MR.. FISHER.

1t has been 10 Us painful necessity
which constrained us to oppose the nomi-
nation OF Louis Z. Fisher, Esq, for Gov
ernor. But we did SO simply because
we were profoundly convinced that he
would not. if nominated, receive the
support of that large element to which
alone we were obliged to look for sue
cess. We felt, too, that he would be
held answerable for every unfortunate
expression which had appeared in the
old. Pioneer during his connection with
ii; and that our campaign would there
fore have been defensive instead OF
an aggressive one from the very start.
There was no personal hostility to Sir.
Fisher in the Convention: it WIS a
mere question of the possibility of sue
cess, and it was believed that Mr. Buell.
had a better chance to win than any other
man in the state. And this feeling nomi-
na;ed him.

off 100000 of useiess taxation; we
will produce splendid results. to which
the Anti Monopollsts can point, and say ::
"Without US, you could not have &C.
complished these things. See to it that
you DO your whole duty, or you cannot
have our support hereafter. We will
veto you if you 60 back on the pledges
you have made to the people"
In this way the 10000 Autobiography
votes become tremendous power in the
State, and cannot fail to enforce respect
and compel reform. For this reason,
and this alone, we entered the Opposition
convention as a delegate, and labored to
nominate ticket which Anti Monopo-
lists could support.
And SO we say to our friends, attend
that Owatonna convention. Make it d
splendid success. Counsel together 10
u candid and dispassionatc spirit; and
unless there is something in the record
OF the men nominated on the 9TH inst,
repugnant to your principles, give them
your endorsement and hearty support.
Buell. you can certainly support. He is
farmer, Granger, an Anti Monopo-
list, and an honest man. If you can
help to make him Governor, it will be
in itself, a mighty triumph, productive
OF far-reaching consequences.
Whatever you do keep up your or
ganization; put your speakers into the
field, and wage a vigorous war against
the enemies of the people.
The Republican party are in authori-
ty; they have misgoverned the country,
but, we admit, with no intention on the
part OF the masses of that party to so
misgovern it. They must be dislodged
from their fortified places If the
Democratic-Liberal- Republican party at
tack their camp from the right. and the
attack it from the left,
each having the same object in view, but
fighting under different banners, they
are necessarily in some sense, allies.
Let them treat each other with the kind
ly forbearance and in the tolerant spirit
which becomes allies. Wherever in
local affairs they can coalesce, they
should by all means do so.
The ANTI MoNoPOLIsr will trv to do

ward than to see the sun of the I'd of

good deal of complaint and misrepre-
sentation; he expects it; and abuse has
been to him so long steady article of
diet that, like an opium eater, his sys-
tenn would sink without the necessary
stimulus. All he asks is that those who
are not positively hostile will believe
that he means we'll. and is laboring tor

Greek rhetorician called "Heraclites the
Obscure profound but vague writer.
Some one asked philosopher what he
thought OF his works. He replied,

the ANTI-MoNoPoLIsr is working steadi-
ly towards the right. and for the truth.
whether they understand it or not.

Murder Most FOuI.
(From Moorefeld Courier aud Adpert;.

{Fr0m Aoorefeld Courier aud Advertiser. J
In the discharge of our duties as
a journalist, we are called upon to
announce the fact that cold
blo0ded murder has been commit
ted in our very midst. Some two
weeks since we gave the facts of
the disappearance of Mr.. Till Will
burn, who resides some 8 miles
east of this place, on the Wardens-
vile pike. Since then dilligent
search has been made for his re-
mains, but up 20 Wednesday even
ing, no clue to his whereabouts
had been obtained.
On Thursday morning last a
number of citizens ofhis neighbor-
hood determined to make another
earch for the missing man, and
for that purpose assembled at
Mr.. Wilburn's late residence
The finding Of the axe ofthe miss
ing man some distance from the
place where he had gone to work,
convinced many that Mr.. w. had
been ordered, and hence the per-
sistent Efforts made to find his
body.
Mr.. William Hawse and three
other gentlemen. having heard
that a hunt would be made Thurs
day for the body of Mr.. Wilburn,
determined to join the party, and
for this purpose started in direct
line across the mountain to Mr..
Wilburn's home, and on their
way, near the head Of deep hol-
low, which leads down to Mr..
WIS they Unexpectedly came upon
his body lying with his feet in the
run, and his head resting against
a small sapling, the right hand
lying across the heart, and the left
arm stretched by his side.
Mr.. Wilburn was shot with RI
file, the ball entering below and be-
hind the right ear, and passing up
through the brain, aad coming
out at the left temple. Several
bruises on the forehead, it is sup
posed were caused by the fall when
shot. The shot was such as to
prove instantly fatal. Mr.. Fred
rick Bean, to whom circumstances
point as the perpetrator of this
foul and unatural murder, was ar
rested, and is now confined In Jail
to await hearing.

Wanted to Sell.

Anybody wishing to speculate
in real estate can buy house in
New York cheap. 1t is situated
between two churches that have
clocks and that's the reason Mr..
Johnson wants to sell ii. One of
these is invariably a second ortwo
behind the other; consequently
when Johnson stops out until one
O'Clock, as he often does, Mrs. j.
says to him, as each one of the
clocks strike one:
"There! A nice time for a mar
ried man TO come home--twO
o'clock !"
Johnson, like the gay old sport
that he is, thought he might as well
stay out until two, inasmuch as he
got the blame forit. So he stayed,
and Mrs Johnson stayed too, stay
cd up until he got in, and made
him listen until tie clocks struck
four. Then she threatened to go
to her mother or get her ma to
come and live with her, as II was
impossible to live all alone in the
house. This kind of frightened
the old fellow so he came in the
next night before twelve O'Clock
and as those clocks commenced a
duet at twelve and jingled out
twenty-four strokes, he looked at
his wife with Smile,as if TO say
Now I've got you J"
She began To cry, and said he
stayed out unti cali hours Thus
it is that johnson is grieved and
wishes to dispose of his property.

Cold ssSnaps'' of a Thousand
Years.

entirely frozen over for twenty
days. In 462, the Oar ube was freq
en- so that Theadmane marched oil

brothers. death. In 1862, the cold
was so intense that the strait of
Dardanelles and Euxine Sea were
entirely frozen over. The snow in
some places drifted to the depth of
fifty feet, and the ice was heaped
in such quantities in the cities, as
to cause the walls to fall down. In
$50 the Adriatic was entirely freq
en- over. In 891 and 1913 the vines
were killed by the frost, and the
cattle died In their stalls. In 99l
the winter lasted very long. and
was extremely severe, everything
was frozen, and famine and pesti-
lence closed the year. In 1885, u
frost in England on midsummer
day destroyed the fruits Of the
earth. In 1868, the Thames was
frozen for fourteen weeks. In 1867
the cold was so extreme that most
of the travellers in Germany were
frozen TO death on the roadS In
1888, it was excessively cold in It
ally the Pc was foZen from Cremor
ne to the sea the heaps of snow
rendered the roads impossible; the
wine casks burst, and trees split by
the frost with great noise. In 1884

in Italy were frozen over. In 146S
the winter was so severe in Flan-
ders, that the wine was cut with
hatchets to be distributed to the
