One of the most reliable establish
ments of this character. that Of John
Hooper & Co., of New York, has been
merged with the younger but not less
favorably known house of G. P. Rowel
& Co. The success of the last named
firm has been unparalleled in the history
of the business.
For some years they have beer among
the largest customers of most of the
newspapers published in the United
States.
Their American Newspaper Directory,
which is conceded to be the most com
plete volume Of its character eyer issued
in this or any other country, may be
found upon the shelves Of every promi-
nent advertiser. More than fv e thousand
American periodicals are received regu-
larly and kept on file at their offices,
which are located in the New York Times
building, Nos. 40 and Al Park Row.
Our patrons can always be sure of find
ing file of our papefs open to their free
inspection at the Office of Messrs Rowell
& Co.. whenever they happen to be in
New York, and want to read the news
from home.
We also take great pleasure, in this
connection, in saying that we have found
the firm of S. M. Pettengill & Co., to be
equally reliable and satisfactory. Any
one dealing with either of the above
firms will be pleased with their prompt
ness and reliability.

COAIMUNICATED.

EDITOR TRIBUNE Il did not propose
to intrude myself into your columns, but
in relation to the sale of the County
Poor Farm, which our County Board of
Supervisors propose to sell Feb. Goth,
1871, | for one as citizen of Manito-
woe County, protest against the sale of
said Poor Farm. Now Mr.. Editor let
us critieise the action of said County
Board in Offering said farm for sale. 1T
is very evident that the Poor Farm will
not sell at the present time for anything
near what it is worth, and admit that 1t
should sell for its full value; it is poor
policy to sell it, as it could be made aself-
sustaining institution by judicious man
agement and some extra expense, to put
good and substantial buildings on it and
get it In q proper state of cultivation.
Mr.. Editor, there, is no doubt in my
mind, that eventually the County Poor
System will be adopted in this County as
it is the only true system of supporting
the poor. 1t was the piratical action of
our ex-County Poor Commissioners that
was the cause of the adoption of the
Town system of supporting the poor,
which as far as heard from answers the
purpose of the back Towns, in every pur-
pose. But if the Poor Farm is sold,
which there is every prospect it will,
and the County should adopt the County
system, of supporting the Poor Farm,
perhaps at twice or thrice the amount
thst we shall receive for this farm at
present. 1t would be we'll for the honor
able Board, to reconsider it's action, before
they let this valuable piece of property
slide out of THE hands which the Tax
Payers of this County will have cause to
regret in the future

PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN TIE CITY.

The following bill has been introduced

The People of the State Of Wisconsin,, rep
resented IN Senate and assembly, do

Section J.. Each ward in the city of

provided. that where two or more wards
are united now In one school district. they

LIBERTY, Jan. 18th ISL

L
EDTToR TRIBUNE Since the vceum
in the southern part of Liberty, was start
ed, another one has been formed in the
northeastern part. The people of this
locality being very wide awake and intel
ligent, did not wish to be left behind in
this good work. Bylaws were adopted
and officers chosen.
The choosing of officers was a stroke
of policy, as there were just members
enough to give each one an office. Hon.
oring as we do the name of Kentucky's S
great statesman, it was christened the
Henry Clay Society. But lest the ad-
mirers of that great man should blush at
this doubtful tribute to his memory we
would inform them that the people of
this locality are people of intelli genee
and sons of Liberty.
Launched into the world under such
auspices, it is not to be wondered at that
its progress far exceeded our hopes. The
society fourished for about three weeks
many time have L counted over three
persons present, and once On fine moon
light night, there were seven persons
present, including two small boys.
During this short time many great
questions were discussed; those on law,
politics and religion, were discussed and
re discussed, until they became very
commonplace. Questions which had di-
ylded the nation, met this fate, after be-
ing once discussed in this modern Athens,
and intemperance received a blow, from
which it will with difficulty recover.
But all things must have an end and
SO it was, even with this lyceum, it had
done great and good work and slowly
it sank to rest. One member after an
other dropped off, until only two persons
were left, they continued the battle
against wrong and for the good, the true
and the beautiful, until one of those
dropped away, and only the secretary re
mained to write the obituary. .F-
oh Liberty. how fallen art thou.
