This shows an increase in our DO pula ton
over the United States Census of 1870 OF
1874, our number of iuha b;tants then being
1850. Our one colored citizen, as sh own by
the census of 1870, has departed, and at the
present time there is not colo,ed person
within the city limits. No blind person is
recorded, and but two deaf and dumb. We
think it is worthy of note that WATERFOWL
does not contain single negro. Perhaps
no other city Or town of the same popula-
ton in the United States can show q
like exemption from American citizens of
African descent. Watertown is to be Gel
graduated over the steady increase she has
made in her population during the past
five years, and there is no reason why she
should not increase in the same ratio in
the FIVE yearsto como which would give us
quite respectable showing in the United
States census of 1880.

CrOQUet.

Like baseball. had a feverish run on
introduction into this country. Ev-
cry family went into it vigorously, and
burglar could hardly approach a house
through the yard without falling over NAL
lets and balls, and awakening tia neigh
borhood by his swearing. Then again,
like baseball, the mallet handles warped in
the summer sun and the balls cracked from
disuse. a reaction always follows an ex-
element, but croquet, once more like base
ball, is popular again, and new bids fair to
be established permanently among out door
sports. While the game is somew hat tame,
and leads to quarrels turning husband and
wife and parents and children against one
another, 1t is the only game thar will place
them on an equal footing with the men. 1t
requires no great physical strength, but on
ly accuracy Of aim and dexterity The
great objection to it has been the opportu.
mites it gives for differences of opinion,
which lead to no end of argument This is
now almost obviated, certain rules having
been agreed upon by croquet clubs, and
they are in no instance suspended. These
are not, but if necessary depending on the
ability of the players) can be made, severe.
Harper's Bazaar has given the best set OF
rules in the briefest manner. Carefully ob-
served, ladies and gentlemen will find con-
siderable amusement in q Presby terian bill

1t has become pretty generally known
throughout our village, that fine spring
of water has quite recently been discover
ed near the railroad, little north of Ra-
cine street on a lot owned by Mr. C. Stop
penbach, the water of which is said to be
equal to the Sparta or Palmyra springs, or
even to the famous Bethesda. The spring
was dug out or discovered by Mr., P. Nc
Aztec, gentleman that has visited both the
Sparta and Palmyra spriags for his health,
and who feels very confident of the medicin-
al qualities of this spring water. Nothing
has as yet been done to it but to clean away
little of the earth 80 as to obtain clean
water. The water is very clear, soft, and
has rather strong taste of minerals but
no real test of its qualities has yet been
made. Hundreds of our citizens visit the
spring daily to obtain their drinking water.
and carry it to their houses and places of
business in pals.

The first case reported under
the new civil rights bill, occurred at
Wilmington, N. c., yesterday. A
person Of African descent demanded
his rights in a saloon devoted to the
tippling Of white men-in other
words, the colored gentleman de-
manded the privilege of buying .
drink, according to the cu-tomc Of
the white folks. His demand beiny
rcfused, his griey.see was broasht
before the q. 5. Commissioners, who
very properly dismissed the case on
the ground that the civil rights bill
does not extend to the bar-rooms.
This is good ruling, whether legal
or not. If negroes will get drunk,
they ought to do it in disreputable
hotels, and not in first class saloons,
where only whites are allowed
to make beasts of themselves The
civil rights bill discourages their
getting drunk at all.-,St. Paul
