MILLS.
There is but one Touring mill in the
county. Progress Mills at Buffalo, ten
miles below the county seat. 1t must,
therefore, be seen that at or near Win

for a Touring mill Of even the greatest
capacity. Plenty of wheat; plenty of

says the household manners of Napo.
leon were those of boor. "When the
established hour for dining at Malmai-
son was six O'Clock, and, though eti.
quette forbade any one to approach the
table before the announcement of the
head of the house, he often failed to ap:
pear before seven, eight, or even ten
O'Clock A chicken or some other ar.
ticle was placed ON the spit every fifteen
minutes by order of the cook, who
knew well the habits of the Emperor
The table manners of Napoleon may
have been those of the hero; they were
certainly any thing but those of the
gentleman. He completed the process
of cramming-it could scarcely be call
ed eating-in six or seven minutes, as 8
rule. Ignoring the use of knives and
forks as regarded his own plate, he did
not stop there, but helped himself with
his fingers from the dishes nearest him
and dipped his bread in the gravy"

sA proposition is undergoing dis.
-cussion among Democratic members OF
the Legislature, to re-district the State fol
Congressional purposes.
Our views upon that subject are deci.
ded. and easily defined.
The Republican Legislature gerryman,
dered the districting in such way as to
cheat the Democrats out Of the proper
zion of Members Of Congress to Which
they we're fairly entitled II the present
Legislature merely rectiies that wrong, il
will be doing exactly right. II, however
it attempts to gcrrymander tue Republi
cans out of their fair share of Members
it will merit the same reproach which it
predecessor received.
The best people of both parties vii
approve an act giving to each party Con
gressmen in proportion to its numbers

eEThe Temperance Movement in

We areof those who think that we
have no liquor venders in our town SO

VIII LIAM, you are right.

w There is lesson in the suppress
sion of two of the chief newspapers OF
Europe-the Univers, of Paris, aud the
Faterldnd, of Vienna.
In every nation of continental Europe,
government undertakes the surveillance
of newspapers. Very naturally, there.
fore, what the papers may say is presum-
ed to be with the knowledge and consent
of the government in whose jurisdiction
they arc published. AS consequence
when the Unirers denounced Germany,
BISMARCK complained to the French au.
thorities, and the result is, that paper is
suppressed. BY like process, and fol
its strong, perhaps violent Catholic pro-
clivities, the same potentate caused the
Tatertdnd to be suppressed.
1t is well that our government is mol
held responsible for what its newspapers
may say; were it otherwise,we would be
at war with nearly every nation or
earth.

"He who would thrive must rise'at fvs.n
So says the proverb, though there il
more rhyme than reason in it, for if
He who would thrive must rise at five,
it must naturally follow,
He who'd thrive more must rise at four; ].
and it will insure consequence that,
He who'd still more thriving be
Must leave his bed at turn of three;
And who this latter would outdo,
Will ronse him at the stroke of two
/ And bv way of climax to it all, il
should he held good that
He who'd never be ontdone,
Must ever rise as soon as one.
But the best illustration would be
He who'd flourish best of all,
Should never go to bed at all.
