There is in the warehouse Of Par
ker, Hildebrand & Co. steam eleva-
tor. This is certainly a time, labor
and money saving improvement,
wherein thousands Of dollars are
saved during the year All wheat
shipped by this company should 90
as No ] If the berry is sound. All
grades Of wheat, after being received
and weighed is thrown into the hop
per below the first floor and elevated
into bins on the second aud third.
This wheat, if not clean enough for
shipment, is then spouted down TO a
tanning mill (aiso run by steam)
cleaned, and let into the hopper
again, from whence il is elevated 20
clean bins and lot ut through spouts
into cars. Bat two men are rcquir-
cd TO do the whole work.
The carding machine Of this vii
lage is operated and run by water
power. This machine does the bust
ness in its line for large territory,
wool being brought here from % to
80 miles distant. If this mill should
open ont on a larger scale, there is
not the least doubt but what it would
be well patronized and no losses al
lowed to be sustained by the enlarge
ment.
There arc from 60 TO 70 men con-
stautly employed in the different es-
adjustments mentioned above, aud
all are well compensated for their la
Dor. All money paid by Mr.. Hime
for stave bolts. &C., all paid by Syl-
vester Bros. for grain, and all paid
by the tanners for hides, peIts, &C.,
remains in Boscobel and its surround
ing country to greater or less ex-
tent-say nothing Of the amount
paid to employees nor that for incl
dental expenditures. This is only
one portion Of the business transact
ed and carried on in this place The
amount paid out daily for stock and
grain shipped from here in bulk will
astonish any one not having investi-
gated the matter. We are in want,
as has been stated, OF first class
machine shop and foundry, which
We will, without doubt, sec in full
blast at no distant day. Tom.

Democratic Platform Boiled Down.

Oemocratlc Platform Boiled Down.
The Waupun Leader excuses it,
self for not introducing in its col
umns the bulk of the Democratic
platform and summarizes as follows
The Democratic platform is toe
heavy for our columns, and we car
only give a synopsis of it. To our
unbiased vision it means about as
follows:
/. "Barstow the balance" were
saints, but the radicals were tough
cusses.
2. The general government has
usurped power that didn't belong to
it, and wouldn't let the South Sc.
ado.
l. In favor ola revenue tariff
and mad because we don't know
which side of this question the pa-
guey Radicals will take.
4 RAIDS have handled lots of I'm.
Gle Sans money, and havn't let us
have a smell. True, they have paid
some of the debt which they ought
not to have done.
5. The amendments of the con-
stitution have been adopted We
are sorry for it, but can't help it
ergo we depart.
6. II is a national disgrace that
there should be few rascals in the
radical party.
z. Opposed to Ku-KIux and mobs,
but wrong to suppress them.
8. Wrong for radical admins
tration to annex foreign territory,
that privilege TO DO reserved for
Democrats, like James X. Polk and
Andrew Johnson.
8. Actually in favor of the Fox
and Wisconsin improvement.
10. In favor of religious tolera-
'tion. New York riot over with be-
fore this plank was got out.)
WHEREAS. We have been out in
the wet for good many years and
are hungry.
! ;SotUed That we invite you viii
famous radicals TO come over and
boost us into office.

wDoolittle will seek to Justify

EE Dooittle will seek to Justify
his act of treachery to the RepubIi-
can party with some specions excuse
He followed Johnsons policy in the
reconstruction of the conquered
Southern rebels. The Johnson poll
icy was that the President could re-
construct the states--the policy OF
the Republican party was, that Con-
gress alone could do it, and all the
President had to do about it was to
execute their will, or rather the will
of the people, made into law by them.
Doolittle chose to sustain the one
man power in opposition to that of
the people-he Chose to disobey the
will of the people of Wisconsin in
disregarding their instructions made
by. the Legislature. This is the first
time the Republicans of Wisconsin
have bad an opportunity, TO settle
that little matter with Senator Doo-
little, and they are not likely to neg
lect MiltUdukee Sentinel.

THIEVES Nor TO BE TRUSTED
The Tribune, referring TO the action
against the alleged plunderers of the
city treasury, says: 1.-THE arraign-
ment of Tammany cannot be left to
the ring"-that 'ifthe robbers OF our
city are to be brought to justice and
retribution, it is not possible that
those whose hands are unclean can
be intrusted with this weighty SER
vice." 1t thinks there has been such
rapid progress made during the
last few weeks, that no further COM
promises or compositions with the
enemy must be accepted.

sSS- Congressman Stevenson, who
has thoroughly investigated the mat
ter, says that the Southern Ku-KIux
will exceed 200, 900. There were over
$4,000 in Louisiana in 1868, and Gen>
eral Forrest said there were 10000
in Tennessee, and $50, 900 in the whole
South. A leading South Carolina
Democrat says that every respecta-
BILE married man belongs to the order,
and that the organization extends all
over the states

CARRIED The proposition to aid
the NJ 2. X. r. extension TO the
amount of S25 900 was carried in the
town of Mifiin by 20 majority. The
total vote was about 250,-about the
average vote of the town. The OPP
position to tho proposition was we'll
organized, and thoroughly imbued
with tho idea that the Galena mar
row-gague will be built, without a
dollar of aid from the towns. Tho
election was remarkably free from
excitement, and conducted IN strict
ly fair and impartial manner. IL is
expected that other towns will vote
upon the question very soon, tho re-
suit Of which will determine the Rail-
road prospects of that seotion.-Min-

E6- There was some excite ment
at Cold Spring, near Milwaukee, on
Thursday in consequence of The
threat of some Irishmen to lynch a
negro named Felix Basto, who kick
ed to death an Irishman who had
brutally assaulted him. The negro
was arraigned before Justice, and
it appearing that be was entirely
justified in defending himself against
his assailant, was discharged from
arrest. This provoked the Irish ele-
ment, who threatened to kill the
negro but Governor Fairchild, be-
ing informed of the state of things,
ordered the Sheriff to call the Light
Guard militia to his assistance and
protect the negro.

remained, slowly drifting toward the
Insane Asylum. At IL o'clock, an.
other wave struck the boat, washing
the nearly exhausted men from il

planned of cold, did not regain the
boat, but sank. The other two mer

Doolittle Chained to a Corpse.

FEBRUARY 7th, 1865, in a speech in
reply to Senator Salisbury, who had
glorified the Democratic party, Judge
Doolittle said
But, sir, as the Wing party in 1850,
by the issues Of that day, was dissolv-
cd and buried in the tomb OF Webster
and Clay, its champions and repre-
sentatives, so the Democratic party,
when il drew that fatal knife which
severed the silver cord aud broke
the golden bowl of peaee-when it
drew that fatal knife which Destroy
ed the Missouri compromise, dissolv-
ed also and went into fragments, and
upon the ruins Of all these parties
sprang into existance with the new
ness of life, the Republican party,
based upon the ideas of the old Re-
publican party of Jefferson and Mad
