ga DEAD Cock IN THE PIT Re
cent circumstances transporting in our midst
lead US to belive that we are high-cock-a "a
Crum people. WATERFOWL has been highly
favored among her sister cities, great hon
or and distinction having been shown her
within the past week. The game cocks of
Beloit, GAINESVILLE and Fond du Lac, met
hege as a point Of arbitrament, and Chap
pell's Hall, the use of Which had been very
generously bestowed to the exhibitors by
its owner, free gratis for nothing, was the
scene of mortal combat last Friday aud
Saturday evenings. Many of our inhabi-
| tants were spurred up to the very highest
| pitch of excitement, and only found vent
to their feelings by witnessing the foOL
proceeding The fitness and appropriate
ness Of having this highly moral toned
affair come off within the portals of Chap
pelrs Hall, will readily be seen when it is
remembered that in the same place, a little
over year ago, the fearless democracy
were wont TO meet in council and send forth
from their numbers KlG' Kux missionaries
to the distant heather, otherwise called
Black Republicans. For many weeks these
piteous proceedings took place. and at the
close of the campaign, they vacated the
hall. but our democratic friends must have
left the pit after them, and it was unhappi-
| Iy used the other evening to illustrate to
these misguided individuals that democra~
cy hereabouts, as well as the country over,
is "a dead cock in the pit"
But leaving all attempts at sarcasm and
| joking aside, we can scare ely find words
| sufficient to express our indignation at this
| disgracefuI affair, and how any persons
| deserving to be called men, can bring them
| selves down so low in the scale of humani-
| ty as to engage in this cruel and nefarious
| business, is more than we can imagine.
We learn that one OF our sporting men
had a favorite bird pierced through the
head from the effects Of which he died
The owner valued him at SIC Truly Jor :
dan is hard road to travel
This exhibition of the game, pluck, and
spirit of booded stock. has created a spirit
| Of rivalry within the breast of every boy in
town who is the owner of anything in the
fowl line wearing a comb, and they may
be seen going through our streets with
ROSTERS under their arms, spelling for an OPP
portunity to display the proves and skill Of
their birds. Surely, ''the evil that men do
live fter them " Let US hope for the sake
of the good name our city has borne, that
we have had the last duly organized cock
fight.

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY
The Lutheran Synod of Wisconsin, having
the care and oversight of the University
have just concluded very interesting meet
ing, called especially to consider and pro-
vide for the permanent prosperity of the
school. They consider the affairs of the
institution to be encouraging, and are
resolved to push forward aud build
up an institution that shall be an honor to
them and worthy of confidence and patron
age. They have resolved to collect annu-
ally So, 900 towards the salary of the Pro-
fessors. 1t is also possible that the trustees
will meet at an early date and elect a Pro-
fessor to fill the chair of Rhetoric, the
English Language and Literature In this
case the new professor will enter upon his
duties next term. We hope to see this In.
stitution flourish more and more, and take
high rank among the educational insti-
buttons of the land.
Tho University is steadily gaining in its
popularity and usefulness, if the number in
attendance this term is any just indication.
The number of students this term is the
largest hitherto reached, and includes only
those who are in the classical and Plepara-
tory apartments.

rousing G God time among tie Good Tenn
plars af Waitsville, and the sur rounding
country. 1t was the Fourth Anniversary of
the Waitsville Crystal Spray Lodge, and
the important event called together between
400 and 500 members of the order from diff

speeches were made by George Bird, and
that Nestor Of the cause Of temperance in
these parts, George G. Smith, of Fort A t.
kinson. Mr.. Scofeld, of this city, read an
address BETTING the occasion. The crowd
was so large that the supper had to be given
in the large mill of Wait & Co. near the
hall, which was fitted up for the occasion.
Over 400 sat down too magnificent repast
composed of all the delicacies of the season.
After the cravings of the inner man were

for the generous and hearty reception tn ey
met with from the good people of Waits

LECTURE OF BISHOP ARM1TAGF.-
Our citizens must bear in mind the lecture
of Bishop Armitage at Music Hall, Tuesday
evening next, January 18th. The subject,
Oriental Life, will be handled in bril-
liant and entertaining manner by the able
and eloquent speaker, who has himself
travelled in the Oriental countries, the peo-
pie, customs and general features of which
he treats, thus adding to his well earned
ability as descriptive writer and a true
delineator of character, his. own personal
observations, a circumstance that greatly
enhances the value and interest OF the lee
ture. The proceeds will be devoted to the
Library fund OF the Northwestern UNIVERSE
ty and this commendabIe appropriation, to-
gether with the intellectual character of the
lecture, ought to secure a generous support.
aud we trust the hall will be filed TO re-

The CoNCoRDIA CoNCERr.-The
entertainment, Thursday evening last, at
Music Hall, given under the direction of
Prof. Gaebler, was a highly entertai ming
affair. Though there were not as many
present as we expected to see, yet the Hall
was comfortably filed, and Judging from
the marks of appreciation given to the per-
formance, the audience evidently were
pleased with the manner in which the sew
eral parts of the programme was rendered.
The violin playing of Prof. Schoenfeld was
hne and expressive, and be deserves to be
ranked with the best vio,inists in this
country. Our citizens are greatly indebted
to Prof Gaebler for having an opportuni-
ty of hearing him, and we sregret that the
enterprise was not better sustained.

PREsENTATIoN.-Rev. IT W. Reed,
recently called to the charge Of the Congre-
gational Church at New Orleans, " as made
the recipient of a suoerb gold watch from
the members of his congregation, on Christ
mas Eve. A correspondent of the
GAINESVILLE Gazette under date of jan lst,
1870, thus speaks of The happy affair:
On Christmas eve, the people worshiping
at the COngrega tional church in this city,
met at their social room, where they had q
Christmas tree, the branches Of which were
garnished with presents for the Sabbath
school scholars of the church. Among the
names called was one not very Young in
years, nor yet old, that of the pastor, Rev.
Ar Reed, formerly ofColumbus, Wis onsn,
who has just accepted the Call Of this con
gregation. Although he has been here but
a few weeks he has succeeded in impressinp
the the people of his charge, and of all who
have made his acquaintance with his high
worth as Christian gentleman, and OF pos
sessing intellectual attachments of no com
mon grJtr. The numerous delegation of
arpetbaggers from Wisconsin, "Who. have
come here to stay have IA peculiar nteres
IN the gentleman, as he Is just from the
Badger State, and therefore take little
natural worldly pride in the evident success
that has already attended his minstrations.
As the notification that there was q present
for him on the tree made it necessary for
him to advance and receive it, he came
smilingly forward, imagining that it was
some slight token of regard, only intended
to identify him more closely with the
children oft the Sabbath School, when an ell
egant gold watch, worth not less than Sl75,
was handed to him. 1t was real sur prise
and you may well imagine produced some
embarrassment on his part. He, however
managed to recover himself, and to express
his thanks for the unexpected gift, hoping
that he would not be behind time in his work
Which hope, think, will be fulfilled, as ht
has youth, energy and a Vigorous and prac'
ticai WeStern intellect to aid him in the
particular duties of pastor of northern
| church in this city.
