National Asylum for Disabled Volunteer
Soldiers,

We have received from Gen. B. f. BUTLER,
announcing that the National Asylum for dis
abled Volunteer Soldiers is now ready TO re-
ceive those entitled to the benefit OF the insti-
tuition. We make the following extracts:
The Board of Managers of the National Asy-
lum for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers give no
tice that they are prepared to receive benef-
Charles into either branches near Augusta, Me-.
Milwaukee, Wis, or at the Central Asylum
near Columbus, Ohio.
Volunteer soldiers are admitted upon appli-
cation by letter to either Of the Managers, or
at the Branch Asylum nearest to their place of
residence; whereupon blank applications will
be sent to the applicant, and if duly qualified
transportation will be furnished him.
The requirements are:
LIST. An honorable discharge from the volun-
unteer service.
End. Disability by wounds received or sick
ness contracted in the line of duty.
If the applicant is unable to travel or for
other sufficient cause, relief will be furnished
under direction of the Manager to whom APP
plication is made.
The oyerseers of all almshouses and charity
hospitals having disabled soldiers subssting
| upon private benefcence are respectfully urged
to report such cases to either of the managers,
as it is not fit that meritOrous disabled sol
diers of the nation should be supported by
private or public charity. Soldiers are espec-
tally informed that the Asylums are neither
hospitals nor almshouses, but homes where
subsistence, care, education, religious instruc-
ton, and employment are provided for dis
abled soldiers by the Congress of the United
States. to be paid for by the forfeitures and
fines of deserters from the army. The provis-
ion is not charity 1t is contrbutlon by
the bounty jumpers and bad soldiers to the
brave and deserving, and is their right.
Soldiers having a wife, child or parent de-
pending upon them, are not required to give
up their pension upon coming to the Asylum.
Other soldiers are required to assign their pen
sions to the Asylum in special cases only, TO
be determined by the Board.
Suitable compensation viii be given for prof
table labor in the Asylum. Good behavior
will insure the kindest treatment. Wives and
children win not be cared for at the Asylum,
until after the soldier has shown by his ability
to aid himself and them in part, by his labor
and steadiness that taking his family in charge
will not increase his expenses to the Asylum
above the cost of other helpless benefciaries,
in which cases provision will be hereafter
made BENZ. +. BIZ LEX,
President of the Board of Managers.

Ex-Cov. Henry Dodge.

HoN. HKNRY DoDGE, one Of the most prom
insnt men in the early history of Wisconsin,
died at the residence of his son, in Burling-
ton, Iowa, on the 10th inst. Gen. Dodge
held number Of important official positions,
during our Territorial history among these
were the Office of Governor, and of Delegate
in Congress. After the admission of Wis
consin into the Union as State he was
elected to the U. S. Senate, which post he
occupied some ten years. Prior to our Ter
Yitorial existence, and during the Indian wal
In the Northwest, he held a military position
as General, and was distinguished for acts o
bravery.
Gen. Dodge was self-made man; his
early advantages wer Q limited. His homes
ty and integrity gained for him the respect
Of the people, and upon bis strength Of char
acter he rose to eminence and dis tinction.-
During our Territorial history, he was &C
customed to visit this and other towns on
The Lake shore, twice year. Many of the
early citizens Of this county, doubtless have
= vivid recollection of The welcome with
which be was always greeted. For many
years, he was great fa7orite with the PEG
pie, and for some years, perhaps the mos
popular man in Wisconsin.

The Changing of bridge-bell, sound of ter

a theme on which have intended to speak a
piece for some time past. Ifyou can imagine
an Internal pit eight miles long, two or three
hundred feet wide and from fifteen to twenty
feet deep, filed with drainage from sinks and
sewers, refuse from gas works, offal from

of potash, asaf9tida, crude petroleum, decay
| ing vegetable matter, rotten dogs, rats and
other animals aud vermir, DRAWINGS from dis
secting rooms, and the whole filled in with

horrible filth of the Chicago river. 1t is a
very Pandora box of miasmatic poisons and
death Every twrl of the propeller screws
which constantly rush about in all directions
over its Shiny surface and in its odoriferous
ooze, sends up a sickening cloud OF stencil

Terrible Bear Fight.

On Tuesday morning Mr.. Edwin Vance, a
Young man about twenty years of age, and
son of Mr.. John Vance, who resides on Bear
Creek, went up the canon about four miles to
hunt, when he came upon a grizzly bear He
approached to within a few rods and fired
when the bear fell. He loaded and shot again
and as the bear fell upon the ground he reload
ed and went up to dispatch him. The bear lay
quietly until young Vance was within reach Of
him, when he arose on his hind legs and struck
the gun from his hands, which was fired at the
same moment, but without hitting the bear.
The bear then, with the same or another blow
tore open the flesh above Vance's right eye,
cutting two gashes, dropping the skin and
flesh down over the eye. The other nail caught
the nasal bone at the root and tore portion
away, and passing on, tore out the left eye
The bear then proceeded to give him hug and
commenced chewing and decorating him with
his teeth. He dislocated his wrist and broke
his forearm in one or two places. He then bit
his left knee severely and cut frightful cash
across the front portion of his limb above it.
He also bit both limbs from the knee down to
the ankle.
The bear then lay down upon him and both
remained quiet for some time, when the bear
removed q few feet and laid down, watching
him. After lying in this position f1r half an
hour, Vance ventured to get up and escaped,
the bear still remaining where he lay.
Shortly afterwards a young lad, son OF MI.
Robinson, about twelve years old but under
size, came up, and seeing the bear, shot tour
balls into him, then discovering the blood and
seeing Vances tracks, followed after him, He
found him about quarter of a mile distant,
where from loss of blood and pain he had he
come faint and unable to proceed further. The
| lad at once went for assistance and Vance was
taken home. DIR. Aduddell Of this city, was
| called and dressed the wounds ,snd gives these
particulars. He found the left eye lying up
on the cheek and so injured as to render its re-
moval necessary He reports none of the
wounds alone to be necessarily fatal, but say;
! that altogether, the wounds are very danger
ous and yet he has hopes of his recovery We
| believe that the young man could fall into nc
safer or more skillful hands than those OF the
| Doctor.
| The young man was recently from the state:
| and did not understand bear hunting, or it il
! probable that he would not have ventured tC
| approach so near, and would therefore have rs
capped. The lad showed great bravery in fol
| lowing up the attack.
There are comparatively few instances OF
| record here where bears have returned the at
tack, but it is generally understood that whel
MORALLY wounded they will do so if they have
sufficient strength. dt is also known to be trut
that a bear will sometimes run mile or mor'
after being shot through vital part.-Ntner'

THE SURVEY OF ROCK RTvrP
Major General Wilson's Renn,t

Md OF U6n6Ial WILSON'S heD0lt
The report of Major General ]. H. Will
son United States Army, on the slrv..v Of
Rock River Illinois, with reference to its
connections with Lake Winnebago in view
Of project to construct a canal and River
improvement between Green Bay and the
Mississippi River has just been published
for the Information of Congress.
The survey was commenced on the 7st of
September by Colonel James Worrap. Civ
II En- ineer, and was completed on the 1st
of December 1866 A line has been sur
veyed which is ample for all commercial
purpcb 5. but owing to the limited capacity
of the Summit reservoir Lake Horizon, it
cannot be made to accommodate the largest
class of boats navigating the waters which
it is intended to join, and with the addition
Of all the waters Of the neighboring streams
which lead into the reservoir, it could not
be brought up to the minimum required for
locks, seventy five by three hundred and
fifty feet.
The largest lock that can be consistently
supplied with water from the reservoir is
two hundred feet long between mitresiIIs,
and thirty feet wide sufficiently long to
pass nearly all the river steamers, propelled
by stern wheels, that are in use on the alflu-
ents Of the Mississippi River and General
Wilson urges the adoption of the largest
canal that eau be supplied with water The
line of navigation is divided into four parts:
From Green Bay to Lake Winnebago, al
ready provided with canal facilties from
Lake Winnebago to Lake Horizon, sixteen
miles,. ftom Lake Horizon to Watertowu.
and from the latter place to the mouth Of
Rock River 247 miles The second, third
and fourth sections will be 285 miles in
length, of which 117B miles will be canal
fed from Lake Horizon and the river. aud
the remainder slack water navigation.
There will be fifty-sx lift and nine guard
locks
General Wilson makes the following es.
innate of the cost Of the projected canal /:
Northern Division, from Fond du Lac to
Janesvile 103 miles, average cost per mile,
500, 57l; total cost, S., $780, 915. Middle
Division, from GAINESVILLE to Dixon 93 miles,
average cost per mile, $50, III; total cost,
So 637 1894, Southern division, from Dixon
to Rock Island, 80 miles, average cost per
mile, $44 208 total cost SO, 934, POS sum
total, 2S5 miles main average cost, SAT,
0l2; total cost $l9. 3985l3. With land
damages aud contingencies estimated at
81, 339, 85l, the total cost will be $14,738,
$40.

REHABILITATION.


Allowing 200 days to the season, it is easy
to calculate the aggregate amount of cheese
made in the town. 1t probably will not vary
far this year, from 43O, 900 pounds.
Of course more or less cheese is made
throughout the county, but in no other town
has it become the leading interest, as in Pleas
ant Prairie. In Somers a good beginning has
been made. Our former fellow citizen SAM.
SWEET, has rs COWS, and is making about 225
lbs per day. A meeting was held at the Town
Hall on Monday evening last, for the purpose
of considering the question of guaranteeing
the milk of 400 COWS for the first year, as an
inducement to parties to erect cheese facto-
ry capable of manufacturing the milk of GOO
COWS. We have not heard the conclusion ar
rived at, but take it for granted that the peo-
pie of Somers will not allow such an enter
prise to be diverted from them for the want o.
so little guaranteed patronage.
