CRY AND LITTLE WOOL.

The Democracy are busy beating
around for Presidential candidate, and
are endeaVoring to create great rumpus
and fuss over the matter. One day it is
this man, and the next some one else, as
though it was matter Of great impor-
lance who is to be the unfortunate victim.
Now, to cur mind, all this great excite
ment among them is all moonshine, and
sheer nonsense, as they have no mole
idea of eleeting their candidate than they
have of stopping the flow Of Niagara
with pasteboard. It is the braying of
the iackass in the lions skin, but the ears
are too visible to fool any body. The peo-
pie Of this country are not so fore etful of
the recent past as to allow the Govern
ment to again fall into the hands of that
party which sought its destruction, and
the true people. of this nation can quiet
their nerves in regard to- the probability
Of the Democracy electing their Presi-
dent. Since,it has become aeertainty that
Grant is to be the next Republican
standard bearer our Democratic brethren
see the handwriting on the wall. That
they consider the nomination of Grant
their death knell, may be seen by the
vigorous attacks their papers are m king
upon him.

CONGRESS-.

Congress re assembled on Monday.
The work of Congress does not usually
commence until after the recess, but this
year some important legislation was done
before the adjournment
At no time in the period of our history
has there been so much interest manifes-
ted in the doings of Congress as at pres
emit. So far the statesmen composing the
House of Representatives appreciate the
object for which they were sent to Wash
-ington, by the promptness they have
shown in meeting the issues now before
the country. The Senate, on the other
hand, is too tardy in its movements, and
so far have done little or nothing of any
Importance. Let us hope that the Sen
ate will stop dilly-dallying and wake up
to the Importance of meeting the ques-
tons of the day without SO much DELHI err
alton and speech making

BURIED ALIVE AND REsCUED.-We
learn from A NJ Ball, Of Neenah. the
particulars of most remarkable accident
which lately happened at Amherst, in
Portage county, Wis. A man named
VIM. Boba, farmer, was deepening his
we'll and had got to the depth of seventy
fee feet, when upon moving a portion of
the curbing, the whole curbng fell in and
he Was buried otoe se0eaty.foe feet under
ground and over sixty feet of dirt and rub
bish was on top of him. The alarm was
given and the neighbors turned out en-
n,osse with shovels and pick-axes, and
after lapse of four days, during which
the men worked like heroes, the immense
pile of earth and stones were removed
and Mr.. Boba was rescued alice! This
we consider one of the most remarkable
escapes on record, and can only be ac-
counted for from the fact of there being
Ladder in the well, and which probably
saved Mr.. Boba from an instant and hor.
rible death When brought to the sur
face his hair had whitened, but it is i'm
possible to describe the meeting between
himself and family who supposed as a
matter of course he was gene from them
forever The record of this accident Is
true, though it sounds stranger than fc
tion.-Neenah Times

NIAGARA FALLS Dry Almost, and
for few hours; for the strong easterly
gale of last Thursday blew the waters of
Niagara River back into the lake, and
produced extraordinary phenomena at and
around the great cataract. They were
thus described by correspondent:
"Bufalo Greek was so low that all the
vessels in it were grounded, and Niagara
Falls was livulet compared wi h its ma
tive grandeur. The bed Of the American
branch was so denuded that you could
travel in its rocky bed without wetting
your feet, and mysteries that were never
before revealed came to light on that day.
Rocks that here ofore were invisible APP
peared in their full grown deformity upon
the surface, and great was the CONSERVATION
among the fny tribes The Three sisters
were accessible to foot passengers, and
many traversed where human foot had
never trod, with perfect impunity and dry
feet. Below the Falls was the wonder Of
wonders. The water was twenty feet
lower than usual, and the Oldest inhabi-
tants gazed in wonder at the grand trans.
formation Near Suspension bridge the
celebrated rock at Winners mills upon
which a drowning man caught and was
rescued several years ago, which barely
projected it's head above the water, was
hid bare twenty feet above the surface. .
With the subsistence of the gale, the
waters came back, and Niagara was her.

anlury inflicted or the murder committed.
This kind Of preef bas often to be relied
upon in criminal cases. Crime is usually
committed in secret; it chooses darkness
or solitude, and shrouds itself in mys-
tcry.
This kind Of proof mean circum-
stantial eyldence--fs, where the facts
proved are not the precise facts in issue,
but where the jury is to come to con-
clusion upon the facts in issue By an act
of reasoning FROM other proved facts. If
ira eler in wilderness should find
human habitation,-a house,-he would
at once presume that man had been there
before, because there is the handwork Of
man. And, should it become necessary
to prove the fact in court that man had
been there before, it might be done by
proof of the existence of the house. In
criminal prosecutions, circumstantial evi-
dence should be such as to produce the
same degree Of certainty as that which
arises from direct testimoney, and to ex-
ciude rational probability of innocence.
The learned judge further explained
the distinctive features of direct and cir
cumstantial evidence. He explained to
the jury the nature of manslaughter, and
instructed them, in case they should find
that the facts showed its commission in
stead Of the crime of murder, to bring IL
verdict to that effect. He reminded
the jury that, if a reasonable doubt exist
cd in their minds, the prisoner was en-
titled to the benefit Of it,
THE VERDICT.
At 4 o'clock p NJ, the jury retired,
and, after an absence Of Is minutes, re-
turned with verdict of "Not guilty"
A TOUCHING SCENE.
The scene which ensued was touching.
No sooner was the verdict announced
than the little brother was passed over
the railing to the prisoner, and embraced
him with childish happiness. Then came
the sisters and mother, and, with tears
streaming from eyes long used to weep
ing, they embraced brother and son.
So terminates this remarkable trial
which, it is believed, has no parallel in
criminal jurisprudence CHICAGO Times.

BY the foregoing statement it appears
that in the sixty-two schools reported for
the month of November, there have
been lost by hardness, sixteen days time
and by absence eleren gears and twenty
nine days, in all eteUen gears, one month
and fifteen days. 1t is surprising that a
people who have learned by experience:
how inestimably valuable to their children
is each moment of their ool-days,
should permit them to waste so much Of
this priceless time, through want of
punctuality and attendance Do those
persons who are in the habit of allowing
their children to remain out of school now
and then, ever stop to think that day
lost during term, is lost forever; that
will never return, and can never be
recovered or made up in this world. The
golden opportunity to improve and expand
his mind is thus wrongfully taken from
the child, and that too by his parents
1t belongs to the child, and it is the pa
rents duty to allow him to enjoy it. The
school-days of our children are at best
all too short to fit them for the fierce
battles of life. Will parents, then. take
from them even part of this already too
limited time
Fifteen of the schools reported, have
not been visited by parents or patrons,
the past month. The importance of visits
by the patrons Of school is too we'll un-
derstood to need comment here. The
encouragement which these visits give
both to scholars and teachers, can hardly
be overestlmated. Il shows the scholar
more than anything else, that you are in
terested IN him, and that he is not sent

Every person engaged in teaching is
requested to make report to me on the

No teacher will be excused from prompt
compliance with this request, and it will
be remembered that this matter is re-
garded at the examinations. Teachers

and end Of the sides of the car, say two or
three inches deep; let the roof be made
in divisions, say five or six feet wide at
each of these divisions let there be an
iron fange or tenon to fit easily into the
groove. The roof would not be in the
least affected BY the jolting or oscillation
of the cars. but the moment that it fell on

1t is alleged that the authorities at
Washington, by the employment of de-
tccsives, have discovered the existence of
an extensive organization throughout the
country, known as the whisky Ring"
with headquarters at New York, whose
object Is to prevent the collection of the
whisky tax. The conspirators are said to
have made fifty million dollars within the
past year by bribing Collectors, Assessors
and Inspectors
