The Detroit News says: Mr. Chandler
organ pays its respects to the grangers as
follows
:" First prize for the State Fair of 1S75-brass
medal for the biggest crop OF wild oats harvest

But what may be SAID OF the crop harvested
by Mr. Chandler and the Post on the same
celebrated occasion? The above falls far short
of doing justice to the case; it ignores the fact
that the grangers raised n It only a fine crop
of oats on their own account, but also raised

The snow storm which set in Tuesday
night of last week and continued throughout
Wednesday was the ssverest known in this
section for years. For three days railroad
travel was pretty generally impeded from
all directions. No trains reached here
from any point except from Milwaukee and
we became quite thoroughly isolated from
the rest of the world. The roads in the
country were so badly drifted that no farm
ers pretended to come to town for several
days, making our streets quite deserted and
creating dull time among the merchants
The Lake Mills stage only succeeded in
reaching here the third day after the storm
although several attempts were made, but
the snow drifts prevented anything in the
shape Of staging. The trains have resumed
running with regularity and the roads are
now getting opened around US so that we
shall be soon back to our former status -
