the celebrated firm of Briggs & Brothers.

son, are employed in packing and put
| ting up the Flower aud Vegetable Seeds,

with colored plates. 1t also contains in
structiye hints and information upon the
subject Of Horticulture and agriculture
The new Catalogue for 1872, which will

LEAP YEAR RIDE.

The Leap Year Sleigh Ride, in which
nine couples participated, last Saturday
night, was a perfect success in every
sense of the word The gentlemen pro,
tenn, acted their parts to perfection, wait
ing on their partners with as much ease
and facility as though it was an old
story taking all possible care for their
comfort, In the way of putting On their
wraps, ETC.. tucking the buffalo robes
around them. and assisting them in and
out of the sleigh with great care. Our
destination was the Lake House," in
Two Rivers, where we arrived about
p. NJ, and very soon after sat down to a
bountiful supper, gotten up in very good
taste, aud comprising all the goodies i'm
aginable.
We babe farewell to Mr.. and Mrs.
BONN at halfpast nine, and set out on
our return home, via. the city of Mishi-
cott When we reached the latter place
we found that mine host, Damon of the
"Mishicott House" had shut up for the
night; but he quickly responded to the
call of one of the young ladies, and well
coined US in, where we found a warm fire
by the side of which the gentlemen
warmed themselves thoroughly; and then
we all made final start for home
There is one thing for which the ladies
ought 60 apologize, and that is, being so
free with the gentlemen. One of them is
quite excusable though. She was feel
ing SO re,y queer. But after getting
down into the bottom of the sleigh, she
came to the conclusion, 'she was in Para
disc, and there We will leave her for the
present.
There was also one of the gentlemen,
whom we think imposed too heartily, and
for too great length Of time on his part
ner, but as she had her vinaigrette and
fan with her, she managed to survive
Another of the young ladies was so
heartily absorbed in her attendant, that
her heart forgot to perform it's proper
duty, which caused slight alarm.
But take it all in all, it was the affair
of the season. and will long be remem-
bered with delight by all of the fair par

REPLY TO SUPERVISOR NO. l.

ED. TRIBUNE My attention has been
called TO long and windy article in your
issue of Jan. 4th, signed Supervisor,
wherein said Supervisor makes a grand
charge upon the committee of Assess
ments of this county Let us see if we
cannot open his visionary organs, that
he may see little clearer, and little
farther. than the little town of Manito-
woo, and the adjoining corporations,
wherein said corporation land will aver
age $45 per acre, at the least. Then sir,
take glance at the assessments of the
towns of Franklin, Maple Grove,
Rockland and Cooperstown, and see if
the choice towns that our high toned Su-
pervisor pleases to term them, don't take
the largest share of the public taxation of
this county, according to the real valua-
ton of property, which is the prope~
basis to make assessment on. | wish to
call the attention of said Supervisor to
the fact that he was member of said
Board of Supervisors, when the chair
man made the appointment of the as
sessment committee; why did he not re-
monstrate against the appoint nent of
such men; Oh no, his mind was taken
up with that pauper, which he wishes
the town of Manitowoc relieved Of the
support off, by placing him on the coun-
ty poor list. 1 for one was not satisfied
with the appointment Of one member on
that committee, and that was myself, and
will give you my reasons now, as | did

ignorant of the system pursued by the
county in equalizing, and wished for in

pointed to act upon, but after making a
public request Of the Board for informa-
ton on that subject, could get no infor-
nation whatever What I wished to
know, was, the basis we should proceed
to assess upon, but it was mystery to
me. | was we'll aware that the valua-

neglect and ignorance of the several Town
Assessors, it was utterly impossible to ar
rive at any definite result with the as
sessment rolls; in fact the whole city and
towns assessment is perfect farce;
therefore until the several Assessors are
compelled to assess according to law, the
County Board must be excused, as
the whole assessment. is guess work
from incompetent men," Therefore,
the county must abide by the decision of
just such men as they elect to do such
business; there is no person to blame
but the parties that elect such ignorant
men to the Office of Assessor. Each and
every Assessor should be made to assess
according to law, or take the consequent
ces.

fellow who is as nimble as a cat and one
of the most fearless and agile in working
around the bridge, Yesterday, while
taking down some Of the false works. a
heavy plank fell and struck him on the
head. He lost his footing and FELL but
managed to grasp one of the iron rods

that his haId was uncasped with difficult
ty. His injuries. fortunately, are not of
dangerous character The escape was
a very narrow one from being dashed
