MCFARLAND ACQUITTED.

The case of Mcfarland for the
shooting of Richardson was brought to
a fnal termination last week, the jury
bringing in verdict Of not guilty.
But few trials in this country caused
as much Interest and excitement as
this one. The proceedings Of the
trial have been spread before the
country, aud the circumstances in the
case are very generally understood.
A great difference Of opinion seems
to prevail, as to the business of the
verdict, but for our part we do not
wish to question the judgement of the
jury in deciding as they did. The
decision seemed TO turn on the sanity
or insanity of Mcfarland when he
committed the deed, and it appears to
have been clearly shown that at the
time be committed the act be vas
certainly Insane.

RURAL FELICITY IN IRELAND
Sometimes in reading about Ireland
we are inclined to be surprised not so
much that there are absentees as that
there are presentees The Illustrated
London Ne10s has sent special cor
respondent to Ireland to explain to its
readers, both by writing and drawing,
how gentlemen live in disatfected dis
tricts. He has paid visit to the
residence of Mr. Nicholson, 10 Meath,
whose coachman was lately murdered
in mistake for his master Mr.. Mich
olson when he walks out has rife in
his hand at full cock, a policeman
walks on either side of him, and two
more bring up the rear, all armed
There is detachment of constabulary
in the house. An engraving depicts
Mr.. Nicholson taking an airing under
these exhilarating circumstances
w hen he drives out, an indulgence
upon which he rarely ventures, a car
with four policemen follows that which
conveys him, and they carry ladder
to enable them easily to pursue any
assassin who may be disposed to take
pop at the gentleman from behind a
wall, which it might not be easy other
wise to scale. This sort of life contin-
ued for months would prove rather
trying to most mems constitutions, we
fancy.

1.-THE Heated Term" is Coming.

The summer months will very soon be
fairly ushered in with their sultry weather
and long train of diseases. 1t is the season
when nature can do little in recuperating
our exhausted strength, and when we are
required to fortify our physique against the
dangers arising from the universal preva-
lency of sickness. The only true safeguard
is that sure and reliable tonic and invigo-
rator, MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS, which
is Endorsed and recommended by the med
ical faculty and by unnumbered thousands
of persons in every city, town and village
in the country who have tested its remedial
virtues, and, by its aid, preserved or recov
cred their health. 1t will purify the blood
and secretions; cure every form OF Indi-
gestion, and afford immediate relief in cases
of Dysentery, Collie, Cholera, Cholera Nor
bus, and kindred diseases. Provide your
self now against time of need. Delays
are often dangerous. 28w3

from the FIRST that she was determined
to seek another husband, and resort to
any and every means to dissolve her

AO WIZ 40 -
candidate for Congress from among the
prominent men of this district, who
will be the successor of Hon. David
Atwood, the present incumbent.
The candidates for the position are
already numerous, and We are enabled
10 tell with some degree of certainty,
who will be most prominently named
before the convention for congressional
honors. Two candidates from Jeffer-
son county are in the field, Hon. l.. B.
Caswell, of Fort Atkinson, and Hon.
J. II. Bingham, OF Palmyra. Mr..
Caswell was the choice Of Jefferson
county at the last convention, and we
are strongly inclined to the opinion
that the Jefferson county delegation
will again unite on him as their choice.
He is gentleman of sound ability, of
irreproachable character, and always
true to his friends ard the principles
of his party He would do credit as a
representative in Congress.
Mr. Bingham is not without many
warm friends in the county and die
trict, who would feel gratifed to see
him elected to position he is so well
qualified TO fill, by reason of his schol-
arly attainments. As Speaker of the
Assembly the past winter, he acquired
a reputation fer sound judgment and
discretion which well fit him to dis
charge ably the duties Of congressman.
As yet we have heard but one name
mentioned from Dane county, that OF
Col. G. r. Gill, and this gentleman
will doubtless go into the convention
With the entire strength of his county
in his favor. Colonel Gill is too we'll
known IN this vicinity and county to
need any formal notice from US Many
times elected to high positions while a
resident of Jefferson county, be has
always discharged his obligations to the
people and his party with honor and
fidelity. He has many ardent admirers
In this locality who, in the event of the
impossibility of Jefferson county being
abls to carry off the prize, would yield
TO him their warm support.
The county of Rock viii doubtless
still adhere to her favorite son, Hon
Charles G.. Williams, but the selection
Of Z. S. Conger to the position of Cir.
cult Judge, must set aside for awhile
her further claims for honors and dis
tinction.
We presume our neighbogiug county
of Columbia will present to tie conven-
ton the names of some Of her d s.
tinguished and able citizens She has
many trustworthy and honorable men
who would make learned and faithful
Representatives. Among these must
be mentioned Hon |. s. Holmes, the
choice Of his county at the last co n
test, Hon. j. Bowman, of Kilbourn +,
and G. ". Hazelton, the present U S
District Attorney.
It is rather early to even surmise
which of the many candidates nam
ed will be successful, and before
the convention eonyenes, the canvass
may assume a different shape from
what it presents at the present writing.

AGITATED.-The newspapers of the
State are agitating largely the question
as to who shall succeed Hon. Philetus
Swayer-the best representative that
district ever had, but who declines a re-
nomination.
From slight acquaintance with the
political field up there, we should say
that the contest laid between Isaac
Stephenson, of Oconto county, and
j. s. Curtis of Green Bay. IF Judge
Washburn who has just resigned the
Circuit Judgeship. would enter the field
as candidate, he would receive a
strong support; but we understand he
peremptorily declines to go into the
canvass. feeling that Winnebago has
had her share for the present.
Both Messrs. Stephenson and
Curtis are strong men, and could easily
carry the district. We should hate to
make choice between 'em, but we're
of the opinion Ike will be the winning
man. Should that be the case, the peo-
pie of the Fifth can be congratulated
on securing the service of an energetic,
whole souled representative - Clip

CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESSES
DISTRICT.

From the nenominee, tMioh.) Herald.
The subject of Candidates for Con-
gressmen next fall begins te agitate our
Wisconsin neighhors. It new man is
to be selected we s1o not see why our
neighbor Hon. I. Stephenson, should
not be the man selected. The people
have had his name before them for some
time, but he has always held back out
of respect and consideration for the pre-
sentibe incumbent Hon. ?. Sawyer, we
see many Of the papers in his district
speak very favorably of him for the
Office, and gives couple of notices to
show that he is appreciated in his own
district. The following is from the
Ocoato Lun,terneaa in Ais own county
"The people Of this Congressional
District, will, before many months, be
called apon to choose candidate to ell
The place of Hon Philetus Sawyer. We
know Of no man better qualified in this
District to represent its interests in
Congress than the Hon. Isaac Stephen.
son Mr.. Stephenson, like Phiietus
Sawyer, is man of the people and
closely allied to them in sympathy and
interest.
One who has pioneered his own for
tune frem moderate circumstances to a
position of enviable afluence by his
industry, honesty and peculiar business
qualifications In the branch he has SO
successfully pursued.
Having lived many years on the Bay
Shore, his knowledge of its necessities
and it, influence in the commercial
world render him highly fitted to rep
resent it's people and fully to appre-
ciate their wants in the national Legis
lature
Mr.. Stephenson has often represent
ed, as almost the unanimous choice of
our citizens, this Assembly District in
the State Legislature-and, as quiet,
effective, telling worker, has always
accomplished his object and secured to
his constituents the Legislation desired.
1t is just such a man that we want.
A quiet, shrewd, Independent, working
lumberman, always atfable and ap-
proachable, always well informed eff
cient, and there is no man in the
District whom we believe can so we'll
and faithfully represent its interests at
Washington.
