RESOLUTIONS OF BLOOMINGTON
GRANGE,
Witness on the stAnd-One OF Facts and
Figures, not an Editor.

WHEREAS, The four great lines of railways
leading east, by their agreement 70 advance
freight on wheat to SO cents and corn TO about
81 cents per bushel. And, whereas, by this
rise in freight since the close of navigation
upon the wheat, corn and other crops OF these
States, if transported at all must pay fifty
millions more than they would have paid before
the closing of navigation, is showing on the
part Of the railroads of disposition to rob
the people when opportunity offers. The in
crease of business of the winter months should
lower freights rather than put them up.
WHEREAS, One of these lines, the Hudson
River and New York Central, has of fcticious
or watered stock s4s, 6s4, 200, which is $40,
l45 OF watered stock per mile the whole length
of the road, 442 miles. This watered stock
draws 81 ,0l460 interest for each mile of the
road from the pockets of the people, amount
ing annually to 81, 464, 400, and this vast
sum not represented by single dollar of real
investment.
ReSolved, That this rise in freight should be
the becoming of the farmers to wise coun sells
and acts in their own behalf
RESOLVED, That we are opposed TO the repeal
of the principles of the Potter law that re-
peal would irtually grant to the managers OF
Wisconsin roads the privilege of levying upon
the people just such rates as their greed may
dictate.
Resolved, That these resolutions and preamble
be sent TO to the Grant County HERALD and
Grant County Advocate for publication.
Signed;
JAMES PRiDEAUx, Master.

The MINES AT DUBUoUE.-The
Dubuque papers tell US of Interesting
meetings of the lead miners 10 that
region. Much of the enthusiasm
that was manifested by the miners
associations of fifteen and twenty
years ago, is again being shown. At
recent asseu bly, of miners there for
the purpose mutual cooperation and
the elioiting of facts Of interest to
the mining class it was shown that
the mines in and about Dubuque at
present rate are yielding over two
hundred thousand pounds per month.
The meeting resolved that eight hours
ought, in accordance with long estab-
llshed custom, to constitute days
work. 1t was also claimed that
nearl y all The lead ore found in this
vicinity in over forty years of min
ing had been in single strata of
the series of limestones that there
was none in upper limestone, called
the Niagara and none in the slate
below it, but was fouBd in the Galena
limestone as it had been named by
the biologists, and mainly in the up
per half of its thickness of about $50
feet that very little had been OBJ
tanned within fifty or sixty feet of
the level of the Mississippi river.

pa- The Roman Catholics ha

m-The Roman Catholics have
started a revival at GAINESVILLE, Wis
consin, where FIVE ministers of the
Servite order are exhorting the peo-
pie TO repent. One of the missionaries
is from Belgium, one from Switzer-
land, one from Bavaria, one from
Austria and one from Italy. They
hold four services daily, the first be-
ginning at FIVE o'clock in the morning
for the benefit of the workingmen.
Another is held at seven o'clock, an
other at nine, and a general meeting
at half past seven in the evening !;
when one of the missionaries delivers
a lecture. The services are attended
by such multitudes that standing room
can hardly be had.

sY-"Chirograpnio insanity" is a
ne wy coined Boston phrase, and
may be regarded as the polite term
to apply to forgery. 1t seems to
have originated in consequence of a
case in the Superior Criminal Court,
whore young man tried for forgery
was defended on the ground that he
had been out of health for some time,
and had been accustomed to spend
whole evenings in writing imaginary
checks, promissory notes, etc.

USEFUL REcIPE.-Moths will work
10 carpets kept in a warm room as
we'll in winter as summer. They
may be surely removed by pouring
scaling saturated alum water on
the floor to a distance say of half a
yard around the wall or edges of the
carpet before laying. Once or twice
during the season dry salt may be
sprinkled over the carpet before
sweeping. Insects dislike salt, and
sufficient adheres to prevent them
from alighting.
