Grant County Herald

The Wisconsin printing office, Milwaukee, WM. E. Cramer proprietor and editor of the paper, was burned on the 25th ult., with several of the surrounding buildings. Mr. Cramer's loss some $3,000.

The books and a few other valuables were saved, but the printing fixtures mostly destroyed. Fortunately the proprietor is able to purchase a new and better office immediately, so the paper will not be suspended.

The Wisconsin is noted for publishing short articles, and therefore has the space to give the gist of everything transpiring—of little as well as great importance. You will always find in the Wisconsin, a condensed account of all that is going on in every department of affairs. It is the most universal newspaper in the State, and for such as want merely an abstract of everything, it is the best we know of in the western country.

The Wisconsin is Democratic in politics, though opposing nearly all the acts of our present National and State administrations and approving the opposite. The editor seems to be one of those rare exceptions among political men who go it blind for the party regardless of consequences, principles or honor; he is honest, else we are no judge of things. We receive the tri-weekly Wisconsin in exchange for the Herald. It gives the prices current of everything in the Milwaukee and other prominent markets, except the price of itself and the weekly Wisconsin, We suspect the price to be $2 for the weekly. It is a deserving paper, and the editor no doubt would be pleased just now to receive subscriptions from western Wisconsin.
