THANKs.-John Deery, Esq, of Dubu-
que, St. Louis and all along the River
where business calls him, does us the
honor to mail to this Office two valuable
pamphlets of 100 pages each, printed in
Richmond, Virginia, and designed to show
the Importance of water communication
on the part Of the Northwest ria the Ohio
river, to the Atlantic. Not having time
to look them over as carefully as they
merit, we hand them over to our. friend
Hon. w. [. GILcuRIsT, gentleman who
is much interested in such matters, and
one too who, will probably tell the readers
of the TINES the substance of both pan !.
phlets in column or two of matter.
We are under obligation to John Deery,
and beg to tell him we have placed his
valuable presents in hands where their
statistics will be appreciated.

TEXT BooKs.-The teachers and officers
of our public Schools throughout the coun-
ty, should bear in mind the necessity of
having uniformity of text books. The
Lansing Independent District, we believe,
the only one in the county which uses
Sargents' series of school books and this
change has been brought about within the
past year, to the great detriment, we fear,
to our School. MEG lffey's have been the
standard for years, and is now, in every
other District in the county, and with a
few exceptions throughout the State. Some
Of our best instructors, those who have ex-
amined thoroughly, both series, pronounce
emphatically in favor of McGufey's. The
lower series of readers are by nearly all
acknowledged to be superior, and the
higher equal, if not better then why a
change was brought about we hardly can
tell. Pupils coming from the country are
now obliged to make change, at consi-
derable expense, and without any appre-
ciable benefit. We hope return to the Sc
ries of McGuffey's will be made, and
continuance with them until we are posi-
tive of getting better series of reaGers, if
such there are, for our children.
Since writing the above, Mr.. j. II.
Goodrich, the agent for the Eclectic Series
of books, has succeeded in efIecting an ex-
change from Sargents to McGuGey's. We
congratulate the patrons Of our schools on
the exchange.-Lansing Chronicle.

"There is near Bellville, Hendricks
county, a peculiar family, man and wife,
ard six children, three boys and three
girls. The oldest girl is about "a years,
weighs about 200 pounds, is very intel
ligent lady, but we noticed one peculiar
feature not common among the fair sex,
and that was, she had heavy beard Uni
nus the meustache), which is about two
inches long, and Of auburn color. The
beard on the chin Of this lady is the
heaviest. We did not perceive any on her
throat, nothing but regular side. land chin
whiskers. We were informed that her
beard has grown more rapidly during the
past year. The next girl is IL years old,
born blind and an idiot; the next is girl
IA, born blind. The three boys are all
intelligent young men. The parent of
this family is one Of the wealthiest men in

west Of the building formerly occupied by
us, where we shall continue to keep as we
have been doing heretofore (on'y more SOL
everything in the line of FAMILY GRO

"MIsFoRTUNEs NEVER CoAE SINGLE."-
sit never rains but it pours," says an old
maxim, and it is peculiarly true in the
case of that clever old fossil, John A. Dix.
He wrote very mean letter last fall
against Seymour, with the hope of retain
ing his position as minister to France
Grant Flowed the treason, but despised the
traitor Dix was removed and one Of the
most Incompetent men in the nation APP
pointed to his place. Dix then figured up
his butchers bill, and found that Partisan
grapes were intensely sour-that it had
cost him $4,000 more to live in Paris
than he had received in pay from his gov>
ernment; and that while the Washburne
family might learn French, they would
add nothing to the aggregate wealth of
the Elihu branch. The generals troubles
were not ended. The obtaining Of YER
diet against him of $4,000 for falsely i'm
prisoning Daniel ID. Bell, during the war,
may be said to be the last feather that is to
break the camel's back. 'Misfortunes
never come single" Dix is a living evi>
dence Of the fact.

He was bound for Montana, per river, rail,
Missouri river, and Stage, to close up his

is known. Liberality, kindness, and
practical good sense are characteristics

MORE TEkRyToRY.-Gcn. Rosecrans has
negotiated a treaty with Mexico for the
cesson of Sonora and Sinaloa to the United
States for 5000, 900 dollars. These States
contain an area of l23, 467 miles, or are
equal in size to New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, and Indiana. They are described
as valuable agricultural countries, and also
as well adapted to grape growing and silk
culture.
1t begins to look really as though our
manifest destiny was to extend our boun-
daries until this Republic shall embrace
the whole Of North America. If this is to
be the case, let all the people say Amen

CHICAGO Posr.-Chicago is large place;
it is continually on the improve, but we
begin to fear that with all its spread it
will be unable to furnish space for the IL
Vulnerable journals which are developing
about there. The Times swells out, the
Tribune is bed>quilt, the Journal is as
large as a horses blanket, and now the
Evening Post greets the public with face
so enlarged as to remind one of the 'cloud
by day. which covered the Israelites on
their route to the land of Canaan. The
Post is saucy, independent, radical paper,
not suited to our tastes in many respects,
but It is so impudent toward extensive
radicalsm that we like it. Its weekly is
only $3.50, and it boasts more reading
matter than any evening paper in the
world. Call on US and see it.

PoMERoY, of the La Crosse and New
York Democrats, speaks well of a personal
friend Of ours who lives at Black River
Falls, and edits the Badger Banner. We
know j. A. personally, got his cookbook
ing face on a Photographic card, and we
naturally like him. We indorse every
line of Bricks" commentator, and hope
CAP won't be mad at us for the liberty we
take. Pomeroy calls Watrous the best
local editor in Wisconsin, and we think he
is right. We clip this passage from the
well-deserved commentator -
j. A. Watrous, editor of the Banner,
is the best and spiciest local editor in the
State OF Wisconsin |; a temperance man
and gentleman. We do not like his
politics, that is, we do not hold the s. me
political views he does /; but he has the
same right to his opinion we have to ours,
and no man has right to find fault with
him for the opinions he may hold.

Fire At Ossian.
On Sunday night, about eleven o'clock,
lightning played most destructive tune
upon the wires at Ossian. Electricity came
into the depot telegraph Office and set it
on FIRE through the paper used on the
''masheen." A providential rain with the
lightning saved the town from almost en-
tire destruction. The total loss is esti-
mated at Sc, 900 to $1,000. Mr.. McGinty
reports to us on general principles the fol-
lowing losses -
Warehouse rented by W. w. Mcnamara,
of North McGregor, and Macs 500 bus.
of wheat.
Bassett, Hunting & Co.'s warehouse
and 600 bushels Of wheat.
Patrick Lynch's warehouse and 500
bushels. y7 saeat f.a
Gilchrist's warehouse with 1900 bushels.
Sawyer's warehouse with GEO bushels.
The Insurance on the whole property
was quite small.
Since the above was in type, Geo.
Crooke, Esq, hands US the following.
About l.. o'clock on Sunday night, the
II. II. depot at Ossian, and six nei ghboring
warehouses, with most of their contents,
were destroyed by fire. The amount of
damage is estimated at $4,000. How the
fire originated, is not certainly known. 1t
broke out in the ticket Office of the r. r..
Co. There was heavy thunder storm at
the time, and the prevailing theory is,
that the electric fluid was the cause, either
by direct stroke to the building, or by
communication through the telegraphic
apparatus, which was in the same Office.
Further investigation may ascertain the
cause more definitely. The amount of
freights and produce lost, is comparatively
light. AS near as we can learn, the dam
ages are divided about as follows:
Railway Co. depot building and contents, 81 900
Gilchrist I Co. warehouse and contents, 1900
Mr.. Sawyer :" 1900
P. Lynch $500
