Our Home Institutions,

1t is with no little pride and intere~ -.
we notice the progress of our Home lnstltu-
tions, and first among them, is the almost
wonderful progress of the North Western Mu
tual Life Insurance Co. This young Giant OF
the North West which is among our heaviest
moneyed institutions, is keeping in circulation
in our midst, two and q half millions OF dol
lars, which were it not for this Co., would be
sent east for investment, men are investing In
Life Insurance as protection, for no one can
afford to live without it,capitalists are invest
ing as source of profit, and we are pleased
to notice that citizens of our own community
and farmers in particular are awaking to their
interest in this direction, and are insuring
largely in the North Western Co., and there
by keeping the money at home. The business
in our own city and county has increased to
that extent, that it has become necessary for
the Co., to place an active man in this county,
whose entire business willbe to look after the
interests of the Co. Mr.. ISAAC WooD, whose
head quarters may be found at this city will
hereafter receive the renewal collections for
this vicinity and will be happy at all times to
present the claims of the Co., and receive ap-
plications for insurance.

The letter written by General Grant to the
President protesting against the removal Of
General Sheridan is published. 1t is not
too much to say that this noble document
anticipated every argument which has been
urged by the press and people of the coun-
try against that ill advised step, and that
it presented the reasons why that step
should not be taken in more pointed and
concise terms than have been employed by
anybody else. The unmistakeabe will
of the people, the great services OF General
Sheridan, the bad effect which his removal
would have on the unreconstructed elenen I
of the South, the repeated expression of
General Thomas wish not to be made the
instrument of censuring General Sheridan,
and the duty devolving upon the President
to execute the Reconstruction Law faithful
ly-are all pointed out in nervous language,
which leaves no doubt that General Grant
was deeply solicitous that the order should
not be insisted on. No one can read the
letter without feeling that the most crue
injustice has been done to the great soldier
by those who have charged him with sym
pathizing with ANDREW JohDson's policy
| There is not word which does not breathe
the truest loyalty to the principles upol
which the rebellion was put down aud the
work of reconstruction undertaken by Con
gress Above all, the injunction which he
gives to the President, that this is repub
lie, in which the will of the people, consti
tutionally expressed, is to be obeyei, ii

announcements,

improvements
There is nothing gives us greater pleasure
than to note the Improvements going on about
our beautiful park city. For years the hight OF
our ambition has been to see such manufactur-
ing industries established here,a would build
up such city as the natural beauties and ad-
vantages of our location deserve. And it would
seem that our hopes are about to be realized,
for we cannot'remember season, for long
time, when there was so much of real sub
stantial improvement going on, as the pres
ent season.
Among the notable Improvements, none is
more prominent than that of our friend Seth
Doan, about his dwelling.
Then there is another change on the Park
that beautiful Mansaid roof with all the ac-
|companying improvements, will so change the
appearance of the homestead, that its best
friends viii hardly recognize. 1t will be an
ornament to the town as well as a credit to
the good taste of the proprietor, whose name,
by the way, for special reasons, we forbear to-
mention. --~
In this connection we may mention the i'm
provement made by our friend, s. Y. Brande
in the old DIR. Walker place, opposite the Dur
kee House. The House has been raised near
ly half a story and the lower, front room on
the corner, is being fitted up elegantly for his
Real Estate Office. The knoll back of the
house has been graded and leyelled with
Main street and crooked alley.

The County Convention.

Owing to press of other matter, as well as
press of other duties, we neglected, last week
to call the attention of our friends to the call
! of the county Committee for a County Con
vention on Saturday next, at the Court House,
in this city AS it is there is but little time for
holding the primary meetings and electing del
egates.
The only business of the convention is the
election of Delegates to the State Convention,
but it is none the less important that each
town and ward of the county should be fully
represented This cannot be done unless the
people attend the primary meetings and elect
delegates who will represent them. If the
election of these delegates is left entirely to
the discretion of half dozen or less of active
politicians, the consequence will be that the
politicians will be represented, and the real
wishes of the people ignored or disregarded.
If the people will only attend the primary
meetings, and control them, we would not be
afraid to guarantee the success of republican
principles for all time to come; because repub-
lican principles are all comprised in the admin
istration of affairs according to the wishes of
the people. We hope to see full and fair
representation of the whole county present on
Saturday next.

The Harvest and the Orons.

We have seen and conversed with farmers
from various portions Of the country during
the past few days. The general facts thus
learned are, that the haying and the harvest
is about completed The wheat is about all
cut, and nearly all secured or awaiting the
threshers, in most excellent order. The yield
is said to be nearly up to expectations in
quantity, while in quality, anticipations are
fairly surpassed Wheat did not stand thick
on the ground, but the heads are well filled,
and the grain mostly plump.
The hay has been secured in the best order,
and many of our friends assure us that the
yield is unusually heavy. Altogether we have
seldom seen the agricultural fraternity wear
ing more satisfied airs in this county.
