able member, whom he hopes will be in the
Council also in the coming period of election,
desires to go further, he may attain much more
by adopting one of two courses either propose
a committee appointed for the purpose of tax
ing the whole of the administration of the
Island, its revenue and expenditure under con-
sideration. similar to the commission recently
appointed by the Governor, or introduce spe-
cial proposals and cause special committees
appointed for special matters the Speaker
prefers the latter course, for then those members
that interest themselves in the individual mat
tiers or who possess special knowledge in the
matter in question may be appointed to the
committee. The Council may then adopt
drafts of ordinances, where such are necessary
from the nature of case, or simple resolutions
where an application to the Governor or the
Ministry is sufficient. But in order that the
Council can have the requisite time for this,
it is highly desirable, that the discussions ON
the Budget be closed early in the year. In
order to meet the remarks Of the commission,
that the expenditure for the Customs Depart
ment here is high, a statement. is given In the
remarks to the Budget, according to which
these items amount only to about 13 PCT. Of
the revenue he did not know if it been borne
in mind when preparing that statement, that a
portion of the business in the C~ustomhouses is
discharged by Military if a corresponding
portion of the Military Expenses has not been
included in the calculation, that percentage
would be too low.

Mr.. Henry Schmidt, who keeps the saloon
at KiDgho'z' Hall, while laboring under a
fit of insanity attempted to commit suicide
with the bayonet of a gun, which he had
kept in the saloon for safe keeping. He
succeeded, before any one could prevent
him, in statbing himself with it some six
or seven times, In the neck, breast and
armS The wounds in the neck are not
dangerous, bu. the doctor prorounces those
iu the breast as very likely to prove fatal.
This is the second time that Mr.. Schmidt
has had an attack of insanity, but the first
time he was secured before he could do any
damage to himself or any one else. He is
son in-law to Mr.. John F. Zinns Of this

CIRCUIT CoURT-Our term of Court by
law should have opened for business on
Tuesday of last week. but owing to mis-
take in changing the time of holding Court
in the different counties of the Circuit,
Judge Mclean was obliged to be at Chill
ton On Monday and Tuesday, and did not
arrive here until Wednesday. Thursday
morning the Judge took his seat on the
charge the juries for intorn,ality IN the
return Of the jury list from the torn Of
Franklin, and for other informalities
Those "other intornaalities" were that the
County Board had not, in their selection of
names for the jury, confined themselves
strictly to the names sent to them by the
Town Board, as they are Obliged to do by
the neso jury law, but had, as had always
heretofore been done under the old law,
stricken from these lists such names as
tney thought not fit for jurors, and insert
eu others in their place. The informal
ity" in the jury returns from the town Of
Franklin consisted in this, that the Town
Board Of that town had made up their re-
turns before the time prescribed by law tor
them to make it, and further that they did
not certify to the list which they did send
in, SO tie juries were discharged. The
county pays the damage. PlaintiBS
swear because they cannot get their eases
tried, and lawyers starve to death. No
business was done in court except such as
could be done before the Court without
jury, which was but little, aud Friday af-
ternoon adjourned.
Judge Mclean was voted by everybody
to be the prince Of Judges and good fel-
lows, and as far as we have heard, all who
had business before him were satisfied that
we had lost nothing In electing him to FL
the chair so long occupied by Judge Tay-
lor.

DROWNED. In our hurry to get to press
last week, we neglected to mention the
drowning Of Harry Cox, on Wednesday af-
ternoon last, bright and intelligent son of
Mr.. George Cox, of this village, aged six
teen years. He was in swimming at the
Little Manitowoc River, and had been in
once and dressed, and was on the point of
going home, when some more boys arrived,
who induced him to 60 in again, and he
went, and while in the middle of the stream
he was suddenly seized with cramps, and
sank before any of his companions were
aware of it. The beleaved parents have
the sympathy of the entire community in
their sad afflction.

SAD ACCIDENT On Thursday evening
last little son of Mr.. Gilbert w. Burnett
met with rather singular accident, which
proved fatal. Mrs. B. had been making
soft soap, and by an oversight left cup of
strong lye on the floor, not dreaming that
the child would touch it, but the little fel-
low seeing it, and no doubt thinking it was
something very nice, took large mouth
tul and swallowed it. He fingered in
great agony until the following morning,
when death relieved him of his sufferings.

TIE RAIN.-The heavy rain that we ex-

hear did large amount of damage to the
dams on the Neshoto and Mishicott
Rivers, having swept away some FIVE or
six. The old residents there say that it
was one of the heaviest rain storms they
have ever witnessed in this section of the
country. In this vicinity it was not quite
so heavy, there being hardly enough to lay
the dust.
