THE LANCASTER LYCEUM-An ex-
ceileut variety OF exercises by the
members cf the Lyceum last Monday
evening was witnessed by very
large audience. The entertainment
began and closed wita music. AdoIph
Borah delivered defamation, and
Miss Phillips a recitation. The ques-
ton, Should there be an educational
qualification for voters? was dis
oussed by VIM. Lewis, Arthur Sher.
man and Richard Fslley, on the
affirmative. and Harry elise, Adolph
Schreiner and Arthur Page, on the
negative. For youths, tho question
was ably handled 1t is a question
that has had great deal of consid-
Grafton by older heads, and the tet-
Ter and more intelligent classes have
generally been Of the opinion that no
man should be allowed 90 vote who
cannot read aud write. But the de-
veIopments of the present times in
dicate that moral qualification is
moro necessary than alphabetical or
numerical competency. The man
who is restrained from evil only by
fear of the halter or the dungeon
should not have the power over those
who do right for rights sake, which
his vote gives him. Book learning
without moral training makes many
rascaIs.

Blakes' Prairie Grange Resolutions.

WaEREAs, The substitution of the 'Vanee
Bill' for the Potter Law has handed over the
people of Wisconsin to the mercy of the rail
roads, and practically abandoned legislative
restriction by the State, aud whereas, Senator
0. c. Hathaway in writing pledged himself to
this Grange, and personally to his constisus
ents, during his canvass TO vote for and sus-
tain Legislative restrictions" by the State
alias the Potter Law. and whereas, he has by
his vote for said Vance Bill violated his
pledges to this Grange and his constituents,
thereby forfeiting our confidence and respect
as legisla tor and representative OF the people,
Therefore ,~esolued, That we hereby request
him to resign lis Office as Senator of this dis
trict.
And whereas, tire Hon. VIM. J. Mccoy,
member of Assembly from thisdistrct, by the
fulflment of his pledges to this Grange, to
vote for and use his influence TO sustain the
Potter Law and the legislative control OF rail-
roads by the State, merits our conscience ana
respect.
Therefore resolved, That we honor hm who
truly represents the people, and condemn hin
who betrays our solemn trust and confidence
as legislator. All honor TO peoples body
guard, the noble $50" of the Assembly, and
the lion hearted ~" of the Senate.
RESOLVED, That copy Of these resolutions
be sent for publication to the Grant County
HERALD.

. To the Public.

We wish to call the attention of the Pubiic
to the fact that we are manufacturing buggies
which are second to none in market, and SELL
ing them as cheap as frst-class work can
possibly be sold. We are aware that the
country is being flooded with cheap shoddy
work, and sold with no guarantee or with one
that is worthless No man can afford to buy
poor buggy, as it is an article that costs con-
siderable money. The difference in the cost
between good and poor buggy is of minor
Importance when you connt what it costs to
keep poor buggy in repair. After buggy is
painted no man can tell what it is made Of;
it covers nearly ell of the imperiections, and
when this cheap shoddy work begins to fail
which is generally the first year; for they can
be made of nothing but the cheapest of ma
terial-they are soon gone, and if parties have
no reliable guarantee they are not safe in buy
ing. We manufacture carriages and buggles
of every style and description. Our work is
all made of second growth hickory, and ironed
with Norway iron, and painted in the best pos
sible manner, and all we ask is for parties
wishing to purchase to come and examine our
finished work, work in course of construction,
our timber. and stock of every description,
and if they do not find everything just as we
represent it, we will pay them for their trouble
and expenses. HOUGH l. co.

The Storm East of Hazel Green.

The following account of devus-
tation by the Hazel Green tornado, as
it passed through Lafayette County,
we take from the Darlington Repub-
licdn
The wind struck the house and
barn of John w. Knautz, five miles
west of Darlington, on the Elk Grove
road, at about 5:15 in the afternoon.
1t tore away the gable end of the
house, the chimney, and adjoining
shanty, porch and wood house. 1t
moved the barn fifteen feet from the
foundation, tore the roof off, and de-
molished it entirely. Six horses were
in the basement of this barn, but,
strange to say were uninjured. The
other barn was destroyed, including
its contents, consisting of large
amount of grain, reaper, wagon, bug
CIV, and other farm machinery. A
number of csttle were in the lane at
the time. Two cows and two calves
were killed three other cows were
rolled over and over in the mud, until
they were unable to get up. Eight
apple trees were destroyed, every
tree being twisted off, Hardly yes
tage of fence is left on the place.
Three miles southwest of the
above named place, Mrs. McDeyitt's
house was blown down and de.
stroyed, including clothing, provis-
ions, and sill its contents. Mrs. Nc
Dewitt was hurt, but not seriously.
The house and everything on the
place was torn to slivers and shreds,
and the great wonder is that any one
survived TO tell the tale.
Henry Bond. who lives three miles
west of this village, was with his
family in the house when the storm
came up. The door was blown open,

TRIED FOR House STEALING.-T. S.
Coffin vas tried the past week, in
the Circuit Court, for the larceney of
horse and buggy belonging to Sam
Griffith, of PlatteVille. Considerable
sensational interest began on the
evening the trial opened, when
Griffith made a shameful confession
and continued until Coffin's convic-
ton on Tuesday evening. Last
Summer Coffin and Griffith made
acquaintance. Griffith owned nag

day they went ont into Iowa, through

later Coffin was at Adel, Iowa, which

alarmed aud sent circulars, dispatches
and rewards after Coffin. Thee

He was brought here and has been in

defended by M. Bushnell and Mr..
Barber Coffin, according to Mr..
Carter, assumed the mastery of his
own case, and, notwithstanding the
shire " dness accredited to the little
licentiate re believe he badly prejud-
iced it. He showed that If he didn't
mean to steal the horse he at least
deserved confinement on general
principles. La the afternoon Mr..
Bushnell made an earnest plea in his
behalf and was confident Of success.
Mr.. Barber urged his innocence and
Beecher's guilt with great zeal.
This makes Beecher's fifth trial and
he isn't convicted yet. Mr. Carter

when Coffin had the horse by the

A MYSTERIOUS BoX.-A funny in.
cident occurred at Hazel Green, short
ly after the terrible visitation of the
10th inst. A box was found in III.
Mayors yard, which, on being opened,
was said to contain several suits Of
fancy colored clothing. They were
examined closely by several, and
none seemed to know who the arti-
Giles belonged to, or what they were
for. 1t was finally decided that the
clothing must have been part of the
paraphanalia of travelling circus
company that had been oveataken by
the storm in some distant State, and
that the box had been carried thro'
the air and landed in Mr.. Mayors
yard. While the speculation was
going on, 9 we!l-known Odd Fellow
who was passing by, claimed the
property as belonging to his Encamp-
ment, and picking up the box, carried
it to his own house for safe keeping
