T hose Prizes.

hose Prizes.
We are ena b c this week
to present our readers with the grand
scheme of prizes to which allusion was
made in our last. We notice that contribu-
tons are fast pouring in on. Caleb Wall, in
Milwaukee, and we trust that we may be
equally fortunate in the receipt of similar
favors. There is no reason why Milwaukee
should get all the credit for enterprise in
the state, nor should all the poetical talent
in this region remain latent Here is a
chance now for its development. We be-
speak the attention of the possessors of it
to the following offers and ask for an i'm
mediate response:
For first best poem on swine-ology,"
showing why hogs should not be per-
mitted to run at large in the city with the
privilege of breaking down fences and en-
tering peoples door yards and gardens,
roofing the same up and making them
selves otherwise as disagreeable as posi-
BILE: one La Crosse Railroad Conciliatory
(alias Corruption Bond.
For second best poem on the same; one
share of the stock of, the old Chicago, St.
Paul and Fon du Lac Railroad Co.
For first best poem on the propriety of
passing city ordinance that the gates of
door yards, gardens and premises belong
ing to Aid. Bergen, Brown, Fischer, Glib,
Kusel, McHugh, Moore and Stimm (who
voted against instructing the marshal to en-
force the hog ordinance) shall be thrown
open and the "critters have full swing
therein till they { the aldermen, not the
hogs } shall be willing to cry peccavi and
restrain the nuisances the hogs not the
aldermen from damaging peoples prop
erty as they do now: one share of the
stock ofthe Watertown City Gas Light Co.
For first best poem in which shall be set
forth the beauty, consistency. good sense
and brilliancy of the idea entertained by
the city marshal that be must not enforce
any of the city ordinances until authorized
SO to do BY the common council, { ride his
action on the hog ordinance } /: one copy
of the charter of the city of Watertown
and accompanying documents bound in
calf
For second best poem on the same: one
WATERFOWL city bond issued for Railroad
purposes.

Common Council PROCEEDINGS.

The council met last Monday evening.
Mayor Dennis announced the death of
Governor Harvey and introduced series
of appropriate resolutions concerning the
same. The clerk read Gov. Salomon's
proclamation, and the council by an unani-
nous vote decided that the day mentioned
therein should be duly observed according
to the recommendation Of the Governor.
On motion of Aid. Leonard, Daniel Hall,
Esq. was invited to deliver an Grafton up
on the occasion. A committee consisting
of Aid. Leonard, Fischer and Baum was
appointed by the mayor to make the nee
essary arrangements.
Aid. Spalding, from the committee ap-
pointed in the matter of D. S. Chadwick,
late city treasurer, reported that the opin-
ion of G. B. Skinner, Esq, has been OBJ
tanned in which be holds that the sureties
who are on both bonds are liable for the
sum due the city from Chadwick. He al
SO reported the amount due to be $1199.
81. A proposition has been made by the
sureties of Chadwick, to settle the mat
ter by guaranteeing the payment of this
years rent Of the brick yard assigned by
Chadwick for the use of the city (the rent
being 125, 900 brick J and Chadwick fur
Their proposes to deed the yard to the city
subject to the claims of Theodore Prentiss
for $500. On motion of Aid. Moore the
whole matter was laid upon the table.
Aid. Leonard introduced resolution
that the city marshal enforce the hog ord
nance, Laid on the table by the follow
ing vote: Ayes, Bergen, Brown, Fisch-
er, Glib, Kusel, MeHugh, Moore, Stimm.
Noes, Baum. Leonard, Spaulding, Schatz.
On AID Baum's motion the treasurer
was directed not to receive any money for
license before the parties applying for Ii
cense have fled the bond required by law.
Aid. Moore introduced an ordinance to
repeal the one restraining swine from run
ming at large in the city. Pending the
consideration of the same, a call of the
house was ordered. During the absence
of the marshal in looking for the absent
ees, the council adjourned.

Set Out Trees.

Set Out Trees.
We had commenced an article urging
the propriety of setting out trees shrub
cry &C., when we came across the follow
ing in an exchange so apropOs to the
subject that we adopt it as our own:
The most charming means of making
house and lot in a village home-like is by
identifying it with trees and shrubbery.-
How snug aud coy looks white cottage
peeping through the foliage of fine lot
of shade trees, and surrounded by neat,
well kept garden, with here and there
fruit tree ladened with golden fruit, sug-
gestive of the more substantial pleasures
and Injuries of life All, there is an attrac-
tion-a charm about such home Of which
the tasteless family who can content them
selves with yegltating in dreary looking
house upon desert-ike lot can have no
conception. No indeed, such people have
no true appreciation of the beautiful,
whether of nature or art-no poetry in
their contracted souls, nor even dogger-
al rhyme! They look upon the sun as mere
ly mighty good thing to help raise turnips
and dry clothes; they would view the fear
full sublimity of a storm at sea as only
"rather skittish for email crafts; !" hu-
man biped as this cold blooded species
would walk through the galleries of the
Louvre with the same feelings that would
possess him while making his regular trip
from bis dingy place Of business to the
bare, dreary house he calls his home; he
would fix his opticts upon one of Angeloe's
CHELF D'oEUVREs with as much NoNCHAL-
ENcE as he would glance at sign board.
and would, probably, view Niagara Falls,
wondering why people made such fuss
over stream of water falling down a rock;
he simply could see nothing to hinder it.
A man who lives in a country town and
negects to adOrn his premises with trees
and shrubs is unworthy to enjoy the pure
country air and is only fit to live in some
dark alley of crowded city, where the
sun shines but just enough to make one
long for more.
The greatest charm Of country town
consists in its trees, gardens, &c., which
can often be made tie remedy in grea
measure deficiencies of situation and scene
ry; and yet this important truth is gener-
ally overlooked by the inhabitants of our
western villages. who slight the natural
means of beautiying their town to "put
on city airs with as much prospect of
success as had the tabled frog who envied
the dimensions of the OK and bust himself
in the effort to come up to him"
Now is the time for attending to this
business, and we trust our cit zens will
give the subject the attention it deserves.
There is no investment pays SO well as
small outlay for trees and shrubbery with
which to ornament your door-yards. Try
the experiment and see if this is not so.
Bg@ On account Of the holiday yes
terday our paper is too late for some of
the Friday morning mails.
