The Advertisement of this old and reliable
Milwaukee firm win be found in our columns
Of to-day. They have had . large trade with
Iowa since the opening Of the M. l. MR.. Road
in the spring Of 81. and they seem determined
to retain It. A circular from their house. show
ing the price of Groceries, is before ", and We
iind some material reductions in the price Of
staples. In Sugars there has been steady de.
cline aimee early in July, Ito 81 cents being
the present ruling rates for fair'to clarified N.
o. Coffee is firm at II to l31< for Rio 10 ex.
ira Laguyn. Teas are very low and s. & G.
have an immense stock Of them at Is to IS, an
excellent article being furnished at about IS
cents. In Soaps, Candles. Nuts, Tobaccos,
Cigars and all goods that go to make up Gro.
Gerry Stock. S. 4 G. are ready for orders from
the country. There are few other Crocers in
Milwaukee but these gentlemen are the most
liberal in placing their business before our rea-
ders and We conclude that they also will be
found the most liberal dealers. Our acauain-
lance with them is now Of nearly two years
standing. and We have ever found them tip top
men mercantilely and socially.

Editor North Iosca Times.
Dean Sin LA your paper Of. the 24th
inst, I see you have an article stating that
Judge Murdoch fined and imprisoned me for
contempt Of court, and that the matter was
finally settled, &c. This is not exactly cor.
rect; the matter is not "scttled" Jet. com.
menced an action for false imprisonment
against Judge Murdoch while was under ar.
rest, and that is not settled yet, and I think
will not bs at present. AZ to the "hne and
imprisonment you have placed the cart before
the horse; ! was imprisoned first and fined af.
forwards. and while was locked up in JAIL
In fact there was no judgement pronounced
against me until after ! had been locked up,
and Judge Murdoch has not yet given me an
opportunity to be heard touching said contempt
In this respect this case reminds me Of the
celebrated case in the good old Bay State, q
long time ago, which was something after this
fashion,
Ona time when the military spirit of the
people ran very high in the United States, the
ee'csed people had a company Of their own or.
ganized, and on one Of their drill days there
was - charge preferred against one Of the pri-
Yates in said company the Captain. (Mr.
Cuffee,) boiling with wrath and patriotism, or.
dered the Oakley to bare his back and receive
twenty-five lashes with the cat o nine-t tails. and
after the poor fellow had been numerically
fayed, the Captain, with great show Of pom.
posity, proclaimed a. follows:
"There, Cody dam : Judgement pronounc.
ed man whipped now bring on your evil
dencc!'
So with Judge Murdoch suppose his high.
ness will have the evidence at his leisure.
Respectfully. yours.
