the Publisher believes that they are men
eminently qualified for their responsible
duties. They are a unit in their determine
alton to do their very best as conscien-
tious, Christian men to speak the truth,
and the truth only, in the fear of God, for
the good of the world.
The Independent has to-day probably
three times as many clerical readers as any
other religious weekly. It's supporters
and friends are the leading, thinking, act
i've working-men Of the age; and their
number is rapidly multiplying. They are
the bone and sinew of the nation.
The enlargement of this most excellent
and interesting paper involves an annual
additional cost of about $50 900, and prob
ably more. The new press on whichit is
printed cost the snug little sum of $4,000
and is model. The subscription is $2,5o
per year for single subscribers, which is
very cheap. The publisher concludes his
remarks on the change as follows
"We believe the Independent is now the
largest, ablest, cheapest, and most attract.
i've relig ious weekly published and we
know that it is our sincere wish and de
termination to make it power on earth
for the uplifting of the poor, the teaching
of impartial justice, the roofing out of in
temperance, the spread Of pure Christi
anity, and the salvation Of men.

The New York Independent.


This religious weekly family paper, is
nearly of age-will be twenty one in few
days, and is believed to be the largest
newspaper in the world, containing each
week the enormous amount of serenity two
columns, forty Of which are devoted to
reading matter. Eight years ago when the
present publisher came in, the paper was
net on paying foundation, its liabilities
amounting to over forty thousand dol
lars. Since then the sum of nearly seven
ty-five thousand dollars has been paid for
advertising the Independent in other
newspapers, and more than two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars given away in
premiums for new subscribers.
The circulation of the paper has steadi.
ly and rapidly gained. 1t has gained in
the past more rapidly than any other reli-
gious newspaper; and'it is now gaining
more rapidly than any other similar journ-
al in the world. Its subscription-list at
present is nearly, if not quite, three times
as large as that of any weekly of its char
acter in America or Europe.
1t now numbers in its staff eleven edi-
tors, who write weekly in its columns; and

The Next Legislature,


Which will convene at Madison on the
second Wednesday in January, 1869, is
well made up, including lawyers, poets,
historians, farmers, millers, doctors, lum-
bermen, merchants, editors and gentlemen.
Senator'S Van Wyck, of Kenosha, Ha-
zleton, of Grant, Webb, of Wood, Barlow,
of Sank, Newman, of Trempeleau, War
ing, of Berlin, Clark, of the 33d, and
Bragg, of Fond du Lac, are lawyers, and
furnish good material for the judiciary
committee.
Major Kershaw, of Adams county, will
be found working. efficient Senator. 81
Webb, of Grand Rapids, brother of w.
G. and H. G. Webb, formerly of Wau-
shara county, is without experience in leg
islative business, but is an able and elo-
quent man, and can make good record if
he will. In point Of ability he is second
to no man in the Senate.
In the Assembly there are many expe-
rienced legislators and able representatives,
among whom we mention II. ID. Barron,
of Polk, A. NJ Thomson, of GAINESVILLE
Gazette, Geo. S. Graves, of Sheboygan, NJ.
Fl. Sessions, of Waupaca, A. j. Turner, OF
Portage Register, Thad. @. Pound, Of
Chippewa-each of whom have been NEIL
toned in connection with the Speakership.
The contest will, no doubt, simmer down
to Judge Barron and Mr. Thomson, with
the chances in favor of the latter.
The session will probably be short. The
election of U. S. Senator takes place on
the third Monday of January.

For the Chronicle.
Arena, Wisconsin.

Mr.. EDITOR: This village is steadily
improving, its change and rapid growth
being always the subject of remark
amongst travellers who have returned this
way after several months absence. Being
situated on the line of the Prairie du
Chen railway, and close to the Wisconsin
river, its natural advantages are great and
it bids fair in time to rival some of the
older towns. The transactions in grain
and live stock are very heavy during the
fall of the year. There are no less than
six warehouses for the buying and storing
of grain. The railway facilities for re-
ceiving goods are such that farmers can
get of the storekeepers almost any kind of
merchandise as cheap as can be had in
Madison, Milwaukee or Chicago.
Let me give your readers list of the
stores, &C., and they will be able to judge
of the Importance of the place:
F. I. S. Ansdell, dealer in dry goods,
groceries, Yankee notions, SC.
Morris & Jones, ditto.
Barnard 8 Meigs, ditto.
John De Boos, ditto. See advertisement
in CHRONICLE.
S. D. Times, ditto.
Henry Bauman, ditto.
Charles R. Wheeler, stoves, tin and
hardware.
VIM. Fl. Jones, Jr., postmaster, drug
gist, and insurance agent.
Mrs. Willard, millinery.
! VIM. 9. Meffert, harness maker.
3. Mordal Evans, artist.
| We have also two boot and shoe stores
two lumber-yards; three hotels; two
drinking saloons; one billiard saloon
three blacksmith shops one wagon shop
two butcher shops, Good Templars'
hail, and an excellent saw and planning
mill, owned by Albert d. Jones, whose
advertisement can also be found in the
CHRONICLE.
The inhabitants are English, Irish, Ger
mans, Norwegians, Welsh and Americans.
The church here is Congregational
Rev. A. A. Overton, pastor.
The Germans constitute large element,
and are organizing to build church of
their own, service being now held in the
German language at the schoolhouse.
Thanksgiving day was pretty generally
observed, service being held at the church,
with an excellent discourse by the Rev. A.
A. Overton in the morning, which was
well attended. In the evening there was
social gathering of the young folks at
the Good Templars' hall, where music and
beauty reigned supreme. The weather
during the week was mild and spring like.
For the benefit of the travelling public,
l would inform them that there is change
in the railroad time table: The morning
express train is due here from the west at
1875 instead of lilo, as formerly. The
evening express from the east is due at
6:3 instead of 532. The night express
1910 from the west, and $40 from the
east. Freight trains, as usual.
Some of the lovers Of tobacco are laying
in good stock, as heavy rise in the
price is anticipated after the first OF jan
uary. So Mrs. Jordan says.
| Yours truly, GEORGE.

Our dispatches announce the death Of

some mouths-in fact he has lived longer
than was expected. He is native Of the
quiet little town OF Psacham, CalAdenia

writer hereof remember the house wherein
he was born. He was the son Of poor, but
worthy parents, and in his boyhood DAYS
tasted deeply Of the cup Of poverty. The
family removed 10 Pennsylvania many
years ago, and from obscurity Thaddeus
arose to fame. He has been an active poll
ltician-ardent, acrimonious and uncom-
promising in his partixanship. In his party
be was an unmistakable leader-"the great
commoner" of his school, and though full
credit may be given him for his honesty oi
purpose, yet he was Of that particular class
