The New Cornet Band is practicing in
dustriously. The Thanksgiving Sermon
of Mr.. Stevens was highly spoken OF.
The festival given by the ladies of the
Presbyterian Church at the Williams
House was success. $120 were reailz-
ed Fifty-nine arrivals during November,
and 90 real estate transfers during the
same time The river was frozen over
for the first time this season during the
last night of November Twenty-Five
vessels are laid up in this river. Eleven
degrees below zero on December 10. Mr..
Rahr is having an artesian we'll bored on
his property on the South side. Good
sleighing. The ladies of the Episcopal
Church gave Fair and Oyster Supper
at the Windiate House on the 10th.
The new Cornet Band played in public for
for the first time. \ good time was had.
The Schooner Sea Gem left on the 18th
for Chicago and returned y hours after
wards with full load OF corn. A quick
and very profitable trip. The School FIX
hlbition on the 18th was very largely at
tended and an entire success. Circuit
Court opened on the 22d. But little
business transacted on account of the
jury being drawn illegally and conse-
quently discharged. The Bar gave Judge
Taylor banquet which was very pleas
ant affair. The public Schools closed
for two weeks vacation A dance al
the Windiate House ON Christmas Two
fire companies were organized at Two
Rivers, and what appeared in the TRI-
BUNE of last week must be still familiar
to the reader.
Thus we have briefly sketched what
was recorded in the t,Uo hundred and
forty-oae columns of local matter publish
ed in the columns Of the TRIBUNE during
the year 1868. IF the items were all
pasted together, it would make string
more than three times as long as the lib
erty pole in front of the Windiate House
This viii give the reader an idea Of how
much labor it has cost to gather the local
news during the year.

The above sounds SO much like a joke
that we read it twice over to see If the
Judge wasn't trying to be sarcastic, but
he evidently, means business We would
however inform the Crescent that it has
undertaken job which no democrat or
democratic paper in this county is viii
ling to try hand at, VIZ. The defense Of
the Poor Commissioners. 3Ase, a30{a to
support the poor of Manitowoc County !
Well, any one mean enough to find
fault with that would find fault if he was
going to be hung. In 1866 it cost 50. 1876
to support the poor; in 1867, 81, I06 %,
(although prominent democrat who is
amply able to make good his words, offer
ed to support all the poor in the County

Perhaps the Crescent would like to buck
against these facts. Now we DO not ad

would see all their gea} wants supplied,

We do not wish to have any one
think that we are excited because we
publish so much this week in regard to
the dishonesty,of democratic officials we
have paid ou taxes and though they are
fully twice as large as they should be, we
are calm. but the people-how they
rave Democrats and Republicans alike
condemn IN no measured terms the out
rageous extravaganza, TIE criminal mis-
use of the peoples money. And as
public journalists, it is our duty to give
expression to public sentiment. Possibly
these officials think it is the last chance
they will evey have TO steal from the
county and they will make the most of it;
or perhaps the democratic party has so
long held power that it has learned all
the ropes and knows just how far it can
bleed the treasury without being made
to refund But there is limit to all
things, and possibly that limit has been
already passed.

THE ABSTRACT OF ORIGINAL EN-
TRIES.

The proceedings Of the Democratic
County Board were published in the Of
fclal paper of the County, last week.
The following extract we copy from the
proceedings:
DIR. Eggers offered the following reso-
luton:
Whereas, 1t is necessary to have an alb
strac5 Of original entries Of all lands in
this county, to be kept in the Office of the
Register Of Deeds; therefore,
Resolced, That there be and hereby is
appropriated out of the general fund
the SUM of five thousand dollars, to pur
chase such abstract, and that the Chair
man and Clerk OF the Board be anu they
are hereby authorized to issue county or
ders for the same.
The resolution was adopted unani
mously.
We are informed by a member Of the
County Board with the request to pub
fish, that the amount paid for the abstract
was fire hundred dollars instead of five
thousand, as published in the official pa
per.
Now this is a most unkind cut The
people know that the funds of the county
are being squandered by the democratic
county board, and The facts are bad enough
without enlarging on their extravaganza.
Wonder if our contemporary is ready to
turn Republican? A short time since it
gave. contrary to its former practice, an
elaborate puff-it was we'll deserved how
ever-to one of the Republican County
Officers, and last week, as shown by the
extract, it gave a left handed dig at
the democratic county board.
How Is it?

LECTURE. Board of Directors of
the Library Association, at their last
meeting, instructed their President to
engage the services of Judge Arthur
McArthur to deliver his great Lecture on
Queen Mary of Scotland, at an early day
probably some time in February. This
lecture requires three evenings, and is
said to be one of the most deeply inter-
csting productions of the day. 1t has
been delivered in most of the principal
cities to crowded houses and everywhere
called out the highest praise. 1t is pleas
ing to know that our people will have an
opportunity of listening to such distin-
guished man.

COUNTY OFFICERS FOR 1859.
Names of those Sworn into Office oil
Monday Last.


The following named officers, elected
last fall, were duly installed in their re-
spective positions last Monday. We
hope they viii perform their duties ac
ceptably:
TREASURER, HENRY BKTZ.
This is his second term, and such per-
feet satisfaction has he given that all par
ties unite in praising him for his ability,
impartiality, and strict integrity. The
County has never had better officer,
and we fear it will be long ere its finds
another as good.
CLERK OF THE BOARD, P. P. FUEsSNICH.
Mr. T. is man well calculated to per-
form the duties of his office He is a we'll
educated, practical man, always on hand
to attend to whatever may come within
his line. He has hosts of warm personal
friends and we predict will make very
popular officer.
SHERIFF, PETER MULHOILAND.
Everybody knows the Captain. That he
will perform his duties acceptably, we
haven't doubt. lie will have to work,
however, to give as good satisfaction as
his predecessor Mr. r. T. Blake, the re-
firing republican Sheriff g. w. Morse,
is his under Sheriff, and Michael Trainer
and Leopold Heinemann. deputies.
REGISTER, JOHN FRANZ.
This gentleman was reelected to this
position partly because he has performed
bis duties satisfactorily, and owing to his
misfortunes is entitled to sympathy
DISTRICT ATTORNEY, E. B. TREAT.
4 we'll known lawyer, who will attend
to biz.
SURVEYOR, FAYETTE ARAISBY.
No better man for the position in the
the county.
CORONER, DR.. JOHN OSWALD,
who resides in Two Rivers.
The following is the full Board of Su-
peryisors, new and old.
County at Large-John
G. Eggers, of Manitowoc.

and NJ Gallegley Of Meme.
ID Distrlct-B S Lorigan, of franklin
and Thomas Mohr, Of Kossuth.
Sd District-A Weehausen, of Michi-
colt and Louis Koehnke of Gibson.
The Board met on Monday last and
elected Louis Koehnke Chairman. There
is but one Republican in the Boards.
Samuelson of Liberty-as honest and
true a man as ever walked. We hope
his presence in the board will deter other
members from swindling the people after
the style of their predecessors.

THE Poor FUND. Some time ago we
published the report of the Poor Com
missioners as made to the County Board,
which showed an expenditure, up to No
vember II, 1868, of so, 5l3, 80.
We have taken the trouble to ascertain
the expenditures since the Report and
find that the sum of $25l9,0S has been
disbursed; or grand total of $E3. $50.
40.
The tax ayers should ask for the ap-
pointment of a Committee to investigate
this matter.
1t is believed that not half of the above
amount has been given to the poor. The
people have right to know who pocket
ed the 'stcalings.
Attention is called to ''Tweezers' COM
munication.

A CARD.-The bishop of the 1st
Presbyterian Church of Manitowoc is a
happy man. His people have shown him
the Sunny Side Of minister's life,
in Christmas and New Years gifts and
he takes this way to express his heartfelt
thanks. Certainly he does desire grace
to make proof OF his affection for those
who have shown such kindness to him.

Gen. Grant Policy.

The Democrats and few Republicans are very
anxious to know what General Grants . poll
c. will e The " sphyux" is not inclined
t. disclose his plans and intentions to pertIna-
ciols correspondents, nor to hungry politicians
and Office seekers. The New York Horif went
to work and invented some - conversations
with the General. but the latter promptly denied
their authenticity; whereupon, after trying 10
crawl out Of a very small hole, the y ora con-
eluded to subside. The attempts Of newspaper
81 b3ras to intrude upon and annoy General
Grant. and the efforts Of inquisitiye bodies OF an
kinds. to ply themselves into his confidence are
generally failures.
But all the time the President elect is giving
limitations of his policy. so plain and practical
that they are strangely overlooked. Here is a
lit.le paragraph that throws great deal Of light
upon the subject Il contains nothing new it
Is only d reiteration Of views that everybody
ought to know that the General has long held
and frequently expressed but they are signih-
cant, nevertheless. Two decorations called upon
General Grant on Tuesday One was acommit-
tee Of c9lorei men the other was composed Of
citizens of Mississippi. To the former, the
President elect responded: that he was CRATE
full for their confidence, and sincerely hoped
that the colored people Of the nation would re
ceiye all the protection the laws give them, al
ding that they should have his efforts to tins
end He said 70 the Mississippi delegation that
be would like to see their State admitted but
the matter was one for Congress to deal with.
This ought to be satisfactory so far As 1t goes
Two features Of President Grants administra-
ton are clearly laid down. Justice to the ne
groes, and non-interierence with the powers and
dutje. Of Congress, are two things that will dis
tnguish it. There IS 10 ambiguity +ere and
restless and dissatisfied persons viii do well TO
ponder upon these declarations, instead of waste
ing time in fruitless sreculatious.

Our townsmen, Messrs. r. 5. Taft and Luciu
Bigelow, drove to Shelburn on Friday night, and
while descending the hill on this side Of the La-
plot Bridge,were both thrown out Of their sleigh
by the horse shying at a woodpile in the road.
Leaving the contents Of the sleigh behind him,
the horss turned ami ran at the top Of his speed for
home Gathering up the sleigh robes, it was
decided advisable by the two gentlemen to let
the animal have his Own way for once. and they
pursued the remainder Of their journey on foot
The horse and sleigh, the latter in a somewhat
dilapidated condition, were finally stopped some
three miles back by Mr.. William Brinsmail who
was also on his way to Shelburu. The beast was
consigned to the care Of Mr.. o. ;. Spear. for the
time being
