The farmers of Northern and Western
Wisconsin seem to be disguised on the
whole with hop-raising, They think it
would have been better if they had never
heard of hops. The farmers who made so
largely from hop culture during the year
1866 and 1867 are as severe as those who
engaged in it this season just in time to
see the crop failure and the article a
drug in the market. Previous profits have
been already spent in lighthouses, hop-polss
and various improyements.~ ~,-----.

full men, when in his prime, in the Unit

were known and acknowledged from
Pittsburg to New Orleans. He has lift
ed shaft weighing 1 ,647 pounds, and
carried across the deck of his steamer an
anchor which weighed 1,242 pounds.
On one occasion, in New Orleans, he had
a personal renconter with the pirate La.
fitte, and, unarmed, whipped and elected
him from ball room. The incidents OF
his great force of will and power of COM
mand would fill volume. He was

gamblers that then infested the Missis-

WoMEN's SUFFRAGE CoNyENTIoN.-
The Women's Suffrage Convention met
at Cincinnati on the 10th, adopted con-
stitution, and elected as officers Mrs.
Tracy Cutter, President; Mrs. Langly,
Vice President; Mrs. IL. Donney, Rec.
Sec; Mrs. NJ. Cole, Cor Sec Follow
ing is a synopsis of the doings of the
meeting
Their resolutions quote the Declara-
tion of Independence, about the Govern
ment deriving its just powers from the
consent of the governed; that taxation
without representation is tyranny, and
declare that suffrage under our system
of government is an inalienable right of
every human being capable of rational
choice; that the denial of franchise to
women is contrary to the genius of our
institutions /; that women have interests
as wives, mothers and widows. which in
terests should be represented directly in
the Government; that women, as a class,
have peculiar mental and moral charac-
teristics, and their votes therefore would
be favorable to peace, purity, temperance,
economy, ligion, bencvolcnce and pub
lie order. They invoke the cooperation
of everybody, irrespective of party, creed
color or nationality, in securing amend
ments to State and Federal Constitutions
conferring suffrage on women. They de-
clare that the ballot means bread for the
working women. They sympathize with
the working classes of the country in
their struggle against the encroachments
of capital. aud demand the ballot for the
daughters of toll, as the only means of
obtaining equal pay for equal work.
They recommend the friends of woman
suffrage to organize in every township
and ward, to create and concentrate po-
litical sentiment in favor of woman suf-
frage.

THE QUESTION OF PARISH RECORDER IN
CoURr.-On Monday last this case was
brought before Judge Porter, in chambers,
on an exception filed by Messrs. Fl. L. Gar
land and John E. King, attorneys Of Mr..
Yves D'avy, the Recorder elected by the

point. The suit was dismissed, and the
present incumbent retained. The case
goes to the Supreme Court for decision
in September.
