TO ENGLAND.-It does not happen
often that emigrants, after residing for
time in America, return to their place
of nativity; but Mr.. John Rundcl, who
for some time past has occupied the
position as assistant in the C. &. n. w.
Rway Co.'S round house in this city.
started for his home in England on Sat
urday last, for the reason that wages
are at present comparatively better in
England to-day than in America, owing
to the depressing effect of the tariff
agitation, and the possibility of DEM
ocratic administration and their ruinous
free trade doctrines. While it is OBJ
served that he received S42 per mouth
for his services here, and only expects
Il and 10 shillings or about S22 per
month in England, he prefers the latter
to staying here and risking the high
privilege of competing on equal terms
with their fellow laborers in foreign
countries" (where wages are from one
third to one-half what they are in this
conntry) Mr.. Rundel took passage
on the city of Rome, which is commonly
called the floating palace of the Allan
tic, owned by the Anchor Line Steam
ship Co., through its agent in this city,
Mr.. Herman Buchner, and expects to
land i'll Liverpool within ten days after
leaving Chicago.
CoNwELL's LIFE OF BLAINE.-Col.
Russell II. Conwel's admirable "life''
of James &. Blaine is now ready; it is
handsomely bound and printed, and
contains upwards of 500 pages; it is IL
lustrated by first-class artists; it is from
the press of Messrs. sE c. Allen & Co,
of Augusta, Me. As rapid biographer
Col. Conwell doubtless stands without
rival in America. and the volume has
the impress of the broadest information
and most careful attention on every
page. The author has had the coop
Grafton of Mr. Baine's family and
friends The steel-plate portraits of
Blaine and Logan were engraved for
the volume and are of the finest work
manship and perfect likenesses of those
gentlemen. A few more agents are
wanted by the publishers; the most lib
eral terms are offered. 1t is splendid
chance for beginners, as with this grand
book no one can fail to TO q great bust
ness. The volume also contains bio
graphy of John A. Logan.
WEpDED.-Through some strange
fruiton of circumstances. Mr..
Myron Sherman, of this city, and Miss
Sadie Scott, of Bloomington, met at
Madison, Tuesday July %, where by
happy coincidence, Rev. r.. l.. Cheney,
of the latter place was passing a vaca-
ton under the celebrating influences
of Monona Lake. who after learning
their wishes, acceded to their request,
and by his kindly offices made the twain
one for life. The happy couple arrived
in Lancaster Saturday evening, where
they will have their future home Mr..
Sherman is one of LaucaSter's most en-
terprislng and respected young men,
and the bride he has chosen is a dauoh-
ter of Samuel Scott, of Bloomington.
and is admired and beloved of all for
her personal worth and charming and
alfable manners. THE HERALD, with
numerous other friends, extends its con
gratulations and wishes the happy pair
a long and happy connubial life
BASE BALL. Prairie du Chen Cour.
Ter: The game of base ball came off as
announced on last Tuesday afternoon.
between the Chicago Blues and the
Prairie City Club. There were seven
innings played, and the former scored
six TO three for the latter This gives
good record for the Prairie Cities, and
they probably could wipe out that club
on another trial. This club having beat
the Iowa mines in McGresor, now send
out challenge to any club in this or
Grant county to play game atnny
time. Those clubs at Bloomington.
Lancaster, etc, can now make a note of
this, and have chance of trying their
luck with our boys.
If the independent" gathering in a
New York theater the other day was
not tizzle, somebody please tell us
what it was. 1t was grievous disap-
pointment from lack of members; there
was no enthusiasm over the two or three
free trade speeches; and when it came
to action resolution to support Cleye-
land was promptly voted down, and the
conference adjourned sine die in haste
