From our Regular Correspondent,
Our steam-saw and grist mill is doing a
fair business. Raleigh & Ford are in
charge Of the same.
Several persons have killed hogs, and
others will follow the wise example at an
early day.
Thanksgiving was an exceedingly stormy
day, and invitations TO dine could not be
accepted in consequence.
William H. Stone, Esq, is repairing the
wharf at Cornfield Harbor.
When we penned the few words com
mandatory of our Scotland friends actions
on election day, we did not entertain the
remotest idea that any person would get
angry with US for according merit to whom
merit is due. The angels who surround
us, applaud every good actions cannot man,
who is made little lower, do the same
without mourning the displeasure of a fell
low man? If we had used a word in the
interrogation propounded in recent items
not admitting modification, censure would
have been appropriate For instance, the
word "solely" instead of "principally."
These words, as our friend Democrat is well
aware, are not interchangeable. We re-
greet that we have been instrumental in dis
turbing the serenity of his mind; and cheer
ish the fond hope that time will adjust the
equilibrium thereof and arrange political
matters to suit him.

Death of John +. Fenwick.

Wed. esday evening, November gath,
Mr.. John +, Fenwick was paralized in his
left side and-lingered without any material
change in his condition until 9:35 o'clock,
p. M, Wednesday, December list, when his
sutferings were terminated by DEATH So
peaceful were his last moments that those
of his family and friends who knelt by his
death-bcd scarcely knew when he passed
away. In his death our county has lost
one of its best citizens and truest gentle
men. In the positions to which he was
called h. Won and received the encomiums
Of his fellow-citiZens for duties well and
faithfully performed. Few more popular
men hay ever lived in our section. Twice
was he sheriff of the county, his election to
the position the second time being of too
recent a date to need comment For long
years he was proprietor of Fenwick's Hotel,
in this village, and there dispensed gem
erous hospitality Though having oppor-
tunities for the accumulation of money 50
numerous were his charities that he ever
remained poor. No one in need was ever
permitted to leave him empty handed, and
there are but few among us who may not,
if we will, treasure up some act of neigh
4. borly kindness as a memento of this "good
/ aan gone to his rest In his death sick
ness, Mr.. Fenwick preserved his conscious
ness long enough to enable him to make
his Confession, 10 receive the last rites OF
his Church and to die with its blessing.
He left behind him little worldly wealth,
but if, as We are taught, "all one can hold
in ones cold, dead hand is what one has
given away" he was rich beyond measure
and when his spirit appeared before the
Judgment scat of God his aoealh won for
him fadeless crown, and for his truly
Christian life he received Gods plaudit

4 Timely Suggestions.
The Lacrosse Chronicle.


The Sawyer literary bureau in Wash
iugton has made "A fresh start on
Colonel Villas, asserting that he wants
To own this state politically and other
equally absurd rot However. some of
the democratic papers always echo this
sort of stun and make themselves ap-
pear very cheap. 1t reminds us Of a
story, attributed To senator Coc1reu,
of Missouri, which we lately heard
from gentleman who had visited
Washington. The senator said the
democratic party reminded him of a
pack of wolves chasing a traveller If
any one of them get near enough the
sleigh to get wounded the whole pack
stop and eat him up. 80 if any dem
ocrat gets to be conspicuous enough to
attract the shafts of the enemy all the
democrats take up the cry. Mr.. Villas
is credited with being a good repre-
sentative of the administration. and
Wisconsin democrats certainly can illv
afford Ia helittle him.

The Nation calls attention to the
fact that so far as republican state
conventions have been held this year
the view-with- alarm plank. which
for ten years before the change of ad-
ministration was the strongest reliance
of the republican party in every cam
paign, has not been reproduced in the
platforms. The Nation says:
:. For years the view-of-a alarm =
plank has been the chief reliance Of
the Republican managers. Where ev-
cry thing else failed to dissuade doubt
full voters from supporting the Democ-
racy, the claim that the Republican
party must be sustained as the only
effective barrier to the success of treas
enable schemes" to use the words OF
the Vermont Republicans in 1880, was
expected to do the business, and gen
orally did. Garfield would not have
won in 1880 if " timid patriots" had
not been assured that there was mo
middle ground between his election
and the dissolution and utter de
5truction of republican government.
Blaine would have lost nearly all his
plurality over Cleveland in Massachu-
sets in 1884, but for the charge that
he latter's election would place the
federal administration under a control
which involves financial, industrial and
commercial peril" the loss of this
bugbear is a loss of campaign materi-
al, such as no party in our history
ever 50 suddenly suffered. Every we'll
wisher of his country must rejoice at
-he change which has come about"

The republican state convention is
called to meet at Madison on Wednes-
day, September 8. Three hundred and
twenty-five delegates are entitled to
seats in the convention. The vote for
Blaine in 1884 is made the basis of
representation, each county being en-
titled to one delegate without refer
encc to number of votes east and one
for each five hundred or major fraction
Of five hundred. The nomination for
governor seems to have become to Jer-
~ Rusk in undefcasable estate of in
heritance, free and clear of all incum-
frances whatever. There is no search
ty Of candidates for the other positions
on the ticket.

As Mr.. f. Ward, of Magnolia, was
driving home from Brodhead or Sat
urday afternoon last, he met with a
very serious and what may vet prove
to be fatal accident. Mr.. Ennis left
Brodhead with him. but after he had
left Mr.. Ennis at his own home, it
seems that the pin came out, Ioosing
the tongue from the wagon, and in
attempting TO hold the horses. Mr..
Ward was drawn over the dash board
and fell upon his head. The horses
went home and Immediately search
was made for Mr.. Ward, who was
found lying by the roadside, with two
or more bad bruises on the head, and
wholly unconscious. At last accounts
he was still living, but the outlook can
hardly be favorable to a man of his
age. We understand he is past seventy.

not likely they will experiment in that
direction any further. Boys should be

4 tslaring Folly,
The ST. Paul Pioneer Pres

One of the most absurd performan-
ces during the present session of con-
gresS is the persistent monkeying of
the senate with the river and harbor
bill. They have been fooling with It
for weeks: piling on appropriations:
wrangling over items like. boys over
marbles: rejecting motions to reduce
the aggregate. No such bill as the
senators have constructed will ever
get from under the point of the pres
idential pen. and no conference com
mittee can ever agree upon the items
of the bill. 1t is glaring folly to waste
any more time upon the measure.
