Hon. T. NEWELL Dear Sir II observe
by the last Kenosha TELEGRAPH that you have
used lime as a preventive of the ravages of
the potato bug. Their work here is of very
serious character. Many fields of potatoes
are entirely destroyed. I have saved ours
thus far by employing the boys in catching
them in pans, pals, &C., and drowning and
burying them, etc. But the second brood are
coming on, and anticipate they will be more
than we can handle. viii you please inform
me If the use of lime in your experiment has
been success, and if SO. your manner of ap-
plying it, and when and how, and you will
confer great favor upon all interested in our
Institution.
Yours very truly, c. 1. SUBWAY.

THE SPEAKERSHIP.

In late issue of our paper We propos-
ed the name of Hon j. NJ Bingham, of
this county, as suitable person for the
speakership Of the next Assembly, and
We have reason to believe that the sue-
gestion has met with no little favor
throus bout the State The Office is one
OF great honor and res possibility, and the
necessary quail fcations to enable an in-
cumbent to discharge its duties success
fully are neither few nor unimportant.
We do not consider that any man can
claim the Office as his by right, but. If
party services are a Recommendation, Mr.
Bingham can point to the fact that he
has since the organization Of the party
been an earnest, consistent and mJst eff,
Gent advocate Of Republican measures
and principles. If legislative experience
IS desirable, he has already served two
terms IN the Assembly during the years
of 1868 and 1864 with distinguished
honor TO himself and his district. He
received very fattering vote the Sec
ond term for the Speakership, and we
believe occupied what is considered as
the highest position in The House, second
to that Of Speaker-the Craftsmanship of
the Judiciary Committee. If marked
ability is desirable, ii is we'll known that
Mr.. Bingham has achieved great distinc-
ton in his profession as a lawyer, that he

tural aud Steck Raising community. living up
on the rich prairie lands of the West, aud to
whom the knowledge applicable to the dweley
on the sea-coast, in different climate, and on
different roll, is of comparatively little value.
In two respects, then, the Chicago Tribune Is
in the very nature of things, the superior of
any Eastern paper. It. is devoted to Western
interests and reaches it's readers with, at least,
two days later news; while for all general
top cs of interest, it is equally valuable with
any other paper, because it has the same means
and the same facilities of acquiring and giving
them to its readers We leave it to them to
make comparison between it and it's Western
contemporaries.

explored several Of its islands at the
season of laying and incubation for the
1nyrada ofguIls, ducks, pelicans, and other
water fowls that swan upon It's waters,
states that at that time the larger islands
are literally white with eggs In walking
toward the center of the island, it is i'm
possible to proceed fifty feet without step
ping upon some of the eggs, so Tricky are
they streWn over the ground. The fowls
inhabiting the islands are described as
being exceedingly tame; they hover and
futter upon the ground about the intruder
upon their breeding ground, or circle and
scream about his head, and with but little
show of fear. This absence of fear of man
il doubtless to be attributed to the fact
that until lately man had never been seen
by them upon their islands Owing to
certain superstitious notions held by them
IN regard to the lake, the Indians have
never, in the memory of their oldest chief.

they net withheld by the fear of monsters
in the lake and upon the islands. they
have no boats OF canoes, and know nothing
even of that rudest Of nautical arts-raft
navigation.
Among the islands of the lake are two
small rocky ones near to each other, and
at no great distance from the shore of the
lake, that are remarkable from the fact
that they are alive with rattlesnakes
Huge and lay old patriarchs of the islands,
with long strings of rattles upon their
tails, Turk in the shade Of almost every
stone, while younger and more active
members of the tribe glide about in all d.
rectiona, and the intruder upon these
islands of snakes is often treated to sere-
made by dozen sets Of rates of various
degrees of power and shades of tone. OF
course neither Whites nor Indians would
care to tarry long on these islands, nor
to cultivate more than passing acquain-
lance with their musical inhabitants. IT
is supposed that the reason of these two
inlands, being SO completely alive and
crawling with snakes. is that few hay
ing got on their shores by accident, and
finding convenient dens in the rocks. thew

the eggs aud unfedged young of the
brooding water fowl, and have gone on

ON THE BRIDGE.
A merry Christmas, l wish You all,
Good people and my friends,
And should make no New Years CALL
Let these verses make amends
The happy days are almost here,
When we eat fowl and pheasants
And fill the hearts of friends with cheer
In the holidays with presents
And while wish such joy to you,
Give attention b ut minute,
And will tell you something new,
Ofmy store and what is in it.
There are China sets all through complete,
What better gifts for cousins,
But if you do not want set.
We sell this ware by dozens.
Of all the fancy china ware

You'll own there's none that can compare
To mine, whoever bought Of

They are for bachelors and you
Who drink therefrom, will ne er he Tilted.
I've toilet sets of many kind,
And every style of vases,
Better, you II own tbs hard to find
In this, or other places
There are fancy dishes made for eggs,
They are chicken imitation,
Ban tam, Shanghai, or Yellow EGGS,
I don't know the relation.
Smoking sets, for those who smoke,
Made of the purests lava,
But where they come from that's the Joke,
Perhaps Vesuvius, Etna or Java
Bohemian vine sets, three or more,
They are among the incest 7r.rIs
Of all the goods have in store y
And sell for moderate prices -EElfH
The children's toys are indeed the pride
OF all the darlings, of the place,
And as they pass they glance aside,
A smile on every face.
The dolls, the little sets for tea,
The mugs of every style,
And noticed like the plates they see,
Their little hearts beguile.

And then the editor would wax wroth,
And say cut Il dashing caper
