Territory. This brings to mind the fact that

Treasurer. Mr.. &. would make n efficient
officer, and his nomination would no doubt
meet with the approval Of the Democrats of
this section.
CONTRARY to my expectations. I found the
bridge over the Madison in good order.
Your readers have ne doubt heard or the
bridges having been broken out BY the ice
this spring, and Messrs. Shed and Dumphy
certainly deserve credit for their energy and
enterprise in rebuilding them so promptly.
The bridge over the Jefferson has tic strinc-
ers about a'l in position, and will be cena-

The farmers CT the Willow Creek settl =
nent were, at one time decidedly In favor OF
a ''subsidy bill;'' they all admit, however,
that opinion has been rapidly changing or
Il at subject, and from conversation with
many OF them in relation thereto, am OF
opinion that subsidy, or aid in any share. for
the North and South road, will, If left to q
popular vote. be defeated. Were they. satisfied
that dttring the next two years, the N. r. r.

considerable benefit. they would not for
moment entertain any proposition to aid the

T. There are several farms for sale on Willow
Creek, and any person desiring q good farm
could certainly TO no better than to buy. as
the terms are reasonable, and the land re-
narkably free from frost. Although large
proportion the wheat crop OF the Territory
was injured by frost last season, not kernel
was lost on this creek. Nearly all the wheat
ground at the Madison Mills this spring was
grown in this settlement. and the Hour is OF
the finest quality. t s2tfi1t tsF si9a'
In my next will telryou something about
what see in Madison County.
Putting hoop Or the family -four barrel
is an operation that will hardly bear an en-
core. The woman generally attempts It be-
fore tile man comes horne 70 dinner. She sets
the hoop up on the cndlo the slaves, takes a
delibera:e aim with the rolling pin, and then
Bshntting both eyes, brings down the pin w,tk
all the force of one arm, while the other in.
stinctiyely shields her face. Then she makes
a dive for the camphor and unbleacheI mus-
lin, and when the man comes henae she isy
sitting back of the stove thinking of St. Ste
phcn and the other martyrs, while bnpnt
dinner and campbor are struggling for tho
mastery. He says if she had kept her tenn
per she wouldn't bave got htsrt. And he vfs-
its the barrel himself, and puts tha hoop on
very carefully, and adjusts it so nicely to the
top Of etery stave, that only a few smart
knocks arc apparently needed to bring 10
down all right then he la,rsghs to himself to
think whatfa fuss his wife kicked up over So
simple q matter, that only needed q. little pa
tience to adjust itself, and then he gets the
hammer, and fetches the hoop sharp rap on
one side, and, the other side flies up, and
catches him on the bridge of the nose, flling
his soul with wrath and his eyes with tears.
and thes.next instant that barrel Is Is flying
across the room accompanied by the ham
mer, and another candidate for camphor and
rag is enrolled in the great al my that un-
