In their social duties the mem- bets ot bis household, under the guidance cf lira. Rusk, have never failed to meet all the requlnaents upoa their time. Tbe death of a daughter in 1683 wis a sad blow. Since that time the reception bare not been so frequent aa before. Nevertheless, the house haa seldom been closed to callers and everyone who stepped within tbe doors waa greeted moat cordially and made to feel welrtitnei Tha governor will remain in the city during the session of the legislature, at least, while the family will be here a greater portion of tha time.

The ladies. however, being relieved from the social obligations of the executive residence, will spend a part ot tha time visiting rel alive in different parts of the state.

For tba paat two years ba baa greatly added to hia general reputation by con stant attendance at the farmers" insti totes in Wisconsin, where be waa one of tbe Leading and most valued lecturers.

Mr. Hoard baa given about S33 agricultural ad dreeaes Lb Wisconsin and there Lt scarce ly a farmer who does not know him Ua ia a man of fine moral character and warm domest'c tendencies. Hia brief political record La without flaw. Ha baa a firm will and isjadmirably qnalifkd to guide tbe ship of atata safely through tha course of bia gubernatorial term. Ia Mrs.
