in Lancaster looking over the statis-

merce, mining, wealth supports
new enterprises, manufacturing,
milling, &c., of Grant County, lengthy
Ereports Of which he is to publish
in the Sentinel. He is to visit other
parts of the county soon and contins
ue his reports, especially upon the
resources of our county. His very
elaborate letters will be too long for
republication in the HERALD, but if
any have the curiosity to reed them
orders may be left Immediately at

or Weekly Sentinel, or for the num-
bers containing the articles.
Mr.. Chamberlain is one of our
foremost writer's for the press, and a
most worthy man. We have word
here for the people:
You are mostly reading Chicago
news, and largely patronizing the
Chicago Republican, under a mista-
ken notion that for markets, business,
news, &C., our Milwaukee and other
State papers are less valuable
There are several evil consequences
from such wanderings the immedi-
ate effect is a general loss Of interest
in Wisconsin policies and business,
and switching off toward Chicago
and Illinois---places in which we have
no naturrl interest but what is sell
fish your State pride and home pa
triotism seem to be gliding away, all
the result Of reading only Chicago
papers, and nothing else except the
| HERALD.
There might be no harm in all this,
except that in matters of great com.
mercjaI and business Importance, rail
road enterprises, elections, &C., you
are constantly either wrongly adj
vised on Wisconsin affairs or else not
advised at all.
For such reasons and others we
ask that opr leading men at least try
and do their best to have more Wis
consin papers taken and read at
least as many as Chicago and as the
Milwaukee SentiueI is the first, largest
and best paper in the State, we ask
that it be patronized by at least 1000
Of our citizens. The terms are ad~
vertised in the HERALD.
Admitted to the Bar-A Legal Ten Pin,
A young man named Geo. G. Glenn
entson, q law student in Barber IS
Office, was admitted one day last week
during the March term Of court at
Lancaster, to practice law. An hour
or two after he was employed on the
side Of prosecution in the noted Ha-
eel Green whisky suits, and immedi-
ately answered his turn to address
the jury. His remarks were SO pun~
gent and pointed that the Court, and
eA Court, the opposing lawyers and
witnesses, and all concerned were
seen trembling in the knees as if smit-
ten for their sins. He appeared to
them as blazing metoric apparition
and the last half worlds WONDER
But when Clementson had tossed his
last ball among the legal ten pins, and
scattered them as comet-struck con
stellations, the opposing lawyers met
for holding council Of war; and
pretty soon the oratorical thunder Of
their Paixham guns was touched off,
causing the young Pericles to wilt
like a sun-struck morning glory
Clementson has not since appeared
in court, but it is very evident that
the legal galaxy feel that their days
are numbered, and that pretty soon
there will be total eclipse.
SHADE TREEs.-One Of the chief
ornaments for which the village OF
Lancaster is famous and admired is
! the ten thousand ornamental and frat
trees bordering and dotting nearly
every village lot. The evergreen
trees numerous about town and now
Of goodly size, in measure seem TO
remove the dreariness Of winter and
make many houses otherwise cheer
less the most inviting Of any. A few
dollars laid out for evergreens for
planting about houses would pay
interest thrice compounded by in
creasing the value Of property, not to
count the comfort.
| But we meant more especially to
call attention to the public profit
gained by planting shade and orna-
mental trees this spring fronting
every lot in town, Naples and Cots
ton Woods can be had and other
trees to please the fancy. Money
for the like may be raised by subs
scription but the just and right way
would be to raise it by taxing the
village revenues. For one we are
tired Of paying for the improving o.
other mems property, they sharing
| equal benefits with those who pay all
/ -et these things be seen to
! TO TEE People. We have SO long
advised and the practice has been Sc
general for the people 10 meet on
Saturday afternoon preceding the
Spring elections, for tho purpose Of
nominating, candidates for the town
Offices, thai the custom may be con-
sidered fixed and even localized.
