LOG JAMs.-The lumber men in the
pineries have been unusually successful
in getting logs out of the rivers the pres.
ent season, but the Chippewa Falls Times,
speaks of an immense Gam" short dis
lance above that place, containing about
0,00o,0 900 feet of logs. A large force
of men with an engine are hard at work
to break the jam, but it is feared, as the
water is falling, that they cannot succeed.
Should they fail, the injury to the mills
below and, also those above, which will be
unable to get their lumber oat, will be
immense. The Clark Co. Republican
also tells of a jam on Black River which
contains about 70, 900, 900 feet.

WATERLOO, WIS. May 10, 1869.
Eds. RcpubLcan-The event that has excited
the greatest interest here since my last letter,
is the appointment of Hon. S. J. Conkln, on
Assemblyman, as Superintendent of Revenue
for the States of Louisiana, Mississippi and
Arkansas. We all feel interested in his pro-
motion, as he is q selfmade man, and has got
the smost of his education since coming
to Waterloo. We feel little proud of him,
and think if some of our young men here
would initiate h is energy and desire for self
improvement, it would be better for them and
for our place.
The Baptist Church has secured pastor in

WHEAT PRosPEcTs. During the
past week we have conversed with
farmers from all parts Of our coun-
ty, and they all inform us that the
growing wheat crop never gave
promise, at this time of year, of a
more abundant harvest.
A few days since we passed down
to Cincinnati, and all tie way the
wheat fields presented fine, green
thrifty appearance and we have
not, within the past ten years, seen
"a more favorable, prospect for a
rich harvest. The ground seems
to be completely covered with Q
beautiful green carpet.
Farmers! hold your heads up
The omens are encouraging.
