It affords us pleasure to announce in this issue that Prof William Hosington will deliver two lectures in this city on Saturday and Sunday evenings next. Our people are already convinced that the Professor is no humbug. On the contrary he has an established reputation as being a ripe and thorough scholar and possessing a thorough knowledge of the subject which he treats.

What reason, then, have tern--perance men to expect anything from such an organization As to protecting Christians from "boor ish innovations imported to this country from the monarchies and despotisms of the old world," allow me to give you an other bit of political historv. Some six or eight years ago, the republican State nominating convention introduced into its platform a resolution which I eannot now quote verbatim, but which was designed and understood to be a sop to the German infidel element of the State on the Sunday question. It was carefully worded, but such was undoubtedly its meaning and purpose. The demDcratic platform of the same year contained a similar resolution. The reason for this was, that some" efforts had been made, the year before, to suppress Sunday dance houses in Milwaukee.

The Germans were discontented, rampant, and threatening; and both parties thought it a good time to bid for the German vote. Thus we see that the only action the republican party in Wisconsin has ever ta ken with regard to "boorish innovations" has been in favor of said "innovations." All this talk about the protection of Christians and the suppression of the liquor traffic by the republican party is Jlopdod-dle -food for fools I This golden age will always be in the dim and distant future. The "ghost of a chance" will never be anything but a "ghost." When will tem perance men learn that all politicians care for is to keep them moving on the road "by-and-by," which "leads to the castle never 4th. What do I expect will be gained by the defeat of Pettit. Two things.

Ftrst, a merited rebuke wilKbe administered to politicians for deliberately trampling upon the moral convictions of thousands of voters. Such a rebuke is needed, and it must be a stinging one, in order to pene trate the thick hides of demagogues. Second. When politicians become con vinced that temperance men are henceforth determined to carry their principles to the polls, and vote only for sound tem perance men, they will be more careful to put such men in nomination and possibly something may be done in the way of legislation favorable to temperance. It'is because Republican leaders have thought themselves sure of the temperance vote, and knew they were not sure of the Ger man vote, that they have done as they have.

The defeat of Pettit, by the temperance men of the State, on the ground of his connection with the liquor traffic, would awaken them from this dream, and lead to a different course. Temperance men Christians! Is not this a desirable consummation And will you not aid to bring it about? Shall it be said that you are less true to principle than the German is to beer and infidelity? Will you pretend to be temperance men and yet vote for a man who has gained his thousands by means of the liquor traf fic? Will you allow the cries of the par ty shriekers to overcome the voices of conscience, religion, and reason? Th November election will determine. Go speed the right! Geo. C. Haddock.

Appleton, Wis. October 6, 1871. Fruit Growing In Appleton. The-Nursery and Vinyard of Messrs-Bennett Brings. In a former issue we briefly alluded to the business enterprise of Messrs Bennett Briggs.

Since then we have examined their premises and, to say the least, fourd them far in advance, in point of improve ment, of what we had anticipated. Their vinyard is situated on the west side of Fox River on a beautiful slope facing the east. The sou is a sandy loam and is well adapted for the' raising of grapes, Their vinyard now covers ah area of be tween one and two acres and contains about 1,000 vines, in the selection of which the greatest care aud practical knowledge have been brought into requis ition. They now have about eighteen kinds of grapes, including the best quali ties known to fruit raisers. Among the most prominent are: the Creveling, a new but very choice kind of fruit the Rogers Hybrid, No.

15, a very delicious variety; the Concord, an old and popular kind of grape it is ine stanuara iruit wnerever 11 i 't 1 is known. Messrs Bennett Brings have every reason to be proud of their efforts in this department of fruit raising. To give some idea of the extent of their success in this particular, we have only to state that they have raised this year something over two tons of grapes. The quality of their fruit is such as to secure for it a ready market wherever it has been introduced. Taking into consideration the fact that this enterprise was started only four years ago, and on a very small scale, we think that its present condition reflects great credit upon the proprietors.

They propose to continue making improvements and additions to their vinyard, and it is altogether probable that in a couple of vears more it will be one of the most attractive spots in the city. Messrs. Bennett Brioos also have quite an extensive nursery just west of the city in which they raise or propose to raise all kinds of fruit trees which are adapted to this climate. They have made the subject of fruit raising a study for some have acquired a thorough knowledge of every branch thereof We recommend them to the people of Northern Wisconsin as being perfectly reliable and straightforward business men who will fullfil to the strict letter every contract which they assume. Among those who have suffered the most, heavily by the Chicago fire are the Hammond Bro's, who have been doing an extensive business in this city for the past two years.

Their loss will probably reach $23,000 or $30,000. We sincerely regret to hear of this misfortune, as these young men were one of the finest and most enterprising business firms in the whole country. But they have the elements of sue cess in them, and we are confident that they will wring victory out of defeat. May success attend all of their bnsiness undertakings in the future. S0TICE.

We have this day Suspended Payment on account of our Losses by the Chicago Fire- Appleton Oct 11th 1871. 2w AVL city wanta 500 cords of maple bolta, for which he will pay $2.00 per cord. 7 arm era who have this kind of timber on their premises can make money by taking ad vantage of thi liberal offer. Mr. Samuel Harlow of Lawsbur, has shown ns a specimen of fruit bearing that is a real curiosity He cut from an apple tree on his premises the other day a limb, six inches long and about the size of a pipe stem that contained a cluster of apples' weighing three and a half pounds, The est Yet.

"Another precinct heard from." Mr. W. L. Boot of Grand Chute informs us that he raised last harvest ftOO bushels of winter wheat on twenty acres of ground. For so large a field this is the best average crop that we have heard of the present year.

Do so some more, William. Extra Time. The contract between our business men and Jlr. Wnii Haw tiiorne, for sprinkling College pired the first of the present month. The sprinkler, run one week long er than the specified time to make up for all deficiencies.

As it did: good service during the whole of the season, and par ticularly the extra week, we presume that every person who signed the subscription is well satisfied. nipples. Mr. John Det of Greenville presented a box of apples to this office the other day, embracing a half dozen differ cnt kinds of the best fruit that we have ever seen raised on Wisconsin soil. Mr.

Dk is considered one of the most success ful fruit raisers in this part of the country, having taken several premiums at our county fair this year. He is entitled to a resolution of thanks from this office for his liberality, which we hereby tender him unanimously. JVew Establishment. Mr N. E.

Morgan, ayoungman favorably known in this locality, has lately opened a Gro eery store at the old stand of Parish Fernanbez, on the corner of College Av enlie and Durkec street. He has opened with a fresh stock of goods and expects another extensive installment in a few days. Mr. Morgan is a young man of sterling worth and is well worthy of a lib eral patrtinage at the hands of our people Let him receive it. Shocking- Occident.

We are pain ed to record a terrible accident that hap pened a few days ago to a young boy of Mr. Alfred Galtix. He was out hunting, and while in the act of climbing over the fence the lock of the gun which he was dragging after him caught on one of the fence rails and the contents ot the piece was discharged into his hand, tear ing away all but the thumb and little fin ger, this misfortune seems ail tne more sad on account of the young boy having lost his other hand and a portion of the arm with it, only a couple of years ago. He will now be perfectly helpless. Horrible Tragedy.

Intelligence reached this point last Saturday of a most horrible tragedy that occurred in the vill age of Pensaukee the flame day, involving the loss of extensive. mill property and thirty human lives. The dispatch stated that the men were engaged at work in the mill at the time, and that the fire surrounded them almost immediately, cutting off all avenues of escape. The men J'werc literally roasted alive. This report seemed too horrible to believe, but subsequent news from that quarter confirmed its worst features.

Pockets Picked. Numerous pockets were rifled of their contents at the Northern Wisconsin Fair at week. Among the victims from this locality were Mr. Harmon Jones and Mr. O.

B. Adcock, the former of whom lost $14. and the latter about $16. These opera tions which prevailed throughout the entire session, taken in connection with the gambling that was boldly carried on at different points on the grounds was a shame and a disgrace to the officers of that otherwise well managed association. The attendance from this quarter will be much less another year, unless some as surance is given that this kind of plunder will not be tolerated in the future.

Fires in the County. Reports are reaching us from all over the county of the devastation caused by fires. In the town of Seymour the Baw mills belonging to Mr. Anderson and Mr. Whitnet met with a very narrow escape.

The fire from the adjacent forests made its way into the yards surrounding them and it was only by the most united and persistent efforts that the buildings were protected. In Liberty and Greenville the fire has spread over vast sections of timber, de molishing everything in the shape of combustible material. In some sections of the town of Cen ter the inhabitants barely succeeded in saving their house and dwellings from the almost resistless sweep of the devouring element. The first of the present week our own citywas surrounded by fire on every hand. On Saturday and Sunday the woods bor dering on Fox River east and south of Appleton were all ablaze.

Fortunately, it was confined to those limits. Some of the buildings in the western extremity of the city were threatened last Monday afternoon, but by the efforts of some of our people they were saved. The rain on Monday evening subdued the flames in every direction, and all is now considered safe. B. 6f I.

P. R. IZ. From an extra issued from the Green Bay Advocat office last Monday, we take the following Green Bay, Oct. 9th, 1871.

iMr. D. M. Kellt who is now in New York, writes to Mr. Abrams one of the Directors of the G.

B. L. P. Railway, that he will immediately begin to ship the iron for the first 40 miles of the Road, and thinks a cargo of rails will reach Green Bay on or before the 20th inet Also that he has completed arrange ments to put the 40 miles, between Green XiJ mil XVVT MUUVU, VpMlUU This maK.es mat great enterprise a rixxD FACT. There was a fire in Oshkosh last Sunday that destroyed $13,000 of property.

The fire broke ont in the sash, door and blind factory of R. R. Roberts A Co, and before the flames could he arrested they destroyed two warehouses, six houses nd two barns. To the Editor of the Post: Dear Sir Again I ask your indulg ence, while I reply to your criticism of my article in your last No. I have much to say, but will endeavor to condense.

1st. I am not a repulican, in the parti zan sense. That means one who always votes the straight ticket, no matter who may be nominated. I am no such man I do not bow my manhoqd at any party shrine. I allow no party whip to be cracked over my head I permit no par ty shibboleth to be howled in my ears, Do you, Mr.

Editor Have you commit ted your conscience and judgment to the keeping of the Republican party? Do you always vote the straight ticket at all elections If so, you have less manhood than I have given yon credit for. You are more to be pitied than the poor papist who commits his soul to the care of priest and pope. On the other hand, if you do ever scratch the ticket, you are then guilty of the very "sin which in me you say would be "more heinous" than to vote for a manufacturer of drunkards. You want to whip me into the party traces, but you propose to kick out of them yourself, whenever you feel disposed so to do. And I observe that this is a peculiarity of party leaders and papers.

They insist that others must always be true to party, while they themselves are false or true, as their own personal inclinations may direct. The State of New York is controlled by the democrats, simply because a few re publican papers and leaders are engaged in an eternal squabble about the spoils of office. Illinois is a republican state, but a majority of the late constitutional con vention were Democrats, because the quarrels of republican papers threw the convention into their hands. Some of the republican papers of Wisconsin give Mr. Washburn a support that is about as good as no support, because their favorite was not nominated.

The two republican papers of Outagamie instead of putting away their personal hostility for the sake of their party, in this stronghold of Democracy, are fighting each other like cats and dogs. I could fill the column with such instances of loyalty to party. And these are the men who, whenever temper ance men talk of scratching off obnoxious names, for the sake of of form ing a new organization, read them grave lectures on the duty of being true to party! Out upon such arrant hypocrisy, 2nd. Parties are useful and desirable only as instruments for the accomplishment of good. For the last few years, I have acted mainly with the republican par ty, simply because that party was right on questions which then assumed great prominence, and demanded immediate settlement.

Those questions have been settled. The war is slavery is abolished the states are the negro votes. All thi3 is settled so far as the people can settle it. The democrats acquiesce. Whether they are honest and sincere or not, I will not now discuss.

At all events these question;) are not before the people, at the present time. Other questions, however, arc before us; and among these, none is so important in my opinion, as this temperance and liquor question. To my mind it rises far superior to party and the defeat of a man who helps to sustain a traffic which absorbs six hundred m.llions of dollars annually, and gives back nothing in return but misery and death which sends one hundred thousand men annually into drunkards, graves, and is doing all in its power to pollute and destroy our young men is of far more importance than the mere triumph of a party, in an election where no great moral principle is directly involved. If the republican party has nothing more to do than to hold on to power, it is time for it to be buried. And it will be buried, speedily, unless it shall take up other measures of reform, and carry them on to success.

Do not think. Mr. Editor, that 1 the Christian and temperance men who have constituted so large a proportion of that party will be content to sit down forever and mumble over past deeds, like an antiquarian handling mummies. Don't think the name republican will always hold them. They are slow to break away from old associations; but they once broke away from the democracy, for the sake of a great principle, and if I read aright the signs of the times, they will break away from the republican part', after a few more insults such as you concede the nomination of Pettit to be or as soon as they become fully convinced that they have no reason to expect any further pro gress or reform on the part of that organ ization.

And they will do this from prin ciple, not for spoil, or office, or to gratify personal spite. 3d. I do not refuse to vote for Mr. Pettit because I expect that the democratic party will concede anything to the temperance element of the State. I have long since ceased to hope for anything from either party, as such, until temperance men shall take such decisive and united political action as will command respect from politicians who respect nothirg but the ballot.

You say the Republican party has "never failed, whenever a ghost of a chance for success has presented itself, to favor the enactment of such laws as would suppress the liquor traffic, and to protect the rights of a Christian people from the boorish innovations which have been imported to this country from the monarchies and despotisms of the old world." I could scarce credit my senses, sir, when I read that paragraph. The republican party has been in uninterrupted power in Wisconsin, by majorities ranging from five to twelve thousand, for a period of about fourteen years. Just previous to that, while the democracy held the State, the people voted on the question ot prohibition. It was carried, and the legisla ture passed a bill to carry out the expressed will of the people. Barstow vetoed the bill, and there the matter has rested from tbat day until now.

Daring all this time that the republican party has been in power, the temperance question has been constantly agitated but I have never learned that the dominant, party, as such, has ever given a particle of aid or comfort to temperance men. I have never learned that a single law has been passed favorable to temperance, and hostile to the liquor interest, i I have never learned that a single word of sympathy or encouragement to the temperance cause Be sure and attend the lecture at the Congregational Church next Saturday and Sunday evenings. The Pulp mill is running day and night. We continue to do job printing of all kinds cheaber than the cheapest. G.

H. Richmond has one of the most inviting stores in the city in his new quarters. Gus Grignon lost22 tons of hay by fire at Kaukauna a few days ago. A joint discussion between Wash-bcrn Doolittle took place at Fond du Lac last Saturday. Four candidates are announced on the Democratic side for County Superin-tendant.

The Crescent says that "Butternut" timber is a choice article. It is rapidly depreciating in value, howeyer. The examination of teachers will be gin in this city next Monday and continue three days. Our city authorities have done a good thing in ordering the city reservoris filled with water. It is probable that the price of whea will be increased in consequence of the great Chicago fire.

Remember tne poor of our city as cold weather approaches. Reports are constantly reaching us that the fairs all over the State have bee very successful this year. The fire from the woods trespassed unon onr citv limits at several points th first of the present week. High winds for the past few days. Our city schools are being more ably conducted than ever before.

The fire in the Northern woods has driven out the wild game' We notice that quite a stretch of grading for the Manitowoc Road has been done in this city. Next Saturday a Sunday School picnic will be held in the town of Greenville. Mr. Robt Hutchinson of Mapl Creek lost a building in New London by fire last week. (The crop of apples in Outagamie County has never been better than the present year.

New buildings continue to be erected in Appleton. Next Sunday evening was the time that was appointed for the next temperj ance mass meeting. D. xl ammel son received some in juries by being run away with a few days since. MMouse uurnea.

a house belonging to Mr. L. KNiCKERBOckER of the 4th ward was destroyed by fire last Tuesday morn- ng. The fire was started by the dropping of a live coal into some combustible ma terial, as one of the family was preparing to burn a pile of rubbish near the house Fortunately most of the contents were- saved. Our fire company responded immediately to the alarm, but there being no water in the vicinity, could accomplish nothing, 1 in en mixniottton.

ine ladies of fhe Athena Society gave a very success ful exhibition in the College Chapel last Friday evening. ine hrst teature 01 the programme proper was the Salutatoria by Miss C. VanVleck. We presume this young lady had some pleasant words to say, but hav ing selected the Latin tongue in which to express her thoughts, we were unable to discover the "thread of her Her production was well delivered, how ever. An essay, entitled "wrecked," was next read by Miss E.

Pomkrot. Her subject was well treated and evinced considerable lhought, and ability of clear expression The reading was hardly distinct enough to he heard with ease in all parts of the house. "The Culprit Fay," a happy selection, was read by Miss Mary Knox. Her per fect ease and graceful figure on the stage combined with the complete control and modulation of her voice to suit different periods, as well as a thorough conception of the authors thoughts, rendered the reading of this selection an attractive feature of the entertainment. The following resolution was discussed by Misses Gertie Spearman and Mary Cross, the former taking the affirmative and the latter the negative Resolved, that the study of music is of more importance to young ladies than the study of mathematics.

Miss Spearman's opening speech was a very creditable and successful effort, producing, as she did, some very pointed evidence in favor of her side of the question. On the other hand we have seldom heard from the Col lege rostrum a series of more logical and conclusive arguments than those presented by Mis Caoss. This lady won the decision of the judges. The closing feature of the programme was a reeitation by Mis Lillie Potter, entitled the "Pied Piper of Hamelin. The least that we can say of it is that it was a creditable conclusion of a very creditable exhibition.

The music throuhout was of a very high order and each piece was exceedingly well executed. A BIALT GOOD LYETI0X. It is very seldom we commend to the public in this way patent improvements and inventions, which belong more properly to our advertising columns. What we have to commend, however, so deeply concerns the health, happiness and comfort of our American women, that we make no apology for giving it our most emphatic approval and endorsement. The invention refered to is the great American Washer, which is claimed to be in every conceivable respect superior to any other "washer extant" It is the smallestl most compact, most portable, most easily oper ated, and is nott all liable to get out of order, its constructson is so simple, that even a child can be successfuly taught to operate in an incredible short space of time.

Some of the most prominent and desirable features in this "washer," which is an inducement in itself, are worthy of especial comendation. They are these It is always ready tor use there is no adjusting no screws to confuse and annoy, and no delay whatever in adapting it. Everything seems to have been done that ingenuity could suggest and in our estimation' it is simply a practical, sensible and beautiful invention, and only requires to be seen to be (appreciated, which, can not fail to please the most fastidious.

Doolittle, Democratic candidate for Governor of Wisconsin, deliver ed a political discourse in the Turner Hall, in this city. We confess to no small degree of astonishment at the diminutive size of the audience that assembled to listen to the great expounder of the "new departure" on that occasion. To say that there were two hundred and fifty people present is we believe, estimating the num ber at the very outside figure. To say also, that one third of his auditors was composed of Republicans is a statement that every person present will readily confirm. Time was when Senator Doolittle could draw an audience in Appleton second in size to no other living man.

But that was when his official life was marked by no unworthy or disgraceful act. In former years the masses admired him for his brilliant talents because they were consecrated to a whole purpose. But, as the distinguished Senator some times says, "time changes." So it does. And all that prompts people now to go into his presence is a morbid curiosity that we all have to behold a grandeur in ruins. II is speech was very brief and excited little or no enthusiasm.

Our heart went outin pity towards the once distinguished Senator as witnessed him in his efforts buffeting against facts, the disolving of which defies all eoquence and logic. Here is a specimen argument which the Senator employed tf justify his last departure. The "infamous Ku Kluxjbill," as he termed it, that was exactedat the last session of Congress was enough to drive away any patriotic man from the ranks of the Republican party. This bill formed the subject of the major part of his discourse. In fact this was about the only point he tried to make against the party in power at least the only one that would seem to justifiy his course.

Now when our readers come to remember that theSmator's desertion from the Republi can party dates some three or four years back of the time this bill became a law, they will understand how well hesucceed-ed in fortifying his position. What an unfortunate thing it was for the Senator, that this infamous bill was not passed some four years sooner that it was. It certainly would have helped him out of his present dilemma. The closing of the meeting was the tamest part of the whole affair. There was not a single person in the audience who even suggested the propriety of giv ing three cheers to theirstandard bearer.

Democrats would not belieye us if we said tbat the whole affair was a com plete fizzle less. put then it was, neverthe- At the first meeting of the editors of Northern Wisconsin, at Oshkosh on Wednesday of last week the following named persons Were elected officers of the association Col.
