others who have procured homes In
the North and West are, to some ex-
tent, spending what they have earned
in their return to Washington. The
destitution in the city is already
considerable, and increasing, as
you are all aware, on account
of the large number of en-
ployees that have been discharged
by different branches of the Govern

various industrial operations, by
reasons of the severity of the weather
and from other causes. Please use all
the influence you can exert to check
this immigration, and urge upon every
able bodied man and woman out OF
employment the necessity of seeking
homes In other places. Advise those
who are needy to apply to the employ
ment agents in different parts of the
city for assistance to procure places

Notice to Farmers.

In answer to Mr.. Trowbridge's notice
which appeared in your valuable paper Of
last week, l have to say that we hold a
contract from Mr.. Van Brunt for the ex-
elusive sale of his seeders in the counties
of Grant, Iowa, and Lafayette, and that
Mr.. Jones had no right to appoint Trow
bridge agent, as he is not agent himself,
and that Trowbridge sought his agency
to enable him to palm off his own ma
chimes through the reputation of Van
Brunt. In offering the Van Brunt for
sale, he will tell farmer to try one of his
machines first, and if that fails, he well
knows the Van Brunt will be all sold, and
cannot get one. That he has wilfully lied
and tried to deceive the farmers in this
respect he dare not deny. We just re-
turned from Horizon, and Van 'Brunt &
Co. have notified Trowbridge C Clayton
that they cannot get machine at any
price only through US, and we caution any
farmers who may be holding back their
orders through the influence of those un-
principled and lying men, to heed them
not, and come and get machine that is
genuine, and give them no chance to hold
your orders for other inferior machines
until ours are all sold. We are now re-
celving large number of machines at Min
eral Point and Platteville.

NOTICE!

A notice appeared in your paper in
which Mr.. Trowbridge claims to be agent
for the Van Brunt seeders, which there
cannot be doubt is done for the pur-
pose of forcing other inferior machines up
on the farmers. Read the following letter
from Mr.. Van Brunt:
HORIZON, Jan. 6, 1863.
Mr.. JOHN STRAcHAN, Mineral Point.
Dear Sir-Your favor of the 2Sth is at
hand. In regard to Mr.. Trowbridge & Co.
selling our seeders, he is not one Ct our
agents, nor have we made any local agents
in Iowa county. We find in looking over
our shipping books that Mr.. Jones ordered
a seeder shipped to Trowbridge at arena.
None in the Office knew where Trowbridge
lived, or whether he was simply buying as
farmer That is probably the seeder he
is handling, but we know nothing further
about him. Yours Truly,
VAN BRUNT & Co.
We are now receiving large number
Of Van Brunt seeders-forty have arrived
At Mineral Point. j. STRAcHAS.

ADVERTISING SALES OF PROPERTY -
The Lancaster Intelligencer, in speaking
of the Importance and great advantage O
advertising sales ofproperty in the news
papers, in addition to having hand-bills
printed, very truthfully says:
"a newspaper is read by hundreds who
never see the attractive bills which are
posted in taverns and store rooms. Every
subscriber to country paper reads such
advertisements carefully. He knows who
is selling out, and exactly what is offered
for SALE The advertisements are topic
of conversation when friends meet, and ar.
rangements are made for attending sales.
The result is large crowd, spirited bid
ding, and realization OF ten, twenty, or
fifty times what it cost to advertise. No
money is so sure to return :. large profit
as that spent on printers ink. A single
additional bidder on single article will
pay all it's cost to advertise sale of per-
sonal property in newspaper. Is it not
strange then that any one should fail to
advertise? Let cur friends think Of the
matter" -a-

A Brutal and Murderous Assault
in Mineral Point.

A murderous assault was made upon a
Mr.. R. Strike, about or o'clock on Sat
urday morning, by two rowdies named
Moon and Champion, who stabbed and
beat him until nearly dead. He was
stabbed in the neck within half an inch of
the jugular vein, and not content with this
they broke a gun to pieces by pounding
him in the breast with it. Champion was
arrested and is now in Jail. Moon is still
at large.
DR.. Vivian is attending the wounded
man, who now lies in very critical con-
dition.
The quarrel originated in dispute over
cards, whiskey being the prime mover.

Rsg%On slippery sidewalks it is often
desirable and proper that ashes should be
sprinkled, but to throw ashes out into
the street, is decided nuisance, and our
city fathers should forbid it. In addition
to spelling the sieighing, and causing
heavy swearing by teamsters with heavy
loads, these ashes make our streets intol-
erably nasty every time there is a thaw,
ard particularly in the spring when it
breaksup. A reform in this matter should
be started at once.
