FROZEN TO DEATH.-On Saturday last,
James Lynch was found frozen to death,
within few rods of his house, on the
road to the South Pewabic mine. The
facts, as near as we can learn, are as
follows; Mr. Lynch had come in from
the Schoolcraft mine, and in crossing the
Lake, broke through the ice, and was half
frozen when he arrived in Houghton.-
Stopping at the house Of Michael Foley,
he was urged to stay over night, as it was
bitter cold, and there was danger in at
tempting so long walk in his wet con-
dition. But he could not be prevailed
upon to stay, saying that he must go home
that night, and provide wood to keep his
wife and little ones from the winters flu
ry. He started out and somewhere on the
road met another man who accompanied
him as far as the Huron stamps where he
turned off to go home But he was
destined never to reach it. Overcome
with cold he lay down in the snow, and
though few steps would have brought
him to the shelter of his own roof, where
loving hands would have quickly warm
ed him to life, yet that seductive Grows-
mess which tempts unto sleep eternal,
benumbed all his senses, and palsled his
limbs with the icy touch of death. A
discovery of oman frozen to death"
a hasty summoning of a coroner's jury,
verdict g came to his death by cold and
exposure" is all of the brief history the
world will ever know, and even this
little they will soon forget, but there are
five loving hearts which will feel the Chi
ling cold of that freezing night for many
a day, and whose entire after life will be
by the incident it has become
our painful duty to Portage

Beecher OH Sumner.

Henry Ward Beecher has stated in the
Brooklyn Christian Union. in very terse
snd forcible manner. his reasons for be-
lieving that the Senate was justified in
removing Mr.. Sumner from the Chair
manship of the Foreign Relations Com,
miliee. He scouts tho idea that Mr..
Sumner was prosecuted. If Mr.. Sumner
had been removed for his devotion to the
principles of The party such q plea might
have been justly urged. But such WAS
not the case. Mr.. Sumner had persis
tentIy, and in an offensive personal man
ner, determined to defeat the foreign
policy of the administration. for which
the President vas accountable to the
country. But the most important reason,
in Mr. Beeeher's Judgment, why Mr..
Sumner should be removed WAS that he
had prescribed conditions preliminary to
the considerations of our difficulties with
England. which would endanger the
peace of two great nations Conditions
which England could and would not ad
init, and which would not only defect the
efforts Of the administration to restore
amicabIe relations with England and Sc
cure the payment of losses due to our
citizsns. but such rs would wound the
national pride of England and increase
Instead Of removing the difficulties now
existing, which prevent the re. toration oil
amiiy. Tosecure this object of the adj
lninistration Mr.. Beecher regards as of
infinitely mere Importance than the posi-
ton Of any one man in the United States
Senate. NJ. Summers naughty intoler-
ance of opinion, 10 opposition 10 bis own,
even though it involved such circum-
stances as above alluded TO. and which
compelled the administration either to
ask his removal. or 10 abandon las at

with England rs we'll as other important
measures connected with our foreign pol

cation Of the action of the Senate.

to answer promptly all business inquiries
upon the subject Many persons who are
DESTROYS Of engaging in the milling bus
mess, hesitate in fear of the great cost
that has heretofore attended the purchase
of the machinery aud getting the same
put in successful operation. Those costs
ara stated By the furnishers Of the old
style to be about so and so-nothing DEF
nile--and at the conclusion bill, to as
toOish aud discourage any careful bust
ness mao, would be presented. And
then again, if ANYTHING happened to go
wrong at starting up the work (which
formerly was frequently the case and is
still liable TO he the same) the cost of
the correction was generally thrown upon
the parties purchasing.

"Honor to whom Hsnor Is Due.

II is with much pleasure and no little
pride that We, at this tune, make special
mention of the members Of the legisIa
ture from the st. Croix Valley. Sena
tor Ives, Messrs Powell, Vaughn and
Fay. have almost invariably. worked
in harmony on all matters of local
character. They have shown themselves
true to the interests of their constituents,
ami have iabored zealously to secure
such legislation ~ world most benefit the
people whom they had the honor to rep
resent
Hon. s. 8. Vaughn, Of the upper
district. has introduced twent, seven bills
and memorials, and he has been gsner
ally successful in securing the passage q
bis measures. Cool, clear headed, ener
getic, industrious and thoroughly relia-
bic, he makes az able and safe repressu.
tali,e.
ST. Croix county has been well rep
resented by r X. Fay. Conf citing in
terests in bis own county has made his
position most unpleasant, at times, but
be has aimed to mete out equal aud ex
act justice 10 all parties according to his
best judgment, aud he certainly merits
the confidence Of the people he repre-
sents.
Assemblyman Powell, representative
of our own county, needs no word Of
commentator from US. 1t is due 10 the
people of this county, however, TO state
that MIR. Powell has not only ably but
faithfully represented the entire county,
favoring no locality at the expense of
another. His efforts to secure change
in the law exempting the railroad lands
from taxation were successful, aud the
railroad lands in this county will lie sub
ject to taxation as soon as the railroad
company acquires title to them. While
attempting to secure the passage of the
railroad charter, which we have mention
ed elsewhere, he rejected every amend
ment that would tend to impair its use
fuine,s, resolving rather TO kill the bill
at once than jeopardize the railroad in
terests of the county by lacking injurious
amendments TO it. We are satisfied no
man could have done more for tho pub
lie veal Of this county than has been &C
complisbed by AIR. Powell.
1t is not our intention to pass our
worthy Senator by without saying word.
We know be is little loose in politics,
to represent this radical district, hut in
every other particular he is sound, and
we think he closes his legislative term
with the good wishes Of all. When the
track is in good order and the democra
cy have the slightest show of success We
shall advise our democratic trends to lrot
out " old Jack for lieutenant governor.
1t will be well with the people of the
St Croix Valley if they are always rep
resented by legislators as efficient aud
faithful as those who have served them
during tho session Of 1871.
