SPRING LAKE.

Mrs. L0nt of Dunn county is visiting
relatives and friends in this vicinity.
Miss Grace Brown has been engaged
to teach the winter term of school in
it. Dist. No. of Gilman and Spring
Lake.
The dry weather has so shortened
pasturage on the commons that
we hear frequent complaint of
stock breaking into inelosed fields
in search of a morsel of food.
Crops are reasonably good in this
vicinity. Oats are somewhat light on
account of rust. Corn may be cut
short little by the drought, and pota-
toes suffered from both drought and
bugs. On the whole farmers have
reason to feel thankful.
We are very sorry to hear so much
about the excessive heat of last Tues
day and Wednesday, the Sth and 9th.
We were running a binder the whole
of both days. We couldn't have done
it if we had known now hot il was,
and may be injured "unbeknownst."
We are satisfied Spring Valley is not
dead. We hear that from 500 TO 5000
finds its way to the Legitimate channels
of trade every week. Considerable
more might have found its way if
there had been few balls of binding
Irvine in the place. Farmers in this
vicinity had to go to its great rival,
Farmhill, to get little binding Irvine.
No place in Spring Valley kept it.

THE SALOON AND THE CHURCH.

Rev. Thomas Dixon Jr. recently
delivered sermon on 1.-THE Gates of
He'll in Modern Babylon" before a
large and attentive audience at AS
ISOLATION Hall, New York. The sub
ject was, "The Saloon in the City,"
and in analysing the conditions of
to-day he said:
"The enormous extent of the drink
evil is impossible for the mind of
man to grasp. 1t is the one deadly
shadow that overspreads not simply
the life of the people in the city, but
in the whole nation. 1t is the one
curse that touches us financially,
socially, politically and morally.

late in the cities as never before. 1t
has been shown that the city of Chi
cago alone consumes S40,000,0O0
worth of beer annually. Pittsburg
spends s1S,O00,0O0 for drink. New
York spends not less than s60,000,-
600 to S70,O0O,O00 for beer alone.
We have about 5000 licensed drink
ing places and about 1900 illicit
establishments where drink is sold
without a license, and the drink
establishments swing wide their
doors day and night and seven days
in the week. AS compared with
them the church cuts an insignifi-

pANGERs on MODERATE pRINKING.

Sir William Gull, the late honored
physician to the queen, gave this
warming word;
"There is q good deal of injury
done to health by the habitual use
of wines and alcohol in its various
shapes, even in so-called moderate
quantities. People are injured by
drink without being drunkards.
There is a point short of drunken IS
in which man may injure his n
stitution considerably by means IF
alcohol. A man may drink day by
day, and almost kill himself with
drink, and even his near friends
not know it. | hardly know any
more potent cause of disease than
alcohol. There is disease of the
liver, which is of very common oc-
currence, and then from disease of
the liver we get disordered condi-
tons of the blood, and consequent
upon that we get diseased kidneys,
we get a diseased nervous system,
we get govt and we get diseased
heart"

A liquor local option bill was in
troduced in the British Parliament
recently by the Chancellor of the
Exchequer. With the support OF
the government this. bill will doubt
less get through the House of Com
mons. but it will likely be defeated
in the upper House. They call it a
Liquor Trade Veto bill over there,
and we like it better than Local
Option" because it expresses more
clearly the object Of the measure.
The introduction of this bill marks
a great step in advance in the growth
of the temperance sentiment in Eng
land. We would not be surprised if
Britain should yet get ahead of us
in the matter of outlawing this Grim
inal business. The strong element
of conservatism in the English char
acter prevents any hasty or prema-
ture action in the direction ofreforIn,
but while reforms progress slowly in
Britain on that account, they pro-
gress the more steadily. The trouble
with us in this country is that after
having taken one step forward, we
are apt to turn round and take two
backward.

TOMS BOAST.

Wellesley College keeps carriage
to convey visitors to and from the
station, etc., and employs a man to
drive. A few days before election
one of the college girls happened to
come to the door when the coachman
was waiting there with his team.
She asked him how he was going to
vote. He belonged to the opposite
party in politics and a discussion
followed. Perhaps he found that
the young lady had the best of the
argument. AT any rate, he said at
last, "Well, you girls can talk, but
next election day | shall be worth
re whole of YOU"
These words were reported all
through the college. The students
realized, some of them for the first
time, that the eight hundred edu-
Gated women within the walls of
Wellesley College, from the president
down, actually counted for less on
election day than the college coach
man; and Toms boast is said to

than anything that ever occurred at

Wisconsin Weather Crop Bulletin.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 10, 1873.
Special reports were requested this
week from the principal potato
counties, and the condition of the
crop must be stated as far from prom
Using. Up to the latter part of July
potatoes showed fine growth. The
acreage was fully an average one and
prospects were excellent for a very
large yield. but the deficient rainfall
of June and July with very high tenn
peratures have combined to finally
lower the standard, and since August
LIST there has been marked deteriora-
ton in prospects throughout the whole
state. Light but general rain on the
10th gave temporary relief, but the
drouth condition was too deep-seated
to be relieved by anything but soak.
ing rain. Reports are almost unani-
nous in showing the crop to be dam.
aged by the drouth beyond full recov-
cry even though bountiful rains come
during the remainder of the season.
In many counties the tops stand strong
and luxuriant but close examination
shows few tubers in the hills. A two
thirds yield is large estimate to make
upon the condition shown to-day, and
unless rain is much more plentiful
during August this will have to be
reduced.
Corn of course has stood the drouth
much better than other growing crops
but the very large yield estimated
during last month must now be con-
siderably modified, and considerable
rain will be needed yet to make large
crop.
Tobacco has suffered greatly ana
does not show anything like the condi-
ton it did last year at this time.
Light frosts on the 9th and in a few
exposed places on the 18th touched
cranberries little, but the vines are
loaded and the promise of large
crop is still good.
