has called out ten thousand militia
to defend their frontier. The authorities
of Canada have DOUBTLESS seen the in
tiamatory speeches made by Fenians in
New York, Chicago, and other PLACES, and
become alarmed but we Americans, who
are used to the bluster and braradocia
which is so often INDUCED in, in a free
country where free speech is allowed don't
think there is much cause fer alarm. It
is doubtless wise TO be at all times prepared
for emergencies, but in the opinion Of
Americans generally, there is no more
danger Of an invasion Of Canada BY the
Fenians, on The nth, than there is OF an
invasion of the United States from Mexico.

WILLIE WIS, THU URSDAY, MARCH is, 1866.
The President and Congress.

We ope-though we see no signs
of it yet-that the President and Congress
will compromise their differences OF opin-
ion. and harmonic their feelings, so as to
satisfactorily settle the vexed questions OF
the statas of the southern shareholders,
refugees and negroes. For our own part
we think it is of little consequence to tue
country whether the Southern States are
he Id year or SO as territories, and form
their state constitutions and laws IN ac-
cordance with the dictates of the general
Government. and a strict adherence to JUS
lice and the rights of all men; or whether
their representatives are admitted at once,
after proving beyond doubt that they are
honest union men, and afterwards making
sucb amendments in their state constitu-
tions and laws, as-may be seen to be nee
ccssary. And it appears to US that II VIII
make very little difference to US in WIS
consin, whether the negroes and refugees
of the South are protected and provided
employment through the means OF
Freedmen's Bureau, or by the courts, laws
and corporations of their own states,
counties, and cities. We hardly take 1t Tor
granted that because the President has We
toed the Freedmen Bureau bill, heis op-
posed to having the freedmen properly cared
for and projected. Neither do we THINK
that Congress is so stubborn as to refuse
20 accocd to any other terms for the
ameloration, employment, elevation ana
education of the freedmen and refugees.
Again, we are of the opinion that the
President would be willing to postpone
the tin{e for the admission Of the sou heln
states, if he could be made to see that the
interests of the country required it. we
also believe that Congress would imm di-
ately admit the representatives from the
south, could it be satisfied that they were
honest in their professions of loyalty and
had the good of the uhole country at heart.
The breach between the President and
Congress after all, is not so large; they
are both, in our opinion, aiming at the
same end, 4. e. a fair, honorable, and last
ing reconstruction of the Union. And
although .ssome bitterness has ben IN
dulged in by certain Congressman, and re-
senteti in still more bitter and revengcful
spirit by the President, we see no cause OF
imminent danger; the desired end will,we
trust, be attained either in one way or the
other, and it matters little to the country
whieh il is. The had feeling AMI
the indignation of an injured public, to-
gether with the revengeful and malicious
expressions Of the President are quietly
snbsiding, and becoming only scrap of
history The President in his remarks to
the Maryland delegation was.more careful
Of his language, and refrained from the use
of further personalities; and Thaddeus
Stevens, the abused senator, made q hu
merous speech in Congress in reference to
the Presidents speech Of the 22d. We
may therefore shortly look for recon
structon ofamicable relations in the depart
entS of the government, after which salts

Of theological training. | notice some
ministers take it out of their pockets as
they do their sermons, and lay it on tho

some shake it over their heads; some
clinch it in their hands as if they were
going TO throw it al the audience, and some
keep orowding it in their pockets and keep

Small curls at the top of the forehead
are now considered Necessary to the ar
rangements of the front hair, as a chignon
is to the back. Few ladies will submit to
have their locks cropped in front for this
fashion, so they have recourse to what
may be called false fronts. Flowers are
but little worn now as head-dresses, and
the baadelets arc being replaced by these
small frizzled curls Butterflies, sequins,

gold fowrets, gold coral, gold braid, and
tiny humming birds are arranged careless

hair, although curled, is worn close to
the head, and, if bracelets are desired,
they are made of either shaded velvet
