GEN. Cass, President Of the Nor

along the line, spent a niaht his
week in Duluth, where some Of our
citizens met him, and were inform
ed that whilst the late financial
panic might for while retard the
progress of work on his road, west
of the Missouri, his company would
be prepared to carry out their agree
ment with the people of Superior,
and build the bay line road, so soon

these requisites have been complied

the Northern Pacific extended into
Superior soon.

THE WISCONSIN GEOLOGICAL
SUR FEY

The act Of March p, 1873, Chap
292, defines the powers aud duties
imposed, to secure reliable Geo
logical Survey Of this State A pc
rusal of this act will ut once inform
the reader Of what may be expected
in the annual report, presuming that
the Chief and his assistants meet
the conditions of the law: and Of
this no doubt need be entertained,
as Gov. Washburn has placed the
matter in the hands Of responsible
parties faculty of the State
University, Prof, r. d. Irving as

The Assistant, Mr. Z T. Sweet,
for these Lake Superior counties, is
a graduate of the University with
the addition Of a years service in
the analytical and chemical Iaborato-
ry of the University.
During the past season Prof. II
wing and Mr. Sweet have surveyed
the so-called Penoka Iron Range in
Ashland, examined the adjacent Is
lands, and Mr.. ). has extended the
work into Douglas county as far
west as our Black River of the
North, along the coast ranges, pop,
ularIy known as the Brule, Amini-
con and Black river ranges.
Actual measurements, physical
descriptions, aud average specimens
of rocks and vein matter constitute
the results; and the laboratory at the
University Will give the values
The era of guess work in geology
and mineralogy has come to an end,
so far as this State is concerned,
facts and facts only must constitute
the text Of the reports SO long a the
law shall be followed and the Chiefs
possess the skill and adhere to the
integrity OF Prof Irving.
For want Of time the survey in
this county was not extended over
the western continuation of the Iron
range from Ashland. The value OF
the latter as Will be ascertajned IN
the laboratory, will not be SO low as
to discourage a thorough survey in
this county, of our south range. Nor
will the analysis of the various pro-
duc,s OF copper diggings in this
county discourage further outlay,

REV. " K HIGGINS

Last week we referred to the final
departure of this gentleman for In
diana, and since then, his family
nave followed to join him. On
Monday 9th instant, before Mrs.
Higgins left, the Hon, Judge

dressed to MIR Higgins by upwards
OF one hundred OF the principal citi

tance OF a Cabinet Organ, which
her many friends in Superior wished

Denudirg the Land

It is reported from Asia Minor that
the destruction of forests by fire con-
t1nues IN that country to most alarm
ing extent. It is the ancient and fatal
practice OF the nrtives to burn down the
woods for the purpose of turning the
land into pasture for their cattle. In
this way large forest of pines on the
mountains of Nymph-Dagh was re-
Gently consumed, while in the neigh
borhoon of Bel-Kaive, near Smyrna. a
plantation of three thousand olive
trees has been destroyed, owing to the
carelessness OF the country people. In
Gambia, also, large fire has been rag
ing for eleven days among the noun
tains of the Sphakid, and It has nearly
decimated Gee of the most magnificent
forests in the island. "It is melan-
cholly to OBSERVE" says the Pail Mall
Gazette, "that as civilization advances
coal mines are becoming exhausted and
forests are disappearing. How the
world is to get on without fuel remains
to be seen. And probably it will have

sadly changed in England since the
provision was inserted in the Curto de

shall be lawful for him to take and kill

New Discipline.

General Ord has recommended q
change in the method of army disci-
pline. In case of the trial of private,
he would have two of the same grade
at the Court, and not have different
methods Of justice for commissioned
officers and enlisted men. It is claimed
for this innovation that it would ele-
vate the condition of Unlisted men, and
would result in securing a superior
material for the ranks of the army, at
the deterioration of which army officers
now so much complain. It is main
tanned that this cause of jealousy and
desertion, which has now become so
general in the military service. This
principle has long been adopted in the
German army, where it is SAID to have
been accompanied by good results.

An Interstate University Contest.

Arrangements have been completed

contest is to be held in Galesburg, ILL.,,
February 05, 1874. The Governors of
the States represented have signifed
their intention to be present if posi-
bic, and Governor Beveridge, Iof Hi
nois, has appointed Prof. A. Stetson, of
the Normal University, as one of the
judges. The other judges have not
yet been appointed, but will be an
ncnnced in due time. The following
article will explain the affair: 'EThe

two prizes on oratory, to consist of
800 and $75 respectively, to be open

thor of Evangeline" and ottawa

title Of his latest volume, ''Math ,

as conveying our harvest more to the
garner he has already so richly stored

turns are supposed to have been it's

When the summer fields are mown.
When the birds are fledged and flown.

Once again the fields we NOW

Not the sweet, new grass with flowers

Not the upland clover bloom:

In the silence and the gloom.
