The AGE OF HORsEs-A gentleman
from lllineis gave us piece of information
in regard to ascertaining the age of a horse,
after he or she has passed the ninth year,
which was new to us, and may be to most
of our readers. After the horse is nine
years old, wrinkle comes on the eyelid at
the upper corner of tile lower lid, and
every year thereafter he has one well
defined wrinkle for each year over nine.
Ii, for instance, a horse has three wrinkles
he is twelve; if four, he is thirteen Add
the number ofsswrinkles to nine, and you
willalways getft $50 says the gentleman;
and he is confident it will never fail. AS
great many people have horses over nine,
it is easily tried If true, the horse dentist
must give'up his trade.-Er.

Tomah Railroad,

The people of Black River Falls are
iubilant over their prospects for railroad
from Tomah. The jackson county Banner
has the following;
Hon. W. T. Price received a letter from
Mr.. Baldwin, the contractor, Wednesday
last, in which that gentleman says he 'has
closed the arrangement for building the
Tomah road" Not since the surrender OF
the rebel armies have or people been
blessed with such glorious news. Mr.. B.
writes that he viii be in Tomah on the
18th or 18th of this month, and that he is
ready to commence work in earnest. He
believes that the cars will be running to
Black River Falls by next fall.
This is the first time the contractor has
spoken SO encoaragingly, hence the cause
of the general expression of confidence
that the road will be built. We have not
doubt that work will be commenced or
the road this very month. 1t will be re
membered that large number of ties were
cut last year. f @

The territory now known as. Wisconsin
was claimed by France on the ground of
discovery by its missionaries and travellers
in 1870, who governed it until they ceded
it to England. 1t was held by the Eng
lish until 1888, when it was ceded to the
United States. 1t was claimed by Virginia
for one year, when she ceded her posses
sions lying northeast of the Ohio to the
United States Wisconsin was then under
the territorial government of Ohio. On
the 4th of July, 1900, the Indian Terri
tory was organized, and Wisconsin placed
under its jurisdiction, where it remained
until 1909, when Illinois Territory was
formed, and it was attached to that terri
tory until April IS, 1913, when Illinois be
came state. 1t was then Joined to the
Territory of Michigan, until organized as
the Territory of Wisconsin, in 1886.
So that our state was governed by the
King of France thirtythree years; 6y
King of England twenty years; by the
state of Virginia one year; by the Terri
tory of Ohio sixteen years; by the lndian
Territory nine years, and by Michigan
Territory eighteen years. She continued
Territory nearly twelve years, and was
admitted as State in 1S48.

to the School Laws,

During the session of the Legislature
just closed, several important amendments
to the school laws of the state were enact.
ed. One of these provides that given
text book having been introduced into a
school district, shall be kept in use for at
least three years. This amendment, to-
gether with another which prohibits school
superintendents from acting as agents for
book publishers, will be instrumental in
preventing much evil which has hitherto
resulted from the too frequent change OF
text books, and that frequently for the
worse instead of the better. .<
Another amendment empowers county
superintendents of schools to order at any
time the expenditure of an amount not ex-
ceeding twenty five dollars, when in their
Judgment it is imperatively demanded for
the abatement of any nuisance or the sup
ply of any pressing need on the part of
the school. The amount to be inserted by
the board, in the tax of the succeeding
year, if not on hand at the time. Another
act or section provides that county super
intendents may, acting in concurrence
with the chairman of the board o: super
visors of the town, declare any school
house unfit for the purposes Of a school,
and debar the district in which it is located
from drawing any school money from the
state until suitable school Accommodations
are provided people Of the district
having the privilege of an appeal to the
state superintendent of public instruction,
If taken within thirty days.

Hops.-The Baraboo Republic says many
of the estimates of the cost and profit OF
of raising hops are so erroneous as serious
ly to misead. 1t estimates that they cam
not now be grown for less than 20 cents
pound, even with yard started, the ex-
pense of which would average over $500
an acre. The production has been so
largely increased within the last two or
three years, and will be so very much
greater than ever this year, as to endanger
the overstocking of the market, and the re-
ducing of the profit ofhop raising to level
with that Of ordinary farming. 1t coun-
sells farmers to count the cost and weigh
well the chances before engaging in the
business. A remarkable decline is noted
in the price of hop roots within few days.
They have been selling at $40, $15, and
$40 per acre, they are now dull of sale at
S., the ordinary range being from So to
IS. Lots have found so poor market as
TO be actually given away.
The Boscobel appeal reports an
outrage on girl of unblemished character
there by quack doctor named Woodward
who had been prescribing for her for fits.
The old villain, man of nearly fifty, called
one evening during the absence of the
girls father, and sending her younger
brother away nnder the pretence of get
ting some medicine, he commenced making
improper advances toward the girl, against
which she demonstrated and ordered him
away, but he persisted, and with force at
tackled and struggled with her until her
strength was exhausted, and she was pow
erless and almost scnseless, at his mercy,
when his purpose accomplished he stole
away. He was arrested and committed to
jail the next day. He deserves long
course of discipline at Waupun,or some-
thing worse. 49, -
