existence for many year. AT the meet
ing on Friday eve last report of the

RrproN &C. J. Robbins has had the
misfortune to have horse badly cut on
s,ythe, disabling it probably for a long
time. A short time afterwards his re.
naming horse died, making the third he
has lost in a short period. Upon making
an examination, the fact was revealed
that the animals heart had grown to an
abnormal size, being as large as water
pail, and showed signs of liberation. We
believe it was one Of the pair that fell
through bridge recently.
On the oath inst, Messrs. X. b Foster
and Varney were crossing bridge near
Mr.. J. Bent's, with yoke Of oxen when
one of the strngers broke, precipitatng
Mr.. V. aud the oxen to the water, some
eight or ten feet below. Mr.. V. had Il
narrow escape for his life, piece of the
stringer in falling just grazing his head
and and shoulder, bruisiug the latter con.
sidcrably' Mr.. Foster escaped without
injury. but one Of the oxen was somewhat
hurt.

Elsie Spaulding, has been taken from our num-
Der. by sudden DEATH therefore
Resoiped That while we would bow submissive

Him "too wise too orr, and too good to be un-

They remained there, forty or fifty
of them, from October to january
confident that the year 1873 would
see the end of all ,sublunary things,
and certain, at all events. that there
was chance to enjoy some Of its

The CIReUIr COURT, Judge Hark-

going on the fifth week. Only a
small part Of the time has been ecu
pied with cases of Ken osba county.
One case from Waukesha county oc-
cupied one week, the jury failing to
agree. And one case from Milwau-
I1ee county has occupied over two
weeks, and it is said that the plaintiff
is not half through and that the case
m ay last till July. As all things are
have an end it may reasonably be
.ehoped that the Milwaukee case will
have an end. And when the lion and
the lamb shall lie down together, and
little child shall play upon the hole
of cockatrice, and there shall be
nothing to hurt or make afraid, and
man shall becomea law unto himself,
it may reasonably be hoped that llti-
cation will have an end. Blessed
were the peace-makers 1874 years
ago, and more blessed will it be
when man, being law unto himself,
will be at peace with his brother
man, and when the occupation cf the
