AS we see from the proceedings
of the last meeting of the Board Of
Alderman, it has been unanimously
resolved to examine into the fnan-
cial condition of our City admins
tration,. and that Messrs. J. w.
Barnes and Judge Pierpont, of Two
Rivers have been appointed the
Committee of investigation. Now
altho' we will forfeit every thing we
posses, if there can be found one
item Of fraud of any kind in the
REPUBLICAN administration of our
City Treasurers, we do not, object
to an investigation after the bitter
and startling disclosures in the
swindling operations Of our late
Democratic County Administration;
but we seriously object to an entire
stranger to our city affairs, a man
that does not even live in our city
and who has but lately returned even
to our county. Judge Pierpont is
perfectly competent and able, and
his services as member of the
County Investigating Committee,
prove that he means to act honestly
and impartially, but is it not
a downright insult to our citizens,
that HE is selected for OUR city
Investigations, when there are hun
drsds of as capable and certainly as
honorable men in our own midst p?
We understand that one of the wise
Solons of our city board, made the ex-
cuse for voting for the Judge, because
the latter was out of regular employ
ment just now, and of course, was always
glad to earn some money. This is GER
tainly very reasonable for friend Pierpont,
but is it not Just the opposite for our city
fathers? Are there not at the least
some Of our citizens, who are out of reg.
ular employment ands who want to earn
money for the support of their families
We know one, at all events, who has late
ly lost his situation, out of mere chica-
nery-for therescannot be even the shadow
of misconduct thrown upon him-who in
all probability would be exceedingly glad
just now to be employed on that comm it.
tee of Investigation, and who is as capa-
BILE, as honest, as trustworthy in every
respect. as even our friend from Two
Rivers. IF the Judge is so anxious for
investigation, why does he not commence
at home? Was there ever democratic
administration, from the Village of Two
Rivers to the city of New York, that did
not swindle. and is it not well known
that the Trustees of Two Rivers have
voted municipal taxes upon their limo
cent consti tuents without even smell of
information. much less by first asking
them to vote whether they wanted to be
taxed for each especial purpose or not ?
But more hereafter-if necessary.

De PERE, March 18th

LIE GERE, March 10TH.
Ed. TRIBUNE The old Court House
in this place, for long time used as
jail and justice Office, and occupied in the
upper story by the Good Templars, was
this morning about 2 o clock, destroyed
by fire. Thos. H. Buckley and Wellman
Howard, incarcerated therein, passed to
their last resting place, in manner fear
full to contemplate. The former, with
the exception of his trunk and small
portion of his extremities, was entirely
consumed in the flames; and the latter
sufocated by smoke. A diversity of
opinion existed the greater portion of the
forenoon, among our citizens, whether it
was the work of an incendiary, or one of
the prisoners, but an inquest held, set
tied this matter by rendering the follow
ing verdict: Thos. Fl. Buckley, the de-
ceased, came to his death by his own
hand, by setting fire to the old Court
House in the Village of De Pere, in
Brown County, on the morning of the
18th day of March, 1871.
Wellman Howard, came to his death
by sufocation from smoke from burning
of the old Court House, in the Village
of De Pere, in Brown County, on the
18th day of March, 1871.
Loss, including Good Templar's re-
gala, justice Munson's books, and cut
ter belonging to the Village Marshal,
Call, to whom also the building belonged.
Loss about $1,000. No insurance. P.

LIBERTY. March 18th ISL

| Ed. TRIBUNE:-Of all these things
which we enjoy, none can be compared to
time. Life is made up of days, months
aud years. And good use of time, is
one Of the most important duties of man,
for since we are not sure of moment,
we should not throw away an hour. Es-
pecialy should the young make the best
possible use of time; prepare in the
spring time of life for future of con-
tentment and happiness. It is a true
saying that "time once lost can never be
recalled" how much therefore depends
on the manner in which we spend our
youthful days. And if they are fritter-
ed away in idleness and folly, will it not
be the means of sowing the seed, that in
old age will ripen into harvest of vice
and misery? Youth spent in acquiring
the vices and committing the evil deeds,
which are now so prevalent in our land,
may look to future as bringing nothing
In its train but trouble and misery. Youth
is the time to garner up those priceless
stores of knowledge, which make man
capable of acting well his part in life, and
prepare him for happy hereafter. Life
at best is short, and if we wish to ac-
complish anything of Importance, we
must begin in the spring-ti of life, and
assiduously employ the time allotted to
us in good and useful manner. If we
let the privileges which are now held
out to us pass by unheeded, we may in
future days look back over the long vista
of years, which have rolled by, and re-.
gret the many misspent days that we be-
guiled away in pleasure and folly. And
if in the spring time of life, we do not
employ ourselves earnestly and ardently
at some useful employment, we may
find out that though pleasure goes very
WE'LL yet, when it is too late it leaves a
real sting behind. T.

THE STAyE AND HEADxNG FAC
TORY OF MIR. ADOLPH WITTMANN.

On our visit to this establishment we
found that its enterprising owner was
preparing to commence work again after
rest of three months during the coldest
weather. We were astonished to find
so much machinery crowded together in
so small room, the factory being only
26 by 4S feet, and still so well arranged
that each machine could be worked to full
adYaptage. The steam engine seemed
quite small for the amount of it's work,
but is all sufficient for its requirements,
strong and solid, built by our efficient
mechanics Messrs E. Dumke & Co.
The engine has locomotive boiler of
thirty horse power and drives head
ing saw, heading turner, a heading
lointer, cross-cut saw, drag saw, a
heading palmer and pulley wheel to
draw the logs from the river with all
this work the boiler has to furnish steam
enough for steaming four cords Of bolts,
while four more cords of such bolts are
steamed through the exhaust pipe Thus
every noon there are eight cords of bolts
ready for cutting. During the afternoon
all the heading machines are at rest and
only the stave cutter and equalizer are
employed during each day there are
about ten thousand slaves with the nee
essary headings fully completed, so that
this factory can furnish in one year the
slaves and headings for 1S7,5 500 flour
barrels. Last year Mr. Whitman work
ed up about |, 100 cords of wood making
nearly million of slaves besides the nee
essary heading.
One great advantage in this factory is
In It's utilising such kinds of wood as
grow In immense quantities in this Coun-
ty and for which there would hardly be
any opportunity to dispose of, without it,
such as red oak, elm, and Eastwood,
which before had to be burned, and now
realise thousands OF dollars every year.
Mr.. Whitman has large quantities of
stave edgings still on hand, which furnish
the best of kindling wood and are deliv-
cred at the home Of the purchasers at
very reasonable price; we therefore
direct the attention Of our citizens to this
cheap and convenient material for gener-
al use.
With our best wishes for constantly
increasing success of our enterprising and
energetic fellow citizen Mr.. Whitman,
we.would again mention the necessity
of increasing our home manufactures as
the best guarantee for the real growth
and invigorating prosperity Of our COM
munity.

We would call especial attention to
the article relating to the Mil Mech.
Nut. Fire Insurance Co. taken from the
Sentinel.
1t certainly must convince any disin-
terested mind, that that company is per-
fectly reliable, and that all who are now
insured in it, or who may still do so, can
feel as safe as in any Fire Ins. Co., in
this state can make them.
