MARENGo, H., Dec. 30,--A German
family living in Kane county. nine
miles from Marengo, have recently
been attacked by trichinosis from
the effects of which disease four men,
bers of the family have already died.
and the death of fifth 10 hourly ex-
pected. The disease in this case, has
assummed it's most virulent form and
microscopic examination Of the
sausages eaten by the family has dis
closed immense numbers of the des-
troying and abhorrent little ghouls
in the pork. DR.. Green, who is at
tending the family, on Tuesday
brought to Blgin several particles Of
the meat alluded to, which was tho
roughly examined by DR.. Winches-
ter, and found to be absolutely alive
with trichine. The case is exciting
intense interest in Kane. McHepSv
and Boone counties, and the afflicted
family are now, although compare

hood, the observed. jail scientific OBJ
servers. But little hope is enter
tanned of the ultimate recovery Of

Reunion of the Iron Brigade.

A number of officers and soldiers
who served in the "Iron Brigade"
and participated in it's battles, sieges,
marches and hardships, have con-
ceived the idea of holding reunion
Of the members Of that brigade at
Lancaster, at an early day.
To this end we are requested to
give notice TO all surviving officers
and soldiers, who during the late
war had any connection with the
famous "Iron Brigade" of the Potom-
&C army, to communicate with Gent
John b. Calls, at Lancaster, giving
their views on the proposition. 1t
is thought the 22d of February would
be u very appropriate day for such
q reunion. When a sufficient mum

EDUcATIoNAL.-The annual report
OF State Superintendent Craig is in
press and will soon DO issued. From
an abstract of the report appearing
in tho State journal We copy some
items of interest.
The number Of persons in the
State returned ss over four and I'M
der twenty years of age is 39s,747,
Of which number 245, 1876 attended
school during the year. The aver
sgc wages Of male teachers, $40 CD /;
OF female teachers, S2S.3l. There
are 4,7l2 public school houses, val
ued At about 100000. For the
year cost Of education was So per
pupil.
The productive school fund in
creased in 1869 about $4,000, and
now amounts to So, 237 ,414.37. Only
five or six towns have adopted the
township system of school govern
ment.
The Superintendent thinks that
SO soon as the township system IS
clearly understood it will be gener-
ally adopted and will prove to be q
great Improvement on the present
system; he says the past year has
beon one of progress in the educa-
tional work. Our schools have been
literally sustained, and in the main,
we'll attended. The teaching has
generally been of a better qnality,
and a wider range of studies has
been pursued. The report presents
and comments upon various inter-
ing facts, and presents some wise
suggestions for the advancement of
the cause of popular education.

Death Of Hon. b. +. Hopkins

Hon. Benjamin +. Hopkins, Rep
resentative 10 Congress from the
Second district of this State, died at
his home in Madison on Saturday
night, the 1st inst He was stricken
with paralysis of one side something
over month ago, and at first it was
thought that he could live but few
days he rallied after time, how
veI, his friends thought there was
sorne prospect Of recovery, but his
physicians from the first were of the
opinion that; his sickness would
prove fatal His death, therefore,
is not unexpected, though none the
less sad on that account.
Mr.. Hopkins was born in Wash
ington county, N. Y, on the 22d of
April, 1929; he was, therefore not
Yet III years af age. He received a
common school education, and came
TO this State about twenty years
ago, and engaged in business in
Madison, whore bis energy and good
business qualifications soon drew at
tention TO him. He was private
secretary TO Gov. Bashford, in 1856
and 81. In 1862 he was elected to
the State Senate, and served two
years aud 1866 he was elected a
Representative in Congress from
the Second district. and in 1868 was
reelected by majority of over
5000 votes. Though not what is
termed man of genius or brilliant
talents, Mr. Hopkins had, what is
not less important and quite as use
ful; a we'll balanced mind. He was
O shrewd observer Of men, o good
organizer and executor, a man OF
excellent judgment, great persever-
ance, and tar-sighted in the formation
of his plans. As conductor of po-
litical campaigns he had few equals
in the State. As member Of the
Legislature and of Congress he
welded large influence. not SO
much by his speeches as by his per-
sonal popularity, which had its foun-
dation in mis- genial manners, and by
his correct estimation Of measures OF
public import. In private life he was
courteous, warm-hearted and benevo-
lent, and many poor man has cause
TO cherish biz: memory with gratitude
and drop tear upon his grave. He
had many aud warm friends among
those who knew him best. and no
where was be more popular than at
home.
He was tho youngest of Wiscon-
sims delegation in Congress, yet he
had already entered upon q public
career that promised a future OF
promotion and wider influence, and
greater achievements, His death in
the prime Of manhood and at the
threshold Of his public life, will cause
many sad reflections in circles outside
of those that counted as relative and
friend. Peace to his ashes l-Nil-
loagkee Wisconsin.

The Vernon County Censor has
found 1.-THE meanest man in Wiscon-
sin in the person of George Hiles
who runs a saw-mill in Wood county.
1t says: ga son OF Mr.. Alexander of
thir village was killed while in Hiles'
employ, and the father, on going to
bring home the body OF his son, had
bill of S44.50 to pay to Hiles, made
mp of items like these: For washing
the body and laying it out, $500 I;
tor going across the street for cof-
fin, So 80; for placing the body in
the coffin, $500; for a plain rough
board coffin, $500 for taking inven-
tory Of the effects of deceased, $1,000;
and SO Oh.
Three wooden stores in Monroe

Sunday night last, involving loss
of from Sl5, 900 to 1000, Bloom &
Son, hardware ia. Banks, boots
and shoes E. Morris, clothing; BIC.
Reynolds, tobacco, and Corson &
Sons, harness &c.
The State Journal, speaking of the
hop crop Of the state, says the growth
Of 1869 is put at less than $4,000
bales, which is over 90, 900 short Of
the crop of 1868, and it is estimated
that less than 5000 bales are now
held 10 the state.

taken place at the Inauguration of

STATE FAIR--The meeting of the
Executive Committee of the State
Agricultural Society will soon be
held at Madison. We believe one of
the questions to be settled will be
the location of the next State Fair.
The sixteen Fairs heretofore held
have all been located at Madison,
Milwaukee, GAINESVILLE or WATERFOWL.
Why not the next Fair be held at
Prairie du CHEN? This point is as
accessible by railroad and water as
Milwaukee which place has been
several times favored.

What we want our Representatives
TO do,

There is little for theLegislature to
DO the present winter. The positive
and negative poles must conflict, and
il they neutralize each other, and
leave US just where we are now, we
can live. We however believe our
situation may be improved, even by
the Legislature. That body will
not cure the govt or diphtheria; can
not regulate the Thermometer or
convert a Wisconsin Winter into
perpetual Spring. But it might help
us some by freezing up and giving
US less Of a good thing. But if it
docs anything let it look towards
curtailing expenses. Why should
twelve men be employed two days
on q jury TO decide whether Morse
or Bugby owns calf worth S10?-
Why should not the number Of ju-
rors in the Circuit Court tor all trivi-
al cases at least be reduced to six men?
Experienced judges all over the State
favor such reduction as this, and, if
q change in the constitution is re-
CURED, the people would doubtless
favor such step. There must al
ways be some responsible body of
men to perform the duties Of grand
jurors. Surely everybody ought not
to be regarded as indicted and put
on his trial that a Justice Of the
Peace may happen TO bind over to
appear in court. But if the grand
jury system were abolished, perhaps
the legislature could devise cheaper
mode OF bringing criminals TO justice.
And we think the former system
Of county government was the bet
ter. it made the people better ac'
quainted with their own affairs. Ii
is said that a few men will control
any large deliberative body, and
what is the use Of fifteen or twenty
men in the County Board who are
mere dummies and ke-weights.-
Such an argument would prove that
we ought to give up democratic
forms and appoint dictators at once
Nature has made pretty fair dis.
tribution of brains, and nobody can
WELD permanent influence over
such men as would constitute our
County Boards composed Of the
chairman Of the several Town Boards
unless his honesty, integrity and in
telligenco entitled him to it.
And there arc some very good
reasons why legislation should not
be an annual but bienniel plant
What one legislature sows rs wheat,
it's successor pulls up as tares. Laws
pass us as Summer clouds. We can't
daguerreotypO them till they are
gone. Can there be no end to legis-
lation, and can nothing be done an
dor general laws?

THE AMERICAN BIsHoPs AND THE
PoPE.-A cable dispatch from Berlin
speaks of the American Bishops as
devoted adherents of the Papacy,
and some Of our contemporaries are
thereat surprised. But it is quite
true that the prelates of tho Unittd
States are as far as possible from any
tendency toward "liberal Catholi-
cism," and the explanation is very
simple. Canon law having no force
in this country, the Bishops are not
chosen by their clergy or Cathedral
chapters, but appointed at the mere
will of the Pope. The hierarchy in
fact 10 a close corporation, in which
the members nominate candidates to
fill vacancies in their own body, and
the Pope appoints at his pleasure,
generally selecting one from the list
of nominees presented for bis approx
al, but sometimes disregarding that
list altogether and consulting only
HE own preferences. Thus, however
widely liberal ideas may be spread
among the lower clergy and laity, it
is oext to impossible for any one TO
become Bishop who is not zeal
GUS promoter of the Papal peroga-
tives. There is no part of the world
in which the influence of the Roman
Court over the Episcopal body is
stronger than in the United States.

Discussions among the liberals are

A new trouble is now arising. The
politicians are not going to have the
fight all to themselves. OF late
the Protestants have been making
an effort to gain a foothold il Mexico,
and there is every reason to believe
they are going TO have hard road
to travel il their efforts to evangelize
the country, as they term it. The
Protestant place of worship in Pu-
ebla was recently attacked, and the
preacher and few of his friends
had some difficulty in escaping with
their lives. When will peace reign
in Mexico?

annually to carry on the machinery
of paying pensions, and that Of this
sum the pensioners pay niue hundred

dollars annually. There is, it is evil

The machinery of the bureau runs
with too much friction. We know
that the Commissioner, Hon. Henry
