News FROM THE NoRTH-A gentle
man living in this vicinity has recently re-
turned from the Wisconsin river pineries.
He reports that there is plenty of snow
IA to Is inches-in the pineries for work,
and that men are in the woods very large
ly. There is a serious drawback to opera
tons, however, as there are no horses to
do anything with-the epizooty is prevailing
to fearful extent. All travel north of
Stevens Point is suspended, except by
aid of oxen. So the greater part of haul
ing will be done by cattle this winter, as it
is not expected that horses will be fit for
work before the first of January, at the
earliest. Only about two-thirds the usual
quantity of logs will be cut this winter, as
so many millions of feet of logs are held
over from last spring. Choppers get from
1856 TO $45, teamsters the same, and swamp
ers from 500 to $35 per month, and
found" The weather up there is intense
y cold, the mercury standing at one time
q below zero.

MAKE TT UNANIMOUS. Now that Gree
ley is dead, the Nashville Banner proposes
that the Electors in the States which voted
for him tall we're once slave States) cast
the votes Of their States for Mr.. Grant
1t is within the power of the Electors to
cast the votes of their States for whom
they please. Those Northern Democrats
who either voted for Grant, or O'Conor, or
neglected to vote at all, were the cause of
Mr.. Greeley's defeat and his death, and
they having thus deserted the Southern
Democracy and left them an easy prey to
the Carpet Bagging GRANTEES, we see no
reason why the people of the South should
not pay this compliment to Mr.. Grant,
hoping, in return, that he will aid them in
shaking off the Carpet Baggers and re-
gaining their lost right of local selfgov-
eminent. 1t is evidently the interest Of
the people of the South, now, to make
friends with the Administration on the
best terms they can.

The HISTORY OLA GREAT ENrERPRIsE.
In eighteen hundred and fifty-four, the
original incorpOrators of the Wilson Sew
ing Machine Company embarked in the
manufacture of Sewing Machines and from
that time to the present, their time, talent,
energy and capital have been employed in
making First Glass Sewing Machines with
varied success attending their efforts, it
being their constant aim to produce a Shut
tie or Lock-Stitch Machine that should be
simple to handle, durable as steel and iron
could make it, with unlimited capacity, un-
excelled by any other machine, regardless
Of name or price and withal to confne the
price within the reach Of all classes of
people; and success has crowned their
efforts in the production of the celebrated
Wilson Under-Feed Shuttle Sewing Ma
chimes, which combine all the Elegance,
Simplicity, Durability and Strength posi-
bic for any sewing machine to attain, and
they are the First and Only First Class
moderate priced machines put in the
market. Salesroom at 1878 West Madison
Street, Chiesgo and in all other cities in
the U. S. The company want agents in

/ WILL THE WATER WORKS PAY ?-It
will gratifying to our citizens to learn that
the water works are already more than
sef-sustaining The receipts thus far have
more than betrayed the running expenses,
and the rents due the first of January will
suffice to pay the interest on the bonds.
When the fact is taken into consideration
that nothing but manufacturing establish
ments are charged for the use of water,
until the first of January, it will be seen at
once that large increase of receipts must
result, when every consumer, grea: and
small, who takes the water, is taxed his
pro rata for its use. The question is set
led beyond a doubt that the water works
will be paying institution. 1t is now pro-
posed to create sinking fund of all receipts
over expenses, and useit pay to off the bond.
ed debt Ii is estimated by one of the best
fnanciers in the city that the fund thus
created will pay off the debt as it falls due.

Sunday, especial pains being taken to pro
vide them with frst-class accommodations
For some time past we have noticed that
In their chatting way, they were discussing
the propriety Of forming National Asso-
citation, for the purpose of fostering among
men in their occupation friendly feeling,
feeling of common brotherhood, OF mu-
tual regard and mutual protection, and OF
cultivating pleasant relations with each
other. One of the features of the asso-
citation will probably be the creation of an
insurance fund upon the same plan as that
adopted by the Conductors Association,
and by the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers. 1t is also urged that the associa-
ton make it incumbent upon the members
to relieve one another when sick AWAY
from home as is practiced by secret orders,
In short, the object is to establish broth
erhood of travelling men, to unite them to-
gether in an organization calculated to en-
nance the individual interests of each and
the welfare of all
1t Is believed that there are 10000 men
OF this class in the United States, and it is
easy to perceive that fee Of fifty cents
from each would create a pretty nice relief
fund. 1t will be necessary to form local
associations in all the large cities, from
which delegates can be sent to the national
conventions, All travelling men are in
vited, wherever they may be, to hold meet
ings and express their views upon the pro
priety Of the proposed movement

SEVERE William Rogers,
an employee of Weyerhauser & Denk-
mans saw mill, met with serious acct
dent on Saturday afternoon last. He was
at work about some of the machinery,
when his coat caught in a shaft, and he
was whirled round and round with great
rapidity. His awful situation was discov-
cred by fellow workman, who speedily
rescued him. 1t was found that his right
arm and left thigh were broken, and his
breast badly bruised. Dr. Truesdale was
called to attend him. He was working
with an overcoat on and had been advised
to take it off but few moments before
the accident occurred. The shaft was
making about 500 revolutions a minute,
and his escape from instant death is very
extraordinary.
