CoMpLIMENTARY-T following are
a few Of the very fattering notices given
US by our exchanges. How true they
may be remains to be seen. However,
we thank our old friends most heatily

g 1.-THE MANITowoc TRIBUNE.-Messrs
Smith & Enert in the last issue of the
TRIBUNE announce that they have dis
posed of their interest in this excellent
local paper to Fred. Borcherdt, Esq.
While we regret to part with such gen.
tlemanly neighbors as the late editors,
tits with pleasure we welcome their success
sor into the editorial ranks. Mr.. Is. is a
highly educated German and has been a
resident Of Manitowoc from Its infancy.
We have known him intimately for the
past II years and can vouch for his being
an upright and honorable gentleman in
every respect. May he and the TRIBUNE
fourish-except politically. We under
stand the executors intend to make Fiorl-

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Mn. EDITOR Presenting that any
thing of as much importance as that of
the Public Schools will be of interest to-
your readers, l will ask your indulgence
for this communication Now all know,
as well as do, that our Schools, and es-
pecially that over which have charge,
are not what they should be in their
grade, Accommodations and so in their eff
cheney as means of usefulness, honor
and benefit to our city. The question
naturally arises what SD where is the
trouble? To be direct I will state what I
believe to be the cause, viz: lack fin
terest taken in the School by those, who,
of all others should be the most interest
ed, the parents and guardians of the
scholars. 1t certainly cannot be due to
the want OF ability in the scholars.-tor a
quicker, brighter Or more intelligent class
of scholars it has not been my fortune to
fall in, with They are willing and able,
as they always have been, to do their
part to maintain high standard of schol-
arShip in the school. Nor can the teach
ers be wholly to blame. For if they are
hired and placed in charge of the schools
and then left to their own devices, scarcely
ever being approached by their parents,
can it be expected that they would be as
much interested as if they were visited
once ina while? As a class believe the
teachers to be faithful and efficient,
heartily desiring the Improvement, men
tally and morally, Of their pupils. Thus
it is, if you weaken the foundation of a
good school, public interest in it, the
whole superstructure is liable to fall into
ruin. Could the parents only be made to
see the value of visit once in while,
could they see, as the teacher does, the
change in the attention, department and
recitation of a scholar, while visitor is
present, they would not be SO chary of
their visits. But | will close this now
and ask your permission to be heard
again, in reference to the matter of the
grade and Accommodations. 1t may not be
generally known that for long time thirty
scholars could not practice writing for
want of room. Respectfully, '
d. w. BRAINARD,,
Mr. Brainard will please accept our
sincere thanks for thus early answering
our request for Communications egaraing
public schools generally and ourown par
ticularly. And our fellow citizens. espe-
cialy parents, will, we hope take that
communication to heart and comply with
the desire therein expressed, that they
should show their interest in the instruc
ton Of their children by frequent visits
to the Schools, We can never be over
doing in our duties &c The children en-
trusted to or care and may work all our
life time, to save money to leave to them
after we are gone, but that may soon be
lost-money proves only curse, while
a good education will stay with them and
prove blessing and a source of gratitude
to them for ever, EDITOR.

AN IMPOSsIBILITY.-We have all of US
frequently heard of various seeming inn
possibilities such as dipping the ocean
dry with teaspoon, or tearing the stars
from the armament. of Heaven, or ascend
ing to the moon, or trying to stop a
woman's tongue when she had made up
her mind to have chat, or trying to
cheat Lawyer, and numerous other
things which at first seem impossible but
which finally appear tangible; they are
subject which can be comprehended we
can see that there is at least some hope
Of accomplishing these things in this age
of progression; in short, we can compre-
bend them, but there is one thing that is
truly incomprehesible, namely, the reason
why our sidewalks are allowed to remain
in their present awful condition. Where
is the Marshal or the one whose business
and duty it is to look after such things?
Our village has already been sued for
$1,000 damages, and should this not be
caution sufficient to guard US against
useless expenditures. How is it, tax
payers?

DIED

At Manitowoc, Wis, June It'll 1869,
HENRY D. SHEPPARD, Esq, of Con-
sumption, aged 35 years.
Mr.. Sheppard was so well and favorably
known by large circle of acquaintance
that few particulars concerning him
seem worthy of mention. He was
native Of the State of New York, but,
very early in his life, removed, with his
father, Fl. f. Sheppard, Esq, to Paines-
vile, Ohio, where was his home until
some eleven of twelve years since he
came to Manitowoc to engage in business.
Here, ten years ago last October, he was
married, and here, excepting four years
spent at Fond du Lac, Wis, he has
since made it his home.
As business man he was prompt,
kind, gentlemanly, man of unblemished
integrity. In his domestic relations he
was tenderly beloved, not only in his own
household, but also in the household
circle of his wife's father; and richly he
deserved to be.
AS Christian, his general consistency
was of marked character Eleven
years ago. on the 2lst Of March last, he
assumed formal religious vows, in con-
nection with the lst Presbyterian church
of Manitowoc; and he did not leave
those vows an empty form. AS an off
Ger of this religious society, as member
of the church, as sabbath school teach
er, as friend to his spiritual guides, he
was benediction to ALL His heart
strove to do good in his masters name,
and it did not strive in vain. The meet
ings for prayer of the first week of this
year were nearly the last which we was
able to attend; and the remarks and
prayers to which he then gave utterance,
it was joy to hear; they gave evidences
OF the ripening Of the precious fruit OF g.
Christian life. The intervening, long,
tedious weeks of burdening prostration
which weighed him down, found him
with freely expressed wishes to re-
cover, and to be permitted to train his
two boys for their future manhood; yet
they found him constantly saying eff it
is Gods will % With Christian dignity
and tender affection, he babe his family
and attendant friends, trustful meet
me in heaven, and bowed his body
beneath the power of death. And yet
he lives. He is not dead. He sleeps :;
and his awakening, he leaves to all the
consolation, shall be among the blest.

ENTERPRIsE.-We are pleased to note
any andevery movement which indicates
a go-ahead spirit. Nothing puts town
forward so fast as men of driving dispo-

value but it has taken many other.gold
medals and is really superior article. In
cutting up lodged grain it is said to have
no equal. But we are getting off the

such enterprising firms as the one we have
named. .-,s. +--- .r,

CIR GRAND JURY.

From the following Communication it
seems that we were right In our remarks
on the Grandss]asy List 1t is a most
serious charge against our County Board
of Supervisors and, If true, ought to be
punished in the most summary and rigor-
Gus manner. Packing Jury, and espe-
cally aGrand Jury to whose members,
in a measure, the morals Of our County
are entrusted. is in our opinion one of
the wickedest crimes that can be commit

Can it be that we live in an age of
civilization and have our most sacred
rights, the trial by Jury, tempered with
by one Of the most Infamous scoundrels
of the day, and have no redresss What
do the members Of our County Board of
Supervisors mean by throwing aside some
of our best and most reliable citizens in
this County and substituting some of the
most worthless trash, that canabe picked
up in the lowest grade of Lsociety-men
that are candidates for the State prison

Gentlemen, shall we submit to such
insult without taking action in the matter,
or shall we lay down our manhood and
let our rights be trampled under foot
If there is spark of manhood left in
this Godforsaken County, let it rise and
vindieate itself in this present issue and
see if our servants will trample us in the
dust by such gross injustice, Tshall here
state case of disgraceful proceedings by
our Honorable County Board of Super
yisors: 1.-THE Jury Hst sent IN to the
County Clerk by the Board Of ,Supe,vis-
ors of the 7oaUn of Franklin aoas cast
aside and four Others put an their places. -
Three of these four were the Town Board
at the time the big steal in Franklin was
going on, where it is said they distributed
Town Orders, that should have been cam
celed and destroyed, but they put them
in their pockets for future use-so the
town must pay, them the second time.
Justice will sooner or later
overtake such yillainies and the perpe-
traitors shall reap the fruits from an ever
watchful but patient public. e,

Jones Mill, was discovered about 3
o'clock on Friday morning near the scene
of his labor-dead. It seems that while
about to pick up slab he was struck in

portion of the mill, and must have been
instantly killed. His body was still warm
