CHIRIQUI IMAGEs.-We have had the
pleasure of examining a quantity Of gold
received by DIR. j. G. AVER & Co., from
Honduras, in payment for their medicines,
which are extensively sold throughout Cen
trail America. Among massive crosses,
bracelets, and chains, are the rude images
which have been taken from the graves of
the Chiriqui chiefs-birds, turtles, serpents,
bugs and reptiles done in solid gold. They
carry US back beyond historic times, to pc
riods and places where barbarism reigned
supreme. They seem to some here now in
mute appeal from the winding sheets of
their ancestors, to ask for the simple In
dians in the mountains, medical protection
from cultivated skill, against diseases that
gather them up in too early graves Ig-
norant and uplettered as they are, they
have learned of the white man enough to
know where to apply for relief, and what
will bring it. Our well known tovnsmen,
above named, inform US that they require
their remittences from foreign countries to
be made in silver and gold.-LoweH, has

REPUBLICAN NoMINATIoNs.-The Re-
publican State Convention met at Madison
on the 4th, and nominated the following
ticket:
Governor-Lucius Fairchild, Of Dane.
Lieut.. Governor-Wyman Spooner, of
" alworth.
Secretary of State-Thomas s. Allen, of
Iowa.
Bank Comptroller-J. NJ. Rusk, of Yer
non.
Treasurer-Wiliam E. Smith, of Dodge.
Prison Commissioner-H Cordier, of
Dodge.
Attorney General-Charles r. Gill, of
Jefferson.
Superintendent of Public Instruction
A. j. Craig, of Jefferson.
1t will be seen that all the old officers
were re-nominated but one-Mr. MCMYNN
being thrown overheard, and Mr.. Craig
being put in his place. The plans of the
wicked Regency at Madison, were fully
carried out. Should the people be blind
enough to elect the above ticket they may
expect nothing but stealing again for the
next two years.

NEW Stock OF GOODS We were glad
to take our popular merchant, O. ToRRI-
SON, Esq, by the hand the other day, af-
ter several days absence in New York,
where he had been to purchase large and
fine assorted stock of goods for his fall and
winter trade. They have now arrived, and
he is exposing them for sale. As Mr.. Tor
RIsON is one Of the most extensive mer-
chants in Wisconsin-doing a very heavy
trade-he purchases without stint in the
Eastern markets, and sells his goods much
cheaper than small merchants can afford to-
BY honesty and fair dealing with his custo-
mers, Mr.. ToRRIsoN has increased his trade
to such an extent that the sales of no store in
the State outside of Milwaukee can exceed
his business. Honor and strict business
ability like Mr.. ToRRISoN's will always
win.

The Chiffon Times says the dry weather
still continues in that county, and great in
convenience is felt in consequence There
is very little feed for stock in the pastures
or forest, and all springs and wells never
before known to fail are drying up. There
is not water enough in the Manitowoc river
to grind -four for home consumption, and
the farmers are compelled to take their
grist to adjoining counties. Unless there
is plenty of rain soon there will be large
amount of suffering.

%The astute radical rump congress-

@The astute radical rump congress
the legislators who are inspired with
great moral idea," who drink in "divine
'af1atus' as other men or as they them
selves do whisky-will have to call another
session. Another session is necessary to
head off the president. The last session
was held to correct the blundera and omis-
sions Of the former. Another will have to
be held to patch up the blunders of the last.
1t is great thing, this rump. 1t cannot
pass law that any two men in the country
can agree on. It cannot even pass laws
which are of sufficient force to bind a SIN
gle man, and he man who obeys every
law when its meaning is unmistakable.
Let Us have some more extra sessions
Let the already overtaxed country be called
on to pay for more sessions to correct more
blunders.
