Legislature, referred to- vote of the
people Of the county, at the annual
March meeting. All the towns voted
except Barton, Charleston, Derby and
Newport. Number Of votes cast,

favor, "a; twenty three in Holland
and one in Westmore. This settles
that question for the present. 1t is
somewhat singular that several Of the
largest towns in the county failed to
vote either way.

LANCASTER.

The Antiquarian Supper aud Levoe
at the Lancaster House, last Tuesday
night, was successful in every parucu-
lar. The appearance of our mothers,
wives and sisters, CARRIED in costumes
Of Eye olden time,' was most laugh
able. The refreshments, which were
in keeping with the tunes represented,
consisting Of excellent hulled corn,
bean porridge &c. found ready mar
ket. We learn that the sum of about
$50 was realized which will aid mate
rally in replenishing the library.
We learn that the roads in some of
the adjacent towns are almost impass-
able. One gentleman reports that he
had TO unhitch his horse from the
sleigh twice to enable him to pass
teams on the road the other day.

LUNENBURG.

The following Resolution after be-
ing fully discussed, all in the sfIirma-
tive, however, was unanimously sdopt-
ell by our citizens at the Annual
March Meeting:
Rssoirsf That the frequent change Of text
books, is an expensive injury TO our schools
aud tnnt we hereby direct our superintendent
not TO Recommend any other books than those
now IN use ia our schools.
Some facts are patent to all OBJ
servers. 1t takes about three years
to make the change, thus increasing
the evil the law Intends to obviate,
that is, in many instances, doubling
the classes. Publishers could richly
afford to give every scholar in the
State a text book, at the price we
have TO pay, after they are spiked on
TO the Stale. A former Secretary of
the Board said, sit must be confessed
that the Board did not drive 4 very
sharp bargain with the publishers"
Surprising we have Board at four
dollars q day and expences, to exam
inc and introduce our -four, corn, tea,
tobacco, shad, salmon and potato
dIggers. l believe in an open market.
Let books and all other things rest on
their merits, and lot constitute q
paid agency to recommend, introduce,
and bind a sham on the State. 1t is
fact, that we pay higher than other
States for our school books. Take

4 PROCLAMATIONB BY THE GOVERNOR

The Governor of Wisconsin has issued
his proclamation, declaring all interest Of
the MIL & St P. Co in the Superior and
St Croix land grant forfeited, as follows
Whereas by an act of the Legislature of Wisconsin,
approved March H. 1878, entitled an act to grant
certain lands the Milwaukee and ST. Paul Railroad
Company and to execute the trust assumed by the
State of Wisconsin, by its acceptance of the grants of
land made by Congress by acts approved June Sd,
lS56 and MAY 9TH, 1854" there granted to the
Milwaukee and ST. Paul Railway Company all the
right title and interest which the State of Wisconsin
now has or NAV hereafter acquire in to the la ds
granted to the State by two certain acts of Congress
one approved June 3D. 1856 entitled act granting
public lands TO the State Of Wisconsin, aid in che
construction of railroads in that State" and the other
approved May 9TH 1864 entitled an act granting
lands to aid in the construction of certain railroads in
the State of Wisconsin, far said lands grant
ed aid in the construction of railroad from Saint
Crox river or lake between townships twenty-five
and thirty-one, the end Of Lake Superior and
to Bayfield," upon conditions therein named;
And, Whereas, by the fourth section of the act OF
the Legislature of Wisconsin, above referred to- said
company required within sixty days from and af
ter the passage of said act file with the Secretary
of State resolution duly adopted by its Board of D
rectors accepting the grant upon the terms and
ditons therein contained and also within sixty days
give to the State of Wisconsin such security for the
completion Of said road from St. Croix river lake
to the west end of Lake Superior and to Bayfield, as
shall be required by the Governors
And, Whereas said company has failed to file with
the Secretary OF State such resolution and give
the State the security required for the completion OF
the road in accordance with the provisions of said
of Congress and of the Legislature Of Wisconsin;
Now, therefore, c. G. Washburn, Governor of the
State OF Wisconsin, in obedience to the requirements
of the fifth section of said act do hereby proclaim "a
forfeiture by the said company OF all rights and priv
leges under said act"
In testimony whereof have heradnto subscribed
my name and caused the Great Seal of the
Seal. State to be affixed

4 COSTLY E4R0E.

The Shah of Persia will exhibit himself
at the Vienna Exposition. The tour will
cost five millions of dollars, which expense
will be paid by the people of Persia. Their
ability to pay high taxes to support Shah
in such state, may be inferred from the fact
that two millions of their mum Der starred to
death a year ago. AS many more were
saved from absolute starvation only by the
pittance of a few thousand dollars sent from
America and England. The old monster
ought to be stripped Of his jewels, deposed,
imprisoned ana fed on bread and water for
life. 1t is high time that civilized govern
ments combined to overthrow by force,
every such murderer's farce as the Persian
government" Russia is moving that way
and we hope she will end the matter.

CONCERNING THE NORTH WIS. COMPANY
The only hope OF the Hudson Star dmo
Times, in view of the surrender of the grant
by the Milwaukee Co. is the North Wis
consin Company. That Company has shown
its good faith by beginning work, and
spending money. 1t loses $4,000 year
on the road built (some Is miles) The
line must be extended to pay. The Star
knows Messrs. Baldwin and Humbird.
They have built Hudson one r. r. They
have redeemed their pledaes. They need
the grant road as an outlet for the West
Wisconsin Il. X.
And we are glad to announce to our readers that
Messrs Baldwin and Humbird still desire to extend
their roat to Superior Had they the grant they
would proceed at once with the work Whether or
not they will do and take the chances, cannot
say Mr.. Humbird informs us that they are extreme
ly anxious get into the timber and it is impro-
bable that they may build some miles this year
The ST Paul Press cannot overcome the
belief that the grant is forfeited, and rail
road to Lake Superior postponed for gen
Grafton by a lack of pluck on the part Of the
North Wisconsin Company. 1t should
have taken the hint given by Judge MilIer's
decision last fall, and without waiting for
Congress, or especially for the Legislature,
which 6 has no more to do with the d;spo.
sition of the grant than with the Khivan
expedition" should have gone on building
its road as if nothing had happened; and as
it was the purchaser and legal possessor of
the rights under the old grant, not yet de-
clared forfeited, it would have been left in
undisturbed possession. The Press how
ever, urges the North Wis. 60. to build
The ''manifest necessity Of the grant is
their magnificent opportunity
1t is true that the Legislature last winter declared
the grant forfeted but that declaration is not judi
cia decree, by any If the L. Circuit Court:
decision is good in favor of the State it must also
tend the company and before decree of forfeiture
can be worked through the Wisconsin courts, the
North Wisconsin company can build the road, If they
will but bestlr themselves splendid prize is withir
their grasp, and the tight money market should no
prevent stockholders from profting by it.

VISIT OF THE NORTHERN PA CIFTC OFF,
GALS THEIR SELECTION OF DEPOT
GROUNDS AND OTHER ARRANGE
MENTS FOR BRINGING THEIR RAIL
ROAD INTO SUPERIOR.
Gen. Geo. w. Cass, President of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company, W.
Minor Roberts, Esq, Chief, and Mr.. NJ G.
Kimberly, Assistant Engineer, of the n. P.
r. r., visited Superior last Monday in the
interests of their Road. They looked over
the depot grounds selected and set apart
for the n. 2. near the mouth of the Ne
madii river, and considered them hand
somely located, and very desirable.
These grounds extend from Thompson
Avenue Zone square east of Becker Avenue)
to the Nemadji river, and from the north
side of First Street to the south side of
Michigan Street, embracing 125 acres.
The tract includes four piers, namely the
Ogdensburg, Buffalo, Cleveland, and Mil.
waukae piers, (parallel with Quebec pier),
giving the n 2. over 900 feet water front
age on Superior Bay, also over 1000 feet
of water frontage on the Nemadji River,
accessible by the largest steamers, and
within short distance of the St. Louis
river entry.
The n 2. Extension from Rice's Point
will come down the highway, or county
road on Conner's Point, striking the water
at Roy's, two miles from the Rice's Point
Bridge, and three miles from the Nemadii,
thence following virtual prolongation OF
First Street, by building over the water at
about 800 feet from Second Street, and
parallel Herewith, till land is reached again
at Nettleton Avenue, about one mile from
the Nemadji
Taken altogether these 125 acres, on the
plat of Superior, selected by the Northern
Pacific officials, as Depot and Station
grounds for their great railway, we venture
to say, are the most ample, extensive and
magnificent on the continent.

IT CONE ON.
A new corporation, styled the Mackinaw
and Sault Ste Marie Telegraph Company
was organized on the 18th Of this month,
and on the l4th began building a line Of
telegraph from Marquette, Michigan, to
Mackinaw and the Sault. The Company is
composed of men interested in the lake
marine has capital stock Of So, 900; and
expects TO finish the line in working order
in about two months.
The most dangerous part of navigation
on the upper lakes IS now provided for.
No steamer need leave the Sault or Mar
quette, to be dashed on the Pictured Rocks
by a storm of whose approach they were
ignorant But the line should be extended
to the Head Of the Lake. Cannot lake
shore towns take stock in such an enter
prise?

THE PRESS on THE u. d ST p FLASCO-
THINGS WILL Be LIVELY ron
THE COMPANY.

IhE tOJff. IN !.
We have read with no ordinary interest,
the comments of the State press upon the
extraordinary and unscrupuIous Conduct of
the Milwaukee & St Paul Railway Compa-
nv in reference to the ST. CroiX land grant
The La Crosse DeDeocrat says this action
has set back Wisconsin railroad work one
year; trifed with and baSely insulted the
people made consummate asses OF their
supporters in the Legislature; and shown
the Company to be a liar.
The Hudson Democrat refers to the po-
sition in which the solemn and repeated as
surances of the representatives of the road
places it before the people and succeeding
legislatures, and says the execrations of a
state ought to, and will follow the promise
breakers.
The La Crosse Republican says the peo
pie in the northwestern part OF the state
have spent time and money to save the
grant to the state, and now to have it lost
to them and the state is little better than
downright robbery.
The Waukesha Freeman says that in
view of the fact that the grant could have
been otherwise advantageously disposed of,
had not the St Paal Company made the
pledges it did, such an action would seem
to be as near swindle as is usually attain
ed without legal liability.
The Milwaukee Sentinel says the result
is not very complimentary to the good
sense of the Nil. g ST p. managers. The
Company should have known last winter
while contending for the grant, whether or
not, it was going TO be able to comply with
the terms upon which it secured it.
The Madison Democrat says that after
last winters strenuous efforts, the reasons
given for refusal will strike the ordinary
mind not only as ill-founded, but as ludi-
erous in the extreme. They are mere
twaddle, and the impudence of the Compa-
ny is cumulative in saying at last that the
requirements OF the legislature were too
hard The bill as passed was drawn up by
the Attorney of the road, and subscribed
to by the moguls of that corporation.
The Eau Claire Free Press says ii seems
strange to use the words declined or retus-
ed, when the grant was conferred on the
Company at It's own solicitation, with the
express understanding that It's terms would
be complied with. The refusal was an act
of treachery unworthy of a great company,
and for which they will sooner or later be
sorry.

While our government necessarily fails
TO do many things for the public welfare
that can be done by more despotic govern
ments, as regulating travel &c, it is yet
fully up with the times in the matter of
scientific research. With every Govern
ment expedition go the scientific gentlemen.
The army officers too, are many of them
able scientists. Interesting reports from
the above corps may be looked for, in res
pect to the Y Yellowstone district.
