At last we arc having beau tliul
weather and are In hopes it will last
long enough to be of some benefit to the
wheat crop. Wheat declines steadily
every day in Chicago and Milwaukee
markets, but we think it has got as low
as there is any probability of its get
ting, but we do not think it safe to hold
on to wheat even at the present prices.
Those residents in this section Of
Minnesota and Iowa, who wish to take
good smart boys to adopt, can have a
good chance on saturday::ne1t, (25th.) J.
Mr.. G. O'Conner, Agent of the Chill
drcn's Aid Society Of New York, will
be here on that day with a number of
boys seeking homes for them. We are
informed by the Rev. Mr.. Chapman,
who is conversant with the operations
Of this Society, that they are very sue
cessful in training boys so as to make
them useful, and worthy Of any good
man who may wish to adopt them
besides, it is doing an act of kindness
in furnishing homes for destitute Or
phans. We are not advised as to how
many Mr.. O'Conner will bring with
him, but VT suppose enough to supply
the many that will want them.
Last Monday Mrs. George T. Angel
and her sister, Mrs. Becker, started
from town to drive to their fathers
house two miles north and when
they reached the river, they found
the water running some two feet over
owing to tho late heavy rains, but
being ladies not easily daunted they
drove into the river and justas they
got on the bridge the horse com.
menced to staSger and fell down
the bridge and in his struggles to rise
brought the buggy on the very edge of
the bridge. If it had gone off
must surely have drowned the
ladies as the water is deep and runs
very rapidly. Fortunately Mr.. Besire
answered their cries for assistance, bu,
too late to save the horse. The ladies
managed to wade ashore very much
frightened, good deal wet and very
thankful that it was no worse. We
are sorry Mr.. Angel is the loser Of a
good horse.

The Court House.

1t may not be generally known that
the now Court House, built by Snow,
Tubbs 4 Co., is rapidly falling to pieces.
1t is thought by many to be unsafe to
occupy. by the way, there is another
little matter connected with the build
ing of this Court House which may be
interesting to many of our readers
The original plan called for building
Ga feet long. Mechanics put on their
bids upon that basis. After the con-
tract was let, by some act of legcr-
domain, four feet were clipped from the
length as given in tho contract. Then
came Tubbs and Snow, and after rega,
ling the worthy Commissioners with an
admirable oyster supper, present little
bill of $500 for building the
extra fonr feet. With few, sharp
trick, but one that is called perfectly
legitimate by any member of the ring.
ScuooL CENSUS BY DISTRICT

will fail on Thursday, the 3oM day Of
this month, to enumerate all persons be-
TWEEN five and twenty-onc years of age,
as by law required, and make an immc-
diate return to the County Auditor.
Clerks should do this, duty on the very
day named in the law, viz, the M'rtieth;
and they should 50 from house to house
and do the work thoroughly and faith
fully. Not a single scholar in the State
should be deprived of share in the
State school funds by the wicked neglect
of a clerk to make return. We gladly
secord the efforts made by the State
Superintendent to have perfect school
census the present year. Clerks, do
your duty on the very day and parents,
remind the clerk in your district of his
duty, ifyou fail to see him at

Tragedy near Chattanooga.


A tragic affair occurred on Salt Greek.

since. Mr.. Beane, school teacher, at
tempted to whip q boy named Hutchinson,
who resisted and left school. A day or
two afterwsrd young Hutchinson. accom-
panied BY bis brother and q man named
Smith visited the school house for the a.
vowed purpose Of chastising Became. and
not finding him there, they proceeded to
bis residence. Beane saw them coming,
armed himself, as also did Mr.. Moore,
who happened 70 beS st tito huus1. en-
their arrival Hutchinson said they intended
giving him (Beane) ,thrashing. Moore
demonstrated, when Smith drew pistol
and shot him dead. This was signal for
all to produce pistols. Beane shot and
Instantly killed Cyrus Hutchison, brother
of the schoolboy. He had scarcely fred

Moore. fred another barrel of his repeater
at Became; the ball struck, but failed to
immediately disable him. Beane then
turned on Smith and lodged three balls in

Amnesty Proclamation by tho President
OF the United States.

OF the United States
WHEREAS, The President of the United
States has heretofore set forth several procla-
nations offering amnesty and pardon to per-
sons who had been or were concerned in the
late rebellion against the lawful authority OF
the Government of the United States, which
proclamations were severally issued on the 9th
day of December, 1868, on the 26th day OF
March, 1864, on the Goth day of May, 1865,
on the 7th day of September, 1867, and on
the 4th day of July of the present year;
AND WHEREAS, The authority of the Fede-
raj Government having been re-establisbed
in the States and Territories within the juris-
diction of the United States, it is believed
that such prudential reservations and excep-
tons as, at the dates of said several procla-
nations, were deemed necessary and proper,
may now be wisely and justly relinquished,
and that an universal amnesty and pardon
for participation in said rebellion extended to
all who bore any part therein will tend to Sc
cure permanent peace, order and prosperity
throughout the land, and to renew and fully
restore confidence and fraternal feeling among
the whole people, and their respect for and
attachment to the National Government, de-
signed by its founders for the general good
Now, therefore, be it known, that I, AN
DREW JOHNSON, President of the United
States, by virtue of power and authority in
me vested by the Constitution, and in the
sovereign people of the United States, do
hereby proclaim and declare, UNooND1r1oN-
ALLY AND WITHOUT RESERVATION, TO ALL
and every person who, directly or indirectly,
participated in the late instruction or rebel
lion, A FULL PARDON AND AMNESTY
for the offence of treason against the United
States, or adhering to their enemies during
the late civil war, with restoration of all
rights, privileges and immunities, under the
Constitution and laws, which have been made
in pursuance thereof
10 testimony whereof, 1 have signed these
presents with my hand, and have caused the
seal of the United States to be hereunto affix-
ed. Done at the city of Washington, the
25th day of December, in the year of our
Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty
eight, and of the Independence Of the United
States of America the ninety-third.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun says:

The Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun says:
"In connection With the congressional
Investigation into the form of government
of Maryland, it may be said that some Of
the Conservative members hive dotermin.
ed. in case there is any serious attempt to
90 on With the matter, to insist that the
governments of some Of the other States
of the Union be also inquired into. 1t
can be proved beyond cavil that the in
|sqaalityp of representation which is COM
planned of in Maryland is not one-fourth
as great ss in some Of the more Northern
States. In New York, for instance, the
city of New York has of late years given
a Democratic majority ranging from sixty
to seventy thousand, and there are coun-
ties whose aggregate voting population
does not amount to so much, which send
as many or more delegates to the Legis-
lature. In Connecticut the disproportion
is fearful. the ratio of representation as
between the rural districts and large
towns, like New Haven and Hartford, be.
ing as twenty to one in favor of the former.
This very inequality of representation will
give to the Radicals Of New York and
Connecticut two United States Senators
on the 4th Of March next, while the De-
mocrats would have had them had the ra-
ito Of representation been as nearly equal
as in much-abused Maryland"
