The Presidents Sons Make Little
Walk of two Hundred Miles

A Pittsburgh dispatch says: "This af-
ternoon there arrived in Pittsburgh
Ulysses Grant, Jr., and Jesse Grant,
sons of the President, Lieutenant
Harry Otis, and a son of Thomas
Murphy, exCollector of the port of
New York. The young gentlemen
were on pedestrian tour, having walk
ed all the way from Huntingdon, Pa. :,
a distance of 200 miles. and the man
ner in which they footed the distance
entities them to the rank of frst-class
pedestrians. They were unencumber-
ed by baggage, having had their trunks
expressed to this city from Huntingdon
retaining just sufficient to fill moder-
ate-sized satchel. On their first day
out they accomplished twenty-one
miles of their journey without morsel
of food from its commencement, owing
to the mountain roads traversed and
the consequent scarcity of tarmhouses.
The next and subsequent days OF their
journey they got over great deal of
ground without feeling much fatigued
and on their arrival at this city express
ed themselves as beisg able to accom-.
plish the distance again in much less
time than on the first occasion. They
were very brown and dusty, but, never
theless, very jolly, and thought the
grandeur Of the scenery of the ALE
ghcny mountains surprisingly beauti-
full, amply repaying them for their long
journey
After change of clothing and rest
of some hours here, they boarded the
cars for Washington, Pa, for the pur-
pose of visiting Mr.. Smith, nephew
of President Grant, who resides at that
place Here grand coon hunt is to
take place next week, in which the
distinguished party will participate.
Ulysses, Jr. is in the twentieth year
of his age, and recently graduated from
Harvard University. Lieutenant Otis
graduated from West Point last fall.
Murphy and Jesse are the youngest of
the pedestrians. but on this long jour.
ney proved themselves to be much
tougher tl.an their older companions.

CRANBERRY Crop IN WISCONSIN

CRANBERRY CROP IN WISCONSIN
"A couple Of weeks ago the cranber-
ry crop gave promise Of abundant yield.
Now reports come faom the principal
districts devoted to its culture. stating
that the crop will be total failure.
The cranberry worm has devastated
the marshes around Berlin, and the
excessive heat has ruined the prospects
of even an average crop in the vicinity
OF Grand Rapids. The latest advices
from the marshes in Burnett county
were of a favorable character, and there
was every reason to expect an album
dant yield; but possibly by this tune
they have shared the same tate of
marshes in the eastern and central
parts of the state. This is the third
year of failure in the cranberry crop,
and we fear it will strike severe, if
not fatal blow to that branch Of bust
ness in this state With many men
it will be "three times and out" and
perhaps with few the record will be
three times and busted."- Macison

CHANGING FRONT.

In the last Jefferson Banner Mr..
Private Secretary George W. Bird,
comes to the rescue of Mr.. Sam Rinds-
kopf, we'll known Liquor Dealer, of
Milwaukee, who now stands indicted
BY the United States Court for defraud-
lug the revenue. In his effort he hard
~ talks Ia the same strain that he did
few years ago when working in the
temperance cause in Jefferson County
in his fanatieal way, firing hearts
against everybody engaged in the
liquor traffic and abjuring all who did
not come up to the "touch not and
taste not" standard. Mr.. Bird in his
day and generation has done some
thing ia this county towards creating
spirit of luminosity among the tenn
Perance people and those opposed to
medding with the liquor question. 10
fact as CRUSADER" George was con-
sdered a success. But it appears
that this manner of action is not win
hing card for 'reformer" whose head is
restless with ambition, and now behold
him defender of Sam Rindskopf and
the whisky Interests

TEMPERANCE STATE CONVENTION.
"A convention Of the temperance
people Of the State is called to meet
at Oshkosh next month for the pur-
pose Of nominating Congressman and
recommending candidates. for the legis-
lature. Of course this meeting has the
hearty sympathy ofthe Democrats, as is
is called fer no other object in view than
the dividing Of the Republican ranks
in the coming campaign. We trust
every sound Republican will see the
thing in this light. It is only by our
dissensions that the Democrats can
have any hope of success. No one
with grain Of common sense expects
that purely temperance ticket can
ever succeed in Wisconsin. Three
fourths of the temperance people are
Republicans, and the fourth that
are democrats stick to the demo-
cratic tichet right or wrong. The
question is will the temperance Re-
pubilcans prove the instruments in
pulling the chesnuts out of the FIRE
for the democrats to feed upon :?

GOLD IN THE BLACK H1LLs.-The
New York Tribune correspondent with
the Black Hills expedition sends the
following by special scout to Fit.
HEADQUARTERS BLACK HILLS EXPEDITION, !
AUG. O.. 1874.
The country which the expedition
has trayersed has proved to be one of
the most fertile and beautiful sections
in the United States. Indications of
gold were discovered about week ago,
and within two days its presence in
sufficient quantities abundantly to re-
pay working has been established be-
yond doubt. How large an area the
gold section, covers cannot be determined
without further exploration. but the
geological characteristics ofthe country
the researches Of our prospcctors, and
all the indications point to valuable
fields. So far We have obtained
surface gold alone. Our miners hope
yet to End good quartz lead The
expiration of the Sioux treaty will open
to settlement a beautiful and highly
productive area Of country, hitherto
entirely unknown. Grass water, and
timber of several varieties are found in
abundance, and all of excellent quail
ity; small fruits abound game is plen-
tiful. The valleys are well adapted
for cattle-raising or agricultural pur-
poses, while the scenery is lovely be-

THE MAYORALTY.
Col. n. ID. Cheatham Announces Him
self rs a Candidate.

self as "a Candidate.
| hereby announce myself as candidate
for Mayor of the city at the ensuing Sep
TENDER election.
Having served the public at various times
during the past sixteen years as member
of the CITY Council and as Mayor for two
terms, IStO-L and 1872, until superseded
during the later term by the military au-
tborities, and also for many years as a
member of the Board of Education, |
think. without presumption, a knowledge
Of municipal affairs, and a familiarity with
municipal business in all IFS details, have
been acquired, which qualify me for the
Mayoralty at the present time.
In nv last term of service as Mayor, the
duties were peculiarly onerous and hafard-
Gus. 1t was a time that tried men. How,
and al what personal sacrifices and dan
oars. they were performed, the history Of
the times will record.
In making the present announcement,
have merely to state that l recognize the
stringent financial situation OF the people,
Int bear also in mind the spirit Of needful
municipal improvement.
Ifmade the chief executive officer OF the
CITY | shall neither counsel or consent to
useless or extrava9ant expenditure, but
shall encourage and carry out, to the best
of my ability, every prudent measure IN
tended for the municipal good.
There are many matters III important
municipal concern which cannot be refer
red to in this card, which, previous TO the
day of election, Propose 10 discuss freely,
frankly and cautiously, before my fellow
citizens. The present object IS simply 10
announce my candidacy, and while thank

tended TO me, to solicit their sutirages ON

THE COUNTY COURT CLERKsHIP,
Card from Jas. II. Bell.


To my Fellow-citizens of Davidcon
County: As candidate for County Court
Clerk, l feel it incumbent upon me TO ad-
dress you in this form, for the reason that
L cannot see YOU all personally. / do so
that you may know from myself who and
what l am. My life has been spent among
YOU, and the whole of it in constant
labor. The larger number of the
gray-haired men will remember me as a
boy, and never, for thirty years, have seen
me idle. BY profession mechanic, have
been true to all demands upon me, either
as employer or employee. BY my conduct
| rose from the shop, and have, for more
than twenty years, given my best efforts 10
all the interests of the county, the State,
and to the various public and private enter
prises that have advanced our people. My
labors have often been heavier as an EN-
ployer than an employee; but they have
been cheerfully given. l have held no pub
lie office, and am not a chronic ofice-seek-
er. At the last election offered for this
same office. The vote l received, though
insufficient TO elect me, was, under the
circumstances, extremely gratifying, and |
cherish the support of my friends on that
occasion with peculiar pride. j have the
assurances of many who did not support
me then, who will do so now, and feel
confident that, with small effort from my
friends, in addition to my own, which will
be unremitting, L will be elected without
doubt.
As to my integrity and competency to
discharge the duties of the Office, L do not
speak, for the reason that neither have ever
been called in question by any one.
Respectfully yours,
JAMES 7. BELL.
