INAUGURATION.
MEETING OF THE LEGISLATURE

MEETING OF THE LEGISLATURE
The new State officers will be insu-
gurated next Monday January 9th 1878.
Great preparations are being made to
make the inauguration an impressive
affair, and also for an Inauguration
ball in the evening.
The Legislature will meet next We'd
nesday, the Sth instant. It will require
all the first day for the organization Of
the two Houses: So the Governors
message will not be delivered till
Thursday or later, which will be too
late for the next issue of the Telegraph.
1t is generally thought that the ensu-
ing session will be brief and compare
lively unimportant, as it is believed
that the chief measures to come before
the legislature are the revision Of the
statutes and the tax exemption of the
Northern Railroad. But unexpected
business may come before the Legisla-
ture which will prolong it's session.

SILVER WEDDING AT THE
{. WHITE HOUSE.
THE

President Rutherford Burchard
Hayes and Mrs. Lucy Mead Hayes eel
ebrated their Silver Wedding on New
Years eve, December 81, 1877, at the
White House. About 100 invitations
were given to friends and about that
number were present. The White
House was decorated and Illuminated
and the occasion was one of joy and
pleasure to the parties and invited
guests.
We wish President Hayes and Mrs.
Hayes long life and much JOY and hap
plness. We cannot however approve
of their Silver Wedding All wooden,
copper, silver, golden and diamond
weddings are of doubtful propriety.
We believe the time is coming when
they will be banished from intelligent,
respectable and moral society, and es-
pecially the marriage ceremony part
of them. The same clergyman who
married Mr.. & Mrs. Hayes performed
the marriage ceremony at their Silver
Wedding. Was their any occasion for
the parties TO be remarked? Had the
obligations of the first marriage cere-
mony become obliterated and of no eff
feet? Had the Obligations of the rela-
ton of husband and wife become OBJ
scure and unfelt? Had the affections
become alienated and the parties in
hopes Of reyiving them by the repeti-
ton of the marriage ceremony? Or,
if there was none Of these, wherefore
the necessity or even propriety Of the
marriage ceremony Of the Silver We'd
ding? Without any Of them it was en-
tirely out Of place, and with some or
all Of them it would be without effect
to restore them.
The repetition Of the marriage cere-
mony of husband and wife must tend
to lessen its obligations as if it were
something which wore out and needed
renewing. And now when the mar
riage obligation is becoming day by
day less regarded the repetition of the
marriage ceremony by President Hayes
and Mrs. Hayes will encourage the
tendency to disregard the relation and
the ceremony. And however pleasant
the occasion may have been to those
who were present and however much
applause their Silver Wedding may
receive, it is to be much regretted that
it transpired, and to be hoped that il
may not become an example for the
encouragement of others.

WINTER WELCOME.

New Year evening it became colder
and by morning the mud was froze
hard enough to bear a team and the
surface was Whitened by very slight
snow. To-day-We write this on Wed
nesday-it is clear and bright and the
sun thaws slightly, but otherwise it
freezes and is pleasant winter weather.
And winter is welcome-never more
welcome in this part Of the country
than it is now. Though late Of com
ing there is time enough for winter,
and, if it will stay for two months
without being too severe, it will CON
tinue to be welcome.

1t is unnecessary to speak Of the

bad roads, much rain and mud.
AS we look at the swelling budssand
the grass growing green day by dayy we
can hardly believe it is mid winter; aid
are tempted to say spring has come,
but that slight frost Sunday and Mon
day nights Undecieved us.

We hear the Kenosha people are ask

their produce" When the buyers are
willing to pay the farmer a fair price
for his produce then the streets of Ke-
nosha will not be as vacant, but now
the farmer prefers to ship Ais goods
rather than give them away in the
Kenosha market. Take for sample, q

HAPPY NEW YEAR.
JANUARY 1. 1878.

From Christmas to New Year it has
been misty and rainy the most Of the
time and the roads have been muddy
all the time. Deep, deeper, deepest are
only partly expressive when applied to
the mud as it has been and is. Very
deep, as deep as it could be made with
out extra help to make it, is perhaps
truthfully as near expressive Of the
mud as anything. Monday morning
there was snow enough On the ground
to give it white appearance, but it
soon disappeared. This morning-we
write on New Year afternoon there
was q heavy frost and the surface OF
the mud was frozen, but under a clear
sun the frost soon disappeared and by
noon the frozen ground was nearly
thawed: The afternoon is misty and

TO FARMERS AND DAIRYMEN.

Last week in calling attention to the
annual meeting Of the Kenosha Coun-
tvs Farmers Society, to be held in
Kenosha the 9th INST, and particularly
/ in reference to the meeting to be held
in Curtiss & Shumway's Hall in Bris-
! toll, the Friday following, / said, TO
this meeting all who attend are invited
to bring sample of Butter for COM
parison, and as a basis for Instruction.,
At a late meeting of dairymen held
in Chicago, President Smith in his OPP
ening address said, among other good
things, that, "a competitive exhibition
Of products and manufactured articles
is the cheapest and most rapid instruct
;or known to men. It is quite too often
the case that many men and nearly all
women, think they make better butter
and cheese than any one else. When
such notions prevail, it is the greatest
bar to progress that We have to con-
tend with, and nothing SO completely
takes the conceit out of such persons
as to- have them set their products side
by side with others Of greater value"
Again, we may congratulate our
selveSthat in the progress of. events
the character Of dairy products is now
determined by the severe ordeal Of the
fryer Instead Of the cheap labeaof some
favored locality
AS this expresses the idea In better
language, and more forcibly than any
words [ could use of my own, / pre-
sent them to our farmers with the hope
that they may be led to see the animus
of the suggestion and prepare them
selves forthe profit that must grow
out of the society if utilized IN this
and as the members shall |
strive one with the other to obtain the
best results.
Let us at least have one such meet |

FIRST DUTY OF CONGRESS.
THE SILVER DOLLAI

Congress after an adjournment of
nearly a month will reconvene one
week from to-day, on the 10th inst.
And it's first duty after meeting will
be the passage of the Silver Bill, re-
monetiZing silver and providing for it's
coinage. The silver dollar Of 41219
grains should have restored to it its
legal tender quality and coined for
use. The people are unquestionably
in favor of the passage of such bill
and it is the duty Of Congress to pass
it without delay. And if the President
should be forgetful that this is q "gov-
ernment of the people, for the people
by the people" and should veto the bill
it is the duty Of Congress to pass it
over the veto. And when the silver
dollar of 1929 grains has had it's legal
tender quality restored to it and been
coined and circulated long enough to as
certain it's relative value to gold coin il
will be time enough to regulate its
weight and the weight of other silver
and gold coins. What the people de
mand now is the RECOMMENDATION anC
coinage of the silver dollar and it is thu
duty of Congress to obey the demand
