From these figures it will be seen
that while the head of the ticket was
given the lowest plurality its tail
received the highest. The vote of
Mr.. Tlmme would doubtless have
equalled that given Mr.. Spooner but
for the fact that one of the members
of the Republican State Central Com
mittee sowed broadcast an alleged
Republican campaign document which
contained an article strongly urging
the election of Mr.. Timme's opponent,
Mr.. Johnson, notwithstanding which
he leads Rusk by over one thousand
votes, 1t is fact worthy of note
that General Rusk ran behind his
ticket in nearly every county in the
State.

a verdict to the effect that Ed. Max

BRooKvILLE BREvIT1Es.

A large amount of lumber and shin
giles are being hauled through this
place, most of it towards Hudson and
River Falls.
Mr.. Tay Tor, OF Olivet, and others
have opened the road on the west side
of the Eau Gale River, so that teams
can draw large loads over the road.
In opening the road they save about
four miles travel each way between
Olivet and Woodville r. r. station.
Mr.. Taylor is manufacturing wagon
and sleigh lumber and appreciates the
saving Of eight miles each trip.
Now if our mail carrier could get
the mail route changed so as to go
from Maiden Rock to Woodville III
stead of going to Jersey, he would
not only save eight miles each trip but
would shun eight miles of the worst
road that man or beast eyer travelled.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR's MESSAGE.

President Arthur's first annual mes
sage to Congress is in every sense a
creditable document, and treats of the
many important questions now before
us as a nation, in fair, candid, and
catholic spirit. After paying beau
tiful tribute to the assassinated Presi-
dent he passes on to a comprehensive
review of our foreign relations, which
in the main are peaceful. He recon-
mends sweeping reduction in taxa
ton, treats largely the question of the
government of the Indians, and the
needs of the army and navy, and ut
tiers clear, bold blast against the
Mormon curse which is assuming
alarming proportions. Everybody
should read this message and then
give it the hearty support its merits
demand.

THE electors of Pepin county, at the
November election, voted that the
county seat be removed from Durand
to Arkansaw, and the Governor has
made proclamation thereof. The
question cannot be again voted upon
for five years, at the end of which
time Durand will have become rail
road town and will doubtless then
make push to have the seat of gov
eminent of that county returned
there.

TIE hhAF-TOBACCO TRADE FOR LAST MONTH
AND COMMENTS on PRICES AND CHARACTER
OF THE NEW cROP-0BlTUARY-A TOURSA-
MENT-RAIN.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.I
NOVEMBER ., 1881.
There has been a considerable desire to
see the figures OF the lcaf-tobacco trade for
last month"; Captain Ferell, OF the To-
bacco Association, reports that there were
sold IN last month 7Q2,1Sl pounds, at an
average OF S17.0l per hundred. In Octo-
Der OF last year there were sold 677,4lG
pounds, at an average OF S12.54. The ave-
rage for last month is greater than that for
october, 1850, by Si.i7. Such advances rs
that upon the averages Of last year will
help out very much the seller OF a short
crop. Captain Ferrcli says "the new crop
has commenced moving, and while the
prices for some grades are pretty steep, yet
the other grades are more reasonable. The
character Of the new is very inferior, and
mostly nOndescript, with a very limited
proportion OF bright"
Mr.. Azariah Graves, leading planter OF
Caswell county. and prince amongst the
Changers, says that some Of the planters
have thrown away great deal OF tobacco
that would have brought them from - TO
IS per hundred. II some of that which
was counted rs ruined ON the morning OF
the 9th OF October had been eilt and cared
for, something could have cen made Of
it." 1t could have been mixed, would
have borne seasoning, and thus could have
been "wOrked off," Much OF what has
been saved will have TO be worked OIL"
Mr. Joshua =. llunnicutt died at his
home here on the 3lst ulthno. lie was
native OF Goochland county. Years ago
he was one OF the leading stage-contractorS,
afterwards he was the leading butcher
