very satisfactory result would arise from a
free use of English reading at home. Parents
should require their children to read aloud

say English because that Is the language they

Pierce county has no man to pre-

eminently above the rest. She has no
man to present who can secure the

fortunate in having but two lawyers,

Frazier fully agreeing with himself

THE JUDGESHIP.

Upon the resignation of Judge
Humphrey, an event now likely to oc-
cur, some gentleman in this Circuit
will 10y the Governor, be appointed 10
ill his place, such appointment being
good till some other gentleman is
elected and qualified; and the gentle
man so elected will hold the office
during the mexpired term, or until
the first day of January, 1879. An
election is. therefore. likely to occur
in April. 1877, and another in April,
1873. If. however, no election should
be ordered in April next, the appoint
ee will hold his Office until an cleo
ton shall lie held in 1878. when it will
be necessary to elect to fill the unex-
pired term, and, also, the full term,
commencing Jan. !, 1879.
At present this Circuit - composed
of the counties OF Pierce. st. Croix,
Dunn and Pepin, and out of some one
of these counties will be selected our
next Circuit Judge. I'm this selection
the question of locality may arise.
Not that it should impair, or add to,
the merits OF the incumbent. since any
man appointed, or elected, TO ill the
office, will of course, make his home
at place i'm the Circuit which may
seem To he the most convenient, all
things considered. Bnt, since it is
true that the "hOnOrs of the Circuit"
have thus far been conferred upon a
citizen of the st. Croix Valley, il will
not surprise us if the Chippewa Valley
people should suggest that their claims
might merit. some attention. II SO we
are clearly OF the opinion that such a
suggestion should he heedoj.

James ID. Williams.

The exceedingly tall gentleman
whose haf1e appears above, md WHO
prides himself ON his six feet. four or
FIVE inches of length, all clad in a suit
of blue jeans. was nominated by the
Democrats on Wednesday last as their
candidate for Governor. Mr.. Williams
is n member of the present House of
Representatives and has attained con-
siderable notoriety, because of his alti-
tude. 1.-The longest pole knocks the
persimmOns. and hence the nomina-
ton; but the persimmons will be green
ones, and intensely astringent. The
ripe fruitage will fall into the hands of
Judge Orth.
1t is only the truth to say that when
the convention assembled, there was
not solitary delegate who expected
such nomination; and that it covers
them like an exceedingly wet and cold
blanket is but natural. If no bargain
had been made with Landers to the eff
feet that he should have the nominal
tion if chosen by the Independents,
Holman would have been the man.
Those Democratic newspapers that
sneered at Landers' strength, will pro
badly now see that he was at least strong
enough to prevent Holman's nomina
ton. His friends will he apt to be
/ lieve for IL Is the simple truth. that he
has been treated rather shabbily. The
nomination of Williams is like putting
down a smooth pavement on the road

There is not doubt that Holman
WAS used at the Democratic Stat con-
vention merely for the purpose of des-
troying Landers. Without III, Imam
name in the convention, Landers would
certainly have been nominated, and his
nomination would have been fearful

Holman, AID with, or without his con-
nisance, it WAS successfully accom-
plished. Nor was it intended that IIol-
man should he the candidate, for he
was clearly nominated OH the first bal
lot; but counted out, showing that he
was only t. be used To defeat Ldnders,
which is further indicated by the fact
that his telegram announcing that he
was not candidate was hello twelve
hours by John Il. Williams, WAS shown
to but one man, Col. Slack, and was not
named in the convention until after
Landers had personally withdrawn his
name. Such methods in a Republican
convention would be considered dis

taken place IN a Democratic conven-
ton it will be regarded as an able piece
of strategy, my boy"

Buried in a Wpll--A Marvellous Escape
From Death.

Louis Becker. son OF Jeremiah

narrow escape from n horrible death
on Tuesday. week. Upon the place
on which Mr.. Becker lives, was an
old we'll 96 feet deep, which had gone
dry. Mr.. B.. fearing some accident
To his family or stock. and being
somewhat further spurred up by Ii
dream in which some terrible calami-
ty had occurred from the open well,
determined upon filling it mp. Ac-
cOrdingly. on Tuesday. week, he and
his son Louis set TO work hauling
logs, stone. brush and other material
with which they filled the hole until
within n few feet from the surface
when it was thought advisable to
save some top bricks OF the curbing.
and Louis consequently descended
the hole for the purpose. His weight
caused the debris to settle fully four
feet deeper, and at the same time dis
lodging the earth around the well.
which. without moments warning.
or chance to avoid. caved in upon
the unfortunate youth, covering him
completely from sight. His father
was paralyzed with horror at first and
scarcely knew how to proceed, but
calling 10 his two younger sons. and
To his kind neighbors. Dan and Fred
Ort, they set hastily to work To res
cue the young man. They were OBJ
| IiSed TO work with great care for fear
of injuring the boy. by causing more
earth TO fall in, CT making it settle
/ closer around his head. A hoe handle
was run down through the loose
earth, making n sort OF air-hoie
through which a little air could be
breathed by the boy. and through
which they could hear him family
speaking. They worked carefully
and diligently, bat in spite Of their
speed, it was fully an hour before his
head was uncovered, and he was
dragged out considerably suffocated
and bruised. but alive and without
serious injuries. 1t is most remark
able that he shonld have been able tn
retain his consciousness through his
fdarful Imprisonment, and altogether
it was "A most remarkable and fortu-
nate escape.
