The Impeachment Managers.

Butler and his guano associates are busy in
hunting up testimony to prove that corrupt
influences were brought to bear upon some Of
the Senator's who voted for acquittal Of the
President. The impudenoe of this movement
Is Characteristic, for the whole course of the
managers has been indecent, and is disgrace
fol b.otupon the annals Of the country.
As a fair set-od to these proceedings, the
abused Senators should call for an exposure Of
the indecent and shameful attempts of mem
bcrs Of the House and others to coax or intimi-
date members of the Court.

THE FAIR.-This expression always
reminds one of the stair Ones" who are
always in attendance, with their ''attrac.
tons" at the annual Fair. In this re.
sptct they set their poorer halUes fine
example. They exhibit specimens of their
handiwork from any and all departments
from the rag carpet to embroidery
from :he coarse brown bread to the most
delicious cake, and so on TO an illimitable
extent. This year we ask Mechanics and
Farmers to follow their example. We
ask this of the citizens of River Falls in
particular, and all the rest of the county
in general. Prescott has done nobly by
way of fitting Fair Grounds, and they al
ways give us kind reception.
We ask and urge all to attend the
Fair, and put something on exhibition.
And now is the time TO prepare for it
Don't go IN single-hsnded, but join to,
gethcr by neighborhoods, and get up
teams, and let US have a Fair this year
worthy our means and worthy the NAME
We ask men, women, children and old
bachelors TO turn out. Let the latter
mako themselves useful this once, at least,
and no longer be like the odd half of q
pair of scissors. which may possibly serve
to scrape trencher.

SocIABILrTY.-It has been said Of the
people in some of our western towns, that
there is want of social, lively inter-
change Of thought and feeling among
them; that there is n sort of exterior cold
ness or Indifference towards each other,
and towards strangers in our midst. This
is true to a certain extent, vet this cold
ness and indifference, is more in appear
ance than in reality. The yankee eIe-
ment of the west, has grown shs of ia
miliarity with strangers on account of
available educational tactics, if it may be
expressed thus. A token of recognition
like shake of the hand, or any thing of
the kind, costs us nothing, aud not un-
frequently leads TO a pleasant interview.
But a word often causes trouble to both
parties. The yankee is abashed and
COMPOUNDED when he accosts foreigner
to whom he cannot make himself COM
prehensible; and his friend, the foreigner
is no less disconnected, when in response,
the only words of English he can ejacu-
late, are, ~ can't talk ENGLISH"
Again there is an inhospitable manner
prevailing generally-a sort of grudging,
go-to-the devil, elbow distance-style, which
too, is more in external show than real
feeling. Though never wanting in hos
pitality, may be, we are still wanting the
ability either TO invite, or to express true
generosity. Their is a seeming indiffer.
ence to the natural wants and even necess.
ilies Of those around us. We do moi
seem TO realize that we are entirely de-
pendent beings-tliat we are liable al
any moment to need the assistance, as
well as the compassion and sympathy oil
those around US. Let us reflect mo
mcnt. Look back but six short months
and We bahoId the manly form of one
but little passed middle life, who was a
lea ling spirit in society, and who seemed
almost to defy adversely. A few months
later and he is wreck Of n man, and en-
titled to the sympathy Of all who NEE
him; and now he is gone and the place
that knew him on earth will know him
no more forever. Such is human life
and this is no fahc, picture. We should
cultivate more friendly. social. good feel,
ing, aud though we may neves pry into
our neighbors' affairs for tho purpose Of
gossip, or out of mere curiosity, it may
be well TO be more frank, more generous
and moro kind. Cast jealousy, malice or
GOODNESS aside, remembering that,
IF every ones internal care
Were written on his brow,
A thousand would our pity share
Who raise our envy now"

They thresh, in good weather, about

1t will take about five to six weeks to do
the threshing in the two counties, and if
this basis approximates the true one, it
will be seen that the yield of small grain
for this year, will be about 100000 of
bushels. In speaking of the two coun-
