By a resolution Of the Senate
adopted on the 18th inst, the Secre-
tary of War was instructed to con
slider and report at the next session
of Congress upon the expediency OF
setting apart certain portions of the
island of Mackinac for a public park.
Mr.. Ferry, of Michigan, who is the
author of theresolution, gave some in
teresting historical facts relating to
the island and its successive occupa-
ton by English and American forces.
Mr.. Ferry states that the massacre of
the English garrison at old Fort
Mackinac, on the mainland, in 1903,
led to the selection Of Mackinac Is
land as the more secluded and conse-
quently safer position. The island
falling into our hands by the definite
treaty Of peace in 1888, being retaken
by the British in 1912, and again re-
stored to us by the treaty of Client in
1914, has by these transitions grown
into historical interest. It's antiquity
is worthy of note. It's occupancy by
the whites co-dates with the landing
of the Pilgrims, for it was visited and
inhabited by the French in 1920. At
Old Mackinac Pere Marquette estab-
lished his mission in 1871, but follow
ing his death the EMISSION was trans
formed into base of military opera
tions. Mr.. Ferry describes the seen
cry of the island, it's climate and nat
ural beauty, with much warmth, and
predicts that, if the Government con-
sents to set it apart for public pleas
ure and recreation, it will become
vastly popular as a summer resort.
Lying but $50 miles from Chicago,
and easily reached by boat or, as it
soon can be, by rail, the cities of the
West, and especially those bordering
on Lake Michigan, can regard the
prospective dedication and improve
ment of the island with complacency
and favor.

CANDIDATES FOR COUNTY JUDGE.

Mark Dresser Esq, was nominated unani-
nously for County Judge by the sRepuplican
county Convention held in pursuance of pub-
C notice at the Court House on the 18th
lstant. The unanimity of the Convent on is
complimentary to the candidate and an en-.
.orsement of his qualifications. Mr.. Dresser
; man Of good abilities, of good habits, and
moral integrity. He is lawyer by pro-
tssion. He has held the Office Of District
ttorney for Kenosha County for one term
nd has held various other offices of homo r,
roht and trust, and has always discharged
ne duties OF the offices creditably to him
imself and satisfactorily to his
constituents. With his sedate and cor
'et moral and business habits he is we'll
1apted to the discharge of the duties of u.
lcial Office. The convention acted wisely in
ominating him, and the people VIII act wise

Judge.
Thus far the Democratic party has made no

COUNTY JUDGE.

In accordance with law and public no.
tice of the Secretary Of State and the
Sheriff of Kerosha County IAN Election
will be held in the several Towns and
Wards comprising the County OF KenOshu
on the first Tuesday, being the first day
of April next, for the election of Coun-
~ Judge in the place of Isaac w. Web
ster. whose term of Office will expire on
the thirty-frst day of December, A. D.
1873"
The chief duties of the County Judge is
the administration of the law in Probate.
Having but few of the functions of a
County judge in law as an ordinary
Court, the functions of County Judge
consist chiefly In administering the law
in Probate over the last wills and testi'
ments ard even where no wills and tesla
ments are left. In place of the ofhcs OF
County Judge being OF but little impor-
lance it II one of the greatest Importance
It may safely be estimated that all the
real estate of the State passes in review
before the County Judges at least once in
thirty years-and some of it many times.
And it may be predicated that the real
estate of Kenosha County passes in re-
view before the County Judge once in
thirty years-and some of it many times.
And not only the real estate but much Of
the personal property must be taken cog
nizance of by the County Judge. The
rights of surviving friends, of legatees,
of creditors, and of all, in relation to the
real and personal property, nave to be ta-
ken into consideration. Aud still more
important function of the Office of Coun-
TO Judge than presiding over the DISPOSE
ton Of property is presiding over the
guardianship Of minor children. Sc
curing to minor children their
rights in property is OF much Importance
but securing to minor children good ed
ucation and proper training, fitting them
for the duties of life is of the greatest
Importance. A judge of honesty and
integrity may preside over the dispo-
sition of property. To preside over the
guardianship of minor children requires
a judge of honesty, integrity and good
morals.
Notwithstanding the great importance of
the Office of County Judge, the belief is pre-
valent that the duties of the Office have gen.
orally been very loosely conducted. And
worse still. 1t is openly charged that all Of
the County Judges of Kenosha County have
not kept themselves free from having times
ofintoxIcatlon and of gambling, and by loss.
es thereby endangering property and moneys
belonging to estates. And it has been re-
marked in our hearing within the present
week by an Ex-County Judge that such ad.
ministration ofthe Office was as good as the
people asked by their votes in electing Coun.
" Judge. In view of these facts we would
ask the people of Kenosha County if it is
not time that the importance of the Office
should have due consideration, and that a
nan of honesty, integrity and good morals
should be elected to fill the Office of County
Judge of Kenosha County.

The winter about ending has been
unusually fatal to bees-more fatal to
bees than to fruit Out Of fifty hives
owned by Mr.. K'mball of this city only
fifteen have survived. The bees in the
other hives were ell found dead in the
hives with plenty of honey. The pro-
longed cold weather probably benumed
and paralyzed them SO that they could
not help themselves, so that they died
from cold and starvation.

the diseased husband of plaintiff. Judge

had been offered on both sides, said that the
contracts of insurance companies were to be
construed in the same spirit as other con-
tracts. He said that there could be no rea

that it was consistent with public policy
