We don't wish it just yet, but if we
should, could We be accommodated by
producing good endorsers Send US
FIVE cents worth Of dried herring and
crackers and we will acknowledge the
receipt of the sanrs, and extend vote
of thanks. Have you any Sunday
school sch GLARS in Tomah Our
Sunday school scholars didn't see any.
Sheriff Layigue returned from
sheboysan last Wednesday having in
custody the little dwarfed Sanville
girl, and the man in whose charge she
was found. The circumstances con-
nected with her departure, sre found
to be materially different from what
rumor had made them to appear, and
no great crime seems to have been COM
mitted by any party to the transaction.
We shall be enabled to give all the
facts touching upon the matter next
week so far as We can become acqu-
ainted with them through the several
parties to the tran saction.
We are happy to chronicle the
marriage Of conductor Holmes, of the
G. B. Sc l.. p. K. r. to Miss Chariot
tie Spur, daughter Of George Spur of
New London. We have, we think,
detected an unusually happy express
sion upon the face of Mr.. Holmes the
past few weeks, and what it meant we
couldn't conjecture. We thought
maybe the company were going to raise
his wages, or that he had become a
ockholder in some of those charcoal
kilns near SEYMOUR. We, and lots of
the girls never dreampt of his getting
married. But then it's all right. We
are glad of it, and seeing we've had
experience we will tender little advice
in brotherly way.
Train up child in the way he
should go, and when he gets little
older he wont need to be suitched on
to the right track
The Osdensburg Leader thus
speaks of brother jack The Leader
echoes the sentiment of the Wisconsin
press to type.
The Tribune Office, and about 81,
600 worth of material was de stroyed,
in the late contlagration at Grand
Rapids, involving J. Brundage. the
editor, in what might be termed
squeezed circumstances. Jack how
ever has got the vim, and we don ex-
pect to miss the Tribune long from our
table And we don't want to either,
for it is one of the best local exchanges
we have. The citizens Of Grand
Rapids have now an opportunity Of
showing how we'll they appreciate a
prime local paper. The Tribune has
always advocated their interests with
that stirring earnestness, which never
fails telling result, and we hope they
will respond as readily In retrieving
Jack from scot and ashes.
The following letter received from
Prof Murrish is SO full Of good news
bearing directly upon what ali are
deeply interested in, that we assume the
responsibility Of publishing it, know
ing that Mr.. VI. will excuse Us for 50

MAzouANIE, July II, 1873.
II. B. Phiileo, My Dear Sir Il
have been anxious for some time, you
know, to get the commercial 1alue Of
your clay bed tested. [ have succeed
ed at last, in getting the gates Of the
market ajar if not fully open, and have
this morning seItt an order to Jud re
Powers of your city for a car load
from that deposit opened under my
direction while at your place last month.
This is not to be used as foundry sand,
as I intended that lot should be, but
as fire clay. In testing II at the Re
lance Works Milwaukee, they find it
will answer this purpose admirably.
and have ordered me to secure it for
them for this purpose, in preference to
using fire clay brought from the east,
providing it can be obtained at salts
factory priscs.
If this clay will answer as fire clay
for the Reliance Works Of Milwaukee,
it will certainly answer for every other
foundry, and furnace in the State.
This is one of the uses to which your
clay can be applied ; the next no doubt
will lie fire brick. There is but little
Doubt, that. when the properties Of
your clay are known, and the uses to
which it can be applied fully under
stood, the gates of the market will be
open for all you can furnish.
J. MURRIsH.
