FROM MADISON.


Last Friday the Legislature adjourned
! until this evening, and most of the mem
pers went home to spend Sunday, probably
more than in former years, because the
Portage enables those from the Northwes
tern part of the State to do so and return
for their meeting; and when the Baraboo
Air Line Railroad is completed the facilities
for travelling from here to all parts of this
State will be more convenient. The hotel
accommodations are also much bet ter than
they have been, the Villas House having
been much improved by the addition of a
reading room, bath room, &c, so that now
State, and before the meeting of the next
Legislature the Park Hotel will be finished
and ready to receive guests. Then there
will be no lack of good hotel acco mmoda-
ton for those that may have occasion to
visit the Capital during the winter.
Although last Tuesday was very cold the
funeral of Judge Byron Paine was attended
by large delegation of lawyers from Mil
waukee, the State officers, members of the
Legislature and citizens In looking on
the faces of those that were gathered there
to pay the last tribute of respect to the
memory of that good man whose remains
were to be taken to their last resting place
you might have seen expressed feeling
that in the death of Judge Paine the State
Of Wisconsin had sustained loss which it
would be hard to replace.
Up to this time there have been nearly
fifty bills introduced in the Senate, and
about double that number in the Assembly.
Among them bill to establish an institu-
ton for the education of idiotic and feeble
minded children. A similar bill passed
both houses of the Legislature few years
ago, but it never became law on account
of some oversight. 1t IS sad fact that we
have so many of this class of unfortunate
beings in our midst that it becomes necessa-
ry to found school for their education, but
we ought not to shrink from a duty that
we owe to those who were rot endowed
by nature with strong minds.
The first of the Receptions at the house
of Governor Fairchild this winter. will be
given tomorrow evening They were large
~ attended and very enjoyable affairs last
year
In appointing Judge Lyon to be Assoc
late Justice of the Supreme Court to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Judge
Paine, the Governor has made good Sc
lection. Judge Lyon is a man in 1.-The prime
of life with an extensive knowledge of law.
having practiced the profession Of it for 20
years. He was Speaker of the House in
1859 and 1860. In 1851 be left the State

THIRD AND LAST TIME.-Under the
head of "a Villain Corrallcd," we find the
following floating around, taken from the
Alton, Ii Telegraph, of, Jan. 10th:
Many of our citizens remember, to their
sorrow, an individual who sported the
name of DR.. Da Silva in this city, some
three years ago. He proved to be an ac-
complished swindler. He fourished here
for few weeks, during which time he
taught, or pretended to teach, class in
German or French But he brought his
lessons to sudden close by marrying and
running off with French girl, leaving
many debts behind him. The girl he took
to Chicago, where lie abandoned her, leaving
her destitu e. From the following extract,
it will be seen that he has reached the end
Of his rope The St. Joseph (Mo.) Union
says:
s'0n Saturday night Dr. Louis Da Silva
iectured in this city on Sunday he was en-
gagged to be married on Monday he was
drunk on Monday night his bride-elect
fshed him out Of a drunken sleep and led
him to he alter; on Tuesday afternoon a
polit eman escorted him to the calaboose,
dead drunk, and at night he. was arrested on
United States warrant as a deserter from
the Fourteenth Infantry, and lodged in Jail,
where he is now meditating over the chances
Of six years at the Dry Tortugas.
I'm May last, Or. Louis Da Silva, of the
Cuban army, splurged in Providence, Il l.
Soon after he went to New York, and en-
listed in the Fourteenth Infantry. In June
he came to Omaha with "a detachment of 200
| men On the 9th of August he deserted
He Iectured in Council Bluffs and Red Oak,
Iowa, and thence went to Highland, Kansas,
where he splurged hugely. Meanwhile hi1
name was DR.. Cord0Ea.

THE Ice SEASON. This week the
firm of Eaton & Brother will commence cut
ting their stock of ice for summer use The
ice crop will be better this year than could
be reasonably hoped for, from the openness
of the winter thus far. 1t is now about Is
inches in thickness on the river and of an
excellent quality. The large and commo-
dious ice house of this firm on the west side
of the river, oppos tie Bursinger's brewery,
will be well filled with this solid material, so
refreshing a luxury during the searching
summer months. Arrangements will be
made to lay in a supply sufficient to last
through the coming warm season. Eaton
4 Bro, deliver ice to all wishing to procure
it, and those who are without ice houses,
will find this convenient and nice arrange
ment.
