The average yield of W heat in this Sec
ton will be fully twenty bushels to the acre.
Many fields are yielding over twenty-five,
while some run as low as fifteen. But the

The Albany Euening Journal says:
''Watertown, Wis, appeals to the Democrats
to hold their State Convention there, and a
local paper gravely offers as an inducement
the circumstance that there are numerous
flowing artesian fountains in the city, the
waters of which are as free as air to the
thirsty. If that attracts Wisconsin Demo-
Gratis, they must differ somewhat from the
species of animals bearing that name in this
part of the country"
"A nice arrangement has been Inaugural
ted here which makes it much pleasanter for
passengers on their arrival at our depots than

proprietor is allotted certain space at the
platform, and no runner is allowed to go

about the ''ride up town" This system
avoids all that noise, con fusion and pushing
so annoying TO people at most of places,
when they alight from trains, and it is
hoped that Watertown will be blest with its
continuance.

tifu specimen OF humanity was in boat
and as the train appro ached he deliberately
faced it and displayed his nakedness in q
most disgusting and immodest manner
The name of this lecherous rascal, believe
is known, and his case ought to receive at
tention from the railway company. There
were number of lady passengers on the
train.
