 The Supreme Court of Wisconsin has de, cided that in lS4s the people ratified the pro- posed amendment csnferring the right of suffrage upon negroes. It appears that at the election held that year such an amendment was submitted to the people, and majority voted for it but as the Constitution required a " majority of all the votes cast at such cleo tion," it was declared by the canvassers that as majority of those who had voted for State officers had not voted for the amend ment, it had failed. The Supreme Court has decided that this was erroneous, and that the amendment was adopted. and that, therefore, negroes are entitled to vote in Wisconsin.

Warned by the experience Of his UredeceSs-
ors, the inventor of the Empire Machine has
produced an instrument, combining all the
advantages for which others are Wanted
and obYiating every detect which can be At
tr;buted to them by the most Ias,idious
critic.
The Empire Machine is marvellous com
binaton of simplicity, economy and perfect
Workmanship, being durable, free from la
blity to get out of order, noiseess and easy
of operation. Its mechanical coutriyance
- such as to secure stability, freedom from
accident, and accuracy to workmanship.
By the use Of the patented shuttle and
straight needle it makes stitch, which can
neither rip nor rayel, while, at the same
tins, it can operate perfectly upon every
species ofmaterial from leather to cambrc,
with threads of cotton. linen or silk, from
the finest to the coarscst number.
AS the Empire Machine is gradually sup

THREE MEN DROWNED. We
find the foilowin g sad incident lie
lated in the Mitchell County
Press of last week:
Last evening jus, at dusk, Edward
McGrath, Jas. Levett, and John Wat
son attempted to cross the Cedar river
in skif above the dam, at Brush
Mill, four miles below this place and in
going from the East over, they were
forced by the current over the dam
their boat made perfect wreck, and
they cllnging to the pieces were carried
ahnn. eight. rods below the dam. when
trees en- an Island formed by the high
water.
The people on the bank of the river
could converse with them but having
DO boat: and owing to the darkness Of
the night and the force and rapiditv of
the current they were unable to rem
der the unfortunate and helpless men
any aid or assistance. And they were
thus within speaking distance With
their friends to perish in their terrible
situation.
The bodies of Watson and Le-
vett, were found on the island
next morning, both having per-
lshec with the cold, nothing was
heard of McGrath after he passed
over the dam.
The Press also states that Brush's
saw, shingle and planning mills
were destroyed.
