The Richardson. Mcfarland stencil is
being again stirred up by the trial Of
Mcfarland, now in progress in New York
No new aud interesting developments
have as yet been made, moro than that
the trial is likely to prove an unmitigated
farce, and TO result in the acquittal of
Mcfarland. The testimony SO far taken
would indicate that Richardson was a
most " designin' young man.

GREEN BAY d. LAKE PEPIS RAILWAY.
AT the annual meeting of this Com
pany, held on Monday last at the Com
pany's office in Green Bay, ths time for
which WAS changed by recen, act of
the Legislature) the following list of
officers were elected for tho ensuing
year:
Directors. Klaus, G. d. Rob
inson, w. j. Abrams. Joshua Whitney,
Henry Ketchum, j s. Featherly, J. Ii i.
EImore, d. NJ. Kelly. Geo. Sommers.
The Board of Directors then met and
elected officers as follows:
REHABILITATION Klaus.
Vice Pres.-D. NJ. Kelly.
Erecutive Committee.--W. J. Abrams,
Henry KetcLum, G. d. Robinson.
.Secretary.-Joshua Whitney.
Ireasurer.-J. II. Elmore.
1t is proper occasion to say, on be
half of this enterprise. that its reorgan
ization places it again practically upon
IFS old projected route-from Fort How
ard westward via New London, instead
of more northerly route; thence run
ming westward, crossing to the Wiscon
sin, Black and Mississippi rivers at such
points as more complete survey and
future developments shall show to be
most available. Perhaps all that can be
said at this time in regard to its Mississ-
ippi terminus is that the Company is
anxious to connect with those points on
that river which have shown desire to
find an outlet at this place.
Nothing definite can be said just at
this time as to what progress is likely to
be made this Spring upon the road
Negotiations are now on foot for material
aid; but it is yet too early to say what
will be the result in that respect Aside
from the actual merits of the enterprise,
the success of these negotiations must
depend TO great extent upon the local
aid pledged by the counties and towns
along the route. AS soon rs practical,
they will be offered an opportunity to
make those pledges Green Bag Adoo-
cate.
With the ST. Croix 81 Superior
and the Vast Wisconsin railroads ter
minating at Prescott; with the Hastings
d Dakota road, which reaches far out
into the rich fields Of the west, demand
ing an outlet through our county; and
with an intelligent, generous people,
ready at all times to forward q worthy
enterprise, is it not easy to determine that
this will be the point which I" future de
velopmeuts shall show to be most avail
able" for the western terminus of the
above mentioned railroads.

SALE OF THE HASTINGS AND DAKOTA
RAILRoAD.-At meeting o; the diroc.
tors and stockholders of the Hastisgs e.
Dakota Railway Company, held ON the
5lh.. inst, the following is one of the
resolutions unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That il is the opinion Of the
directors and stOckh olders of the Has
tings & Dakota Railway Company, and
OF the citizens of Hastings, that the pro-
posed sale of controlling interest IN
said railway 10 the Lake Superior d
Mississippi Railway Company would re-
suit in serious and lasting injury to the
business interests of this city. aud that a
sale TO the Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail
way Company upon just and fair terms
of arrangement for the respective rights
Of all parties concerned, is the decided
preference of this meeting, and is hereby
approved.
kilograms OF later date inform us that
The sale of the road to the Nil. d. St.
Paul company has been effected. If this
be true, and we doubt not that II is, the
road has passed into the right hand. to
further the railroad interests of Prescott.
The Dakota road, TO be worth anything,
must have an eastern connection, and
we have always maintained that the
West Wisconsin, on its way to st. Paul,
would come by way Of Prescott, in order
to mSke that connection and receive the
large freights which the Dakota road
would pour upon it. 1t is plain that
to make It wing read, one of two
things must be done, and in the control
of the rich and powerful company which
now owns the road, it is safe to say, it
will be done. Either an eastern connection
will be formed by the West Wisconsin or
the Nil. d. ST Paul company viii build
one Of its own which it is abundantly
able TO do.
The lumbermen of the Chippewa Val
Icy are beginning to see that it is to their
advantage TO have the West Wisconsin
cross the St. CrOix ut Prescott, which
will be the means of throwing open
another market for their vast stores of
lumber, in the rich prairie region trav-
ersed by the Dakota railway, and they
are bestirring themselves to bring about
this connection so desirable to Minnesota
and so profitable to themselves. Our
railroad prospects were never brighter
The natural advantages of this point are
being recognized more and moro each
succeeding day. The combinations
which are going on among the compa
MES are much in our favor, and must
very soon give US positive knowledge
concerning railroad matters in this local
ity.

The Lecture FfeId---JamIeson VS.

&C., dc.
AT the close Of the interesting and
able lecture Of Mr.. JAMESON, last Thurs
day evening, on "Thomas Paine" the
time given by the lecturer 10 his audi
ence for such questions and remarks up
on the subject of the lecture as may &C.
cur to thom, was promptly occupied by
Rev. Mr.. PACE, a new conner among us,
who has very recently taken charge of
the Presbyterian church in this city. A
few keen, caus.ic remarks were exchang
ed relative to the charges made upon The
clergy during the lecture. which. ELECTED
some applause. Mr.. PRICE finally closed
by accepting Mr.. JAMIEsoN's challenge,
as published in the Lake City Leader,
and arrangements were made on the spot
70 hold public debate in this city on the
question of THE Divinity of the Bi
ble," some time during the present month.
The exact time appointed for the discus
sion will be announced in due season.
On the day following Mr.. JAMESON
was presented with another challenge by
Rev. j d. SEARLEs, coming from Rev.
GEO. G. HADDooK, of Appleton, Wis,
which expressed willingness to meet
Mr.. JAMESON anywhere ia Wisconsin
he might be pleased TO name, and debate
in public the question, Resolved, That
modern spirituaiisn is worthy the conf
dence and support of The people," The
challenge was promptly accepted, and
Mr.. JAMESON designated Prescott as the
place where he would prefer to hold the
discussion. Arrangements have not
been fully made, as yet, for discussion
number two, and it is not expected to
take place till number one is disposed Of.
Rev. HADDocK, the pastor in charg
of the NJ. Z. Church, in Appleton, is
well known as an able and practiced de.
batter. He has given the subject Of
modern spiritualism careful and thor
ough investigation, and is one of the
most determined opponents of that belief
to be found in the Northwest.
Mr.. JAMESON, his opponent, is lee
turer by profession, and in debate is in
his natural element. Thirteen years of
investigation and constant study, mingled
with public lectures and discussions, have
given him a knowledge and experience
that is requisite in powerful and con-
vincing speaker. We look for warm
times when these gentlemen hold their
debate.
