THE LAST SURPRISE.

The Senate surprised the world of
Madison at the beginning of the session
by the election of Miss Julia Hubbard,
traHscFibing clerk. The Senate gave
them bigger surprise to-day by passing
the Woman Suffrage amendment by a
vote of % to 8. The success of the first
movement, and the good conduct and eff
lcieacy Of Miss Hubbard in her office,
he's evidently inspired the second move
Reat. The following was the vote upon
the question of amending the State Con
stitution by striking out the word male
where it limits the right Of suffrage:
ATss-Messrs.. Butt, Davis, Deuster,
Fiahef, Hall, Ives, Joiner, Kershaw,
Kroaskop, Lynde, Petit, Pratt, Price
Reed, Rice, Stevens, Strong, Town, War
ing, G. G.. Williams, Nelson Williams
Woodman-22
NAY3-M essrs. Baldwin, Burchard
CLARK, Gray, Griswold, Hazelton, Morgan
Shantz, Walkers.
The assembly will not care to go be
hind the Senate in this suffrage move
nent. Should the proposition come from
Col. Rodolf, of La Crosse, the most gal
| l&Ht Of the members, it will likely pas;
the Assembly by reclamation The next
Legislature will not go back upon it
predecessor, nor the people go back upor
the Legislatures How then will Sat
Clark face his enraged female constituent
cy for his vote to-day?

1859 the average yearly receipts in fees

During the past four Jea-o the fees

Lapham has much the best geological and

also full catalogue Of shells, and many

Mr.. Aapham is an original, hard working

with his collection. Isn't it about time
for Milwaukee herself to be looking into

FRIEND WALTON:
Agreeably to my
promise to you when g
here, 1 write you, for
publication if you SEQ
proper, a true state
ment of the good ef-
fects of Roback'y
Stomach Bitters upon
myself. Il had been
troubled with indi-
gestion for a long
time, attended with
severe headache, par
ticularly after eating,
when fortunately AN
old soldier friend
came into the store
and recommended me
to use Roback's Bit
tiers. I did SO by taxi
ing q small wine-gglass
full just before each
meal, and to my great
Joy l was relieved at
once, and am NOW
well by their use. l
would not be without
them at any price. L
have not taken any
other medicine since
y commenced using
the Bitters. And |
can say with a clear
conscience, try Ro-
backs Bitters-th they
will do all they are
recommended to do
If taken according
to directions.
Yours truly,

Patch Grove Academy.

The Trustees of Patch Glcy. Academy
earnestly call the attention Of parents and
teachers to the claims of this institution, 10
their encouragement and support. II has now
the only classical and academic school in this
section OF the State. Organized but few
years, il has constantly increased in the pub
lie confidence and support, and is now estab-
tished on thorough and permanent basis
The policy of the trustees has been 10 secure
uniformity in discipline and instruction, and
to avoid frequent ichange of teachers, so IA
tai TO good scholarship. Superior facilities
are presented for advanced courses of study.
The qualification Of teachers for common
schools is subject of special attention. In
this respect, it is believed this school ranks
among the best in the state. The trustees
take pleasure in announcing that the services
of Mr.. and Mrs. Newcomb, so long and ia
vorably known in connection with the school,
have been secured for the next term, and that
during the Winter term the institution, as
heretofore, will be under the immediate charge
of Prof. w. b. Clark, who has been at the
head of the institution since its foundation.
The attention of those desiring thorough
education, is called to this school before going
to other and distant portions of the state. Ii
home institutions are as good as those at a
distsnce, and secured at much less expense,
they ought first to be supported.
Letters addressed TO c. X. Newcomb CT
William Humphrey, President of the Board,
will ceceive prompt reply.
Per order Of TRUSTEES.

KILLED IN THE MINEs.-The Galena
Gazette is authority for the statement
that q distressing accident occurred
on the goth, inst, in the lead mines
owned by Johns & Hawkins, situated
between Benton and the Twelve
Mile House, in Wisconsin. While
Messrs. John Murley and Jas. Hop
kins we're working in these mines a
large rock slipped out from one side
OF the drift, wedging Mr.. Murley in
between il and the other side of the
drift, and killing him almost instant
ly. The rock struck Mr.. Hopkins
also and knocked him senseless. AS
soon as he revived he spoke to Muir
Icy who made no answer, and crawl
ing to the spot he found that he was
dead. Murley leaves a wife and nine
children. Mrs. Murley, who is deli
cate, tainted away on learning Of
the death of her husband and is now
in Il condition which renders her re-
covery doubtful.

The Coming Fair.

The fifteenth annual exhibition
and fair Of the Grant county Agri-
cultural Society will be held at Ian
caster on Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, Sept. IA, Is and 10th next.
The time chosen for the Fair is the
same as that of last year, and proba-
bly, could not be Bothered to suit the
convenience of farmers generally.
BY a singular fatality the county
fairs for q number of years in success
sion have been attended with rain
and the worst Of weather for such
gatherings. There has been gener-
ally good attendance, but on ao-
count Of the rains or threatened
storms the people have not wished
to risk exposed many articles on ex-
hibition. Thus have the number of
entries fallen short Of that Of pre-
coding exhibitions.
As far as the efforts of the officers
of the society can avail it is deter
mined that the coming fair shall be q
successful one in every respect and
will afford pleasure with profit to
exhibitors and attendants. Every
accommodation will be prepared for
the proper care and exhibition of ar
ticles, stock and machinery, and for
the convenience and pleasure of Wis.
itOrs.
We learn from the Secretary of the
society that Waldo Brown, Esq, Of
Prairie du Chen, will deliver the adj
dress on the last day Of the fair. Mr..
Brown is popular lecturer and an
able orator, and the society may
well feel proud of having secured his
services upon this occasion.
A new feature has been added to
the department of amusements. A
grand balloon ascension from the
fair grounds will take place on the
afternoon Of the last day of the fair.
AT IL great expense arrangement Is
have been made with J. ID. Davis q
Co., of Cincinnati, BALBOA managers,
to exhibit and initiate one of their
mammoth balloons, capable Of hold
ing 10000 feet of ascending power,
being 80 feet high and 80 feet in d.
ameter.
A full band Of music will doubtless
be provided. There will be the usu-
al displays, trotting matches, and
other attractive and interesting fea-
lures.

tos- We regret to learn from the
following that our torme rtownsman,
Philip Reitz, has met with some mis-
fortune in his new Missouri homo at
Rockport:
"The dwelling house of Phillip
Reitz, Esq, q short distance east of
town, was made a complete wreck
by the storm Of Thursday, the 18th
inst, The west end of the house
was. struck by lightning literally
SCATTERING the Notwithstanding and
siding into thousand fragments
The east gable was also badly shat
tered. Strange to say, the family of
Mr.. r. escaped injury. Mrs. r. was
within two feet of the west wall
when that part Of the building was
struck and the remainder of the
family were near the other end of
the house. A severe shock was all
that either sustained" - Atkinson
