The Wrong Man.

The celebrated Hutchinson Family
gave one of their entertaining concerts
in Augusta, Eau Claire county, recently,
and were called upon by the village
Marshal for the customary license.
Mr.. Hutchinson convinced the official
that his entertainment was one of that
kind which has always been exempted
from license blythe statutes of the State,
and was permitted to give his concert
without further molestation.
During the evening couple of un-
ruly boys carried their fun-loving pro-
pensities to such length as to culmi-
nate in the tearing down of barber
pole, for which the barber procured a
warrant for their arrest, which was
placed in the hands of the aforesaid
officer.
The village Board has been in con-
sultation upon the matter of exacting
from Mr.. Hutchinson a license fee, and
although they had determined that he
was not liable to be taxed for that pur-
pose the information had not been i'm
parted to the Marshal when the war
rant for the arrest of the boys was given
to him. Surprising that the Board had
determined to enforce the collection of
the License, and not stopping to look at
his warrant, the officer proceeded to
arrest Mr.. Hutchinson, and brought
him forthwith into court. His surprise
can be better conjectured than de-

THE OLD HOME.

An outdoor quiet held the earth
Beneath the winter moon.
The cricket chlrped in coy mirtb.
And the kettle crooned, upon the hearth
A sweet, old-fashioned tune.
The old clock licked, q drowsy race,
With the clicking of the cricket.
And red Goals in the chimney-place
Peeped out with many a rosy face.
Like berries in thicket.
Inc cranes arm empty, stuck out stiff.
And tinware on the shelves
TWlnkled and winked at every Cliff,
In Inc nlcker1ng freight, as if
They whispered to themselves.
The good dame, in her ruff1ed cap.
Counted her stitches slowly,
ana the Old man, with full many a gap.
Read from the Big Book on his lap.
The good words, wise and holy.
The old clock clicked, the old man read
His deep voice pausing, lowering:

While-all the milk-pans fitting
Puss paints her whiskers in the cream.
Till John and the belated team
Bring Maggie from the quilting.
May Time, I pray, when failing years
Make thin my voice and thrapple,
Find my last days of life like theirs,
AS sweet with childrens love and pray er
And like a winter-apple.

According to the report of the Secreta-

County Clerks, who obtained their in.
formation from the Assessors, the total
acreage in grain, and hops and tobacco
in Wisconsin in 1874, was 3,4OO,149,
divided as follows Wheat, 1,794, 919 ];

The Proposed Territory of Superior.
From the Evening Wisconsin,

ira From the Evening wisconsin,
The Ontonagon Miner, of the 14th
inst, contains long editorial advocat-
ing the cession of that portion of the
State of Michigan bordering on Lake
Superior and the northern portion of
Wisconsin to the United States, for the
purpose of forming a territory out
of it, and eventually new State. 1t
cites the fact that the Legislature of
this State, in 1852, passed resolutions
favoring this project and il thinks that
if the Michigan Legislature would cede
the portion of territory wanted from
that State there would be no difficulty
in securing the consent of the Wiscon-
sin Legislature to it's part of the pro-
posed scheme.
In this supposition the Miner is evil
IDENTIFY mistaken. What the Legislature
of this State was disposed to do in
of the State was wilderness, and there
was little or no probability that it
would be settled for generations, or that
it would be closely connected with the
southern portion of the State in COM
mercial interests, is no criterion of what
the Legislature would do in 1875 or
1876. The whole northern portion of
the State is now being penetrated by q
system of railroads which have direct
and converging connections with the
central and southern portions of the
State, and the interests of the two ex-
tremes of the State are daily becoming
more closely connected. The main rea-
sons for division of the State which ex-
listed twenty-five years ago do not now
exist, and never can exist again.
It is not surprising that that portion
of Michigan which is separated from
the main part of the State by Lake
should seek a separation, for
the two parts can never be closely
identified in any material respect. The
natural alliance of Superior Michigan
is with Wisconsin, and it should seek
union Herewith rather than separate
Territorial and State government.
