alt, JOHN TnEsToN PRATT, aged rs years.
The subject of this notice was born
in Braintree, Mass, where he lived
till about the time he reached his ma.
iority. Thence, with his parents, he
removed to Braintree, vt. At an ear.
ly day thereafter he was married to
Miss Sarah Smith. of Hartford. VT,
who now survives him. The twain
moved to Eden, Lamoile county. VT,
where they resided until 1854, or there.
abouts, when they came to this place,
locating on piece Of land in Klnnic.
kinnic, near this village.
1t was IN the days of his youth that
cur deceased friend remembered his
Creator, and those who have known
him best and longest well know that
he was not only a Christian, but an
active one-that his life was well-or-
dered, and his conversation godly.

THE JUDGEsHIP QUESTION.

1t is rapidly taking form and the
plebeians are everywhere handling it
without mittens. One gentleman in
writing us concerning it, says: 1T
don't require any talk to get signers
for Houghton to become Peoples
candidate; they are all anxious to
make record to beat the lawyers
candidate. The Bundy scheme shows
want of legal modesty, and strong
appearance of legal 10eaknesS in some
things, at least"
And thus they talk about it. In
fact there seems to be but little rever-
ence exhibited by the plebeians for
that Baldwin convention.
But the question of who will be can
didates before the the people is now
narrowing down to two men. Some
of the lawyers will adhere to their
first choice. Perhaps majority of
them will do so. On the other hand,
many will recede, and join the opposi-
tion. The candidate of the lawyers,
then, will be Mr.. Bundy, while that
of the opposition will be Mr.. III. E.
Houghton or Mr.D. r. Bailey.
From the outset it has seemed tous to
be clear that the lawyers in their ac-
tion were usurping the rights of the
people. If they possess the superior
intelligence that their action clearly
implies tFat .Ley claim, then the COM
mon poop should no longer be per-
United to take an active part in the
affairs of state, but the lawyers should
dictate from the President of the
United States down to an overseer of
highways. 1t is no wonder that the
people first looked on it in wonder.
and next turned and ridiculed their
action.
We will gladly give those men all
the credit to which they are entitled,
but it must be confessed that they
were self-constituted body, to say
the least, acting not at the request of
l.anybody else.

WHAT A TRANSFER SAYS ABOUT
THAT RAILROADP

EDs. JoUREAL:-I, too, am Inter
ested in the correspondence which
has appeared IN your paper relative to
railroad connecting River Falls with
the West Wisconsin Road" There
are over fifty tsamsters in this village
dependent mainly upon their labor.
and that of their teams, for the sup
port of their families, and how, let
me ask, are they to live here, if a
railroad is to be built from this place
to the West Wisconsin Our pay islit-
tie enough now, ana when we are left
without anything to do, then we have
just got to ''get up and Dust" that's
all.
Railroads are well enough, where
they are needed but is it true that one is
needed here now! There is no troub-
lie about the transportation of either
freight or passengers. But the troub-
le, if any, arises from the want of
more of both, with better prices.
Again. a railroad here to this virtu-
GUS town, would soon demoralize the
morals thereof, and thus the fearful
responsibility of the souls, as well as
the bodies of men, will rest upon the
heads of those who advocate the old
tangled notion of a railroad to this
place.
/ tell you that there is but little
morality III railroads, still less in rail-
road towns, and none at all in railroad
men.
And still again, our village is large
enough already. Our taxes increase,
instead of decrease, as our population
increases. 1t may be, however, that
the town would not increase in pop
ulatiOn, since upon the advent of a
railroad the good men here, like the
good children in infancy and youth,
would suddenly and rapidly depart
hence to be here no more forever;
and since there are SO very many good
men here now, why drive them
suddenly awayl
For my part, gentlemen, sirs, editors
of the Journal, and everybody else,
| am opposed to all such new inven-
tions, and innovations, and want this
discussion about railroads to River
Falls, stopped at once. Transfer.

HENRY WARD BEEcHER IN ST.. PAUL
This distinguished gentleman lectu-
ed in st. Paul Saturday and Tuesday
evenings, Feb. oath and 9th, and also
preached in the Opera House on SUM-
day. He was greeted with crowded
houses on every occasion. The city
papers speak in very laudatory terms
of him as an orator. He has fine
presence, is easy and graceful in his
delivery, and has wealth of humor
and practical good sense. He is by
no means vehement speaker and new
er attempts any flights of oratory, but
by his easy. colloquial style, he rivets
the attention of his audience. His
addresses sparkle all over with Illus
trations and wit.
