killing Birds.

We are informed on good auth GRITTY that
certain 'hoys in this city are amusing
themselves with the very vicious and
wicked work of killing birds. At this
season of the year, especially, when the
birds are Matching their young is this a
very cruel practice and boys or anybody
else engaging in it ought to be held up to
the contempt of the community in which
they live. Nothing more unmanly or
cowardy can be thought of than to ruth
lessly destroy our singing birds which add
so much pleasure and charm to every pn.ce
at the present time. Perhaps these young
Nlmrods are not aware that in killing
olrds they are violating a law of this state
and can be severely punished for each and
every such ofense. Chapter l7S of the
| Laws OF Wisconsin reads as follows:
Section /. 1t shall not be lawful for
any person to destroy, or kill by any de-
vice whatsoever, brown thrushes, blue birds,
martin, swallow, wren. cat-bird or any
other insect-eating bird of any kind: pro-
yided, the same shall be within two mile S
of any incorporated city Of this state.
Section 2. And any person who shall
violate IN any manner the provisions OF
section Of this act shall be deemed guilty
of shall be punished by fine of not less than
| FIVE dollars nor more than twenty-five
| dollars.
| In case the offender after conviction shall
not pay the fine with the costs of prosecu-
| ton, the justice shall commit him to the
County Jail for the space of thirty days IN
| less the fine and costs shall be SOONER
paid,
Boys killing birds within the city
limits are also violating an ordinance Of
the city preventing the firing OF loaded fire
arms and for this they may have the Mar.
shall about their ears some day. A mum.
Der of our citizens take a deep interest In
the preservation of birds within the city
and are determined to see the laws on the
subject enforced to the letter.
Mr.. S. S. Woodland, member of the
State Specimens Association, will give
reward of $l.O0 for information that will
lead to the conviction of any person viola
/ ting the laws of this state against killing
birds. Mr. F. P. Brook will give like re-
ward for the same purpose.
/ We think under the circumstances
the safest way is for the boys to stop this
disgraceful and cruel pastime otherwise
they will surely be arrested and punished
! as the law contemplates.

The Crops.

Favorable weather for the growing crops
till continues. The late rains have put
onward grasses amazingly and good crop
hay seems certain. Wheat grows finel y
nd but for the chinch bug alarm the farm
rs might almost feel safe in counting en-
acre than an average yield. Corn, al
1ough late planted, looks well. Some
ieces Of barley have been cut with the
ire worm and the ground ploughed over
other crops. But on the whole the out
ok at present is not unfavorable to either
.rey or rye. Farmers in this vicinity
We had but little cause for complaints
rs far this season.

Bachelor Ben.

This is the title of novel by Miss Ella
A. Giles, OF Madison, Wis. The main idea
of the book is expressed in the quotation
on the title page, ''Deeds are fruits, words
are but leaves While the writer insists
upon the possession and acknowledgment of
religion as essential to..perfect character, she
holds firmly to the truth that life is more
than belief, conduct more than creed. That
it is even better to be true to erroneous doc
trines, than false to true ones.
This thought is finely and forcibly illus
trated by the two principal characters /:
Bachelor Ben and Theophiles Steele. The
life of the one though governed by no
creed sa We love for Cod and ali Gods crea-
lures, blossoms into all good and noble
deeds, that of the other, thou gh hedged
about with doctrines, is a waste, barren
and fruitless.
The book is evidently written with a
sincere purpose. The author impresses us
with the thought that she is in earnest in
what she has to say, and that she says il
remarks ably well. 1t is simple and unpre-
tending in style, the ideas clearly deTsloped
the language well-chosen, the plot managed
with considerable skill and ability. AL.
together it is work highly creditable to
the writer; obtaining much of merit, il
holds much more of promise. We hope
and believe that the pen which has made
so good a beginning will prove itself capa-
BILE of still better work.
The book is published by Atwood & Cul.
yer, Madison, and by Jansen, McClurg 8
Co., Chicago and is exceedingly neat and
attractive in appearance.

risen considerably.

WI aMdamuS arYed

The Deputy United States Marshal for
the Eastern District of Wisconsin, bounced
down upon the city last week in a formal
manner and served some very informal
papers on our Board Of Street Commission
ers, City Clerk and Treasurer. The paper
were what is known in law as IA lias Man
damuses' in the old case ''of Gurdon Hewitt,
Jr., VS.. the city OF Watertown" asking for
payment of judgment against the city for
$24, 1858, 08 with costs amount ng to $IO3,-
40. The ominous name of E. Mariner, At
torney, appears very conspicuously on the
Mandamuses. The several gentlemen
served with these documents will give
answer in a way very satisfactory to them
selves and the citizens of WATERFOWL.

no mistake the New York store is the most
alluring place in the city, aud it not sur
prising when looking at its crowded shelves
that it is such rendezvous for the ladies.
