lRELAND.-A correspondent of the New
York Herald, lately writing from Dublin to
that paper says that another and more ex-
tensive Fenian uprising is expected in Ire
land, and that the British commaader=ia
chief is forced to keep fully prepared for
active exertion at any moment.
The action when took place between three
armed Fenians, MCCLURE and two others
and the men Of British flying column, in
wood near Mitchellstown, was most ex
citing affair. The determined bravery Of
the Feniens, as we'll as the rapidity of their
fire, elected the admiration of the soldiers.
The three Fenians fought l2O soldiers unit
one of their number was killed, and the re-
naming two captured.
The Herald's Queenstown (Ireland) cor
respondent says there is an almost genera
exodus of the people to the United States
The class of people emigrating is generally
of the comfortable farming class.

Fiendish Barbarity.

The whole story of the Jamaica massa-
cres was pithily told in dozen lines by Mr..
John Gorrie, Jamaica barrister, who re-
Gently appeared before the Royal Commits
sioners in England as council for the Jamaica
Committee. Mr. Gorrie insisted that all
the leading acts of atrocity sworn to by the
negro witnesses were substantially corrobo-
rated by the evidence of British officers and
the white inhabitants of the Island, and
then proceeded as follows:
''Among these may be mentioned the
shooting of ten untried prisoners by one
black soldier, the hanging up in a chapel
of the bodies Of nine prisoners who had
been shot, the fogging by wire-cats, the
execution Of peasantry at their own doors by
soldiers. and in few cases by order cf Of
fcers, the executing of prisoners day after
day at Morant Bay on galIows that gave
no drop, the compulsory attendance Of un-
tried prisoners at the executions, the reck-
less burnings of hundreds of homes, the
hanging of persons who had been first fog
ged, and the fogging of persons who were
untried-in short the hideous details Of
what Mr.. Roundell, the indefatigable and
impartial Secretary of the Commission, has
Justly called the "Hep-like saturnalia o
martial law''-were all most fully substan
tiated out Of the mouth of others than ne
gro witnesses"

WHIsKEY VS. JUSTICE. The last legisla-
ture passed an act disqualifying liquor sell

all such persons are hereby prohibited from
acting as such officers

WISCONSIN BOARD OF IMMIGRATIoN.-

WISCONSIN BOARD OF IMMIGRATIoN.-
The late legislature passed an important
act to encourage immigration to Wisconsin.
The act provides for board of five mem
bers, of which the governor and secretary
of state, together with three other persons

man and Scandinavian languages, in such
numbers as may to the board seem expe-
dent.

RADICAL VS. RAD1cAL.-In his political
sermon, last Sundy, HENRY WARD
BEEcHER referred to the +" carruptions of
politics, the hagrant venality of legislation, y
as one of the perilous evils of the times
Said he:
The men at Washington and Albany
sold their country they sold their human
ity and their honor, and the trusts that
were traitors; they that lifted the sword
were not half so much traitors; that they
despoiled the old banner and trod it under
foot; they that fred upon the government
of the United States were not so much
traitors as were those vermin who were
crawling under the vital power of the gov
ernment."

BI~ Fernelius calls disease an affection
of the body, contrary to nature: purtuba-
ton Of its habits: a arrangement of its
courses. What disease is, sometimes eludes
human intelligence, but some diseases are
known-their origin, action and even their
antidotes Whoever has discovered an act
ual remedy for one disease, has done some
thing for his race. Doct. Aver has done
more, for his medicines afford us the means
to control and cure several dangerous dis
orders. We rarely speak on medical sub
jects, preferring to leave them to physicians,
who understand them better. But such
effects as are seen in our midst, on affec-
tions of the lungs by Ayers Cherry Pecto-
raj, on scrofulous complaints by his Sarsap-
arilla, on the several complaints that they
cure by Ayers Pills, should not be ignor-

Has any one nickel penny of 1858
me Washington Star says there S an active
search for them, and that they are consid-
cred worth twenty-five cents each, because
they have been almost wholly withdrawn
from circulation, and will be very valuable
by-and by in completing collections.
We find the above item going the rounds
of the papers, and copy it for the purpose
of letting people know that ace possess one
of those Identical pennies " of 1885," and
mean to keep it, too. IF a Democratic
penny, coined in 1858, is worth twenty five
cents now, what will be its value ten years
hence? 1t will be equal to an eighty acre
farm, with house, barn, stock, Be-, and
we shall lay it by for that purpose. No
twenty-five cents of Shanghai money can
coax our Democratic bird lit has an eagle
on it, away from us, and spectators, here
and elsewhere, may as well understand it,
for we intend to preserve it :" for rainy
day."

THEATRE. Turner's Society will, on
Sunday evening next, perform at their hall
fer the benefit of Mr.. FRANCIS MIKA, who
was once well known among us as gentle
man of taste and refinement, and who is
now totally blind. The play is entitled
"Begger and Banker" and was written by
Mr. MIKA, who, although blind, will assume
one of the principal characters in the piece
The receipts Of the entertainment will be
presented to Mr. MIKA for the purpose of
having his eyes operated on, and as the
object is charitable and worthy one, We
hope the large hall will be thronged.

A MATTER OF DUTY.-It is the solemn
duty of every grocer to refrain from selling
to his customers an article for food which
he knows is positively injurious to the
health, and he is deprived Of all excuse for
SO doing when better article for the pur-
pose can be readily obrained at the same
cost. Now the Best Chemical Sdleratus,
made by D. B. De Land & Co., can always
be had, and this is known to be pure, and
free from deleterious matter. No grocer
who regards the welfare of his customers
will fail to keep it.

BODY FoUND-Probdble Murder. w e
are informed by Mr.. ANDREW RETELLE, OF
Centreville, that the body of man aged
about As years, apparently an American,
was found on the beach in that town last
Tuesday evening by farmer named ZEIcH.
The body was dressed with white shirt,
black sack coat, black velvet vest, hight
colored pants and light boots. An inquest
was held by Mr.. RETELLE, and from a
bruise on the forehead and nose, and the
testimony of Or. LIsMAN, the jury found
that the deceased must have been killed and
then thrown into the lake, and that he could
not have been in the water more thar two
days. DR.. L. gave it as his opinion that he
was murdered, but it was possible that he
might have been struck by a boom or some
other portion of the rigging of vessel.
He did not appear like a sailor and wore
no under clothes of any kind. He was
partly bald and wore gray whiskers. The
body was buried in the village Of Centre

New BUILDINGS. The erection of new
buildings in our town the present year
bids fair to keep pace with that of previous
years and by the time the year is ended,
Manitowoc will shine forth CITY of fair
proportions.
Many of the buildings to be erected here
the present season will be constructed OF
brick. As there are four brick yards loca-
ted in this vicinity, and as lumber is getting
scarcer and dearer from year to year, we
may soon except that it will be cheaper to
erect buildings with lasting and fire proof
brick instead of decaying and inhammable
lumber.
Among the many buildings to be erected
on The South side of the river in our village
the present season, is building designed
for school house for the use of school dis
trict number seven. 1t will be built of
brick, will be thirty feet front by fifty five
feet depth, two stories high, and is to be put
up in substantial and endurable manner.
Six lots, facing Washington Square have
been purchased as a site, and when the
building is completed it will possess the
virtue of being useful as well as orna-
mental
On the corner of Eighth and Franklin
streets, also on the South side, there will
soon be commenced the erection Of large
building, designed for a frst-class Hotel,
for Mrs WILLIAMS. 1t will be of brick
will be thirty-six by seventy ght feet, and
three stories high, with basement.
On the corner opposite the last mentioned
site, Mr.. S. a. WooD will soon commence
the erection of large brick building.
There are also several more brick build
ings, of lesser-note, going up on the South
side
On the North side, and near the corner
Of Eighth and York streets, gentleman
from Chicago is erecting wooden building,
to be occupied as store.

FAVORABLE WHEAT PROSPECTS. The
monthly report of the agricultural bureau,
just out, says the indications Of she wheat
crop are generally favorable. The SHOWS OF
the past winter and the general uniformity
of cold weather prevented winter killing in
great degree. The spring has been late,
with less of alternate freezing and thawing
than usual, and the young shoots, as re-
suit, look green and vigorous.

AMENDMENT TO THE SCHOOL LAWS
During the session of the legislature just
closed, several important amendments to
the school Jaws of the State were enacted,
which will be found in this issue of the
Pilot. One of these provides that given
text book having been introduced in a
school district, that text book shall be kept
in use for at least three years. This
amendment will be instrumental in prevent
ing much of the evil which has hitherto re-
suited 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, at any time
when, in their judgement, it is imperatively
demanded, for the abatement Of nuisance
or the supply Of any imminent need on the
part of the schools, the amount to be inser-
ted by the district board in the tax of the
succeeding year, if not on hand at the time.
Another act or section provides that county
superintendents may, acting in concurrence
with the Chairman of the Board of Super
visors of the town, declare any school house
unfit for the purposes Of school, and de-
bar the district in which it is located from
drautng any school money from the State
until suitable school accommodations are
proyided-the p ople of the district having
the privilege of an appeal to the State Su.
perintendent of Public Instruction, if taken
within thirty days.

Denver, Colorado. Anr

Denver Colorado. April 10.
Lookout Station, 270 miles east on the
Smoky Hill route, was destroyed by Chcy-
emma Indians last Monday. Three employees
OF the Y. 5. Express Company were killed
and scalped, and ninety eight of the CON-
pany's horses st,len.
Gen. Hancock had reached Fort Zara.
His attempted treaty with the Indians had
been unsuccessful. He then surrounded
their camp, but before commencing the at.
tack sent forward messengers to propose q
treaty The camp was found to be deserted,
and most OF their property abandoned.
Gen. Hancock is supposed to be now on tho
war path. About ] 900 warriors passed
Downer station going north, probably the
same who burned Lookout Station.
