DEATH OF Hon. CHARLES DURKI

DEATH OF Hon. CHARLES DURKEE.
This gentleman died on Friday last
at Omaha, where he had been attacked
by disease while on his way to Wis
consin, his former home. Mr.. Durkee
was a man prominently identified with
the history of Wisconsin,. Coming
thither among the first of the settlers,
from his birthplace in Royalton, Yer
mont, Mr. Durkee was elected to the
Territorial Legislature in 1887, and
again in 1888. Ten years later he was
sent to Congress, and served two terms
in succession. In 1855 he was elected
to the United States Senate, serving a
full term with honor. Conservative
in his habits, yet earnest in his devo-
ton to the Union, Mr.. Durkee was in.
terested in the Peace Conference in
1861, and served as a member Of that
body. In 1865 he was appointed
Governor of Utah, which Office be filed
until removed by President Grant, a
few weeks since. His death will be
generally mourned in this State, where
be was widely known and unanimously
respected.

THE COUNTY CONVENTION.

The call for the election of two del

ferson in the Congressional Conven
ton TO be held in this city on the 1st
day of February next, appears at the
head of our columns this week. We
trust the greatest diligence and care

gates, rendering 1t impossible for any
inharmonious action to prevail among
the representatives from Jefferson coun
ty. We must go into the convention

for our interests.
Since the above was put in type We
have received the call for this Assem-
bly, District Convention, and it will
also be found in the proper place in

THE DECLINE IN PRoDUCE.-Many
OF the newspapers in the county are en-
deavoring to prove that the decline in
produce is owing entirely to the decline
OF prices in foreign markets. This is a
wrong impression, however Wheat has
declined in Chicago form $l,38 to IS
cents per bushel, while the decline in
Liverpool was only about 20 cents per
bushel At the same time Atlantic
freigbts have fallen in the past three
months from 10 cents to 8 cents per
bushel by steamer, thus making a diff
ference to the produce here of one
half Of the decline abroad, making about
10 cents to be accounted for BY other
causes, which are the decline in gold
anithe'general tightening of the money
market. Strange as it may seem, the
demand for Europe has been larger
this year than heretofore, and had not
this been the case our farmers would
be getting still less for their wheat
than now The number Of bushels ex-
ported from Sep. 1st to Dec. 2lst,
1868, was 8 255.O7O, and The number
of bushels exported within the same
time this year is $3.50 736, being an
increase Of more than $50 per cent.

LINES ON A SKELETON.

[Some forty years ago, the following po-
EN- was found in the Morning Chronicle.
Every effort was vainIy made to discover
the author, and even 10 the Offering of re-
ward Of fifty guineas. All that ever tran
spired was, that the poem, in fair, cerky

able symmetry of form, in the museum of

Museum sent them to the Morning Chronicle 7
Behold this ruin Twas a skull
Once Of ethereal spirit full,
This narrow cell was Life's retreat.
This space was Thoughts mysterious seat.
What beauteous visions filled this SPOT!
What dreams of pleasure long forgot
Nor Hopes, nor Joy, nor Love, nor Fear.
Have left one trace of record here.
Beneath this Wondering canopy.
Once shone the bright and busy eye;
But start not at the dismal void
If social love that eye employed,
If with no lawles5 FIRE it CLEANED,
But through the dews of kindness beamed
That eye shall be forever bright
When stars and sun are sunk in night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready, swift and tunefGl tongue:
If falsehood's honey it disdained,
And when it could not praise, W; chained
If bold in virtues cause it spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke,
This silent tongue shall plead for thee,
When time unvails eternity.
Say did these fingers delve the mine?
Or with the envied rubies shine?
To hew the rock or wear the gem
Can little now avail to them.
But if the page of truth they sought,
Or comfort to the mourner brought,
These hands a richer need shall claim
Than all that wait in Wealth and Fame.
AvailS it, whether bare or shod.
These feet the paths Of duty trod
If from the bowers of Ease they fed,
To seek Affections humble shed;
If Grandeur's guilty bribe they spurned,
And home to Virtues cot returned,
These feet with angels wings shall vie,
And tread the palace of the sky.
