Grant County Mails i'm 1861.

The following is from the HERALD of
May 16, 1861, when the people were
anxiously awaiting ''war news: "Pri-
waite neighborhood mail companies are
being formed at several places in this
county to procure daily news in add
vance of the mails. Carriers are em-
ploycd to bring daily Milwaukee, Chi
cago and Galena papers. Grant County
contains population of $4,000 fanatics
and incendiaries for reading, yet four
fifths of them have only weekly mail
ten days or two weeks behind time at
that. If the mail from Platteville to
Lancaster could be changed from a
semi-weekly to daily, the accommoda-
tons of the entire county would be
placed on a two-fold better mail footing.
If we fail in getting daily connection
with Platteville and Galena we shall
have to try for daily connection with
Boscobel, which many think would be
even better than Galena. Private mail
arrangements will be found insufferably
expensive. We manage to get daily
news by private means, but the cost is
one or two dollars a week. which is
more than we can bear. The money
now expended for getting private news
would more than pay the required extra
mail service"

Lancaster as Frontier Telegraph
Office.

The HERALD of Nov. "a, l849, con-
tanned the following: We have the sat
isfaction of announcing to the western
people that since our last issue Lancas-
ter has been placed in communication
by Telegraph with the principal cities
of the Union. For concentrating this
enterprise we are indebted to the indom-
liable perseverance of Mr.. Henry o.
Reilly, aided by the subscriptions of our
own citizens. The Office was first opened
last Saturday, at which time we ex-
changed a friendly shake of the wire
with our Potosi neighbors of the other
side of politics. On Monday commune
ications were had with Dubuque-com-
pliments were exchanged between this
office and the Dubuque Telegraph.
TO our inquiry: "How is politics, :"
and our exclamation, I'VE are beaten
5000 to 10000 in Wisconsin," we re.
ceived the following sensible reply:
1--WE are sorry to hear you are beat.
but don't give up the ship. Up and at
EN- again If the Wing party could
feel the force of the last clause of that re-.
ply we might look for speedy regener-
alton OF this state from Loco Foco thrall-
dom-unless it should -ain on election
day.
While we are on the subject, it would
not be improper for us to allude TO the
HERALD as vehicle of news for this
vicinity and the entire Northwest.
Situated atthe northwestern termination
OF Telegraphic communication, we can
furnish news of a later date than any
other paper.

Wise9nsin's Holy Hill.

Great preparations are being made for
the first services ON Wisconsin's Holy
Hill, which will take place on May "a
1t is expected that fully 1900 people and
priests and other church dignitaries will
come from all directions and distances.
Thereafter public services will be held
once a month by Father thinner. The
place where these alleged modern mira
eles are said to be wrought is termed
st. Mary Hope of Health, and is To-

caster.

1t was quarter of a century ago last
month and was thus described in the
HERALD:
The short notice of Governor Randall
made it necessary for all persons en-
rolled as Grant County volunteers TO re-
port themselves at Boscobel early Mon
day morning, making it necessary for
volunteers from most parts of the county
to meet at Lancaster by II o'clock Sun
day, and leave shortly after that for Bos-
cobel. On the evening before the ar
rangements had been made for teams,
and the citizens having voted the free
dom of Lancaster to volunteers during
their stay. Sunday forenoon was spent
in preparations to receive them and help
them forward. The usual religious ex-
ercises We're dispensed with, and the
deacons, clergymen and religious men
and women united with ali others in these
perhaps last kindnesses toward the
Grant County soldiers. The little girls
We're making rosettes for presents and
all the ladies were engaged at something
useful for those about to depart for the
conflict. Deacon Howe came up the
street with Il flag and Deacon Jones was
seeing to the charitable finances and
paying the expenses incurred for the re-
cruits. At II O'Clock those enlisted for
this place slowly gathered in ranks at
the call of the drum. This was no child s
play and no jokes were passed such as
were heard at military drills during
peace; we are now reminded of battle
and mortal conflict-of all we have read
of patriot fathers and their struggles for
liberty. Presently men are seen coming
from Potosi, Beetown, Platteville and
lsewhere-recruits with their escorts of
friends. They meet our men and join in
marching with martial music to the
church, for divine service with Rev. Mr..
Eaton-are dismissed for dinner; then
teams are brought out and all start for
Boscobel, some 81 wagons laden with
soldiers and escorts. We arrived at
dawn and procured places to stay with
the generous peOnle of RoScObel

County, Wis, fifty miles from the Illi-
nois line and about twenty from Lake
Michigan. 1t has variety of appella-
tons, the name given to it in the geo.
logical survey of the state being lap
hams Peak" while it is also called ..Ho-
" Hill, " Hermit Hill, and 'St. Mary's
Hill" The modern history of the place
begins with the hermit who came there
about a quarter of century ago. His
name was FRANCOIS Subrio, and the ira
dition says he was priest who had fall
EN- from his holy Office through love for
the pretty daughter of an inn-keeper of
his native land. He built rude chapel
and made himself shelter in the side of
the hill. The few settlers were all Cath
olics and regarded him with veneration
as holy man. They gladly ministered
to his simple wants and he gradually be-
came the father confessor and spiritual
guide of the simple peasantry. The
hermit afterwards visited Chicago, and
there found one Louis Marines suffering
with chronic rheumatism. Marines
went to the Holy Hill and his lameness
completely disappeared. He is at pres
ent merchant of the city of Hartford, on
ly few miles from the hill, and sings its
praises whenever the subject is men,
toned. 1t is claimed that the hill was
dedicated as holy ground by Father
Marquette over two centuries ago. The
fame of this holy place is annually spread
ing wider and wider. Every year pill
grims who have heard of it come humid
reds and thousands of miles to try its eff
ficacy. During the whole of the warm
season there is a stream of people COM
ing and going, and on Sunday the throng
is reinforced by the inhabitants of the vi
cinity, who come both to worship and
for pleasure. There is on the hill a
handsome church edifee which was
erected at cost of $4,000.

The GREATER part OF financial troubles
and business failures arise from the fact that
families, in order to move in a certain circle
of society, or live in 81 certain style, are in
duced TO spend more than their income.
Strange to say this is peculiar to al! the diff
ferent social classes and not conlined TO the
more fashionable people, as some suppose.
No matter in what station Of life q man may
be, if bis income is limited and bis family
large or expensive, it will take all his manly
resolution and Christian forttude TO resist
tho pressure TO live beyond his means that
will be brought to bear upon him by his fam.
lily and society. Too often, in the hour of
ruin and humiliation, it is discovered that
a mans foes were they of his own house.

praiseworthy, but unwise, indeed, is that

allow himself to be led into such a position
that the only heritage he can leave his
children will be ruined fortune or soiled
