it has died jy■ rj | r t

Thb Issue.—A small premium will
be paid for an issue in the coming elec
tion of town officers. The tiinfifts are
hard, but if one is invented that will
create a “ ffirdfe* a liberal reward wilt be

New Hocsxs.—Reporbe^ethat ear
bachelor friends, Henry Nichols and
William Armstrong are making prepa
tions to build new dwelling tbe
coming season. Coming events often
cast their shadows before them.

The Hotel Bcbiskss. —Mr. Bingham
has retired from tbe River FaMs House,
and John McKeen now “ dons the land
lord’s air .** The business must be excel
lent to enable so many to retire on the
profits of a few vpeks.
Those Boxes.—The post office boxes,
we mean, only $2.00 per year, and 4.00
for drawers, so now exacted of those who
have already paid the legitimate charges
on their postal
that wc pay our postage once! And is
it not the duty of the Post Master to de
liver all matter senU without further «X‘
actions!
The box system is a swindle, and
always has been, and the time baa come
when it should be “ boxed’’ out of exis
4ence.
Rail ;.oa d«^— BO thaso b«rd times
-when tbero is such general dearth of any
thing like interesting gossip, it is expect
ed that something must be said in every,
other column of every newspaper pub-
Jished in the St. Croix Valley, upon the
local or general qbantc|er of railroads,
botlf're’d
A dark shadow seems to have ari«en
and spread out over the once brightening
prospects of fpanda, japd
they nre in a quandary. If the railroad
is located through the central or northern
portions of the copnW, Abe Van Meter
will cortiiinfy secfire life' services of Lute
Taylor’s T— Bug, which is now kicking
the State Capitol from Madison to Mil*
waukee, and out goes that county seat,
court house and appendages.
Then, too, Minnesota has done a bad
thing for Hudson by proposing to give
her a railroad pass to St Paul via Still
water, White Besr Lake and Minneapo
lie. And what will Horace do next?
Wise men tell us that the mouth of
th® Missiwppi.rifer is several miles high
er thAn its source, and that the rapid
movement of the earth from west to east,
in the daily revolutions, causes the water
to flow “up hill” till it runs over the
“ Lights.” Now if Horace Taylor by
the •• rapid revolutions’* can start the
train out from Htfds4n. •nd* s'inri it over
the “ hog back,” he may defeat the of
forts of Abe Van Meter with his T. Bug,
and be able to “ tap the West Wiscon
sin” on its regular march to Hastings.—
Little streams naturally flow into bigger
ones, and it looks like the Dakota and
<oa| 4i Wld the
WesTWracctosin *ar Hastings—that St.
Paul and Red Wing will empty their
treasures on to the road at that point, and
that the big thoroughfare will wind along
through Prescott eastward, receiving
such little tributaries as the “ Hudson
Branch,” and other kindred streams, in
its onwardgpijcb. ,<'
The Minneapolis Tribune says that
the “ contract for grading the St. Paul
A Chicago railway :froru Hastings to
Red Wing, has been awarded to R. B.
Langdon, of Minneapolis. Work will be
commenced immediately.”
The road is already built and io run
ning order from St. Paul to a point just
across th* Croix r»v»r from Preycotk
where the' West Wisconsin will, in all
probability, join it, and thence to St.
Paul, and at the same time form the
eastern connection of'" the Hastings
de Dakota road. This is the programme
now. ’ Mbiw’i fcewwbaJt <ilnei
A Young Girl Drugged.—The Hud
eon 2 imee says that Sheriff 1 Kelley ar
rested a young mao, last week, while he
wm M wEfk-in <bt Menominee logging
camps, charged with “ drugging’’ a
young g’rl living in thia city, sometime
last summer. The girl has been crazy,
until within a short time ago, and has '
boon a charge on the city. Since recov
ering her reason, she alledges that her
derangement was occasioned by the ad
ministering to her of certain “drugs,”
by a young man named Chas. Kelley.—
The Sheriff arrested him,. brought J»ijn
here, acd after a proper amount of
“ talk,” the twain weie married, and ev
erytbing is now lovely.
The bilL***AJ* t?e <»pe» of Wis
consin from Madison to Milwaukee, came
up on the Bth inlaL as the special order
in the Assembly, and was indefinitely
postponed by a vote of 56 to 30, amidst
a good deal of excitement.
Hudson Road, has got through the
United States Senate the Resolution giv
ing the privilege of selecting along the
Hudson, Superior and Bayfield routes
enough lands to make up certain alleged
deficiencies in the I his
measure, in substance that he
may comejnjp adjoining coup
and acres of lands for the benefit of a
road which comes no nearer to those
lands than to Hudson or perhaps Pres
cott As our member of Congress is
not supposed to be an especial admirer
of Mr. Baldwin and is constitutionally
in favor of preaervjnjj a*few acres, here
and there,’Of the ffiiflfc 4 domsnf for or
dinanly progressive settlement, Mr. Bald
win has sent on to Washington to do
the remainder of the lobbying about the
lower House of Congress, a substitute
in the person of a clever gentleman from
Hudson, wher is devoting consideiable
attention and characteristic disinterested
ness to the subject. It is said that Mr.
Julian, Chairman of the House Land
Committee, is more opposed to th s pro
ject than any of our own members and
will fight it to the end. Yet it may go
through.
This is the same wrong that we de
npunced moye than a ago wheq our
frieAds of the Hodson Star and Times,
with many words uncalled for, took the
cudgel up and denied that any scheme
was on foot, though we had before us
the printed bill for that object, which
bad then been introduced to the Senate.
It is an outrage as we then said, and
we now insist that if Mr. Baldwin must
have more lands to fill up any deficen
cies, let him fake them nearer bis own
road, even if be does not think they aro
quite as valuable in heavy pine or rich
prospective agricultural wealth as ours.

Bikhkial Sessions. — A joint resolu
tion, introduced by Mr. Miner, £9 mnesd
flie stale cowstitutioe. vo as to provide for
biennial sessions of the legislature, pass
ed the assembly by an almost unanimous
vote. An amendment of this kind is need
ed. We are governed too much.—
The following from the Madison corres
pondent of the Milwaukee Wisconsin,
plainly shows tbef ne4l of
The Wisconsin for the
last t n years, has passed a yearly aver
age of over 350 laws, about one third of
yylpeb either repeals, amende oy modifies
some previous net Our facilities for en
acting laws nre too great. Such frequent
changes of our laws, render them less
, efficient and less regarded by the people.
The common law of England has been
settled for hundreds of years. Our stat
ute: are so constantly changing that
hardly any lawyer pretends to keep track
of them. If w« amend the constitution
so as to prohibit four fifths of the local
legisl.-.tion, and provide fora session only
once in two years, the wants of the peo
ple would be sufficiently met, and SIOO,-
000 saved to the state every two years.
Michigan, Illinois and Indiana adopted
this plan years ago and it meets the
approval of a large majority of the peo
ple.

The engineers of the West Wisconsin
Railroad Lave spent several days, of late
prospecting in the northern half of St.
Croix county. The most favorable route
is reported by Fleming’s Mill, east of the
town of Erin, Uiquca west through Erin
to Dike St. Croit or St. river.—
If the route Is located to midson the
course adopted will be near the old An
derson Spring, now Day‘on’s, at the
head of Ten Mile Creek. But if the
road crosses the St. Croix at or above
Stilwater, our village is near enough on
a dir?ct line to very reasonably claim
the road, as one of the numerous attrac
tions of New Richmond.— gU C'rois

When the Hudson Star is sarcastic,
it looks like an elephant jumping with a
skipping rope, or attempting to play cro
quet. It’s joke about Senate confirma
tions, of course, is purely original, and
makes us feel so bad. But that kind
of a repudiation wasn’t half as ugly as
xHqgracajul/defeat yrhicb it sualaiued
in the overthrow of all its hopes in the
Senatorial convention last fall. That
• young boy ’ from Polk connty was con
siderably too sharp for th® Star and its
Clique.. As to the laud grant, the Her
ald will ‘chance a hat’ that it ain’t ex
tended.— Chippewa Herald.
Surgery.—On Saturday the 20th ult,
Dr. Hutchinson successfully removed an
oteteficente q£ a aharaoter, frota
the head of Mrs. Eleazer Holt, of the
town of Union, Pierce Co., Wig. The
tumor was located back of the right ear,
involving a poition of the ear and was
the size of a hickory nut It was of
over thirty years standing, and for the
last two or three years has been a source
of a good deal of irritation. — Durand

The Inflation Scheme. —A Wasb
ington special of the Bth«inet. eafW' -f\
The Banking and Currency Commit
tee bad a good deal of debate at its
meeting this morning, on the question as
to what should be done under Lough
ridge’s inflation instruction. The major
ity voted to report squarely for an addi
tional fifty millions of greenbacks to the
present circulation, but the minority are
io favor of meeting the order with a bill
adding that amount to the National
Bank circulation, with a proviso that it
shall go into the §oullj.and West. By
that time it is possible the minority view
may have gained strength enough to
command a majority vote in the commit
tee.

- St Crota Collegtate
To the People of the St. Croix Valley :
As the initiatory year of the S»L Croix
Collegiate Institute is now nearly two-tliir<la
spent, and as the rapid growth in |>rueperity
of the school calls for more suitable buildings.
M, as principal, deem it advisable to lay the
Whole subject before the public, preparatory
to moving in the matter of permanently loca
ting the Institute.
As the public is aware, I. entirely on my
own resources, commenced List September, ;
the great of opening and running a
sclmoU sueh as in my ow u estimation, the ,
people of this Valley needed. Laboring uh
tier many very trying difficulties, with but
lew pupils with which to start, engaging a
large corps ot teachers than many established ■
institutions had ever presumed ujam secur
ing, routing ata high rental a building not ,
planned for the purpo-e of a board i ng-school.
nnd,consequently, requiring a considerable
outlay in order to fit it to but partially meet
the wants ot even a small school, with many
looking on listlessly who should have been
strong agitators, if not warm patrons es tire
school, and last, bitt not least discouraging,
daily losing money. Notwilhitanding all
thia, 1 have carried the school forward with
all the vigor 1 could possibly bring to bear
upon it, until to-day it has gotten such a
strong foothold in tlie hearts of the people
that a beginning of sixteen pupils has multi
plied to seventy-three on the roll. The num
ber in attendance already exceeds tho capaci
ty of the building, and new steps must bo
taken to remedy thia, or soon I must refuse to
enter those, that come from far or near to re
ceive the advantages of the school.
I Lave already lost ano niaigniGcant sum
of money, and still the school with its pros
perity is not self-sustaining, and moreover,
can never be so in the present confined niisnit
able buildings. Something must be done,
grounds must be secured, buildings must be
erected, libraries, apparatus, Ac., must be
purchased, all calling for an outlay, certainly
too large for one alone to undertake, yet not
so large but what the burden ran lie made
light by the uniting of the people throughout
the Valley.
'■ Tim amount necessary to plarc the St.
Croix College Institute upon a safe and per
manent foundation, in good snlwtantial
buildings, one for gentleman, another for
ladies, is about ten thousand dollars, of
which only about lialf is risked from ths pub
lic. Certainly this wouhl be a small sacri
fice In order tha t secure to yon and
your children the benefits ot a first-class
institution. Surely you could not ask mere
ot me after a knowledge of what I have
already done in giving you what you so
much need. If I take upon myself one half
of the burden cannot, ought not, the people
to take willingly the other half. You ex
claim with justness that there is a great
financial depression throughout the .Valley;
but ought this to dollar us from looking to
the dearest interest of our lives—the educa
tion-wf onr ehddren. For my own part J
have already dene more, infinitely more, than
I am tn do. I have; besides the
money lost, and that which I must etill lose
in carrying it to the close of thy present
achonl yenr. given my whole time to the
srliovl. working diligently that I might
prove its entire feasibility. All this I have
done most willingly, without a thought of
putting the burden upon others ; but now,
after the plan is fully proved to be feasible,
and there is a strong desire for a continuance
of the sehoo] in your midst, I come forward
with earnest solicitations tor yon to take hold
and help rue in the work of making the
school wlmt it should and might be with com
modious buildings.
Who will first act in this matter? Whs
will be the first to talk or correspond with me
as to the most available plan for the perman
ent locating and building up ot the St. Croix
Collegiate Institute? Shall we do it by
gratuitous donation of those interested, and
who wish tosee the work go forward to an
early and successful completion, remembering
in such a cake I call for but halfof the required
amount, vis. >5,000 Shall 1 go forward
aud wll scholarships available for two or
three rear*, and then build upon my own
responsibility? Either will suit me so long
as it will accomplish the object desired, and
place me with good ample buildings at any
desirable poiet iu the St. Croix v alley, ready
to receive End do justice to the one hundred
01 more scholars that I am Confident I can
draw around >oe next September. Let me
say before closing, that the school should and
will l>e located wham the l»est inducements
are offered and the deepest interest seems to
l>e taken ii> the other Ukings, of course,
being equal. *N3vr i* the time for different
towns and places to act, in view of securing
to themselves permanently, the school—
Wherever they desire to compete for it, let
them not del«y, but call a meeting, rouse up
cac hand every one, and wheiever desired, if
informed, I will ioeetwi.li them, and tell of
the benefits to be derived from securing a
school of this class.
