Crooked Transaction in whtskv.

Last week one NJ Schltz, peddling
liquors for Schoenhals' Liquor House. Mil
waukee, was arrested by Sheriff Gi les, for
peddling without State license. AT the
same time it occurred to our city authori-
ties that person selling Liquor by the key
from wagon, was subject to pay for a
city license in order to place him on a par
with other dealers of liquor in the city.
Mr.. Schlitz was taken before Justice Ducasse
for both ofenses, and fines and costs imposed
amounting to S54 II. Deputy U. S. Col
lector Cheney, was absent at thu time of
the arrest, but on his return concluded that
where such shortcomings existed towards
the city and state, the United States Gov
eminent could not have been dealt Justly
by and pried into the case little, finding
that Schli!z had no United States license
as liquor dealer for these parts doing all
the business on the strength of the license
held by the house for transacting the LIQUOR
trade in Milwaukee. Informal ton was at
once forwarded to the y. S. Collector of this
district as well as the Collector for the Mil
waukee Revenue district, resulting in Mr..
Schoenhals having to pay special tax as
liquor dealer with the penalty attached for
| selling liquors without license. We I'm.
derstand Mr.. Schoenhals is one of the few
liquor dealers who had no trouble dur
ing the recent difficulties among the liquor
men OF Milwaukee. His trouble her. xrose
from being victim to ignorance of the law
We are inclined to the opinion, however,
that his peddling wagon will not appear here
very soon again.

Croquet.

The Baltimore Sun tells of new mode
of playing croquet, as folio ws:-ssThe latest
m de of setting the hoops is to place them
so that the hoop shall be less than eight
yards from one boundary, and each player
is compelled to run the middle hoop four
times late variation is to have two four
ball games, one set starting from each end
of he lawn. If ball belonging to the
other set is in the way it may be taken up
and replaced. By rule adopted, at start
ing, the players ball is to be placed one
foot from the first hoop and opposite its
center instead of a mallets length, as for
merly. The object is to make the first
hoop certainty, and so to bring all the
balls into play at once. IF the first hoop
is missed the ball is not taken up, but re-
mains where it lies. and is liable to be
made use of by the other balls, whether
they have run the first hoop or not. This
puts player at the first stroke of his turn
in precisely the anne relation to all the
balls as he is at the commencement of all
subsequent turns. Thus layer may at
his first turn play either for hoop or a
roquet. Formerly he had to run the first
hoop before playing for roquet; now he
may play for a roquet before taking any
hoop. Striking ball tight is abo lished,
but pegging out is retained. 1t is sore
point, especially with ladies, when about TO
go OUT to have ones plans spoilt by an ad-
yersary who knocks you outside the boun-
dairy, but this is the chances of war and
makes the game more interesting"

Health-Giving Waters.

We do not wish to play upon the credu-
lily of our readers, but we are informed by
the best authority-the gentlemen them
selyes-that Messrs. Burton & Hogaboom
are the sole owners of all the wafer Il Ge-
neya Lake. These gentlemen have con-
ceived grand scheme, which, ifsuccessful,
will make them millionaires in very short
space of time. They propose to sell this
water for $40 per barrel. All the enter
prise lacks is customers, who are verdant
enough to believe that Geneva water is any
different from that which can be found at
Waukesha or Sparta, or in Rock river even.
We observe one evidence of success in the
scheme, however, AID that is the prodi gal
ity with which these gentlemen propose
to advertise. They say that if we will pub
lish two column advertisement, and send
them two dollars to pay for the barrel, they
will send us, subject to freight charges, &C
gallons-no more, no less wateri Now
we are sorry that we cannot accommodate
Messrs. B. & A., but we haYe a well and
cstern on our premises which furnish all
the water our small family stands in need
of. But they say, that in case We do not
want the water ourselves, we can very
readily dispose of it for So or $40. We are
we'll aware that it is very dry time about
here at present, but we hardly think il
would pay to raise potatoes or run mill ma
chinery with water costing at the rate OF
$40 per parrel.

result.
Wheat will be ready for the reaper

will be q twO-thirds crop.
