PRESCOTT, WIS:
SATURDAY. MAY 6, 1865.
The Mew».
—The news of the week is important
Mid cheering. J. Wilkes Booth, the ns
sassin of the President, has been caught
and ki led. He was taken about sixty
miles from Washington, together with
an accomplice, in a barn. He refused to
surrender, and was shot. Ho lived about
two hours aft?r he was shot, anti died
amid te« rible sufferings cursing his coun
try. Ke thus met a fitting fate—was
bunted down and killed like a dog. and
buried aecretely in an unknown grave. —
Several others implicated in the conspir
acy ha»e been arrested, and it is proba
ble that the whole plot will be brought
to light and all concerned in it punished.
—Johnston has surrendered his entire
armr to Sherman on the same terms on
which Lee surrendered to Grant. Johns
ton's command embraced all the rebei
troops in North and South Carol it a
Georgia and Florida There is no rebel
army now in existence except the one
under Gen. Kirby Smith, in Texas and
this will doubtless now surrender.
Twa Waais imo! Peace ha* not
been formally declared, hut it neverthe
less actually exist*. We shall soon see
our victorious armies disbanded and at
home, and the Second American Revo
jution will j-ass into history. Of course,
there will bo many important and com
plicated questions growing out of the fi
nal settlement of the war, but these wil*
be referred to tbs arbitration of states
tnanship, and amicably adjusted. “Han
Columbia 1 happy land I ”
—Orders have been iatiMd by the
War Department to all proper officers t«.
proceed with the necessary arrangemen s
at once for the mustering out and pay
ing of all soldiers not in the regular
army.
High Freights.—The best common
tare we have heard on the high rates of
freight, is a remark made by Captain
KMxPFofthe Enterprise. Steph had
eol'ected a large freight bill at Hudson,
aud taken a U. S. Bond, with the cou
pons attached. The Capt. noticed the
big sheet of paper, and eiciai.,.ed, ‘‘Wr
are fetching them; they are coming down
with their dbeds.” The idea of a man
surrendering his deeds to pay a freight
bill, is suggestive, and just.
Picrnaxs. —E. A. Wright has open
ed a Photograph Gallery on Broad St
over McKee’s store. Mr. Wright has a
.good teputaticn a» an artist, and will no
doubt give entire satisfaction to thoau
getting work dune.
A few days since the Hauk Eye
State landed a load of eai thorn wme
here, destined for Mnrine. A careful
computation showed a little over a pan
apiece for the people of Polk Co. Will
Sa; i F field explain.
j&y John L. Dale and H. A. Taylor
have gone East. Da’s i* expecting t
pilot quite a large parly of old acquain
tances in Pennsylvania to the St. Croix
Valley, and Taylor is after machinery
for the woolen factory at River Fall*.
/y A. C. Hotchkiss. Co. A, 30th.
has returned home, berng discharged on
account of ill health. He reports those
wounded by Sue Mundy, a* improving.
while the recitation of versea of Scrip
ture was m progress, a little Ind suddenly
exclaimed: “1 know a verse’” He
was desired to recite it, and did *o thus:
“If any one attempts to haul down the
American flag, shoot him on the spot.”
And that, said Dr. Wdiets, who
told the story, “is the gospel according
to Gen. Dix.” •
Dr. Johnson said of a widower
who was about to marry, that it was a
triumph of hope over experience.
Clothing.—Chas. Cook has gone
below after a stock of Summer Cloths
and Ready-made Clothing. Mr. Cook
intends to keep a much larger stock than
heretofore, and will furnish clothing
ready-made, or make it te order, at the
lowest living prices.
•=* “Jeanie,” said a venerable Camer
onian to his daughter, who was asking
bis consent to accompany her urgent
and favored suitor to the altar, “Jennie,
it is a very solemn thing to get married.”
“I know it father,” replied the sensible
damsel, “hot it is a great deal eolemner
trrt to.”
H ves cofHBBtW wol
The Dessou of the Murder.
We coinmend to the attention «»f ou<
readers the following, which we clip
from the editorial columns of Harper's
Weekly. It may be of especial interest
to those who echoed the raving* of the
LaCrosse Democrat, and also to those
who <lrew and approved the infamous
resolutions passed at the County Seat of
tins County, in the spring of 1863 .
In our own grievous affliction there i«
one lesson which those who directly ad
dress public opinion would do well to
consider. Party malignity in the Free
States during th* star has not scrupled
iv durante --f Mi. Las-
coln. He has b-«en denounced as a
de-pot, as a usurper, as a man who
arbitrarily annulled the Constitution, as
a magistrate under whose administra
tion nil the securities of liberty, property
and even life, were deliberately disre
guaided and imperiled. Political hos
tility ha* been inflamed into hate by
the assertion that ho was responsible for
’he wit , and that he had opened ail
the yawning grave* and tumbled the
bloody victims in. This has been done
dir«ty Rtid indirectly, openly an ! cun
nuglv. In a tm< <f ree -»*arily pro
fit nd and painful excitement, to carrv
p-ti y point, the political opponents
•»t Mr. Lincoln have said or ins.uu>«i<-d
or implied that he bad superseded the
law* and made himself an autocrat. If
any dangerous plot ha* been exptsed,
tlte*e organs of pub! C pn 1 »n ha»« sneer
ed at it ns an invention of the Adtnin
strition. If theatres and hotels full of
men, women, and children were to be
wantonly fired, the friends of the Ad
ministration were accused of cooking up
an excitement. If bloody riots and i
massacres occurred, they were extenuated
and called “risings of the pe pb*,” as
■f in justifinblc vengeance, and as if the
■ppression of the Government had bro’t
them upon itself. This appeal ha* been
made in various ways and in different
egrees A great convention intimated
that there wn« danger that the elections
would be overborne bv Administration
bayonets. Judge Comstock, formerly I
•»f the Court of Appeals in this Slate,
addressing a crowd in Union Square,
leclared that if n candidate for the Pres
money should be defrauded of his elec
tion by military interference he would
be borne into the White Hotts* by the
hands of the people. Of the Adminiatra
ton thus accused of the basest conceive
bl* crimes Abkaham Lincoln was the
head If there were a military tiespot
•tn tn the country, ns was declared, he
was the despot. If there were a tyranny
he was the tyrant.
I« it surprising-that somebody should
have believed nil this, that somebody
should have said, if there is a tyranny
;t can n<»‘ be very criminal to slay the
tyrant, and that working himself up
to the due frenzy he should strike the
blow I When it was struck, when those
ked eyes that never looked sternly upon
a hitman being closed forever, and the
naaaaain sprang forward and cri-d, Sic
semper tyrrannis, was it not a ghastly
commentary upon those who had not
scrnpled to teach tb*t ho was a tyrant,
who bad annulled the saw!
The lesson is terrible. Let us hope
that even party spirit may be tempered
by this result of its natural conseq’ienee.
Do Good.—Thoii-aiid* ot iiieii breathe
m< ve. and live—pas* off the stage of
If-. and are t.enrd of no more. Why!
They do not a particle of good in the
world, none nre blessed by them as the
instrument of their redemption. Not a
word they spoke could be recalled, and
so they perished; their light went out in
darkness, and they woic not remembered
more than the insect* of voterday. Will
vou thus live and die, man immortal!
Live for something. Do good, and
leave behind you a monument of virture
that the storm* of time can never destroy
Write your name in kindness, love and
mercy on the hearts of thousands you
may come in contact with, year bv year.
You will never be forgotten. No your
name, your deeds, will be as legible on
the hearts you leave behind a* the star*
on the brow <»f
deeds will shine n* the stars of heaven.

Woman and Marriage.
I hnve speeu ated a great deal on
matrimony. I have seen a young and
i beautiful woman, pride of gsy circles,
married a* lhe world snys, well. Some
have moved in'o c<»-ty house*, and their
friends hate all come and looked at
their furniture ami their splendid arrange
ment for happiness, ai I they have gone
sway and committed them to their
j sunny hope* cheerfully and without fear.
■ It is natural to be sanguine for them,
as the young are sometimes carried
, away by similar feeling*. 1 love to get,
unobserved, into a corner, and watch
the bride in her white attire, and, with
her smiling face ami soft eyes ineHiog
i me in their pride of life,- weave a wa
i king dream of future happiness, and
persuade myself that it will be true. I
think how they will sit upon the luxurious
sofa as the twilight tails, and build gay
hope* and murmur in low tone* the n- w
not forbidden tenderness: and how thrill
ing'v the allowed k>M and beautiful en
dearments of wedded life will make even
' their parting joyous, and bow gladly
come back from the crowded and empty
j mirth of t6e gay to each other’s company
1 picture to mys«‘ll that young creature
who I daN res <V «n now at his hes.lating
i caress, listen mg eagerly for hi* footsteps
as tho night steal* <m, wishing he would
I com's and when lie enters at last, mid
with an affection as undying as his pwlse
folds Iter to hi* bosom. 1 can feel lhe
tide that goes flowing through the heart,
and gaze with him on the graceful f<nni
a* she moves about for the kind offers
of Affection, soothing all his unquiet care,
and making him forget ev.-n himself in
her young and unshadowed beauty. I
goforva d for years and see b t luxu
riant hair put sob away from her
' brow, and her girlish graces resigned
1 into dignity, and loveliness chastened
i with the gentle meekness of maternal
affection. Her husband looks on her
' with a proud eye. and shows her the
same fervent love and delicate attentions
which fir*t won her; and her fair chil
dren nre grown about them, and they
igo on full of honor and untroubled
years, and are remembered when they

Sknsiblv to thk last —A lady
who lia-l something of a Bacchanalian
spouse, relived to frighten him into
temperance. She therefore engaged a
watchman, for a stipulated reward, to
j carry Philander to the watch house while
I yet in a slate of insensibility, ai.d to
frighten him a little when he recovered,
hi cot-sequence of this arrangement he
woke up at 11 o’clock and found hi nself
on bis elbow. He looked around until
his eyes rented on a man sitting by a
stove and srn 'king a cigar.
•- Whetw am I I” asked Philander.
“ In a medical College,” answered the
ciga- smoker.
“ Whai a doing there !”
“ Going to he cut up.”
“Cutup I How cornea that !”
“ Why. you died yesterday while
drunk, ami we hnve bought your carcass
anyhow, from your wife, who had a
right to sell it. for it’s all the good she
' cotiid ever make out of you. If you are
not dead, it’s no fault of the doctors, and
I they will cut you up. dead or alive.”
“ You will do it, eh !” asked the old
! sot.
“To be sure we will—now—intmedi

“ Well—look o’ here, can’t you let

A negro soldier was lately ar

off. Don't you ail that stealing!
‘ No, sir, I didn’t steal dat roostah!
