A Young Girl Killed In Broad
Daylight.


This locality was thrown into state Of in-
tense excitemen by the news Of a, most dar
ing atrooity, committed in broad daylight near
the village of Two Rivers on the afternoon OF
the LIST inst. The facts as we have been eu-
abled to learn them are as follows:
A young German girl Of about l6 years, of
highly respectable character and fne appear
ance, living with the family Of Mr.. ]. G.
Kalb, was left alone in the house on that day,
and shortly afterwards was found by a little
girl from neighboring house, lying in the
middle Of the floor bleeding prousely Mrs.
Kalb had left the house not twenty minutes
before, and was Immediately summoned, but
the unfortunate grl was just breathing her
last as she came in. Upon examination a
wound was found just under the left breast
extending back towards the spine, evidently
inflicted by a sharp pointed instrument, and
passing through the heart A post mortem
examination was heldby DIR. Simon, and
coroner's jury returned verdict, that the de
ceased was murdered by SEINE person un.
known. i.H4 if lHE
At present there is no clue or suspicion rest
ing on any person, and the only surmise in
reference to the object of the assassin was the
supposition that there was q sum OF money
kept in the house.

Singular Incident.
TWENTY wears ago gentleman of

Twenty years ago gentleman of this
city resolved to move out west, and
started for his destination. In New
York he stopped at second class no.
tel and while there he was robbed Of
his purse containing some two thousand
dollars in gold. In the course of his
peregrinations he was successful and
had forgotten all about his loss, having
accumulated a handsome property
When the war broke out he was too old
to enlist, but feeling patriotic, he offer
ed his services to General Logan and
acted as Quartermaster to a brigade
One night, on march, the army ar
rived at small town in Southern Ala
bama, and according to orders he took
possession Of the inn for general head
quarters.od1 I jadw boa "&s asTiia5
While talking with the landlord he
discovered that he formerly kept hotel
in New York, and upon pressing his
inquiries found that he was the identi-
cal landlord of the house in which he
had been robbed. In the course of the
evening he arranged mock court-mar
tial and brought the landlord before it,
charging him among other things with
the robbery. Much to his surprise the
landlord confessed the robbery, and he
had his choice to restore the money or
die at sunrise. The man received his
principal and all the interest the land
lord could afford to pay, in gold, which
the gentleman invested in U. S. s $40
notes.-Boston Gazette.

Wisconsin State Bonds.

Among the western securities, says
che N. Y Erening Post of recent
date, we observe that the bonds of the
State Of Wisconsin are attracting more
attention. This State has a smaller debt
in proportion to its resources than most
of the other States. With a popula.
ton Of about 100000, an annual ex-
port of breadstuffs alone of over S15,-
$1,000, and property, whose assessed
value in 1861 was Sl80,934 ,454, the
entire debt of the State which can in
any event be thrown upon the market
does not exceed S1,33O,OO0. More
over, for the 81 ,250, 900 of debts which
has been contracted for war purposes,
the State has claim upon the General
Government.
Before the war the whole debt of the
State was only 100000, this limit be-
ing fixed by the constitution, except for
war purposes, so that with the war
power of the State to increase it's debt
will cease. Five or six hundred thou
sand dollars of the School Fund-its
most sacred trust fund--has been in
vested in the State bonds and certificates
of Indebtedness issued for war purposes,
This portion of the State debt can
never be thrown upon the market, nor
is it likely that any more bonds will be
issued, even should the war continue, as
the State has other trust funds sufficient
to supply all the demands in that direc-
ton. a-
The bonds now outstanding are pay
able as follows; $4,000 in 1867, $5O,-
900 in 1868, 100000 in 1877, and
100000 each year succeeding, until
all are paid
The several laws under which these
bonds are issued provide for the pay
ment of the annual interest and the
principal when due, and the State con-
stitution takes from the legislature the
power to alter or amend the laws in
these respects. The bonds all bear six
per cent. interest which is payable
semi-annually, the 1st of June, at
the Bank of North America in this
city.
This shows a healthy condition of our
State securities. Wisconsin may we'll
feel proud of the financial ability of her
servants at her State Capitol.

IoE A LIFE PRoLoNGER.-The prob
lem ofsuspending life by freezing seems
to be accmulating data Perch and
mullet have been brought from Lake
Champlain frozen perfectly old, and on
being put into tub of water have come
to life as lively as ever. A female con-
vict in Sweden is in ice on experiment.
A man was found lately in Switzerland
who gave signs Of life after being fro
zen for nine months. The power of
stopping while the world goes on may
be the next wonder. Ice-houses may
soon be advertised with comfortable ar
rangements for skipping an epoch, or
waiting for the next generation.

Army Rations.

Section II Of the act passed June
20, having modified the army rations,
the War Department has issued the fol-
lowing regulations: @
l. The ration is twelve ounces of
pork or one pound of salt or fresh beef;
eighteen ounces of soft bread or -four,
or twelve ounces of hard bread, or one
pound and four ounces of corn meal, and
to every one hundred rations, fifteen
pounds Of beans or peas, or ten pounds
Of rice or hominy, ten pounds Of green
coffee, or eight pounds Of roasted or
ground coffee, or one pound and eight
ounces of tea, fifteen pounds of sugar,
four quarts Of vinegar, one pound Of ad-
amantine or star candles, four lbs. Of
soap, three pounds and twelve ounces of
salt, and four ounces Of pepper. The
Subsistence Department, as may be most
convenient or least expensive to it, and
according to the condition and amount
of its supplies, shall determine whether
soft bread or -four, and what other COM
ponent parts of the ration as equivalent,
shall be issued.
g. On campaign, on marches, CT on
board of transports, the ration Of hard
bread is one pound. .
3. Dessicsted compressed potatoes,
dessicated compressed mixed vegetables,
at the rate of one ounce and half
of the former and one ounce of the lat
ter to the ration, may be substituted for
beans, peas, rice or hominy.
4. Beans, peas, salt and potatoes,
fresh, shall be purchased, issued and sold
by weight, and the busbel of each shall
be estimated at sixty pounds.
5. When deemed necessary, fresh
vegetables, dried fruit, molasses, pickles,

and issued, in lieu of any component
part of the ration of equal value. The
Commissary General of Subsistence is
alone authorized to order such pur-
chases.

Winter Wheat Growing.

Why not grow winter wheat more
generally in Wisconsin u? is question
of peculiar pertinency just now, and
after the good success of the present
year, with the general failure of the
spring wheat crop, many will be in
duced to sow largely this fall, trusting
in a snowy winter and moist spring to
carry it through successfully. :
Now while it is very desirable that
we may have favorable "wheat winter, !"
i. e., with plenty of snow, so uncertain
is it that word Of caution may not
prove useless.
Confident that this crop can be safely
and surely grown with proper treatment
and in view of large breadth being
sown, | wish to Offer few suggestions
upon the conditions of success: !:
lst. 1t is very necessary to secure a
vigorous autumn growth before severe
freezing, the better to resist the infu-
ence of open winter. To secure this,
sowing should commence the middle of
August and not be delayed until the
first of September. Any excess OF
growth or tendency to spindle, can be
easily checked by moderate grazing.
But in this latitude there is little to
fear from this cause, as the cool autumn
weather induces vigorous, spreading
habit of the stool.
I'd. To insure successful wintering,
it is necessary to have some winter
mulch. Abundance of snow insures
the crop until summer, but as the south
ern portion of the State especially is
very uncertain in this respect, it is posi-
lively necessary to adopt some ready
mode Of artificial covering or protec
ton
Among the various plans is one have
seen used successfully years ago, which
is to sow among corn at the last work
ing with cultivator, and letting the
stalks stand until growing weather in
the spring, thus affording a partial
shade and break-wind to prevent the
snow blowing off, and the effects Of
driving winds CT March.
But the course l would especially
commend is to return the straw to the
field during winter. Now I fully be-
lieve there is straw enough burned in
most sections, especially on the prai.
ries, to insure fair crop of winter
wheat. The farmer that grows 40 acres
of wheat, can, after reserving all his
cattle need, distribute evenly the straw
over, say, 20 acres of winter wheat
more or less, according to the bulk
and thus serve double purpose, pre-
serve his crop and redeem his land from
the notorious robbery SO disgraceful te
western agriculture. AS to the time
this should be done, l should say soor
after the ground is fairly shut up with
frost, and very thin coat evenly spreat
will secure a safe wintering and vigor
Gus growth to the orop.-J c. Plum
