T.enton Prairie is one of the finest
sections in Pierce county. When We
were there, last week, the wheat was
looking finely and the rye was ready for
harvest. Few thriftier fields Of corn can
be found in the Northwest than we saw
in Trenton. The quick, light soil Of that
section is we'll adapted to corn, and the
cold wet weather during the early part
of the season did not seriously check its
growth.

find published in the Portage Register.
The poor fellow evidently desired to rem.
der satisfaction:
Whereas, my wife Henrietta Rezkl,
having left my bed and board on the 9Th OF
March last without cause or provocation.
now, therefore, this is to notify the said
Henrietta that unless she returns, to share
my lot through life in accordance with
the hymenial vow, within month from
this date, it will be my melancholy duty
to bid her farewell forever. By comply.
ing with the above request and returning
within the time specified. the past will
eheerfuly be forgotten and the future be
made as bright with satisfaction as a low
ing husband in advanced years can posi-
bly, contribute to that end.

ii Protest.

10 be able to swim is not only de-
slrable accomplishment, but is in itself
one of the most healthful of exercises;
and to be allowed the privilege of exer
clslng such an accomplishment by bath
ing in the clear, pure waters of the St.
Croix, is certainly a right not to be over
looked. We should Judge that the
juvenile portion of our male community
entertained about the same opinion, for
during these sultrs days the river at the
foot of Orange street is generally filled
from rosy dawn to dewy eve" with
urchins who doubtless believe with yen-
geance that cleanliness is next to godli-
ness. But they abuse their freedom
are becoming too ishy in their habits
and display themselves in all their
naturalness with too great looseness.
Boys, don't do SO any more! If you
must "ablute," wait till night draws her
sable mantle ever your nakedness. Dis
plays of unattired personality are all
well enough at fashionable balls and on
the stage, but with immodest boys the
thing is Inadmissible."

While VIC were in Rush River valley
last week, we saw Mr.. JAMES WALsIHG-
HAM and from him obtained the follow
in9 bit Of railroad news. He was cred
IDLY informed, while at Durand some
time since, that parties were engaged in
re surveying the original route of the
West Wisconsin Railway, from Black
River Fails to Durand. and were expect
ed to arrive in the latter place in few
days. If this be true, il seems that the
company arc not settled as to the exact
route the West Wisconsin will take to
reach St. Paul-whether by wav Of
Prescott, or by way of Hudson. If the
directors are now in doubt which course
to pursue. as the above rumor would
seem to indicat q, we have no fear of the
result, for the natural advantages pos
sessed by the old survey are too impor.
tant and too obvious to ignored by them.
When it comes down to distance, and ex
pense of grading and bridging, no other
route can compete with that surveyed
through Pierce county and crossing the
st. Croix river at Prescott. The more
we think of this. the more we feel like
making little bet. Perhaps some Jolly
editor at Hudson would like to arbitrate
a new hat on the destination of the West
Wisconsin railroad; if SO we are on it.
No objections as TO the politics of the
hat.
