the first Monday in February. The directors,
finding the temper of the stockholders to be
waxing uucomfortably hot and aware OF their
violation of their plain duty in not calling the
special meeting agreed to hI promise mn what was
signing the petition of December 21st should
Withdraw their signatures. On this base a
compromise was effected. The result was
reached yesterday when the agent of Barring
Bros. of London and Mr.. Russell, attorney Of
the stockholders, appeared before the Railway
Committee and requested a pOstponement Of
the hearing, assigned for tomorrow, till Feb.

This was agreed 10, and here the matter rests.
THE PROPER WAY TO WALrz-The gentle
man approaches the lady by offering his left
hand-one au fait will at the same time make
slight inclination or half-bow. The lady
places her right hand in that of the gentleman,
who then extends his right arm in direct line
to the side, the forearm bent so as to form an
acute angle. In this angle the lady will place
herself with the center line of the person OPP
posite the line Of the gentleman's right side,
both persons on parallel lines, not forming an
angle. In this position each will be looking
over the others right shoulder. and, by the
lady turning head slightly to the left, the effect
of the group will be greatly improved, and pre-
vent all possibility of taking each others
breath. The lady places her LETT hand, hooked,
upon che gentleman's right shoulder, the fin
gers appearing in 'front.' The right hand of the
gentleman should rest very gently upon the
lady's back, as near the waist as possible, so as
not to remove the upward pressure of the elbow
directly under the lady's shoulder, as this is
the lady's support, and must be held with sure
but gentle firmness. The hand on the back
should rest very lightly, and on every possible
pass between, as in some cases the close con-
mark upon the lady's dress. Both persons
should be slightly bent forward, from the hips
upward, SO that the shoulders may be only
three or four inches apart, but the distance in
creasing downward; this leaves both parties
free SO that any contact of person or knees may
be avoided as most serious mistake. The
gentieman's left hand holding the lady's right
should be extended downward in a line with
the body the hands three or four inches dis
tant from the person, the arms forming gen.
tie curve from the shoulders downward. No
weight is placed upon this arm; all the guiding
and changes must be governed by the elbow
under the lady's arm. 1t will be found that
this grouping will be perfectly modest in ap-
pearance, no more contact of person occurring
than 10 lady's taking gentleman's arm for
walking. In conclusion, let it be remembered
that purity of thought and action may be as
conspicuous in waltzing as in any other situa-
ton OF life; that the gross waltz grossly, the
vicious viciously, the refined and innocent in

In 1864, Samuel j. Tilden was not
only one of the authors, being the
chairman of the committee reporting
the same, but he was proud of the
sentiments ennnciated in the follow
ing brief paragraphs:

erty hath her aUeag gers.

conditional despOt in Abraham Lin

''NO more victims for the slaughter
pen. Not a man--nOt a dollar.
IF Seward touches his bell again,
the people will stretch has neck"
''The constitution we will obey, but
arbitrary arrests We will resist unto
death"
'.The people are ready to take ven
gence on the advocates of civil war.
''LincOln has murdered three white
men To free one negro"
Free ballots or free bullets. Crush
the fyrdRt Lincoln before he brushes
you"
And Samuel J. Tilden has not yet
repented of these sayings. He would
''crush" the best man in the nation
to-day TO give the rebellious south the
control of the government. And this,
it seems to us, is sufficient cOmmen
tary upon Mr.. Tilden-the same man

Ia this important work it is the de-
termination of its publishers, that the
JOURNAL shall do a noble part. To-
day il is a mirror for those who live
here, and a reflector to those abroad.
In its columns the people look for
every thing of Importance going on in
our midst; and, abroad, at least, its
advertising columns are perused with
as much pleasure as are its local col
umns at home. In saying this we
know whereof we affirm. We have
heard these things from the lips of
strangers. and scarcely week passes
in which we are not reminded of the
fact by letters which we receive.
In our efforts hereafter, then, we
shall expect the same encouragement
which we have heretofore received.
In our work we shall be no less faith
full, and, as before asserted, with the
same united effort, splendid future
awaits this village and the surround
ing country.

The cultivation of fruit, its adaptation

number of untried varieties into the
orchards.
Any thing and every thing that
any tree peddler offered for sale
was taken without regard to its merits

AS might naturally be expected. a
mighty flood of new varieties constant

direction from which we cannot ex'

is Il well-knOwn fact that no hardy va

while large proportion of the varie
ties originated in the north have prov

Yet,as we pass through the country
we find many trees have persisted, not
on account of lack of hardness in
themselves, but on account of being
poorly taken care of. This is one OF
the things to be looked after; pruning
is another item, time of setting out,
proper method of setting ont, fall ant

the things to be spoken of.

RANDOM THOUGHTS.
River FaIIs---The Journal.

October is come again, and few
among the many who are now here,
can remember some of the events that
marked the October, November, and
December of 1855. Yes, and the
December of the following year, which,
beyond a doubt, was the bleakest,
coolest, stOrmiest, ever known by a
white man IN this part OF Wisconsin.
But those years passed quickly, and
with them have passed many who
were then living in health and beauty,

of our childhood these scenes are pass

caught my attention was frequent

in the day. About every third load

presence of one of the fair perhaps
because it was fair day. dressed out
in her Sunday attire, and seated Oh a
sack of wheat comfortably arranged
for that purpose. Said to myself,
How much trade for the merchants
of River Falls does that mean! Much
will depend on the age of the wom-
an. If she is young, just started in
life with three or four young children,
she will be satisfied to spend that
load. and try to get through the win.

daughters wearing paper collars and
pull-backs, it will take three loads. y
This would make an average of two
loads at the rate met them. There
could not be fewer than 20 loads in the
course of the day. That would make
ladies to trade out 10 loads as
their probable amount for spending
purposes. At 40 bushels to the load
it would sum up 400 bushels. or 4OO
dollars worth. 'WhO will get the
trade :" | again asked. Our mer,
chants can discount Lord Chesterfield
in politeness, when lady comes into
their store to trade. If the price OF
the several mills is uniform, Putnam
gets every load with lady on it, for
she will want to stop at the edge OF
the town to brush up and shake out
her pin-back.
Now there has been quite debate
between these husbands and wives be-
fore this could take place. lie had
not time to haul his wheat to River
Falls, better haul to Warren, Ham

money and let her go to Hudson or st.
