A VERY pretty custom is that which
prevails among the farmers in Norway,
every one of whom considers it bounden
duty to erect on his premises what are
called julenegs, which are wooden posts
with the tops covered with heavy sheayes
of oat cars. These julenegs arc erected
as a thank Offering to the birds, which
during the summer and autumn protect
the farmers crops from the ravages Of
the noxious insects. With us the ma
jority of farmers, instead of feeding their
little feathercd friends in summer, set
traps for or shoot them, and it is not an
uncommon thing to find farmers with
strings Of robins, larks, and other insect
iverous birds exposed for sale We me-
yer see such sight without feeling that
it would be just rctribution if such farm
ers crops were eaten up by worms, flies
and grubs.

Fact is Stranger than Fiction.


While Hood was composing the Song
of the Shirt" and painting with the tints
of despair the poor seamstrcss shaving in
her garnet, mechanic almost equally
poverty stricken was working out in an
American garrett the means of her
emancipation. "In poverty, hunger and
dirt" Elias Howe, native of Massa-
chusctts, surrounded by young family,
whom he was obliged to labor for during
the day, devoted his after-hours to the
construction of Sewing Machine. This
was about the year 1871, and his career
since that period up to tho present time
affords an episode in the annals of intel
ligent labor pregnant with incidents, and
checkorcd with the lights and shades,
which afford another illustration Of the old
saying that fact is stranger than fc-
ton" judicial investigations have de-
monstrated, in the clearest manner, that
to Howe, amd to him alone belonged the
credit of inventing the first Sewing Ma
chine. His latest achievement "The
New Improved Machine" has created a
demand almost beyond the power of the
Mandatory to supply. l.. EAGLE,

A MAN WHO NEVER OWED MORE THAN
FIVE CENrs.-A correspondent of the
Fredericksburg Ledger, writing from
Essex county, mentions the death of a
a remarkable and worthy old gentleman
of Richmond county, Mr.. John Il. Sis
son, in the eghtieth year of his age. He
was an Industrious man, and had accu-
INFLATED some property. which he left to
his only daughter. lie was soldier
in the war of 1872. He often remarked
that he never owed anyone but five cents
during the eighty years Of his life, and
that was a balance on a bill Of goods pur-
chased of old Mr.. HUT, deceased, ia
Their of Solomon s. HUT. He said he
could not sleep that night because of his
owing five cents, and he got up very
early the next morning, went to see Mr..
HUT, and paid the five cents. Never
before or afterwards did he owe any per-
son one cent.

WELLS, AND WHY We SINK FOR THEM
The district between the ST. Louis aud
Nemadii rivers, the bay OF Superior and the
dicide the latter extending from the Dales
of the St Louis to Black River Falls, is a
paralleIism, about ten miles wide at the bay
Of Superior and twenty along the divide, or
rather its northeastern slope.
This district is of recent deposit, the sur
face an inclined plane, whose bay end is
thirty, and rear about four hundred feet
above the Lake, and about twenty five miles
in length; it is stratified in alterations of
clay, sand, or gravel, the latter more or less
cellular. The upper ones Of the latter have
been cut off by the abrasion Of creeks such
as Pokegama and Clear creek running
across the plane into the rivers. Hence a
cellular stratum carrying a water course
whose fountain is on or in the divide must
pass beneath the beds of the creeks, that of
Pokegama being below the bay surface,
and cutting off the sub-distrct of about four
by ten miles upon which Superior is situate.
In view of these facts we may assume
that Il cellular stratum carrying a supply of
water will be found at depth Of from $50
to 200 feet.
The next consideration is, will such stra-
tum contain force to elevate the water to
our wants, fifty or a hundred feet above the
surface?
The answer is bore and find out. The
possibility, not to say probability, is in ia
yor Of trying the experiment.
To our sorrow we have found one Of the
stratums closed, and holding some water
and a large amount of poisonous gas; its
lake exit must have been somewhat closed.
Z lower stratum, having its lake end closed
and indurated in the lake bed, we may hope
viii contain the force In question.
Before expanding any more money and
valuable lives in trying to get water from
our cut-of stratums, it would be at least
philosophical to bore 200 or 800 feet.

WISCONSIN NEwsPAPERs.-The Popular
Science Monthly thus notices the indica-
tons of growth in our state: " The state OF
Wisconsin is but just Of age, having emerg-
ed from It's territorial infancy and entered
upon its sovereignty only twenty-five years
AGO This is bat a short period in the life
time Of an independent political commn-
nifty, We. much has been done within that
PERIOD to give the state an impulse in the
direction of civilized development. Taking
journalism as a standard, the number OF
newspapers printed in Wisconsin in 1870
was no less than l?4-of which six were
monthly, l semi monthly, II daily and
weekly, and l53 weekly" 1t is gratifying
to have our western growth in literary ways
so fIatteringly recognized by one of the
leading Journals of the land. y number OF
new journals and periodicals have lately
been AIDED to the list, in Milwaukee and
elsewhere, so that the total viii figure ul
much higher now than in 1870.

LETTER FROM THE STATE C4PITAL.
MADISON, Feb 2nd, 1873

MADISON, Feb. Ind, 1873.
Editor Superior Times; No subject has occupied
reporters for the press for few days than the
future of SUPERIOR and none has been less clearly de-
fined each has chameleonike taken the hue of his
surroundings; and of all who have attempted to dis
cuss it, evince more lively interest than the
late favored ones of the Zenith City. Puncturing
overstrained bladders gives forth peculiar sound,
which ceases when the collapse has taken place, and
the efforts of Duluth papers and the prolonged wall of
the man of brains who brought to Duluth all it
had is indicative Of the bursting of that bubble.
The promised action of our legislature in the dispo-
stion of the St. Croix grant, is take definite
FORM as the two aspirants come nearer the time of
meeting of the Joint r. r. committee, (Which is
fixed for Wednesday next) they completing the
provisions of their bills The haste which character
lied the introduction of the late bill to confer the
grant upon the North Wisconsin r. R. Co is indca-
tive of the ferceness of the struggle and the absence
of the conditions requiring the grading of road from
SUPERIOR an inadvertence which our member as
sures me will be corrected by its introduction when
the bill is reported
Universally it is conceded that the Importance of
prompt connection with the n. Pacific at Superior
VI
the whole line is understood to be the extreme
limit that will be allowed any company who shall
get the grant
When the detailed result of Gov. Washburn's mis-
sion Washington is known, it Will give impetus
to all movements of the Co. receiving the grant. The
Governor is expected tomorrow, and from his return
will date the rapid development of the questions
in every mind as to what will be his requirements of
the Co. obtaining the grant guaranteeing the con-
struction of the grant road. All the attachments to
bills are by many deemed superfuous and not binding
in law The ventilation of every question before the
committees will be of unusual interest and | shall
communicate them the several counsel that
are understood to be preparing to address the COM
mittee, have done
4 I regret that we often reminded that our flu
we'll assured by the efforts of the Governor and
the of the last legislature Our member could DO
more for us if so many demands not pressed up
on him. 4 road in the shortest time practicable, and
an honorable adjustment of the harbor question re-
quring the absence of the Governor at this time, is
deemed a fair share of public attention for US.

FooD FOR CoSTEMPLATIoN.-Can any one
doubt the future greatness Of the Upper
Peninsula, when il is understood that the
copper region alone has produced, under
the most disadvantages circumstances, up
to this time, over $40 ,0oo, 900 worth of met
al, while the iron product of the Marquette
district from 1856 to 1872 represents in mon
ey over $4,000, 900? Here we have one
HUNDRED AND TWENTY 'sILLions of dollars
as the joint off5ring of two districts on
Lake Superior, the mineral bearing territory
