The custom of celebrating the 1ourth
by making big speeches, marching
about town after base drum and flying
banners, eating ice-cream and molasses
ginger bread, drinking warm lemonade,
&C., was altogether too Anticipated for
this town, and consequently, our citizens
didn't demonstrate their patriotic emo
tons in any such old fogy manner at all.
Most of us stayed at home, kept very still
barely talking above whisper. and
those who perambuated our streets made
as little noise as possible. Every thing
about town was peaceful and serene, and
quiet reigned within the city Limits =
Somebody fired off the big gun a few
times; but it produced no serious com
motion among our worthy burghers -
They phiosophicaIIy considered it an
infction that must be borne 10 please
the rising generation, and instill into
their young minds patriotic ideas of the
great and glorious day we SO love to eel
citrate.
A party went out pic-nicing dur
ing the day, n; d we suppose, enjoyed
themselves as pic nicers always do. AT
least We have heard nothing to the con.
trary.
A good many of the young folks slept
in the forenoon and went into training in
the afternoon to prepare themselves for
the grand dance in the evening at GEO.
DILL's new barr. Barring the want OF
sufficient music, (which was una
voidable, as musicians from abroad fail
ed to connecD the dance was a very
enjoyable affair. The room was well
lighted and tastefuAy decorated with
evergreens, About one hundred couple
were present; but tue spacious floor was
not crowded, and there was always room
for "one more couple this way" The
festivities were kept up until late hour;
when the ''boys went homo with the
gals" and the GLORIOUS Fourth" was
over.

The Crops In WISCONSIN.

Crops Of all kinds throughout the
eastern, southern and central parts of the
state present but trihing difference
of appearance in point of forwardness
and vigor from ours in the northwest.
In the southern portion OF the stare, wheat
is little more advanced than in this Sec
ton, but the difference is not so great as is
unusually the case. This is doubtless
because of the heavier rains which have
fallen there. The crop, though late,
will probably be abundant, should not
the rust injure it-several cases of which
we have already heard mentioned. Bar
ley, rye and cats present about the same
appearance that they do in Pierce coun-
ty. Corn is a complete failure. The
farmers do not expect more than half q
crop. Potatoes generally indicate good
yield. We believe the rayages of the
potato bugs are not so extensive in the
southern counties rs with us, although
they are by no means allowing themselves
10 be forgotten. BY being ever watch
full and diligent. two or three persons can
keep patch" Of four or five acres clear
Of the pests.
Hops are looking finely! 1t is esti-
mated that in Sank county (the great
hop growing regiOn). only one-fiith of
the space is being cultivated that there
was last year. This small proportion is
being worked by owners who have faith
to believe that should the lice cease their
ravages, good price may be obtained
for hops-which is certainly very rea-
sonabie belief. But, for every hop, there
are 10y close computation) about l7l4
lice, which, TO say the least. makes the
crop very uncertain one to raise. Last
years hops, in the eastern markets, are
now worth to western producers about
cents per pOund-Oat Of pocket!

Celebration at Ellsworth.

We learn that the good people at the
county scat observed the Nations Birth
day" and were by no means behind their
neighbors in getting up those little dem
onstrations which are fitting and proper
for ''ihe day we celebrate. " The boys
inGulged in lively game of ball a part
of the day, and brought out their finely
equipped and well disciplined Ku-KIux
Khan to be seen and admired of men,
women and children. 1t is said that
their grotesque and ridiculous appear
ance was enough to provoke hearty
laugh from the most stoical spectator
In the evening about sixty couple joined
in the May dance, at PARKEn's Hotel
and partook of bountifu supper. Mr..
PARKER spared no efforts to promote the
enjoyment of his guests, aud if he re-
ceived as many greenbacks as be did

ward justly due him.

Curious Case OF Insanity and Inc endf-
arism.

We learn from our old townsmen,
THos. DICKINSON, that the residence of
Mr.. FLEcINsTINE, at Faribault, Mimi,
was burned by an insane man residing
with him. This person, in bis insanity,
imagined that little dog, belonging to
Mr.. FLEoINsrIEE, was mad and would
have to be burned; so he bundled the
dog up in bis bed and set it on fire, and /.
during the excitement attending the dis
covery of the fire, ran out of the burn
ing house, jumped into creek near by
and drowned himself.
But circumstance which makes the
fire more noteworthy by the citizens of
Prescott is the fact that though Mr..
FLEcKINsTINE's dwelling joined on to
his brewery, and, in fact, was under the
same roof; yet, by the aid of one of D.
l.. Jaques Fire Engines, manufactured
by NJ. L. Dill, of this town) which Mr.
DICKINSON had there, they were enabled,
not only to save the brewery, (the roof
of the house burning off completely
but also, barn which was within 90
feet OF tho house.
We are glad to learn this, as it proves
the engines to be all they have been rep
resented, and of great importance in
case of fire. 1t would be we'll for our
City Fathers to purchase few of the
engines, as, in a wooden town like ours,
fire is likely to occur at any time, and,
with present facilities, there would be no
means of stopping it in the least.

convention, we forwarded a condensed
account of the proceedings at the annual

Laid the little darling's head
Very tenderly the ringlets
On the snowy pillow spread.

With some dewy buds between,

Where the roses once had been.
Years may come and go. yet often,
Whe th- solemn dark is spread,
On her fsithu breast the mother
Feels he baby's golden head;
And her arms stretch wildly, blindy,
Toward the place sweet and zone,
Where the little darling sleepeth.
With the roses over blown.

The Springfield Republican publishes
he following: There are lots Of nice girls
in Springfield, as everybody knows, but
few of them probably ever expect to
marry a king with small k) or even
an ex king. This rare good fortune,
however, has befallen Springfield girl
Louise Hensler, the singer. Many of
our oldest residents will remember her.
She was the daughter of a poor German
mechanic, who lived here, and, with her
sister, used to sing 10 the South church
choir as long ago as 1850. Although
then quite young, she possessed remark
ably fine voice, and was made a great
pet of by the South church people, who
aided her in beginning her musical edu
cation. In 1858 she made a successful
debut in Boston. and finding that she
had a fortune in her voice, went to Eu-
rope some time after for study. While
she acquired there no such dazzling rep
utation as some later prima donnas from
this country have done, she took high
rank as a singer. And now we hear
the news of the morganatic marriage of
the ex-kiug of Portugal, Don Fernando,
with this same Louise Hensler, instead
of with Fanny Elssler. the dancer, as the
first report said. Ii is stated that Louise
is now "about 80" but the qualification
must refe. to the shady side of that
figure. What has become of her sister,
who was also quite singer, we can
not say. Their father died several years
ago.
