But it is all explained now A gentle
man from Pierce county told US how it
happened a day or two ago. The Re-
publicans of Pierce have become dis
gusted with Morse, refuse to follow his
advice, or allow him to represent them,
in short, have rather unceremOuiously
kicked hun out Of their counscs; and
as he is OF an active and mrepressible
nature, he must have s0methtHq to do.
and so he is now regulating st. Croix
county affairs. It's ali right Brother
Morse, but don't be too oficiols, or you
may GET snubbed in this county, and
then what coukt you do?-,Star d
Times.
The above appeared in the Star &c
Times o week or two ago, and We have
waited patiently to see it Reproduced
in the New Richmond Echo. But it
appeared last week in the Herald,
which answers our purpose better, since
we know not which Echo" is the
most subseryient to both Baldwin and
Taylor, at the present time. The
Hcro'd has played second fiddle to the
Star G Times ever since the senatorial
campaign commenced. Hence we have
had the three papers pitching into US
with their best licks, for some time
past. Wen, that suits US, and the only
thing we regret is, that they have no
more brains to mix with their envy and
Jealousy. We hope the gentleman
from Pierce will make Bro. Taylor
another call.

The punn County A. Of Iast week

The Dunn County Nc,cs of last week
devoted over two columns to the marye
lous Developments Of the Lynch
family. We quote one paragraph;
One day the frying pan, or spider as
il is called, flew across the room, strik-
ing the floor with force enough to break
il IN pieces Some visitor was present
and saw it, and Mrs l.. thinks it was
Mr.. Morse. of the River Falls journal
Is that SO, iLorsey
That's 50, Rockwell, and no mistake
and if Sampson had been there in all
his power he could not have smashed
that spider into more pieces.
To US the cry of"humbug' about the
uDaccountable demonstrations at Mr.
lyneh's, is entirely useless. When any
man win account for he movements Of
that spider, when no mortal hand was
near it, he may cry hamJpy, but not
till then.

Henry Ward Beecher says he "has
a profound respect for the man who
thinks a great deal, aud says nothing"
But how does Henry know how much
a man thinks unless he says something?
Then, too, Of what earthly use is mans
thinking. unless tho world is the wiser
for it. If mans knowledge dies with
him, what benefit is it to mankind?
Mr.. Beechcr not only thinks, but
speaks, aud we are quite sure that he
spoke before thinking, when he said
that thing of President Grant, We
deem that a sort Of IeA.handed compli
ment, more in sarvility than in respect.
In Gov. Washburn's speech at Eau
Claire he stated that he made a PROPOSE
ton to one Of the directors Of the Wis
consin Z. r. Company to accept one
hundred thousand dollars, and give the
grant to the Company. At the close
OF the speech, Mr.. Gilbert, who was
the one director referred to, came for
ward and claimed that such was the
case.
Now, in our opinion, that was al
CANNON, and this same Gilbert is only
an plant tool for the Governor-a stoo
pigeon who follows the Governor as
sort Of right bower, prepared to cover
such statements, when needed. Thi
last dodge is quite too thin, and it i
made too late in.the day by an hour an
half. at least.

In last evenings paper we made men
ton Of some of the freaks of the storm Of
that day. THE 27th.) A considerable por-
ton of the Peoria railroad engine house roof,
in this city, was carried away. The east
end of the building was knocked in by the
ice last spring, and not having been re-
paired the wind had fair chance at the
roof. One of the large lights of glass
previously cracked) in Darts furnishing
store, under the Harper House, was blown
in. Alvin says he made lively time for the
rear of the premises thinking the whole
front was coming in. Several lengths Of
fence at the fair grounds were blown
down. The frame of house being built
in Davenport was blown down A man
who was standing close by was taken up
aud carried some fifteen feet. He says
that he thought every tree in LeClaire' 5
grove was going to blow down.
RumGrs Of great damage in Muscatine,
Clinton, Dubuque and Maquoketa were
flying about just after the storm, but they
we're unfounded.
