OF which the Ledger of that city says:-
The bank statement rejects the stringency OF all
last week, ana, Notwithstanding the addition OF
the Fourth National to our table, shows decrease
in loans OF $97 2i; loss OF S1063, 295 IN deposits;
Ss52 o9a in legal tenders, and s2l,6il in specie.
There was an increase in circulation Of si50,476.
These figures 1t Is hoped show the crisis OF the srn-
gency. The banking business has been large, and
shows an increase of ciearings OF $7l4.7S3. The
lower denominations OF currency continue scarce,
causing some Inconvenience at bank.

TIE STATE TICKET.


There is evidently going to be no lack
Of candidates before ont next State Con-
yention. The following are few of
those We Lave heard most prominently
mentioned in connection with the var =
ious nominations then to be made:
For Governor, Hon A. II. Thompson,
Atty Gen G. r. Gill, Hon VIM. E
Smith, Sen. Van Wyck, of Kenosha a,
Ex-Goy. Solomon and Hon. David At
wood-all good and able men-are un-
deTstood to te candidates
For Lieut.. Governor we have heard
the names of Hon T. G. Pound, Sen. w.
J. Copp of Pierce Co. II. D. Barron,
ex-Speaker Field and E. L. Brown of
Waupaca mentioned.
The aspirants for the Office of Secretary
of State are quite numerous. Gen. Allen,
Col. E. A. Spencer and ex-Sen. Vim. A.
Lawrence of GAINESVILLE are among these
who are willing to serve the State IN that
capacity.
The Office Of State Treasurer seems to
be neglected to greater extent than any
other, as no sperson is prominently men
toned in connection with it, except Hon.
VIM. h. Smith who viii probably be re-
nominated unless he receives the nomina-
ton for Governor. In that case, however
DO doubt some patriot can be prevailed
upon to accept the position
Hon. J. NJ. Bingham; Col. J. q. Spoon
er, the present assistant, Hon. John
r. Bennett aud Hon NJ. II Sessions Of
Waupaca are prominent candidates for
the Office of Attorney General
The Office of State Prison Commission
er is probably the most lucrative one up.
on the list but we know of only two as
pirants Henry Cordier, the pres.
ent commissioner, and Capt. S. j. NJ.
Putnam, the ex-Proyost Marshal of this
District. $50 5sn r ae
1t is said that J c.. McMynn and
President Chadbourne of the State Univer-
slty will be candidates for the Office of
School Superintendent, but the probabil-
tiles are thatthe present Superintendent,
Hon. A j. Craig, will be re-nominated.
1t is quite likely that other candidates
may be brought out and develop smuoh
strength as those already named, but
enough are already before the public to
insure lively contest at the Convention

4 New SMALL Pox REMEDY.-A
prominent citizen Of Milwaukee sends
the News the annexed extract from
California paper, with the remark that if
it will do no good it will do no harm:
herewith append receipt which has
been used, to my knowledge, in hun
dreds of cases. 1t Will prevent or cure
the smallpox though the pittings are
filing. When Jenner discovered cow
pox IN England the world of science
hurled an avalanche of fame upon his
head, but when the most scientific school
Of medicine in the world-that Of Paris
published this recipe as panacca for
small poX, 1t passed unheeded Itis as
unfailing as fate, and conquers in every
instance. 1t is harmless when taken by
a well person. 1t will cure scarlet fever
Here is the receipt as | have used it,
and cured my children of scarlet fever;
here it IS as | use to cure small pox.
When learned physicians said The patient
must die, 1t cured: Sulphate of zinc one
grain; fox glove (digitalis,) one grain;
bali tcaapoonful Of sugar; mix with two
tcaspoonfus Of water, When thoroughly
mixed add four ounces Of water. Take u
tea6poonful every hour. Fit ,er disease
will disappear IN twelve hours. For a
child smaller doses, according to age. If
counties would compel their physicians
TO use this, there would be no need of
pest-houses If you value advice and
experience, use his recipe tor that ter
ribIo disease.

HOTEL CORNER The excitement of
the season at Milwaukee is the recent at.
tempt Of the proprietors of the Planking-
ton and Kirby Hotels to rent the New
hall House for the purpose of closing it
up This enterprise created a tremen-
dous excitement among business men,
and the condemnation of the scheme was
50 general and strong that the idea was
given up. But there are too many ho-
tells in Milwaukee and one must be sacri-
hced-probably the Kirby House. It
seems the MARI ct was supplied before he
Planklngton was built.

ABOUT OFF OXEN

In preparing to break pair of oxen
"to the yoke" if one of them is more
stupid, or more obstinate, or more intract-
able than the other, he is put upon the
right or off" side, while the other is
placed upon the "nigh" SIDE and receives
the greater part of the training. The re-
suit generally is that the "otf OK" remains
half-tamed animal, extremely uncertain
and very li9ble to bolt at any time, with
out moments warning, and upon the
least provocation. IF by necessity or ac
cldent the driver steps around upon his
side, the chances are that he will plunge
reekIes5ly against his mate, crowding him
out of the road, off a bridge perhaps, Or
down bank, or, perhaps he founders
around, gets over the tongue, turns the
yoke, or: happily, falls down and breaks
his good-for-nothing neck 1t is this
unreliability of the "of OK. and his apt
ness to 'take tantrum" that ordinari-
" makes driving cattle most uncertain
and temper trying business.
But these characteristics of disposition
and couduct are not confined wholly to
four footed creatures, for in nearly ev-
cry community we find persons who,
from their crochety, captious, contrary"
and tickle character are styled ''of oxen"
At the least slight, fancied or real, Or
for any other triaing cause, our human
lott OK" flies the track. Perhaps he is
member of some society or church or po-
litlcal party; in either case it is more
trouble to keep him straight and we'll
satisfied than a hundred other persons,
and far more than he is worth to either
church, society OF party. He is always,
man of small caiibre-he runs on a
narrow gauge no one who understands
him respects him, and he is thoroughly
despi6ed by all truly sensible persons.
Yet he is foolish enough to consider his
eccenlrcity as praiseworthy, and regards
II compliment to be called an soft
OK" He thinks he is Independent"
Wills really be is the most serVile person
in The community-alWays "taking his
cue from the actions and opinions of 9th.
ers. The influence Of such persons
amounts to but very little for either good
or evil, but, ike the flies on Lutte Taylor's
pony-''they were not SO big as the pony
but they bothered him"-they
succeed in making themselves very disa-
greeabIe to all with whom they are as
ISOLATED in the various relations of life.

advice: 'Be sure of one thing whatever
you have to sell, there are many people

rather than Of another. When buyers are
