10 Masters OF Subordinate Oranges:
WORTHY BROTHERS :--As the time APP
proaches when the selection of public officers
by the people of Wisconsin is about to be
made, circumstances render it important that
the position of our order upon public affairs
should be announced in words which will
leave no uncertainty upon the minds of our
fellow citizens for what purpose, and with
what intention, our influence will be thrown
"outside the gate" on that occasion.
10 this end, req uest each of you to meet
with the Executive Committee at Watertown,
August 2s' 1873. at 9 a. M, to Then and
there give the subject your earnest and care
full consideration,

Town MEETING. The caucus on
Saturday last to select delegates to
the Assembly District Convention
was poorly attended, not over a
score being present. Judge VIM.

ing were elected delegates to repre-
sent Lancaster at the Convention

We have to call the attention of
voters again to their neglect to at.
tend the primary meetings. Should
the towns generally through the
State fail in this duty, as has Ian.
caster at this time, any set of politi.
cal tricksters might get control of
the State Convention and put into
power bad and unprincipled men.
La the everyday business of life
there are few whom any one will
trust with the care of management.
Why, then, will the voter surrender
so easily to others the right of Sc
lection when the interest of all are
at stake? 1t cannot be denied that
the primary meeting is the fountain
source Of good or bad government,
OF the election Of honest or dishonest
represe natives, and that the attend
ance thereat is the regulator for
good or i'll.

The NARROW GUAGE.-The anti.
railroaders of Lancaster may have
the satisfaction of knowing that
they number only third of the tax
paying proportion of the town. We
learn from Senator Holloway that
properly certified petitions of 29O
Taxpayers, in favor of aiding the
c. & L. r. r. to the amount of $780,
600, have already been filed with
the Clerk. This amount together
with the aid voted by Fennimore
and what is probably already voted
by Liberty, Clifton, and Wingville,
will foot up over a hundred thou
sand dollars of aid promised by the
towns of this county alone. The
showing is good for the success of
the new project, and will have, we
think, the desired effect of inspiring
confidence in the scheme along the
route.

Suicide at British Hollow.

We learn the painful details Of
death by suicide of DIR. James Bird
sail at the Union House, British
Hollow, on Saturday morning last
The Doctor retired at his regular
hour on the evening previous, and
nothing unusual was noticed in bis
manner or actions, although for
several days he had complained OF
i'll health. On Saturday morning
it was noticed that he failed AZ
ter frequent calls TO appear at the
breakfast table, which aroused the
suspicious of the landlady that some
thing was wrong, The door, being
locked, was forced open and the life
less body of the Doctor, with throat
cut from ear to ear, was discovered
on the floor in pool of blood beside
the bed, Death had evidently been
caused by his own hand, the instru-
ment used being found firmly clutch
ed by the hand. The deceased
was about 80 years of age, had
been a practicing physician at
British Hollow for some five years,
and was highly esteemed citizen.
Domestic trouble and financial en-
barassment are supposed to have
led him to the fatal deed.
