FIRE.-We were somewhat startled
to learn that Chas. Cook was agent of
the Lorillard Fire Insurance Company of
New York, whose cash assets are ST.
343,353. Charley proposes to take risks
at as low rates as any frst.class Company,
md will do his best to please. Try him.
Charley was also tried on the sewing
machine last week, at the residences of L.
D. Newell and Capt. E. A. Meacham.
The Singer beat 'em all, and he now
proposes to put it along aside of any num-
Der of sewing machines. 1t will sing or
talk for itself. The factory is 10000
behind its orders, and works night and
day, turning out 1000 per week.
Don't experiment with untried ma
chimes. CHAs. Cook, Agent,
Opposite Firner's Hardware Store.

The Wheat Crop Badly Damaged

Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, rain, rain, rain. Scarcely
an hour, at any one time, all these days,
has the sun been visible from this stand
point. The grass and bushes have not
been dry for three consecutive hours
these five days. Still the sky looks
black and threatening. We fear the end
is not vet.
Thousands Of bushels of wheat will
be ruined and thousands more dam
aged in the St. Croix valley. Hundreds
of acres are still standing in shock, some
of it fairly soaked through and thi ough.
Much of the stacking that was done was
MT done properly, and the wheat so
cared for, will be considerably injured.
Nearly every bushel Of wheat raised in
Pierce county would have graded No.
could it have been garnered week go.
Now we fear there is no grade for it.
After a splendid harvest, fine weather.
and full crOp-thus to have it nearly
ruined, is diseouraging. We have re-
ceived the estimate of several well
posted farmers and wheat buyers that
range the loss in this county at between
$4,000 AMI $25O,OOO- Not over ore
sixth of the wheat has been threshed,
and if it doesn't stop raining soon, the
balance will not be worth threshing.

A Horrible Calamity.

One of the most heart rending acci.
dents ever recorded, occurred in one Of
the coal mines near Plymouth, Pa, on
the 9th inst. 1t was occasioned by a
fire breaking out at the bottom of one oil
the shafts, which, rapidly extending, pre-.
vented the escape of persons in the mine.
los dead bodies were found in a single
chamber. Other lives were lost in trying
to rescue the victims, making the whole
number killed by this accident 112.
Large sums were raised by subscription
for the relief of the bereaved families.

Just row the people of this western por-
tion of the county and Of Calumet

a fever of excitement aoout rail road to

in gettingit. Mr. s. NJ Barrett offers to
put on the iron and the rolling stock on a
road built from any given poin: on the s.
& L. II. Il. TO Appleton, provided the IN
habitants along the line will grade and tie
the road. We think this is an otfei worthy
of favorable consideration and should be
acted on at once In the mean time let
Sheboygan and Manitowoc combine and
extend the Cedarburg route along the lake
shore to Manitowoc Uid Shcboygan.
We clip the above from the Sheboygan
Falls Herald. We arc acquainted with the
business energy aud power OF Mr.. 5. NJ.
Barrett, and believe that he could do all
he offers TO do. We invite him to take the
Job Of putting the iron and rolling stock
on the road to be built from Milwaukee to
Manitowoc, and from Manitowoc to Apple
ton or Green Bay, as the signs Of the times
dictate. The people along this route, will
grade and tie the road. Our committee
left here yesterday morning, aud viii

0 Sullivan and Mr.. Hollister, of New Y ork
hadan interview with the President yes
terday, on matters relating to St Domingo
Judge 0 Sullivan, who has been acquaint-
ed with the officers of the Island for sew
eral years, explained to the President the
condition of the Island; and the desire of
the people for the annexation to the Unit
ed States. The President appeared highly
interested, and asked numerous questions
bearing upon and affecting the scheme of
annexation. 1t seems that when the re-
cent negotiations we're taken up Prest
Bacz called together his ministers and the
Senate and explainded to them what had
taken place between tho Governments, and
asked each of the gentlemen present to
express their views cordially, and as they
rendered to the best interests of the people.
After each had complied with this reques,
they unanimously declared that to accept
the proposition OF the United States would
be highly advantageous to the peace and
prosperity of the Island.

from Milwaukee for Montreal on the l7th,
with a cargo consisting Of $500 bushels Of
wheat and ,536 barrels of -four On the
10th violent N. E. gale forced her to
seek shelter in our harbor. And when headed
into the sea on Lake Huron, she sprung a

The Colonist was built at Sarania in

RESULT OF THE ELECTION Returns,
now nearly complete, from all tho counties
in the state, give Fairehild majority Of
about 5000. AS we are sufficiently dis
gusted with the vote not to be anxious to
study it very closely. We are satisfied with
stating the above round numbers without
going closely into details. We cordially
congratulate Gov. Fairchid on his cleo
ton as, though be may not have been our
first choice, we voted for him.-Green Bay
Advocote.
And we, too, congratulate Gov. Fair
child on his election and regret that we
did not vote for him.
We wonder if Gov. Fa;rchild was too
modest to vote the straight republican
ticket
We thought that Robinson would surely
vote the straight democratic ticket this
time!
But 'the best laid plans of mice and
men aft gang aglee."
