IHsIGRATIoN.-Co 0. G. Johnson, the
Commissioner Of Immigration at this port,
has put into operation the law for Iacltitat-
ing Immigration. Among other effects, ii
assists eIaI~ranGs to determine where ii
woua be best fer them TO settle. lie has
appointed county committees on lnmigra-
ton, consisting Of three residents Of each
county, located far enough apart to give, III
thClr comparative reports, d general account
OF the natural resources, qualities or SOIL,
manufactures, means Of transportation, so
ciaI condition, etc, OF the entire county.
Many counties, however, have yet no com
mit1ae appointed, or only one or two mem
bers thereof Persons who can identity
! themselves IS reliable parties, and living ID
counties where committees are not yet made
I'D. should send in their own or some other
names, to be appointed BY Colonel johnson
on such committees Of iuformatt0h- Iam-
phlets containing III CHS information from
every part Of the State, are TO be published
! III Norwegian, German and w elsh, and DIS
I tributed IN those countries. Col. johnson
has taken hold of the interests of the State,
as well as those Of the immigrants, in good
earnest, and Is conducting the Office Of lm-
migration with judgment and activity

The State of Wisconsin needs nothing
so much as the above, or some similar plan,
well carried out. But ike every plan, Ii
depends entirely on the men who have ii
in charge. We earnestly hope that Col.
Johnson will not rest with appointing coun-
ty committees, but that be viii require much
busy work from them. Committees prov
ing inefficient should be reconstructed at

LETTER FROM ToNToGANY.

ToNToGASY, April "a, 1871.
EDITOR JOURNAL: Spring has come remark
ably early this year. ] think there are but few
persons that have seen an earlier spring in this
latitude. The farmers have great reason to re-
rice as il gives them more time to prepare for
seeding. think never saw so much ground
plowed and grain sowed, as we now have. Oats
that are up never looked better, also wheat. |
had occasion to take a short tour through a p0r-
tion Of our State. and can truly say that new
er saw the wheat ornp more promising. These
things combined has caused our merchants TO
prick up their ears for a large trade. Reed and
Aliens stores are full of choice, well selected
goods, and they are selling them at low figure.
Whitmore has returned from New York with nm
unusually large stock Of goods for his dry goods
and hardware stores. Sam. says they have got
to be sold. and for that purpose has secured the
services of several gentlemanly clerks who are
always on hand to wait upon his numerous GUS
toners. F. Il. Miller, who is always wide awake.
| anticipating a very heavy trade has, we under
stand, purchased all the dry goods in New York
and Boston and is transferring them as fast aS
possible to this place, where they will be sold on
the ready pay system, which pays the best for
those that buy goods intending to pay for them
We hope to see the old system of buying on time
a nd paving after harvest, done away and ready
pay substantiated.
The railroad fever has died oHt pretty much
here, and from the best information can obtain,
the ruad will go by Napoleon striking the rail-
road near Weston or Custar, and the Fndlay
pike near the old Ross place. Well, if we cant
get it, say let her go, and success attend the
lucky ones where the railroads cross.

successful in realizing all that his Imagination
has pictured of that delightful country.

Our Dumb Animals.-This is the title of
neat monthly paper, published in Boston at 81
per Annum. II the dumb animals could only
read and appreciate what was said in this ex-
cellent paper in their behalf, what an enormous
circulation it would have! The paper is de-
voted to their interests, and boldly exposes
the crueltes which are more generally inflicted
upon them than most Of us are ready to believe.
The Massachusetts Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals which publish it, is do
ing noble work. We hope il may be followed
by similar organizations in every state.
