The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1876-09-28

Mr.. Roberts, of the Milwaukee
Seminal, was in Kenosha last Monday
and favored us with a call. He
speaks encouragingly ofthe Republi-
can prospects saying that the people
ofthe country are not willing to
surrender the government to the
rebels by the election of Tilden and
Hendricks. He thinks the Republi-
cans will carry Wisconsin by 10000
majority.
The above article was printed in
the TELEGRAPH last week, with the
provoking substitution of Hayes and
Wheeler for Tilden and Hendricks.
and the mistake was not discovered
till after the papers were printed.
THE NEW NJ. E. Church which was noticed in
{ he TELEGRAPH last week is at Wilmot.
The writer ofthe notice had written us ordering
some job-work and had dated his letter Wiimot
After completing the letter he wrote the notice as
1t appeared. Arriving just before going to pres.
it was handed to the compositor without notice
ing that the place where the church was beips
built was left out and consequently it wal
not supplied.
The notice should have commenced, TIE new
81. E. Church at Wlmot.

A Flying Visit.

We made visit to Washington on
Wednesday, and while there found
time to drop in the on Honorable Sen
ators. The question of referring the
resolution of Senator Davis in regard
to discrepancy in the accounts OF the
Treasurer, was being discussed, and
Senator Davis maintained himself
Gc,lan.ly IL running debate with
such able Senators on the opposite
side as Dawes, Sherman, Boutwell,
and others. The matter finally went
over as unfinished business, land SEN
ator Morton commenced the delivery
of his speech on the Miss issippi cleo
ton. We did not remain to hear
him through.
During our brief stay we met Col.
Ward III. Lamon, Col. f. A Burr, j.
S. Haldeman, w. f. Geyer and T.
M. French, who were particularly
kind in their attentions. We also
met .. S. Long, Esq, of Wheeling,
who is stopping in that city for a

pleasure OF meeting our friends, L.
A. Luce and III. III. Blackburn, Esqs.
Martinsburg is getting to be pretty
well represented in Washington, land
we hope our friends are finding it a
fruitful field, and may reap rich re-
wards in their different avocations of
life.

Nearly month of Leap Year has
come and gone, and but few of our
Martinsburg girls have engaged in
matrimonial duties. We thought
that some of our dashing young la
dies would commence making offers
at once, but in this, like many other
things we have been doomed to dis
appointment. Can it be that our
girls don't want husbands, or are
the fellows about town not worth
asking for ? Itmay be, and we think
it is very likely. that the girls are al
ready ON the way towards the blissful
state of matrimony, and we hope it
may be so. But if is, then what are
all the bashful fellows to do, those
fellows who cannot converse intelli-
gibly when they are in the company
of brilliant and sparkling ladies, and
who feel all the fortunes of the ten
der passion without being able to ex-
press their love or even admiration.
These poor unfortunates have been
anXiously and patiently awaiting the
arrival of leap year, and now the girls
won't help them out of their embar-
RAISING positions. If the girls are
hanging back in the expectation of
catching noble foreigner among
the many that Will visit the centen-
NAL, then we think their ambition
far exceeds their good sense, for these
Industrious titled personages are Of
ten impecunious French cooks or
BARRIERS, or italian organ grinders
There are lots of good fellows in
town who want wives, and the girls
can have their pick if they want
to. 1t would be jolly good fun for a
girl to propose to you, more especial
ly if she was smart, pretty and amia-
BILE las all our Martinsburg girls are)
1t wouldn't bequite so funny for the
girl, however, if, after she had "pop-
ped the question" the fellow should
say mamma says am too young,"
Or.' i am not ready to marry yet, but
Ishall always regard you as uery
dear friend. Oh, no, that's not so
nice, but it's down on the bills, and
the programme is often carried out
to the letter. A Pennsylvania girl
comes out in q card in the newspa-
pers, says she is good-lookipg, hard
working, etc. land asks the marriage
able young men to step up aud claim
her hand, or she says she will do the
stepping up" herself if hint is
given her. Now that girl means
business, and the fellow that gets
her 1--WE mean the fellow that she
gets will never have any trouble in
finding out who will boss that fami-
ly, or who will make the fires on a
cold morning.

were sheep, three-lifths of the re-
Dainder were hogs, and the residue
calves; and if he could sell his sheep

Killed His Horse for Food.

A correspondent OF the Idaho
World gives particulars Of the terri
BILE hardships endured by a man
named Charles Stearing, VINO left
South Mountain last Spring, and
passed the summer prospecting on
Snake river. 1t appears that. several
weeks ago he crossed the mountains
from the Payette on his way to his
home in Camas prairie, Idaho coun-
ty. While pursuing his way alone
in the mountains, away out beyond
the Payette, he was taken with pain
in his side and unable to travel for
several days. He had a limited guam
tity of provisions, and had to kill his
horse to supply himself with food.
He had nothing in the shape of
arms except pocket knife, and that
he broke whiting kindling wood
When his provisions gave out he tied
the broken knife on the back of an
old comb, and killed and skinned his
horse with it. 1t took him 1--WE days
to cross Packer Johns mountains, q
distance of about eighteen miles and
during these five days he had nothing
to eat and no blankets, having in his
sickness burned his blankets and all
extra clothing to start his fires. HE
wandered about in the snow, and O.
length arrived at the habitation of
Scribner and Wallace, in the vicinity
of the Copeland diggings, as nearly
as we are able to judge from the let
ter published in the World. He was
in a wretched plight, his hands and
feet being badly frozen.
