OXFORD, September miles west of Packwaukee Station, in the benutiful valley of the Neenah, is the little village of Oxford, so named by some of the carly settlers who came from not made that improvement which was native a place.

Although the village has Oxford, New Jersey, in honor of their expected twenty years ago, when the Chicago, Portage and Lake Superier Railroad first located their station here, it is a pretty little town with a grist mill, hotel, two stores, two churches, a fine public school building and a goodly number of dwelling houses. There is a good farming country around, and an enterprising population are located here, It in interesting to observe so much improvement in that portion of our state that lies north of the River Portage, known as the "Indian For long time it has. been supposed that this region with its sand bluffs and marshy lowlands would not be a valuable place for an enterprising farmer, and because it would not produce large crops of wheat as the prairie farms, it has been often overlooked and neglected by those who were seeking farms homes. It has been discovered in late years (hut this region with proper management is the most desirable region in the state, for special kinds of Lusbandry, and the farmers here are getting along quite as prosperously as they are elsewhere. In Marquette County, the other day, we saw some fine fields of corn, which they were beginning to cut up, and the clover seed and potatoes nud buckwheat were certainly a8 promising 18 any we had seen elsewhere, The large herds of cattle and bogs, which are raised here are nn important part of the income of the farm, while the sandy bluffs and marshes are ntilized for pastures and hnv, leaving the oak openiugs and bottom lands for ploughland and the tillage of the farm.

The cranborry marshes north of Berlin, and in Juvenn County, give their owners a handsome income, nud taking into consideration the abundance of wood and water, the convenience to good markets, the accessibility of schools and churches, this region is us desirable as any in the land in which to live and carry on farm. It seems to us that a man ought to hesi- tate a long time before he leaves the privileges and blessings of Central Wisconsin to emigrate to the sultry plains of Kansas or the blenk prairies of Dakota, especially when he sees that a large number of those who have already gone out to these new regions of the far went, are glad enough to return to Wisconsin to settle down contentedly tor life. It has often been remarked that the scenery of the Wisconsin was tame and monotonous, and it any one desired to look upon the sublime works of nature he must go westward to Colorado, or eastward to the New England states; and yet those who have traveled through the wild fastnesses of the Rocky Mountains and explored the rugged wastes of the Adriondacke tell us that thereis a grand. enr in the scenery around the Wisconsin River at the rapids of Mosivee or Wauanu and especially in the Dells, at Kilbourn, that is wonderful in interest and of indescribable benuty. It has been the privilege of many thousands of straugers and friends to visit the Dells of the Wisconsin River during the present season, and all who have been there have delighted and 'natonished nt the grandeur of the river scenery and the wierd beauty of the roeky canons and the picturesque gulches of the river.

Wo went up from Portage on a St. Paul freight, and in the beautiful moonlight had some fine views of the Wisconsin river below the Dolls. There were some rafts of logs and lumber swinging lazily by the shore and here aud there grent rocky islands of sandstone, with pine trees growing on them and high banks of silvery rocks and foliage on the opposite. side. Passing Taylor's Glen" our train stopped on a siding for the Chichgo express and we walked up to the new brick depot, which is a very comfortable and plonsout improvement on the old ouc.

The roar of the river and the in. describable beauty of the scenery took away our sleep and we strolled along to the massive railrond bridge and had a grand view of the rugged wildness of the lower Dells from the pier, The "Dell Queen" with gay company of passengers waS just coming ont of the "Jaws of the Della," and the sound of the bappy voices and the music of the band was a delightful serennde for weary traveler. It has been a fuvorite excursion for the summer guests at Kilbourn to go up the river in the evening, for while the Coldwater Canon and Witches' Gulch and High Rock and the Nary Yard are wonderful in the day time, there is an additional interest ob- it served in the witchery of a moonlight erening, and the light and shades of the full moon brings out the full grotesque and romantio effect of these curious rocks nud gulches, Captain Bell steers his trim little stenmer to thelanding and we follow, the happy voyagers to our hotels, are soon lulled to sleep by the muffled sound of the river and the refreshing breezos from the north. Kilbourn has become an important place of summer rest, and the objeotive point of many excursions to the famous Dells, Here are people from all sections of the country. The hotels and boarding houses have been crowded and it is only lately that the numbers bare been thinned out by approach of cooler weather.

Here are whole families of refugees from southern cities and business men and commercial travelers, and largo number of young people who say be they are enjoying the bracing air, the fine boating and fishing and the wonderful scenery. Kilbourn seems to be the favorite place for bridal toura this sea800, We noticed two happy couple the other night, and a friend of ours told us he went up the river a few evenings before with fix radiant brides and their joyful husbands.

THE FARMER, What Col. Vilas Has to Say About American Farm Homes -The Nurs. erics of Great Men and Great Women. Col. Vilas, of this state, delivered the address before the Minnesota state fair at Rochester, on 7th inst.

A few er. tracts are subjoined: Demagogues love to thrum our cardrama with their clamor of the wrongs the agriculturalist suffers, and stir spirit of unrest. Their reguJar outcries are doubtless proof of the bealthy condition of our free political atmosphere; but sometimes this mark of salubrity seems a trifle too abundant. Calm wisdom, with a broader view, superior to the irritations of the passing moment, perceives the sold foundations for satiafaction in our present state, and sure hopes for steady progress with advancing years. Before railroads were devised, there was no extensive freight communication but by water.

And that was valuless unless conveniently accesuible. From this, the agriculture of pest ages gathered around the seas and lakes, or lined the river's margin. It girt the Mediterand made famons the valley of the Nite. Tho unwatered world of the interior was left to the wandering nomad or the forest barbarian.

The reserve corps of barbarism las back in the plaine of Russia and Tartary, which nourished the fierce savages who could live OD cqune flesh and carouse on the milk of mares. So, too, water communication WAS slow and tedious, even when accessible. That is true, especially of inland navigation. It ia weeks by water from St. Paul to New York, though the aid of water be invoked; and in northern climes navigation is available for but balf the year.

STATE POLITICS. How the Press of the State Talk About the Nomination for Republican Gubernatorial Candidate. HUDSON Star: The Busk boom boometh, bat it has a good deal to do to overtake the Warner wave. MERRILAN Leader: J. M.

Rusk and Hans B. Warner seem to be in the lead now for the republican nomination for governor. The success of Mr. Rusk will probably lend to a serious defection in the party ranks. APPLETON Crescent: Gen, Rusk is satisfactory to the federal office holders, the other corporations fellows and may as the well machine, give it and up.

He has DO other recommendatory qualifications for the governorship that the world knows of. RIPON Commonwealth: Hon. Jerry Rusk, of Viroqua, Vernon County, is fairly in the field as a candidate for governor, a position which he would ill with ability and honesty. He has been a prominent factor in state politics for years, having settled in Vernon County in 1858, where he has ever since resided. HUDSON Star: For an eleventh hour candidate Gen, Rusk appears to be developing A great deal of strength, particularly in western and south western Wisconsin.

He has hosts of friends among the soldier boys, as well as in the state large, and is a foeman that no candidate however formidable can expect to walk away with. Bowman is also an available jet equine. being looked upon with much favor as. BRANDON Times: A Wisconsin correspondent of the Inter-Ocean gives an interesting review of the gubernational canvass in this state with sketches of several candidates. He thinks that General Rusk, the last in the field, will probably win the race, and if he should there no doubt whatever of election.

General Rusk has many worm friends who take an immediate interest in his success this contest, and the soldiers are with him almost to a man. OSHKOSH Northwestern: Some enthusiastic friend of Gov. Washburn, or, is more likely, some opponent of General Rusk, brings the name of the exgovernor as a candidate for the head of the next republican ticket. Gov. Washburn is in Europe, and, of course, has not been consulted.

Were ho at home, would allow his name to be ly, mentioned in opposition to Gen. Rusk, neither would the latter place himself in antagonism to his old friend. BARABOO correspondence of Reeds- burg Press: Hans B. Warner appears by have the largest following here for governorship, though there are some pretensive politicians who occasionally utter a shriek of opposition to his candidacy, on account of his nationalty. The Milwaukee regency, when the time comes, will show great strength, as it always has, and urge with power and unity the nomination of Gen, Rusk.

Between these two gentlemen the gubernotorial nomination undoubtedly lies, though stranger things have happened political histury than the appearance the a dork horse which may appear and of carry all the honors. FOND DU LAC Commonwealth: There evidently a literary bureau in Madison new somebody's interest, and it is doing work very slyly. A late communicato a Milwankee paper undertakes to and therefore would be a that Rusk is a fierce temperance didate because the Germans wouldn't support him, and that "Bill Price, probibitionists, will fight Rusk, therefore he could not get the temperance support. This is a melansituation, indeed, and the Madison the correspondent deserves a medal for tee discovery. If generai can't get the temperance nor the anti -temperance vote is certainly in a bad way.

LA CROSSE News: The attention of 321 republicans of Wisconsin is called to article which we print on the second gust. this issue of the Daily News went of the Milwaukee Sentinel concerning candidacy of General Rusk for the governorship, The article shows that ring are not only endeavoring to nominate Rusk by the usual wire-pull- is but are corruptly using money. from Whether the republicans of Wisconsin propose to stand by and witness such proceedings without protest remains to seen. We are glad to know that strong opposition exists against Mr. in La Crosse, and the methods he two his friends are resorting to should body receive rebuke elsewhere as well.
