THAT r. r. CASE AT WooDMAN.-
The following letter from Justice
parkor, Of WvvdInan, oorroots sumo
statements made last week in refer
ence to the trial of the case, State
vs. Ticket Agent, at Woodman on
the 10Th inst. as follows:
Mr.. EDITOR In the last issue OF
the HERALD appears in an article
headed Woodman," the following ::
sThe DEFENDANTS counsel objected to
any proof Of distances except actual
measurement. The object was sus-
tanned, cause dismissed with costs
and defendant discharged. Fiat
justitia, ruat ceIum." Now this is
entirely a mistake. Hon. o. B.
Thomas, the counsel for the defence,
made several objections to questions
nut by the District Attorney, and
the District Attorney withdrew his
ouestions without any ruling from
the Court. Then be attempted to
nroye the acknowledgement of the
R r Co. as to the distance from
Woodman to Prairie du Chen ey
the mile posts. This was objected
to by Mr.. Thomas os the ground
that the r. r Co. was not party
70 the suit, and such an admission Of
the company to witness would not
he evidence in the case. NOW my
rnl;ng on this motion was that an
admission of the company, or any
corporation or individual, to a tniro
nortv would not be the admission OF
lanes Bohan, the defendant, as &c
the distance. If they could prove 81
admission of the defendant or prove
the distance by any witness wa,
willing to receive the evidence
merely wish you to carry out tnt
motto at the bottom of the article
referred to, viz Fiat justltla, r9to
ceIum-and publish this explanation
for in the article the inference IS car
ried that | would not admit OF any
testimony to prove the distance ex

THE New POSTAL LAw.-It seems
that the provisions of the new postal
law are not generally understood.
many thinking that the law requiring
postage on newspapers circulated in
the county where published" does not
60 out of effect until January lst, neyt.
This inference is wrong. Portions of
the law are already in effect and other
portions will be until January /. So
much oft as relates to the prepayment
OF postage on newspapers and period
lcals, by the Office of publication at
the mailing Office, will not take effect
until the first of January next,-and
the rate of postage will be two cents
apound on all newspapers or periodi-
cal publications issued weekly or less
frequently, and three cents pound on
those issued at greater intervals. So
much OF the law as relates to the free
delivery of newspapers in the counties
where published goes into effect i'm
mediately, and applies to all newspa-
pers-daily, weekly, semi monthly,
monthly, or quarterly. This is the
decision of the Post Office Depart.
ment, officially made, and ends all
doubt or misunderstanding on the sub
Ject. A very natural construction of
the law as it reads would be to make
this clause take effect on the lst of
January next also, but the Post Of
fice Department, with enlightened in
telligence, has construed it in favor of
the people aud not against them. ALI
therefore, no matter how
often published, will circulate within
the county where published without
any charge for postage.

The concert given here by the

The Rev. Mr.. Young, who used

Our farmers say since they got
into their wheat that the chintz bug
has not operated so badly as they
thought in the early part of the sea-
son, and that the wheat is going to
be a good crop, turning out very
fair yield. They think they were
worse scared than hurt.
"A little more trouble among
neighbors in consequence of poor
fences and breechy cattle. The

"A couple of fellows were out last

Politics is on its high heels and

every day during the past week,
prominent political. men were seen
in our town. Members of congress
are more numerous than the grass
hoppers in Iowa or Minnesota and
how much better than the latter
insect remains to be seen. They
operate good deal on the same
principle, eating the blades and sop
ping the stock.
Some of US fellows out of the
ring think that those who are around
electioneering might spend little
money on us. The way matter
stands it looks Il little elannish to
take one fellow down to Pete's and
leave another just as good fellow
splitting cotton on the bare street."
Now, boys, when you are around
let little of your kindness flow in

lures, give them a rest.
The horse race, here last Saturday,
was not very large affair, only two

Lawless horse winning the first mon

between the McAvoy and Lewis
horses in which the Lewis horse
won. This was followed by q foot
race between Lewis aud Hickok 10
which there was foot race, a wres-

sulting in the favor of Hickok. The
excitement and fun of the day con-
tinued until late hour.

AFFRAY AT PRAIRIE DU CHEN. - On
Saturday morning last as Mr.. Menges,
of the firm of Scheuman g. Menges,
brewers of Prairie du Chen, was 90
ing home, it is said somewhat under
the influence of liquor, he met one
VIM. Tracy and showed him off the
sidewalk while passing. Lacy got up
and Menges struck him in the face, at
which Lacy struck his opponent, it is
thought with stone, which brought
him to the ground. The fallen man
was not supposed to have been injur-
ed as he was afterwards seen about
town. Nothing was thought of the af-
fair until Monday morning when it
was reported that Menges was dying;
and in a short time crowds of Ger
mans had assembled. They procured
arms and proceeded to the Jail where
Lacy was con6ned-their object be-
ing, as they said, to see that he was
not removed until something definite
was known of Menges' condition. He
was, at last accounts, not expected to
live, and great excitement prevailed.
Threats have been made that Lacy
would be lynched should Menges die.
