THE RESULT IN THE COUNTY.

Without attempting to give the figures
in the county election (Which we have
not been able to procure) enough is
known to warrant us il saying that the
entire reform" ticket received q ma
jority ranging from % to 1900, and con-
sequently G. r. Zorn, ID the LIST Dist.
Thos. Mohr, in the I'd, and VIM. Tisch,
in the Sd, are elected to the Assembly,
and W. A. Walker for County Superin-
tendent and A. Piening for Clerk of the
Circuit Court. The result, considering
the regular democratic majority, is not
very surprising to any one. The vote
was one Of the lightest ever polled in
this county, and the returns bear evi-
dence that no unusual interest was taken
in the election. 1t being the will of the
majority, we accept the result, very
gracefully, with hope that the success
full men may reflect credit upon the
county and their constituents.

A BRAVE ACT.-The recue of the crew
of the La Sale, which went ashore three
miles north of here during the fearful
storm of last Monday night, by four
fishermen of this village, was an act
of generous bravery which is seldom
equaled and is well worthy of the highest
praise. When Telisford st. Peter, Felix
Greenwood, Moses Bunker and Peter
I4afond saw the crew of that in-fated
vessel clinging to the rigging while the
seas were breaking madly over her bull
warks, they resolved to rescue them if
possible, we'll knowing the danger they
would encounter in doing SO, but they
did not hesitate one moment. By years
of practice in plying the heavy ashen
oar and trimming the sails of their little
Macklnacs, these men have acquired
strength and skill which We're severe
ly tested by the wild seas running
that memorable morning, yet they bat
tied with the waves stou tly, bravely and
successfully. Freeing themselves of all
unnecessary clothing, they carriey their
boat to the beach and launched it in the
surf. After getting off from the shore,
which was accomplished with no little
difficulty, by hard work they succeeded
IN reaching the vessel and getting the
men all safely to land.
When the ife-boat station is establish
ed here there will be no lack of brave,
competent men to man the hfe-boat in
case of a shipwreck.

A MAGNIFICENT FRAUD.
Something which Should Engage the
Attention of our County Board,
How the Assessment in this County
is Made by men who don't do
the Fair Thing.

Below we copy the assessment returns
of this county furnished us by Mr.. J. P.
Wickert, Clerk. It will be noticed,
first that the returns in many of the
towns are shamefully incomplete, and
second that they have been made, in
many instances, with a view to relieving
the respective towns from paying their
Just proportion of taxes. For instance,
In hossuth two mules are quoted at be-
ing worth $15, while in Two Rivers two
are assessed at 500 horses in Maple
Grove are worth but O little over $40
apiece, while in Two Creeks they are
quoted at nearly S54 in Eaton sheep
and lambs are assessed at about 81 each,
and in Gibson at 25 cents in Rockland,
hogs are supposed TO hold a 81 bill
level while in Gibson the assessor thinks
it takes four to represent an equal value.
There are supposed to be but fifteen
wagons, carriages and sleighs in the
entire township of Maple Grove, worth
on an average of So each. There are ten
towns in the county in which there is
not single watch, and Kossuth pianos
and melodeons are worth but 81. so.
All the mills and stocks of goods in the
towns of Gibson and RockIand, amt
worth cent, while the residents in the
town of Newton do not own a cents
worth of personal property. In Rock
land, for instance, %, 897 acres of land
are worth $33, ia, OF about $14G an
acre, and in a similar manner the entire
returns are made.
OF course the County Board has the
privilege of correcting the returns, but
that is not what is wanted. What we
demand, in the name of the taxpayers
in this county, is that assessors be COM
PEELED to make something like fair re-
turn of the valuation of the property in
their respective towns, or be brought
up with o short turn. Our exposure of
the Infamous practice of irving to avoid
paying a proportionate share of taxes,
by the assessors of several towns, had
the effect to call attention to the gross
outrage last year, and now that the facts
are again brought to the notice of our
Board, we desire that those who make
such outrageous returns be punished, if
such thing can be done. AS it now is,
the assessment of property in this coun-
ty is farce, and it will be 50 as long as
assessors are allowed to go on and make
returns without any regard to correct
ness or fairness.
Following are the figures read them
carefully and see what farcical array
it is L:

Mr.. SILAs WARD, secretary Of the
Grange of the town of GAINESVILLE, has,
within short time, shipped forty cases
of Wisconsin tobacco to James r. Nc
Donald & Co., of Hamburg, Germany,
which has Melted him about 81 cents per
pound. The..tobacco gave good satisfac-
ton, as shown from the letters received
from the Hamburg firm. This is the
largest shipment of tobacco ever made
direct from here to Germany, and the
Grange is to be congratulated on their
success in receiving the highest price
therefor, and is to be commended on its
enterprise.

As many of our readers will never see
one of the new fifty dollar greenbacks,
unless they come to this Office to get a
large bill changed, we will describe it.
The face OF the note does not differ SO
much from the other fifties we all have in
our pockets, except that in place of the
goddess of Liberty holding up a cheese
knife. we have young Wisconsin girl with
her dress pinned back about 900 Fab
renheit, holding to her hustle with her
right hand, as though it was loose. Her
eye is sot on a young man on the oppo-
site corner who is standing on hotel
steps picking his teeth while the proprl-
.etor of the hotel is kicking him for not
paying his bill. Between the two figures
we have a life-like representation of an
Aleock's porous plaster, with the words
Quilted States" surrounding man who
is evidently in the last stages of con-
sumption, racked by terrible cough
sthat is killing him by inches, while his
wife sits near him with tears in her eyes,

stock company and make agricultural
implements? A little help from each
would do it, and save them and the
county thousands of dollars annually.

lost in those last eight years on every

grain. 1t can be shipped as cheap from

vators are not the only things we want
We need manufacturing establishments.
just look and see how many hundred
thousand dollars the county has paid
during the last five years for agricultural
implements, of which a great share should
have been made at home. Farmers of
Manitowoc county, do you know that
you pay from SO to rs per cent. more for
your reapers, mowers: horse rakes and
seeders than you ought to? Eastern
and Southern States are getting rich
from your purchase of tools, the most
of which should be made at home Such
a manufacturing establishment would
give employment to large class of men
that is now out of employment, and keep
our money at home. VIM. G.

Reldgrae Letter in New York Herald.
Two priests in Il monastery not far from,
Berbir, which is a:rurkish fortress oppo'
site Alt Gradi>ka, in Austria, were con-
vioted by the Turks OF participating in
tile insurrection. A force was sent to the
monastery, and one of the priests Was cap
tured. The other succeeded tn escaping
to the mountains. Tie priest who was
taken had his hands and feet cut off while
he was alive, and after beiug allowed to
suffer the horrible tortures consequent on
mu,ilati"n, for some time, he was impated
on a sharp stake and left as u warning to"
all others. A troop Was sent into the hill
sde forest in pursuit Of the second priest
but he was not found until a day or two
after. when hunger forced him to stray
INTO neighboring village. There he was
recognized, denounced by some Bosnian
Mussulmans and at once arrested. A
guard WAS sent for, and the unfortunate
priest Was brought into Berbir half dead
from wounds and with huge iron collar
.round his neck. He " as thrown into
filthy dungeon and was not even given
food. He seemed likely TO starve before
his tormentors should decide to kill him.
OaIy the energetic interposition Of the
Austrian consul saved him,
