Friends of Ex-senator Carpenter, of
Wisconsin, predict that he will be Sena-
tor Howe's successor. Carpenter will
receive the Democratic vote entire-not
because he is popular with that party,
but because Howe is especially unpopu-
lar with it. Carpenter is one of the
ablest of our public men, and the peo-
pie of Wisconsin seem to think that the
state should have the benefit of his
great abilities, by placing him in the
Senate chamber.

Bayard Taylor, the great traveller,
poet and writer-and recently U. S.
minister to the court of Berlin, died in

It was announced several weeks ago
that he had had surgical operation
performed upon him, that the effect was
very beneficial, and he woulI probably
survive. Even the day before he died,
he was transacting business with men,
bers of his suite so that his taking of

That John A. Logan is strong in the
race for the Illinois Senstorship is cor
tain, from the fact that his enemies and
opponents are stirred up to such IN ex.
tent as to be working night and day for
his defeat. One movement was to de.
feat the decision of the caucus, by oh.
tanning promises from members of the
Legislature to bolt its action; this was .
failure. Then the attempt to manufac-
ture q combination on the principle Of
"anybody to beat Logan" failed. Now
q multiplicity of candidates, with the
purpose of drawing as much from Lo-
gan's strength Is possible, is the plan.
1t is supposed that by enlisting large
number of candidates in the race, tho
time will come when the fight will be
go bitter that the "everything-to beat
Logan" measure will attain the ascend
ancy. Undoubtedly if tho politicians
have their way, Logan will be defeated.
But We Believe they will not. and that
the choice of the people, which is IN
Logan, will in the end be
elected. Gov. Oglesby seems to DO a.
most out of tho fight. We see it stated
that his advanced ago and i'll health
have been urged against his candidacy,
and probably have prevailed in driving
him from the track.

FIRE.. -On Friday last, the barn and straw
house on the premises of Mr.. Mark Wismer,
in the southern part of Solebary were destroy
ed by fire. All the hay and grain in the barn,
together with the machinery aud other farm
ing implements usually housed in the barn,
were consumed by the flames, Mr.. WisIner
and family were in Doylestown, attending the
fair when the fire occurred. 1t appears that
hired man and girl were alone on the prem
ises at the time. The girl went to the build
ing to gather eggs, when she discovered the
tiames which at that time had not yet made
much Roadway. She states that she saw man
running from the building, but did not know
him. An alarm was sounded and a large
crowd of neighbors assembled, but could do
but little save to prevent the confagration
from reaching the house, and buildings.
The Eagle steamer, Of New Hope, was taken
to the scene and kept the fire within bounds.
The buildings and most of the contents were
insured in the Farmers and Mechanics In
surance Company, of Buckingham.
Mr.. Wismer is being assisted by his neigh
bors in clearing away the ruins, and intends
rebuilding as soon as the work can be execut-
ed. aese
Ina little less than year four barns have
been burned--in open day--in the immedi-

wholesale destruction of property remains an
unsolyed question.
