NEXT Sunday completes the I'd
year of the pastorate of Rev. +. f..
Clough in the Methodist Episcopal
church in this city. 1t appears TO
be the general desire that Mr.. Clough
be returned for the third year, and
we doubt not bat what he will.
During the two years of his pastor
ate here che church has prospersd in
marked degree. Mainly through his
vigorous efforts long standing debt
has been lifted and a new energy
grated into the society. His we'll
earned popular, both inside and
outside the church, demands his re-
tention. 'Tis well.
SERIOUS KIcK-On Sunday some
trotting horses, coming from Oar
lington and enroute for Dodgeyille,
were put up at Mr.. Chambly's hotel
for rest. Among them was the
stallion Mambrino Jackson, which
horse became rather vicious about
as they were being stabbed, and he
kicked a gentleman named Faith,
who was acting as hoster for the
hotel, in the discharge of duties
came in contact with the beast, and
received a terrible kick, breaking
his right leg just above the knee,
and bruising the other leg some.
The break is described as com
plete mash. Mr.. Faith underwent
his distressing accident with great
heroism. lie was conveyed to his
home at once, where he is doing as
well as age and the seriousness of
the kick will permit.
History OF WISCONSIN TERRI
ToRY.-For a copy of this work just
published we are indebted to the
compiler, Hon. Moses NJ. Strong.
The book is one which every citizen
of Wisconsin who cares to be in
formed as to the early history of the
State will peruse with satisfaction.
1t is historically accurate in state
ment of facts and incidents, arranged
and stated in manner and term to be
entertaining as we'll as instructive.
Mr.. Strong is democrat, who has
been devoted and answering in his
attachment to what he regarded the
principles of his party. In Terri
torial times he was appointed U. S.
Attorney by President Van Buren,
was repeatedly elected, as the candi-
date of the Democratic party, to
represent old Iowa county in the
council and in the convention which
framed the first constitution,and was
the candidate of his party in 1847
for delegate in Congress, and was
Justly regarded as an active and
Jealous, if not an"offen partisan.
These characteristics created the i'm
preston with many that his "IIisto-
ry" would reflect his political preju-
dices, and be tinged with party bias.
An examination of the work shows
that such apprehensions are without
foundation, and those who enter
tanned them will be disappointed.
The work, SO far as it speaks of po-
litical events, is a plain, impartial
statement of them as they transpired,
and it is impossible for the reader to
determine from a perusal Of them,
what were the political opinions of
the compiler, except so far as they
are disclosed by the necessary state
ments of his connection with the
democratic party in his official re-
lations to it and to the public.
The book is for sale by Mr.. Strong
