Are the Bondsmen Bounds.

l cannot nnd it; tits not in the bond.-sHrLocK.
1t will be seen by reading the report
Of our late city treasurer that there is a
deficit Of S4s525. The report of the
committee appointed to investigate the
matter is also published this week, from
which it will be seen that they have been
unable to account for the deficiency
But the money was missing and the
treasures bondsmen, Messrs. McCrav,
HOLSTER and Fox, were expected to
walk up to the captains office and put
down their respective stamps to make
good the amount minus. Before doing
this, however. little Investigation was
had and it was discovered :kat Mr.. Ross
oond was defective. 1t was first rate
good bond, best of sureties. and all that,
but it lacked one important feature of a
legal bond, to wit: the signature of Mr..
Ross, the treasurer. This discovery
changed the aspect Of affairs, and, we
are told, the bondsmen have given the
matter over to the legal fraternity, pro-
posing TO pay the deficit when they
are obliged TO. The end, therefore, is
not yet.
We'll, things are getting good deal
confused around here, we take it. Last
winter some of our heaviest property
owners refused to pay the taxes assessed
against them, and they still remain un-
paid. The city charter was revised, and
from city containing two wards, We
are now chartered into three wards, be-
sides having little chunk left that is Mt
in any ward. Then, it is found the treas
ury has been leaking and several hun
bred dollars have gone where the wood
bine twineth. Finally, the treasurer's
bond proves defective and the prospect
is that the sureties will succeed in eyad.
ing payment by having recourse to the
law. If these are not times that try
taxpayers tempers, pray tell US what are.

FIRE At wAuPUN. Tho Wisconsin
State Prison shops took fire, on the
I'd ms; aud were entirely consumed,
with large amount of machinery, stock,
tools, cabinet furniture, &c. Loss can
not be fully estimated ut present; prob.
ably $4,000 to sl5o,oOo. The fire
originated from spark from a machine
shop engine
The following particulars Of the fire
have been received:
"About 10 o'clock A. II. the main
work shop of the Wisconsin State Prison
was discovered to be on fire in the roof,
near the center of the building. The
wind was blowing from the south quite
hard, and all efforts to save the building
were vain, and by IL O'Clock it was con-
sumed, with nearly all tue contents, and
large amout of lumber piled near the
building on the outside. The building
was 40 by 400 feet, and built Of stone,
two stories high, and WAS used for man
ufacturiug furniture and chairs. 1t was
stocked with valuable machinery, and
filed with manufactured stock and ma
terials. Only extraordinary exertions on
the part Of the citizens and couvicts saved
the blacksmith shop, aud probably the
nsain prison building. The wind was
blowing directly toward the main part
Of the town, aud ut one time il was fear
cd that general col fagration would re-
salt, and fire engines were tel'graphed
for, and special trains were started with
them, both from Fond du Lac and Wat
ertown, bu: they were intercepted before
their arrival with intelligence that the
danger was over, and returned. Some
twelve buildings in d tiereut parts OF the
towu caught fire, but no serious damage
was done. The conyicts at the prison
behaved admirably. Not one escaped
or attempted it, SO far as is known, and
never did men work better. How the
firo originated is not yet definitely deter
mined, but it was probably from sparks
from The smoke stack striking upon the
roof, which was of pine shingles, though
10 guard against such an occurrence a
guard had been placed upon the roof,
aud every precs ulion taken that prudence
would seem to demand. The loss is cs-
,imated at from $4,000 to 10000,
upon which there was no insurance, in
addition to which there will be the loss
resulting from the discouiinuance of :.
large manufacturing business, thus cut.
tiog off the income that went toward
supporting the institution"

Among the cases recently decided by
the Supreme Court We notice that OF
Chaplin Hall vs.. Susan Hall. This cause
was commenced in the ST. Croix county
Circuit Court in July, 1867, by Mr.. Hall,
against bis wife who resided in New
York, for a divorce. Msssrs. Baker /,
Wilson and Wetherby, of Hudson, act
ing as counsel for him, and ]. S. White,
Esq, Of this city, for Mrs. Hail. The
charges were-First, dcseriion. Second,
voluntary separation for FIVE years.
The cause, from the beginning, was
prosecuted aud defended with that dc.
termination and pertinaeity which only
yields with tho last gun. After tie usu
al skirmishing through collateral motions,
&C., the cause was brought to trial at
the May term, 1868; the trial lasting
several days. Upon the trial the evidence
showed, rs is usual in such cases, very
unpleasant state of their domestic rela
tons for many years. Yet as it very
often appears in modern divorce cas- {,
exhibited no Grim. con or other infa-
nous blots upon the character of either
party, but on tho contrary, showed them
both TO be high-minded and much re-
spected members of the first circles of
society, each wealthy, and honorabiy
connected. His possessions were proven
TO be 255, 900, snd her own about $780,
600. But they were not to each other
congonial Spirits exactly. The charge
Of deserlion was Withdrawn and the cause
submitted on voluntary separation alone
The result Of the trial in the Circuit
Court was a decree in favor Of plaintiff.
from which Mr.. White, her attorney,
appealed TO he Supreme Court, where,
at the last term, it was argued by Hon.
p. Spooner & Son, and Ii. c. Baker for
Mr. Hall, and by J. S. White for Mrs.
hall. The result was the decree was re
versed by the Supreme Coa': and the
cause remandsd with directions 10 dis
miss plaintiff 5 complaint.
MIRA. Hail has evinced much energy
and courage in defending this cause, max
ing no less Than three trips from New
York to Wisconsin, to be personally pres
eut at the fight. AMI her attorney, Mr..
White, by tho able manner in which he
has conducted her defense has fully sus
tanned his long established reputation as
a lawyer.
