"A word In regard to our mail facil-
tiles. The contractor runs-runs, did we
say? incorrect, cra,ULs-a team of mules
between this place and Clarks Mills
Reader, did you ever see those mules :?
MOI well then, you have lived in vain. !"
They are the most remarkable quadre-
peds on this continent. IF Barnum had
EN- he would make a colossal fortune
exhibiting them as specimens of animals
now extinct-for surely no one ever saw
anything like, N this generation! We
remember to have seen government
muells that hauled heavy loads and for
months had nothing but oak bark to eat,
the astglngont qualities of which would
shrink them to one-half their original
size, but they were fat as seals compared
with the team we refer to. Why they
are so poor that did not the driver hold
tight rein the poor critters would fall
down and perhaps never rise again. Then
the wagon-and such a wagon! 1t is
properly named, for every wheel contin-
ues to wag on as it goes through the
street, leaving trail which snake would
go crazy in trying to follow. Now reader
do not suppose that we speak so lightly
in regard to this team and wagon because
the mail does not arrive till an hour after
it should week days and two hours after
it should on Sundays Not by any
means, we do not like to see cruelty to
animals, and it is distressing to hear that
old wagon go screaching through the
streets that's all.

oIsoNED.-Again we hear Of more
poisoning by the eating of wild parsnips.
Two children of Mrs. Shedding in the
eastern part of Waukesha county, we're
poisoned a few days since by eating them.
One of them, girl ten years old, died a
short time after, but the other recovered.
A few weeks ago several children in Mis-
souri, were likewise poisoned, and two or
three of them died. Several deaths have
occurred in Iowa and other places during
the spring, from the same cause.

Charley Walker, the genial, able, in
defatigable President Of the Jones Ii
brary Association, on Tuesday last pre-
sented to the County Board the subject of
County Historical Society to De organ
lied in connection with the Library Asso-
citation. and requested little aid The
cause has already received two good lots,
from Col. Jones, and now is the time to
carry out the project if ever. 1t will be OF
great use to the county to have some re-
cord of its earliest settlers, AMI of events
that transpired when they first came here.
No such record now exists save in the
memory of our old men who are daily
passing away. What is done must be
done quickly.

MAD DoGs.-As there is now consid
cradle excitement in Wisconsin about
mad dogs, and deaths Of persons have
resulted from Hydrophobia, we copy the
following, which is vouched for by an
exchange as reliable cure. If true the
recipe is worth preserving:
The bite must be bathed as soon as
possible with warm vinegar and water !;
and when this has dried, few drops Of
muriatic acid poured upon the wound
will destroy the poison of the saliva and
relieve the patient from all present or
future danger"

HARBoR WoRK.-The contract for
doing the work on our harbor was reet
by Mr.. Wheeler, the Engineer in charge,
at Milwaukee on last Monday. Mr..
Smoke, the old contractor, was the sue
cessful man. We understand that the
contract price is a little lower than the
first and that the government will save
from 5000 to $500 on the present appro-
priation. Work is to be commenced at
once.

LAUNCH OF THE NEW SCHOONER
LOUISE MCDONALD.
A Splendid Launch and a Beautiful
Vessel.

According to notice given in these col
umns week ago the launch of the ia
nous new vessel built at Jones yard took
place last Saturday afternoon. A large
concourse of citizens were present, for
notwithstanding the fact that launch
occurs SO frequently here the interest in
such events does not seem to flag. 1t is
a grand sight, and inspires one with feel
lngs and emotions which no feeble pen
can describe. You see vessel in the
water and you are not particularly struck
with its appearance, but go see it on the
stocks and it is different matter The
men on it, under and around it seem so
small in comparison! Then stand close by
the huge monster, elevated some feet
above the ground, see the ropes cut and
see it majestically move away-then is the
moment when the whole being is thrilled
with the grandeur Of the spectacle. When
we arrived the men were cuttins; .way
the blocking underneath, upon which the
vessel really rested Their work, as they
split away block after block reminded one
Of the efforts Of those who contend
against difficulties to accomplish some
great good. They tumble over block af
ter block of error and it seems to work
no change, but at last all are removed,
and with rush which makes people
stare the good is achieved Half an hour
before the launch the colors bearing the
name of the craft, LOUISE MCDONALD,
went up to the mast head. She is nam
ed after the daughter of former resi-
dent of this place. who we are informed
presented the craft with her colors. A
little after three o'clock the signal was
given, the ropes cut and the vessel slid
away to its watery element as nicely and
easily as though it did not weigh more
than fifty pounds. She draws 4 feet of
water, has plenty Of sheer and sits in the
water like thing OF life. She fully meets
the expectations Of her owners and build
er. Her dimensions are as follows:
Length of keel III feet; Depth of hold
s feet, Breadth Of beam % f. She is
built of the very best timber the county
affords, is edge bolted and square fasten-
ed, has three matches and is calculated
for either grain or lumber. Her Ton
mage, new measurement, is 19l 59-1O0.
She will be ready to sail in about week,
when she will take on a fall load of lum-
Der at Jones' mill for Chicago She is
owned by A. D. Jones one half, d. j.
Easton one fourth, Jasper Hanson one
fourth. She was built by the last named
gentleman, cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000, and is expected to carry about
$4,000 bushels of grain. As heretofore
stated, she will be sailed by Capt. Joseph
Edwards of this place.

GIVE Your Guild A LOCAL PAPER
There is so much truth in the following
which we find in the Fond du Lac Re
porter, that we copy it entire;
"a child beginning to read becomes
delighted with a newspaper, because he
reads the names Of persons and things
which are familiar, and will make pro-
gress accordingly. A newspaper in one
year is worth quarters schooling to
child and every father must consider
that substantial information connected
with advancement. The mother of
family; being one of the head and having
more immediate charge of children,
should herself be Instructed. A mind
occupied becomes fortified against any Ills
of life and is braced against any emer-
gency. Children amused by reading or
studying, are of course more considerate
and more easily governed. How many
parents who have not spent twenty dol
lars for books for their families would
have given hundreds to reclaim son or
daughter who has ignorantly or thought
lessly fallen into temptation
