KENosHA WISCONSIN, THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 1877

There is considerable timber and
some meadow,yet uplands predominant
though just dozen little lakes nestle
in Salem township; and some city peo-
pie agree with Capt. futile that these
cosy lake farm-houses are capital sum-
mer retreats. Wilmot is a thrifty vii
lage in Southeast part on the Fox.
The Touring mill Of J. W. Voak and
Son, is the leading industry though
nearly all trades and interests are rep
resented.
The Kenosha and Rockford r. r.
have two depots in their Western pas
sage through this town. Alex. Bailey,
all honored pioneer, is Station agent
at Salem. He is Post Master, Notary
Public and useful citizen generally.
The school house at Brass Ball will be
completed in time for fall school.
There have been three runaWays
within week, and though vehicles
have suffered no person was seriously
injured. The picnic of the "Sons" at
Geneva Lake last week was quiet and
enjoyable. The influence Of the
Daughters is recognized in this organ
iZatiOn.
Mr.. j. w. Voak has invited the old
settlers and families to q steam boat
ride next Saturday on the Fox with a
picnic on the shady banks. Almost
wish I was an cold settler" Mr.. Jul

THE LION AND THE FOX.

Twas very late one pleasant night
The moon shone out SO large and bright
A lions roar, which gave such fright
To smaller beast of Africa,
Was heard. The beasts, both far and near,
Gave vent to cries of greatest fear;
And, knowing that there foe was near,
They fed in multitudes away.
All got away from him save one
This was a fox, who could not run
His legs was broken. Ere twas done
He cried out, "Sir, pray, strike not ="
The lion stopped. What wilt tnou, knave?"
ooh, King of Beasts, if thou art brave
And true to friends, pray you, save
My family-yictiins Of plot''
III
The lion thought, "That's what I'lldo.
Besides the fox, I'll have his crew.
My captures have been very few,
And now a least LII have, say,
To forward, quick, aud lead the way
I'll save them if I die this day.
"
And soon the fox was on the road
To where he took up his abode,
A cliff above roaring food.
And to the top of this the fox
Ran and, with knocking laughter, said
II guess my family is not dead,
Go home and fill your empty head -
And vanished DER the rugged rocks.
The lion would not thus be beat
And, with a roar and flying feet,
He neared the edge his death to meet,
And death rewards that fatal rush.
And thus Sir Reynard won, thQt day.
BY strategem, q victory.
An adage said, before our day,
"A bird in hand worth two in bush"

kenosha County is attractive to both
residents and summer sQjourners.
Pleasant Prairie and Mound Prairie
are especially proud of their rich
dairy farms. Other towns also boast
Of dairying facilities; Salem in particu-
lar is developing the dairy interest.
Messrs Udel, Booth, Barber, Maynard,
Muns0n and others are enthusiastic
and successful. They are provided
with modern conyeniences both for
butter and cheese making. Messrs.
Barber, Udel, Watson, Phillips and
Curtis are neatly up with double chan
mel milk coolers, q York State Patent,
which decrease labor and increase pro-
duets. Jersey Herd Dairy Of r. S.

tions also, and Ke13OshG County butter

wisconsin pioneers are we'll repre-
scented in Salem. The earliest veteran
came in 1886 and is J. Cogswen down
by the hill at Silver Lake. Thomas
StockWell still enjoys recounting the
trials and triumphs of his pioneering
which began in 1888. N. N. Rundy
tells his varied experience at same
date. Doctor Paddock in 1888 began
to care for afflicted mortals in the re-
gion around Salem, and now many
persist in calling the Doctor from the
quiet duties of his huge plantation.
Others still remain who came before
1910. A choice volume is the unwrft-
ten history of the pioneer women, the
tolling herOines-bezps insect for tho
kingliest men. A large percentage of
the people are from New York. The
citizens are intelligent, industrious and
moral. No saloons exist to curse
young and old. Two live temperance
organizations number fully two humid
red members. Land on which toI
erect saloon could not be purchased
at any price; private habits and public
sentiment are such that saloons would
die in early life from lack of vital sup
port. Six churches well attended
speak the character of the people
Not less than one hundred partook Of
the sacrement last Sabbath at the
Salem church after an able discourse
by Rev. Doctor Miller of Milwaukee.
The Sabbath School at same church
averages more than one hundred.
while the attendance at service is two
hundred or more. This record shames

Young man, young man, you have q
world to DO! There should not be one
idle moment in your life!
Mayhap, if Eve had not picked the
apple, and Adam had not eaten Of it,
mogAap, I say, We should have had
nothing to do but what was pleasant.
But the apple was too sweet and rosy
for Eve to pass it by, and her smile
and manner too bewitehing for Adam
to refuse, when she asked him to ''have
bite. And don't you see, it would
have been breach of etiquette, to re-
fuse q EGGg what she asked? And
just because he eOGS SO polite, the
world was thrown into general chaos,
and we have all we can do to maintain
our equilibrium.

The Mormon Leader.hip

According TO a dispatch from Salt Lake
City, the Twelve Apostles" yesterday issued
an epistle TO the Mormon people, claiming
TO have received a revelation from God on
the 4th instant, directing them to preside
over the Church without elect1g rev
Prophet The promu CATION OF the extraordi-
nary document has, ii is stated, created ex-
citement, surprise among the Mormons, aud
disgust among the GentIles, who are too
well aware of the past acts of several of the
twelve not 10 believe that the Almighty had
but a small part in the matter. Apostle Tay-
Tor is acknowledged 10 he president OF the
quorum Of the governing body.
The epistle is very lengthy and is signed by
all the Apostles who clinch their claim by
quoting from a sermon delivered at Nauvoo
long ago by Brigham Young. Tney quote ::
4" Joseph Smith conferred upon our heads,
the Twelve poStles, all the KEYS aud powers
belonging to the apOstleship which he him
self held before he was taken away, and no
man or set of men can get between Joseph
and the twelve either in MS world or in the
world to come" They waited on the
Lord who blessed them and revealed their
future course.
II is further stated that accord ling to the
numerous missives sent out from Salt Lake
City yesterday il Is evident that the twelve
and their friends have given orders that the
"Church" must accept this epistle as settling
the question of the leadership; that Heaven
has conferred the ruling power upon these
twelve men, and that it will be a capital Of
fence 10 raise objections.
IL will not be matter of surprise If the
new Mormon leaders should in the future re-
ceive another revelation permitting them to
dispense with 1.-the cross"-as they call it-of
polygamy.

Some over sanguine democratic politicians
are solacing themselves with the hope that,
in view OF Senator MortOa's critical condi-
ton and the possible defextiOn of several
'carpet-bag" senators, the democrats NAV
obtain control of the Senate when il meets
ne xt month. Allowing for the absence of Mr.
Morton when the Senate meets, the republi-
cans counting Senator David Davis, who
has been placed on the standing committees
OF the Senate as a republican, would mus.
ter SO and the democrats IS, which would give
the former a majority of 8. Should il become
necessary 10 I'LL Mr.. Morton's place on &C.
count OF his resignation or death a democrat
would occupy his seat, and the Senate would
stand: republicans, 81; democrats 81. IL the
three South Carolina and Louisiana vacan-
cies are filed by democrats, as they undoubt-
eddy will be, the republicans would still have
majority OF ,. As for the disafection of
the southern republican senator's extending
TO their desertion OF their party, il is all
moonshine. They would have nothing to
gain by such course, except the detestation
OF the republicans and the contempt OF ths
democrats. Some stress is laid OF The fac.
that Senators Booth, Christiyncy and Ell
munds have sometimes been found voting
with the democrats, and the nope Is iadulsed
that they may unite with them on IN any i'm
portant questions. While IT is true that GER
tain republican senators have differed from
their colleagues on a few purely partisan
questions, like the Pinchback case, il is not
al all likely that on the matter OF appointing
the standing committees of the Senate they
will be found voting against their party. But
at this distance il looks as If the democrats
would have a fair ma jOrity in the Senate
after Mach ,, 1879.
