TIE HOOK AND LADDER CoNIEsT.-The in
terest manifested in the 6rcman's parade has
apparently centered on the steam and hand
engines, and comparatively few have noticed
the programme to be observed by the two
hook and ladder companies. They will run
distance of one hundred and fifty yards, dis
mantine the entire truck, and raise ladder at
the northeast angle Of Messrs. Crane, Boyl-
ston g. Co.'s store. A member of the company
will ascend and descend the ladder, which will
then be replaced md adjusted on the truck.
The point of the performance will consist in
the celerty of all OF the movements, as the
prize is to be awarded to that company which
excals in this respect.

A meeting of the congregation Of this church
was held yesterday afternoon, to consider The
question Of extending the church building.
After an earnest debate, the motion of the
committee, recommending the extension, was

and considerable interest manifested in the
arb;ect. The church will now be extended
thirty feet to the east, which will add consid-
arable to the area and be an improvement on
the nresent structure.

From the Racine Journal.

RACINE, Dec. Goth, 1862
Col. UTLEY, p. M:-The ladies of RAJ
cine are under many obligations to you for
the manner in which you protect them in
their efforts to get into the Post Office in
the evening. There is even more that
should be done. Loafers should be sent
somewhere else to DO their smoking.
MANY LADIES. 3
In answer to the above, we have TO say
that we have undertak en- to accommodate
the public by holding the office open to a
very late hour in the evening, much long
er than we are under any obligations to
do 1t is painful necessity we have to
perform, when we say that a large num-
Der of young men seem to have miscon-
strued our object in doing so; their acts
at least, all tend to show that they suppose
our motive is simply to give them place
to LOAF AND SMOKE, without any regard
to the inconvenience it may cause their
mothers, sisters, and perhaps swcethearst
though young man who smokes is not
emit tied to such luxury. Now, we
have to say to those young men in all
kindness,lthe Post Office was not intended
for smoking car. The Post Office be-
longs to the entire population OF the city,
and therefore no set of individuals have
"a right to appropriate large share of it
and hold on to it evening, after evening
to the exclusion Of others. ~
We are confident that the young men
are not aware of the annoyance they are
cause, and we trust they will not give
any more trouble on this head. We will
take this occasion to say to all that the mail
does not arrive until after p. NJ, there
fere it is not necessary to come to the of
flee until that hour for the evening mail
We hope our citizen will take the right
view Of this matter, and not compel us to
resort to more stringent means, for we are
determined that it shall not be said by
any lady in Racine, that she is afraid to
go the Post Office in the evening. The
Post Office is no longer playground for
boys. T. nj. "As is. : (
We would inquire in this connection, if
it would not be possible for the ladies of
Kenosha to prevail upon our Post Master
to remove the Nuisance of Smoking from
the Post Office? 1t is certainly within
the power, and we believe it to be the
duty of the Post Master to require Loaf
ers and Smokers to refrain from Loafing
and Smoking in the Post Office.

TO YOUNG MEN.--This country is being cross!
ed with numerous railroads. reaching from every
direction to Sioux City, Iowa. Six railroads will
be completed to this city within one year. One is
already In operation, connecting us with Chicago
and the y. p Railroad, and two more will be COM
pleted before spring, connecting us with Dubuque
and McGregor, direct. Three more will be COM
pleted within year. connecting Us direct with st.
Paul, Mimi, Yanktown, Dakota, and Columbus,
Neb., on the U. P. Railroad. The Missouri River
gives rs the Mountain trade. Thus will be seen
that no section of country offers such unprecedent-
ed advantages for business, speculation and max
ing fortune. For the country Is being populated,
and towns and cities are being built, and fortunes
made almost beyond belief Every man who takes
homestead now, will have railroad market at
his own door. And any enterprising young man,
with small capital can establish himself in per-
manent and paying business If he selects the right

The, friends and fellow citizens of Gov

IResolve THAT in the past career of Gov

ascitizen and social friend be. has commanded
our highest respect and admiration; as pub
lie officer none has been more faithful, thor
oHgh and efficient; as a lawyer his industry,
fidelity and ability have secured him fore
most position, and as private citizen he has
attained prominence from which envy alone
can attempt to detraet and we bespeak for
him in his new home that high consideration
which pre-eminent integrity, manl1ness and
ability command. NaqIsse-

AS to high-heeled shoes for ladies, a
French physician states that this fashion
has produced distinct diseases, not only
OF the distorted but of the body. AS the
frame is thrown permanently into an I'M
natural position, it affects the spine, and as
it is question of balancing, nervous irrita-
ton sometimes occurs. You see by the ex-
preston ofthe face how much a woman
suffers who has walked about or even stood
in high-heeled boots. Besides, we have
accidents from falls very frequently.

There have been twenty-five counter
felt coupons of the 1910 bonds of March
l, 1866, paid at the Treasury Department
1t will be remembered thata plate of this
denomination was stolen from the Gov
eminent, and a careful examination of the
coupons paid shows that the numbers
were not only duplicates, but duplicates
and quadruplicates. Since the discovery
was made, the greatest care has been ex-
ercised by the treasury officials, and the
fraud checked.

One of the first and mr.

One of the first and most important
measure of the legislation that several
members Of Congress will try to get
through is a bill to prevent persons who
contest seats from drawing pay from the
public Treasury AS the law now is any
man who is defeated at an election can
trump up charges on which to contest the
seat, and then come here and spend the
winter, free of expenses. There will be
over thirty cases this winter, and the cost
to the Government will be over 800, 900.

by James K. Paulding, which appears in
another column of the TELEGRAPH.
We also refer to the sold gentleman in
Newport, r. l., who rises early and picks
bouquet OF flowers and waiting at the
gate till the first girl passes, he presents
| it to her. The old gentleman who does
this, and has done it for many years,
must have too warm a heart and his
purpose be too noble and good, to be in
the Winter Of life, and we think is good
argument against this idea of Early at
the Gate" Again, there is much that
might, in one sense, De called the
soint6r Of 1ite, in middle and young life;
For the truth of this, and as an argument
against old age being considered the
s0intes' Of 1ife, we refer to the beautiful
poem, /" In the Twilight" by. Mrs.
Mcfarland Richardson, which will be
found in the same column with the
sold Mans Blessing Surely this
young mother in middle life, and her
young children, must have much of the
aciptsr Of lits-much more THAI the wri-
ter of the Old Mans Blessing" or the
old gentleman of Early at the Gate"
With the exception of the idea that
old age is the aoiaster Of life we consider
f" Early at the Gate" beautiful and sub
lime in conception, and, generally, we'll
executed artisticafly. And, when Mrs.
Frank, Leland has completed it to her
own satisfaction, we trust it will be free
from imperfection. $40
| Our object in laying the imperfections
of Early at the Gate to Frank Leland s
printing rather than Mrs. Leland com
posing, was two-fold. We feared that,
five laid the imperfections to her., she
might feel hurt, and that her womanly
modesty might prevent a reply. And
we felt sure, if we laid the blame upon
Frank Leland, the writer of EARLY at
the Gate was too womanly o woman to
allow her husband, or even Frank
Leland, to bear the, burden of my her
own errors of insufficient personal criti-
cism and care before allowing thoughts
to go to print. elg 7l5dl III ii Asar svat 3
This time we lay a little blame to
Frank Leland in good faith, and we ask
Mrs Frank Leland to let him bear it Is
his own burden. In publishing from the
Kenosha TELEGRAPH, Our Home Poets
for which he has our thanks, he left out
the second, third and last paragraphs
without Indicating where he, had left
them out. And in the sentence, "In
the second line of the second verse brush
ing being accented on the first syllable
spoils or changes the verse of the1 first
two syllables of the line" he left out
the three words we have here included
within brackets. This omission was
accidental, but it spoiled the sense OF
the sentence, In criticism and poetry q
very little omission or change sometimes
materially changes the sense, or entirely
destroys it. Frank Leland is as little tc
be blamed, however, in this respect, per
haps, as any other publisher or compost
tor. And we speak Of it, only with the
view of putting all on their guard against
4 it.
