Mr.. EDITOR Some weeks ago Mr.. N.
Whitman, of this village, circulated re-
port that had written to firms with which
he was doing business, informing them
that he, Mr.. Whitman, was abou. closing
out, and would probably defraud his cred
itors if not looked after, and advising them
to come and see after him Immediately. |
wish to say that the report is false in eve
.ry particular and as Mr. Whitman has
taken no steps to contradict the report,
wish you to publish the following letters
from the persons to whom it was reported
| had been writing.

SToRM.-The storm on Sunday last ap-
pears to have been an unusually severe
one. From various parts of the country
we hear of houses being blown down, doors
and windows being blown in, and other
evidences of the severity Of the gale. A
correspondent informs us that the house
of Mr.. Ralph Smith, of Wauzeka, Crawford
county, was struck by lightning in the
evening. 1t tore the roof near the chin
ncy, passed down the stove pipe, and into
the rooms below, where it appeared like a
large ball of fire. The house and furniture
was considerably damaged, but fortunately
no one was hurt.

ABOUT TIN. The tin mines in Cornwall
have been worked for 5000 years. They
are now yielding $500 tons per annum.
The Spanish tin mines have been known
nearly as long as the Cornish ones. Tin
was first discovered in Bohemia and Mics
sen in the 18th century. There are tin
mines in Saxony, France, Sweden and ST.
beria; also in Peru, Chill, Bolivia and
Mexico. Those in Mexico and South
America were at work at the time of Cor
tez's invasion. The United States import
cd tin to the value of $4,000, 900 in 1860
1t chiefly came from the Malay peninsula

SESsIBLE. The dog tax in Vermont
yields $4,000, and as three fourths of the
dogs are owned as usual by persons having
nothing else to tax but dogs, it is plain that
the lands of Vermont pay so much less
taxes. Unlike in Wisconsin, there are but
few Vermonters opposing the taxing OF
dogs. And too, unlike Wisconsin, the
Vermont farmers believe in taxing other
things than lands.

MILWAUKEE, Feb. 18th, 1868.

Mr.. j. G. HocKlNe, Dodgeville.
Dear Sir-Your favor of the 18th inst.
is at hand and we hasten to contradict a
false report or rumor now circulating in
your vicinity. You never have given us
any information whatever in regard to Mr..
Whitman or of his intention to sell out, OF
this let every one take due natice and gov
ern themselves accordingly. We get our
information from same source as all other
wholesale dealers, through the Commercial
Agency. We do not think that the cor
respondent in this case intended to do Mr..
Whitman an injury, but The rumor proba'
bly, started from Mr.. Whitman, stating,
that ne intended to change his business
somewhat and sell part of his property ;
this starting as rumor, would soon grow
to the dimensions of his whole stock, and
this more especially as there has been a
great many failures for the past 60 days.
Any further evidence the good people of
your vicinity may require to convince
themselves that you had no hand in this
matter, will be cheerfully furnished by
Your ob't serv'ts,

Queen Victoria Is fairly letting the English
speaking world into the condolences of her
domestic circle. Her latest publication
Highlands"- s"-presents her to the reader
divested Of all the accessories, all the dazzling
paraphernalia Of royalty, and in a character
Of feminine ease and dignity that the simplest
minded woman, as well as the most affec-
Honate wife in her realms, might envy. II is
to be sure, no great praise to say that queen
is also good woman, or II is certainly q left
handed praise towards royalty; yet when we
see woman holding In all respects so exalted
. place as that held by the Queen Of
Great Britain, and see that her head
has been so little turned or her heari
filled with cold pride by it-whsn we see by
the daily record Of her life the simplicity Of
sentiment and thought, the pure, earnes! gen.
tleness Of nature tina! Is 80 above all other
characteristics womanly-we are forced to
concede that this Queen must have been
scarcely less than q miracle Of honest, homely
virtues. .e
The influence Of this book must be very
great upon the British people. II will 20 d.
recsly 10 the heart Of the nation, showing rs il
does how warmly and earnestly the Queen Ia
In sympathy with oil that the country feels.
Her reception Of the news from Sebastopol, OF
the tidings Of Wellington's death, her appre-
citation OF the glories Of the Highland scenery
and her constant record of the movements
Of "Alber"-all these indicating that the
Queen is in reality only the first Of English
women In all good qualities will put to shame
and silence forever the vile whispers that have
foated up from the noxious slums OF London.
Indeed, as o royal book this will take higher
rank for It's effect than the "IdGes y, Of Napo-
leon, or than his Julius Cesar; for II s, finally,
better thing that sovereign should appear
before the people. as one enjoying the same
delights as themselves, feeling the same sor-
rows, living humanity on the same level,
rather than ss one sbstracted from their daily
life and specializing vaguely In thoughts be-
yond the reaches Of their souls.

the certain ehsct OF calling forth the sctive
sympathy Of the Greeks Of the kingdom; and
the voice Of Russia will be heard protesting
moro loudly than ever. II is impossible TO
refnse to admit that the spirit Of insurrsction
In Crete Is kept alive by Greek and Russian
influence, and that the real object Of Russia,
Of which Greece Is the tool in this matter, Is
so to complicate the affairs Of Turkey a. to
force settlement Of the Eastern question. 1t
remaius to be seen what open action Russia
will now take, and what shall be tho response
Of the Western Powers. The pear Russia
thinks Is sufficiently ripe, and she Is impatient
to pluck it Will the Western Powers permit
