Robbery in Dane County $1,000 Sto.
len-S2 GOO Reward OF.red.

We learn from ex-sheriff Geo. w. Me
Dougal, who has now gone into business
as detective police oticer-for which he
has admirable qualhcations-of a startling
robbery which took place in the town of
Dane, about eighteen miles northwest of
here, on Friday.
Mr. A. G. King, a well-known citizen,
who has been engaged for some time in the
business OF buying cattle, en- Friday after
noon, at Middleton, received on the plat>
form OF the depot, from his partner in
business. a Mr.. Smith, of Chicago, the
sum OF 81 200 IN largo bills, some United
States Treasury notes, some National ours
rency, including three $1,000 bills,
eight $500 dollar bills and two $500 bills.
Putting the money in his pocket, Mr.
Hing soon after started for his home, tax
ing the money out while on the way to see
that it was all right, but not looking at it
carefully enough to tell how many notes
were OF different descriptions of currency.
Jnst before reaching home a cupple of men
in cutter passed him and looked at him
rather carefully, but he thought nothing of
it at the time.
After reaching home, and before retiring
for the night, Dir. King took his money up
stairs and laid it in package on shelf y
closet with some other papers. la the
morning when he went to look for his treas
ure it Was missing, aud no trace OF it has
been obtained up to the present time, nor
any clue to the robbers
Part Of the house in which Mr.. King
dwells was occupied by another family, the
head of which we belive was absent at the
time Of the robbery, and their outer door
was found open the next morning and a lso
door leading to the chamber up stairs.
No noise was heard, no one disturbed and
nothing known till the next morning of the
robbery, as to the perpetrators, of which
all Is involved in mystery, the unraveling
OF which, almost without a clae, will be
work of no small difficulty
Mr.. King offers a reward of $500 for the
apprehension Of the robbcr or robbers, and
81, 500 for the recovery Of the money or in
proportion for any part thereof. Nudison

= An Individual in Berlin undertook on
wager to sit four hours in barber's win
dow, without moving, in place of the wax
figure customarily displayed there At
three In the afternoon he appeared at his
post, dressed in white sheet and with
huge wig on his head surmounted by fez
cap. Every effort was made by the by
etanders to make him show some sign OF
life. Street boys were tempted by the
promise of large rewards to make their
most ridiculous grimaces. and address
him With all manner Of funny speeches !;
but all in vain. He remained immovable
until the clock struck seven, when he rose,
bowed gravey to the assembled crowd,
and retired into the shop.

No man can work without amusements.
Men languish and then pray for strength.
Many robust men regarded amusement
with contempt it would be time enough
to be amused when their fortune was made.
He spoke of work as brain power, and
alluded to that class of business men who
are tied down to their business cares, and
never have rational amusement. By and
by you will see them nibblng a Graham

are needed, and whore are they? Some
of them have soffeuing of the brain and
perish in mad house. IF they had not
been soft in the FIRST place, their brains
would not have troubled them. Every
community ha, its tail business men hang
ing on behind --men who hold back against
all rational enjoyment If a young man

such malignant villainy. Will the public
good justify it2 Is it the public good that
is being sought in thus attacking an indi-
idual?--that know will be claimed as the
pretext. But the hypocrisy Of the pre-
text will not avail when it is remembered
that near to it's own door, within the folds
of its own party there has been an organs
lied drain made upon the Taxpayers of the
village of Manitowoc, that has not the de-
cent covering of being connected with the
support of the poor. Why is it, let me
ask, if it is the public good only that is be-
ing looked after that the Tribune cries
"thief" ''thief!' to the Poor Commits
sioners. because of an addition of four
thousand dollars to the poor expenses but
stands up in defense of the Village Board
of Manitowoc, that has more than trippled
the village taxation in the past year by its
extravagan. expenditures for party
favorites and other foolish purposes
Is the public good less effected
in the one case than in the other?
[ think not; and yet what the Tribune de-
nounces in the one case, it tries to uphold
in the other. 1t really looks as if the Tri-
bune would have been on the side Of the
Poor Commissioners had they been Repub-
licans, and had doubled their expenses in
aiding to build up German Republican
newspaper in the interest of the Trtbune's s
party in fattening inefficient officers with
double salaries. But being Democrats, in
.creasing the poor expenses is charged by
the Tribune as robbery; and so, to
save the scrutiny Of the acts of
It's own party, it must needs de-
scend to the coxardly and wicked resort of
libelous personal abuse. 1t may live long
enough to find out that the public have
some interest in the protection Of personal
character from the malicious assaults of
licentious press.

A QUEER TRADE.-The Efinham, H.,
Democrat, on the Sth ult., contains the
following account Of a queer transaction ::
1T appears that at or near Mason a
preacher named Deitts-heaven save the

and wife, $500 In accordance with this
trade the husband left the wife and took
the daughter off to St Louis, and the wife
placed herself under the care of the trading

BUSINESS Prospects. The New York
Economist takes a hopeful view Of the bus
mess prospects of the country. In its
issue of the 23d it says:
The new year commences with favor>
able indications of prosperity. The pros
poets are more satisfactory than appears at
the surface Notwithstanding all the en-
barrassments Of an irredeemable currency,
an enormous national debt, and burden
some and vcXatiouS system of taxation. the
people are manfully working towards a
brighter future. The industry and energy
of the American people are gradually over
coming every obstacle. The waste and
losses of the civil war are being repaired
with silent assiduity which illustrates the
truth that ''peace has its victories no less
renowned than war.
In another paragraph it tells us:
The anticipations industrial activity are
chiefly based upon the favorable results of
last years crops. We have large surplus
of SUPPLIES that constitutes an available cap
ital for new enterprises. The indications
from Europe are that our surplus stock Of
bread stuhs viii be absorbed at prices in
advance of present rates. The cotton crop
furnishes the means for the Industrial resi- to.

TUE Poor AND Poor FUND-The Tii-
bune, a paper with name, but without
reputation, has for several weeks, been
throwing smut out of its machine at the
last Board of Poor Commissioners, and
particularly at Mr.. MICHAEL MAHoNEY,
one Of the members of that Board. Con
sidering the whole matter contained in the
Tribune as SANDER and vituperation ema-
mating from idiotic pens in the hands of 0.
3. SMITH, its editor, and one Or two other
dsordered brains, we have. refrained
from paying any notice to their ven nomOus
attacks upon Mr.. NJ, or the Board. Last
week, however, the Tttune accuses us Of
being silent on the subject, for the reason
that we might be in collusion with the
Board, and therefore had no defence for
its members We will answer this charge
by saying that the cause Of the venom dis
played so often and so Indignantly by the
Tribune and its cohorts against the Poor
Commissioners must be from the fact that

promptly, and very properly, refused a
suck at the teat by Mr. MAHoNEY and
his colleagues. For this refusal, the Poor
Commissioners are entitled to the thanks
of the people Of the county, fer if these
blood suckers of the Tribune had once got
hold of the property belonging to the hon
est, poor, and deserving people, they would
never let go their lold, and the widow and
the orphan, the lame and the halt-those
whom the Almighty has seen fit to aff1ict in
this world to be rewarded in the next
would lie without friends indeed
In another column will be found com
munication III relation to this matter. 1t is
from the pen Of gentleman who is a large
property holder in the county, who is per-
fectly responsible for what he says, and his
words are entitled to more credit than one
hundred such libelious concerns as the
Tribune.

THE LECTURR.-1n accordance with pre-
vious announcement, Mai. MACWILLIAMs,
the Fenian Organizer, gave his lecture at
the Court House, on Tuesday evening of
this week. Subiect-"I Ireland aud Her
Rights" Owing to the severe snow storm
of that day and night, which had rendered
the sidewalks almost impossible, the au-
dience was small The meeting was called
to order and Mr.. JERE CROWLEY elected
chairman, who briefly stated the object of
the meeting and introduced Maj MAC
WILLIAMS to the audience, who handled
the subject in an eloquent manner, carry
ing conviction to every heart as to his sin
cerity in the cause he has espoused. He
told his countrymen, but too truely, why
they had always failed in every attempt to
secure Ireland Independence from Brit
ish thraldom he said the rock upon
which they had always been wrecked was
religious prejudices, and lack Of se!f>coni-
dence. He made an eloquent and logic>
al appeal to Americans for assistance,
claiming that there was some considera-
ton due from Americans to the cause that
is dear to every Irishman's heart, for the
unqualified and devoted patriotism Irish
men had always displayed in the armies of
the United States through every military
struggle she has ever had. The address
throughout was able and eloquent. Three
cheers were proposed for Maj. MAcWIL
IIAMs, which were given with a will, after
which the public meeting adjourned, and
a meeting for the purpose Of organizing a
Fenian Circle was called, but owing to the
meagerness of the number present that al
so adjourned without effecting an organi-
cation, to meet again on the Wednesday
evening following.
