The United States takes the lead of all ma
lions in enterprise and competition, and
New York is the first, generally, to offer
the greatest advantages. Almost every
month brings forth new advertisements, as
liberal in their terms as they are sparkling
in their originality.
In another column of this paper the
Grand Opera Co., 129 Fulton Street, New
York, advertise to give performances
throughout the United States and distribute
100000 among purchasers of tickets.
Ticket holders receive handsome present
at the time of purchase; admission to one
opera and chance of prize at the final
presentation.
We do not endorse gift entergrises but
this does not appear to class as such, but
rather Stock Company giving bona fde

competition. and certainly guarantees to
every one the value of mis- money.

To PREPARE LIME WHITEwAsn.-
Lime whitewash is made from lime well
Stacked. Dissolve two pounds and half of
alum in boiling water, and add it to every
pailful of whitewash, Lime whitewash
should be used very thin, and when it is
sufficiently bound on the wall by means of
alum, two thin coats will cover the work
better; this may be used for the first coat
thnned by water. Most whitewashers APP
ply their whitewash too thick, and do not

The CRoPS.-- The weat her Of the
past week or more, although not favorable
to corn and other crops, has been just the
thing for wheat giving it root and strength.
With the exception of some pieces on low
ground, wheat never looked better than at
the present time, and crop that will ..equal
if not rival the famous yield of 1862 does
not now seem unlikely. 1t is the unani-
nous opinion that grass never came along
so rapidly. and we may expect an early hay
ing season. The present fine grazing gives
great encouragement to those engaged in
dairylng operations, and a remunerative
year 10 them must be the result.

ANALYSIS OF Our CITY CENSUS
We find by the Ninth Census Report that
the city of Watertown is credited with a
total population of 1880. Of this entire
number but one is cclored. The lst ward
contains population of 1888, Gle of whom
are native born and SCI foreign born. I'd
ward 1879, 7O4 native, and IT'S foreign. Sd
ward, 935, 585 native and $50 foreign. 4th
ward SIS, 325 native, 100 foreign, and l
colored, 9Th ward: 500, 374 native and 435
foreign 9Th ward, 1877, 6O6 native and
I'll foreign. 7th ward 852, 456 native and
396 foreign The ward containing the larg-
est population is the LIST, the least is the 4th
In three of the wards the foreign population
outnumber the native, namely, the 3D. 5th
and 9Th In the 9th ward the foreign pop
ulatien predominant the most, exceeding
the native by les. In the LIST ward the native
population predomina tie the most, exceed ng
the foreign by PAT. Perhaps no city of the
same size in the United States can show
population of greater variety and mixture
in races than Watertown. There is scarce
ly nation Of Europe that is not represen-
ted among US, and for our numbers we can
safely challenge the country on our cosmo-
politanlsm

WELL DIRECTED LIBERALfTY. -
Mr.. George McMllen has, with we'll directed
liberalty, offered the free use olths rooms
in his brick block on the west side, for the
meeting of the State Dairvmen's Associa-
ton. Mr.. McMillen is leavir5 nothing undone
on his part to make sahese meetings of the
Association success, and his efforts in
this direction should have the cordial sup
port of our citizens. Watertown can be
made the great central point for the butter
and cheese trade of the state, and when
the business is permanently established
among us it will result in a direct benefit
to the city.

DEsERTIoN.-A woman from Por-
tage, coming here on the cars Tues.
day last. met her husband, from whom
she had been divorced, at the Railway
junction, and attempted to leave nine
months old child with him. which she had
with her. saying, the child was his and he
should take care of it. He utterly refused
to accept the guardianship of the little one,
and leaving it to its fate on the platform,
the mother started down the railroad track
and disappeared The child was cared for
by some persons witnessing 'the heartless
transaction, and we learn tn at family in
this city has taken it to adopt. 1t Is hard
to believe that in this civilized country
parents could be found so inhuman as these
proved themselves to be.

Wool PROSPECTS 1t seems pro.
bable that wool will this season touch the
old well remembered price, ST. per pound.
Contracts for growing deeces are spoken of
as having been made for choice Ohio at
ninety cents, and Michigan for eighty
five cents. Wool-growing is now profta
Bile, but it does not follow that every farmer
should rush into it exclusively. Let sheep
become regular well proportional part Of
the stock on every farm, and in this legi-
innate way permanently profitable results
may be looked for-Heorth and Home.

ANOTHER GAME.-Ths Live Oak

ANOTHER GAME.-Ths Live Oak
Base Ball Club of this city played return
game with the Rock River Club of Jeffer-
son, Saturday afternoon last, and our boys
got sadly demoralzed to the tune of 38 to
81. The Live Oaks charge their defeat
principally to the wretched condition of
the grounds they were invited to play on,
and judging from description of them we
should think it was considerable Sup hill"
as well as down hill business to play where
they did. Whether they exaggerate the
condition of the ground or not we don't
know, but we unders tand mono of the Live
Oaks will be caught playing on those
