BoNBs FOR VINEs.-The earthly phos.
pilates contained in bone form an inval.
uabls- food for the vine. We were forci.
bly, reminded Of this on entering the
gx'mta of a German gentleman near
Monte Video, whose vines exhibited ex.
traordinary 1uxuriance and fruit-bearipg
power. He had buried many tons Of
bones, fresh from Che slaughter houses,
In the prepared beds, at three feet below
the surface, and, having accidentally
exposed a portion Of the bed some years
afterwards, it was found that the fine
hlaments of the roots had embraced, and
even penetrated. the substance of the
bona, now quite softened. This may be
worth the consideration of those who
have. never tried it. ..4 3D.. ,.... :.

TnE convention which assembled at
Prairie du Chen last fall for the pur-
pose Of organizing the advocates of the
enterprise OF making nayisable streams
OF the Fox and Wisconsin rivers, is
called Y its President, Gov Merrill, of
Iowa, to re-assemble at Portage City, on

ors Of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri
and Iowa, unite in an earnest appeal to
the people of their respective states If
respective Of location or business pur-
suits, to attend the convention.
Conlcssing a degree of ignorance with
relation to the feasibility Of the enter
prise, We perhaps would not be justified
III taking a very decided stand either in
favor of or against it, and shall refrain
from doing so until we have become
more conyersant with the subject
There IS an apparent cropping out of
scheme, To secure from the national
government large grant of land rs a
means toward the Improvement contem>
plated, which tends to create mistrust
that there may be some private speeula-
ton connected with the public better
ment 1t is no uncommon thing, every
body knows, for land grants to be mis-
applied and munificent donations, in
tended TO benefit communities, TO be di~
verted to the pockets of shrewd specu-
lators. Hence we are justified in being
suspicious Of any measure that can pos
siLlv so result That the Fox and
Wisconsin Improvement is a great ma
tional route that needs Improvement,
may be very clear, but let us have assur-
nuce that the Fox and Wisconsin Cana
farce will not be re-enacted, before We
ask the government for grant of severn
thousand acres of land

Almost without opposition this gentle
man has been renominated by the Re-
puhlicans of the Northern Assembly
District, as their candidate for Member
OF Assembly.
The action of our North District
friends testifes to their wisdom. Mr.,
Rowe represented his District last win
ter in manner that did credit to him
self, and secured the respect and conf
dence of his constituents. Corrur ton
and trickery cannot exist in peace where
he can assail them. He is man OF
large, liberal ideas, y shrewd, practical
man, possessed of fund Of general in
telligence invaluable in legislator. He
is perhaps as widely known as any man
in his district, ard has the elements OF
popularity which viii secure his election,
Notwithstanding the Democratic procliy-
tiles of his constituents.

sTHE CONVENTION.

As viii be seen by minutes published
elsewhere in our paper to day, there was
n respectable attendance at the conyen-
ton on Wednesday. General good feel
ing prevailed, and no action of that body
gave offence to a single member, to our
knowledge The resolution proposing a
change Of basis Of representation, which
will be found in the proceedings, prom
ised TO elicit some discussion, which
was cut off, however, by the motion to
Law on the table The proposition by
MIR. G. ". Bliss, that delegates admitted
from unrepresented towns should cast
but one vote each, instead of the full
votes Of their respective towns, brought
a number of delegates to their feet, and
views on both sides were exchanged In
brief remarkswith some spirit. Though
10th these measures were defeated by
large majorities, the just principle OF them
couldbut be acknowledged by all unpre-
jadiced minds. Especially the position
taken by Mr. Bliss, we regard as eminent
IL sound, and we hope in future conven-
tions it may prevail. Its adoption, we
believe, would result in good in two par
ticulars. First, it would abolish the
abused rule of one or two men always
happening in " to cast f'e or ten votes
without authority, yet would not exclude
worthy men from an opportunity of ex-
though their towns had fai ed to send
delegates SECOND, it would be saying
to towns, if you wish to be represents
ed, YOU must take sufficient interest in
the matter to send delegates, and not
rely upon one man going to Dodgeville,
ind casting the vote of five or ten. :
tlor this matter again.
OF the six delegates elected to repre-
sent tie county in the State Convention
next Tuesday, 1t is understood that three
favor Senator VAN WYoKE for Governor,
enc Gen. FAIEcHILD, one Col. ATWOOD,
end the other unknown, but certainly
one oI the iHIcc HdHeu ING toiitICdi
outlook from Jour standpoint indicates
that when the final contest shall come,
the supporters of ATWOOD, FAIRcHILD
and VAN WYcKE, will be likely to unite
upon one Of the three against all others,
Ii we are correct in this idea it is unim-
Iortant which of these candidates our
delegates give first choice. The nomi-
nation Of either would be cordially en-
dorsed by the Republicans of the county.

AFTER the Convention had adjourned
last Wednesday, we devoted a few hours
to strolling about the County Seat, visit
ing old friends and forming new &C.
quaintances, etc.
The village just now is like all others,
in partial topper SO far as concerns
trade, but we noticed several new build
ings in various stages of erection, and
