THE Republican has not yet heard OF
the great Democratic victory in Balti-

The daily gazette., 1878-10-25

The Republican still flies the bloody
shirt. Its abuse of the Democracy is
bad enough to offend any sensible body
who had not become accustomed to Radi-
cal political romances of the Eliza Pink
ston style. But it is too bad the Re
pn6ttcdl has become too absurd, and the
wonder is that any decent Democrat al
lows 1t to come into his family. Why
does 1t not invite the infidel Bob Inger-
soil here to help it delineate the bold and
ridiculous stories it yamps up daily of
horrld deeds perpetrated upon the South
ern black Republicans. Bob would please
the League, at least.

The Etery Ece,,ing and Commercial
has not yet given its readers intelligence
of the victory in Baltimore for the De-
moeracy. This is important in many re-
spects and shows that the Greenbackers
and Temperance parties have no hold
upon the politics of the people. Both
these parties had attempted in Baltimore
TO help the Republican party to defeat the
democrats, just as they proposed to do
mere But the triumph of the Democrats
was complete. They elected every man
upon their ticket in every ward, and the
city ticket received majority of $4,000
votes. The opposition all told numbered
4,499 votes. This election guarantees
that of Hon. ROBERT NJ. McLANr ONE

A subscriber at Belmont, writes of
the hourishing condition of that

Belmont can excel any other town
in Grant, Lafayette or Iowa coun-
ties as a hog market. Here is proof:

45O pounds each. John Bunt had
54 that averaged 4jS pounds !;

A CARD The friends ut Plum
Grove, on tho Mineral Point circuit,
gave the preacher in charge and his
wife an excellent book on the "Won-
ders OF Prayer" and a very beauti-
ful picture, 34x25, richly framed and
glazed, as menento Of their apprc-
citation of our Efforts to bring them
to the blessed Savior, and cause them
to prepare for the blessed future.
Such expressions Of kindness pro
duce happy effects, and will call up
grateful remembrances in the recip-
iants in other days. May the spirit
of prayer, such as the book speaks
Of, ever be theirs; and may riches,
grander scenery than the picture
represents, even the hills OF immor-
talty, the sea Of glass, and the house
not made with human hands, be
viewed and enjoyed by thcm through
the ceaselees a a;es Of eternity.

VERY STRANGE.-The rapid in

Asylums every where are crowded to

occurauce recently happening in a
neighboring county:
One Of strangest occurrences On
record took place a few days ago
some miles west Of Jamestown in
Grant County, Wis. A German
farmer named Mat Johnson, together
with his wife aad his brother, John
Johnson, all became insane at the
same time. John Johnson, who is
also a married man, resided at some
little distance from his brother Mat.
The latter first showed dangerous
symptoms at night,when both he and
his wife arose, dressed themselves in
their best clothing, and went into
their fields to pray. They continued
this for a day or two, neglecting
their stock and their Eve little chill
dren. Finally their condition was
discovered by neighbors, who at
tempted to quiet them, but Mat arm
ed himself with an AK and threat
ened to kill anyone who came near.
His mother and younger brothers
tried in vain to coax him to be quiet
or to permit them to cara for his

sisted on keeping all the windows
in the house open, and on having a
lamp, candle and lantern burning at
the same time.
Mrs. johnson has been taken to tho
home of her father, Mr.. Hugo, who
resides near Dickeyville, Wis. Her
husband is SO violent that it is nee
essary to keep him tied all the time.
Both Mat and John Johnson have
been pronounced insane, and will be
sent to the asylum at Madison.
----- -
AT a railroad meeting held in tho
Court House on Tuesday evening,
M }. Briggs, Esq, who has been
spending some time in assisting to
work up the aid required from towns
in Lafayette county, made quite an
encouraging report of progress. In
the town of Wyota, many who for
mcrly opposed the project are now
in favor of it, and there is every
prospect for 81 900 aid, now pending
ing in that town, will be accepted.
Mr. Briggs also thought it probable
that tho town of Wayne would vote
aid to the extent of $4,000. Should
these towns vote the aid mentioned.
it will leave bat aboat So, to be
raised to fulfil .he contsact for the
part of the road between Dodgevillo
and the Illinois line. Mr.. Briggs
also reported that the right of way
had been mostly secured between
Blanchardvile and the State line.
and that there remains but $4,000
to be raised to fulfil the contract Oh
the part of the line lying in Illinois.
On motion, John Ellwood, J. r.
Pryor, Jr., ana John II. Davis were
appointed committee to prepare
and have printed an address to tho
citizens Of the towns where PROPOSE
tions for aid arc now pending, set
ting forth the interest which the citi.
zens Of Dodgevillc seel in this pro.
ject, and also giving snch reasons
why the aid should be voted as may
to them occur.
A resolution was also passed re-
questing Mr.. Briggs on behalf Of the
citizens Of Dodgeville, to continue
his efforts IN those towns until the
aid is voted and tho success Of tho
project is assured Chronicle.

THERE are fears entel tanned of an
ice famine next summer. Two Chi
cago firms have given orders to diff
ferent parties in this State for thous-
ands of carloads. From the pres
ent outlook not one-half the order
can be filled. The lakes and rivers
here generally applied to for ice are
reported to be laden with only
foot in thickness of the "desirable."
LAST week, as Mr.. VIM. Batten,
of Linden, was vending his way to
this market with load of hogs, he
was thrown from the seat, which was
not made stationary to the rack, by
means Of the restlessness of the dumb
brutes. He pitched on bis head,
but strangely enough, considering
the frozen ground, his injuries were
not severe, though enough so to
render him pretty sore and stiff for
some days. Mr.. B., while falling.

"whoa," to the horses, TINS prevent
ing a runaway that seemed imminent,
and which would have been terrible
indeed.
WEATHER predictions for the first
half OF the present year state that
up to the middle of February the
temperature will continue warm
and balmy, and people will rise
from their beds at midnight to chase
huge mosquitoes from the open win
dows, while young men continue to
harrow the feelings of their doting
parents, and SOW all kinds of things,
including "wild oats" But after the
middle of February look out for
colder weather will be experienced
than the Oldest inhabitant ever
dreamed Of, while snow several feet
thick will lie on the ground till
nearly harvest.
EVERY body around here knows
of it and nearly everybody wants to
hear and see Susan B. Anthony on
the woman question at the CityHall,

ready more than one hundred reserv-
ed seats have been taken, and it
seems as if the Hall, which only seats
three hundred, will not be capable
of holding the many who will apply
for admission. At Independence, Ia,
q few nights ago, Miss Anthony
spoke to $500 house, and the larg-
est hall in Des Moines was crowded
to its utmost capacity. Those who
get reserved seats are the only ones

A SEVERE mining accident was
met with by Thos. Peacock, of New
Diggings, recently. The Darlington
Republican tells of it as follows {:
"While at work in the mines, having
put in blast of powder and lighted
the fuse, he retired to safe distance,
and waited as he supposed sufficient
ly long for the blast to 60 off, but
hearing no report he supposed the
fire had gone out, and going to the
shaft he looked down as the explosion
occurred. He was struck in the
face and on the head by flying
stones, aud SO badly injured that
he was taken up for dead. His
skull was broken, and one eye en-
tirely destroyed. Surgeons were
called, several pieces of skull were
removed and his wounds dressed.
and we have since learned that he
is now in fair way to recover"
PALESTINE AND RoME.-Col. J. p.
Sanford delivered two of the bright
est and wittiest lectures in this city
last week, that it has ever been our
lot to hear. He took us over the
Holy Land and the wonderful city
which sits upon Ter seven hills and
once ruled the world No worthier
subject could have been chosen, nor
could such sublime themes have
been committed to an abler or more
gifted orator. A rapid but intense
iy graphic style compels the most
unimaginative, even, to see the
sights delineated by the masters
hand. Fresh andquaint anecdotes,
deity thrown in, relieves any ten.

the expense of the lecture being
thought too discunive. All in all
the Coloneps audience were even
better pleased that at his former
visit, and then they were more than
satisfied. They will always remain
his enthusiastic admirers.
