Don't Move Your Families West. "

Every season, and especially the
preaent there is rush for the West,
ard almost daily we see the mon who
are apparently doing very well, pull
ing up stakes, selling out, and trying
q mower country.
they Dc not seem TO know that
timos are light all over the country,
and where one will succeed in doing
better, ten will find themselves out
both time and money. Hon. L l..
Browne, who has been to Kansas,
closes letter to the Waupaca
Republican, as follows:
''In conclusion my opinion is that
u man OF little or no means had bet
ter remain here. Any man with n
family can support them by his labor
IN this State and in this locality
easier by far than in Kansas-that
mon established in business, who are
making o comfortable living with lit
tie effort, had better give up thoughts
OF emigra ting unless considerations
of health induce them to make a
change. A poor man can do better
here, and business men of all kinds
can do az we'll by the time they
would get located and established
there. ANY farmer who, by the sale
of his farm, could raise say from
81 500 to $4,000, win take great
risk upon himself to sell out and
locate in Kansas. By the time he
gets settled he will find it has taken
considerable of his money, if his
land costs bin only So per acre, by
the time he gets it fenced and broken
and anything like comfortable
house on it, that he has expended
enough to buy o very good farm in
Wisconsin,. And after that, suppose
the country for any reason -
droughts or anything else-does not
produce well, what then He will
find too late that he has fritted away
comfortable home; and if his
health is good and his heart courage
Gus, will commence life anew. In
the case of young men il is entirely
different; it costs little for them to

excitement is over, after all questions
relating TO healthfulness of climate
and productiveness OF the country

him a farin in Kansas at second
hand, and do Just as we'll as to pur-
chase now. Everything is up now
to the highest pitch of excitement
There will be plenty of unimproved
lands in Kansas twenty years hence

within three years one can buy
plenty of improved farms at cost
of S. per acre, with cost of improve

Revising the Bible-A General Invita-
ton 10 all Churches and Sects to
Assist in the Work.
Yror the london rir,o.. Irno4


The arrangements made by the
Committee Of the Convocation of
Canterbury for tho revision of the
authorized version OF the Scriptures
seem to be exceedingly wise. There
are to be two companies; one for
the revision of the Old Testament,
which is TO begin work on The Pen
tateuch aud one for the revision of
the New Testament, which is to be-
gin work on the three Synoptic
Gospels. The Old Testament Com
pany, consisting of the Bishops of
st. David's, Llandaff, Ely, Lincoln,
and Bath and Wells, with four schol-
ars from the Lower House, is to
invite a number of scholars Of all
opinions, churches and sects-rang-
ing from DR.. Pusey to DIR. Davidson
to Join it. The New Testament Com
pany, consisting of the Bishops of
Winchester, Gloucester and Bristol,
and Salisbury, with the Deans of
Canterbury and Westminster, and
Canon Blakesley, invites similar
dCCcSslOu W lIb nun DtFs from all
theological schools from Roman
Catholics (for DIR. Newman is invited
TO Unitarians, who are represented
by learned biblical scholar, the
Rev. G. Vance Smith. The object
to be aimed at is to make no altera-
ton that is not really Of import, and
even then TO make it as much as
possible IN the style of our author
lied version, and to make none on
the antiquity of any Ms. reading for
which there is not q decidedly pre-
pc; lerating evidence. The Now
Testament Company is already at
work-the Bishop of Gloucester and
Bristol, who is the soul of it, having
the work really at heart. Companies
constituted as is proposed, if they
can only really agree, should com
mand the confidence of almost all
Englishmen for their alterations so
that we may at least get rid Of all
manifest errors, by all scholars, with
cut undermining the popular reyor-
ence for the Bible.

LONDON, JUNE 17.-The Irish Times
says that Dickens left fortune OF
100000. Six monthly parts of "The
Mystery Of Edwin brood" are fin
ished, and the rest of the story is so
outlined as to leave its completion
easy. 1t is understood, the Times
continues, that Wllkie Collins under
takes the task.
The death Of Dickens has plunged
the nation into mourning. All the
London papers have obituary notices
this morning.
The Times says: "The ordinary
expressions of regret are now cold
and conventional. Millions feel a
personal bereavement. The states
men, Swans and benefactors of the
race, when they die, can leave no
such void they cannot like this
great novelist, have been an inmate

Thar HORSE AND BUGGY. - A
young man calling himself George
Sprague. stranger among us, hired
% horse and buggy at Powers livery
stable on Tuesday last, 20 visit o
uejsbboring village 20 collect some
money claimod to DO due him. His
not returning 81 the appointed time
eScitod the apprehension Of the
livery man and others that lie did
not intend 20 return. ON Thursday
Powers gave chase and trailed the
fellow in p circuitous route through
the west and north parts Of the
county. Here the track was missed
bat on Friday the traveller and con.
veyance were discovered by Hunt OF
potosi concealed in the woods near
the river below the town. The ar
rest ana examination OF the man did
not clearly develope the motives
which induced his action. Whether
no really intended TO steal and ap-
propFiate the property, or was in
dulging in a drunken spree, or
whether the courts and lawyers will
not develOpe insanity as tho cause
Of his action, time will determine.-
The course he pursued wss certainly
a very suspicious one, his stories
were very improbable and his repre-,
sentations made at different points
OF his route were fabulous and fool
ish. The disappearance of scvera
horses in the vicinity about the time
# Spragues departure very natur
ally leads to the belief that o gang
o. horse thieves are operating IN
e@eert through the county.
