Miscellaneous.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Baraboo Republic,
in view Of the mildness of the winter thus
far, calls attention to the fact that ten years
ago, in November and December 1868, the
mercury reached zero only four times, and
seven below was the lowest range, but that
the night of the 31st the mercury fell from
zero to thrty-six below, with gale from the
northwest, making about the most terrible
weather ever experienced in Wisconsin, and
that for eleven successive mornings the mer-
curry at Harvey Hospital, in Madison stood be-
low zero, ranging from four to thirty degrees
A LARGE amount of pine timber has been
cut from the st. Croix grant, and, under in
structions from the powers that be, a survey
and estimate Of the amount thus taken has
Just been completed. Millions of feet have
been taken, according to the report of the
agents. United States Deputy Marshal Doc
little has seized upon all the logs of large
lumber company in Chippewa county.
THERE is considerable talk again about NOV
ing the land Office from Menasha, where it
has been located for some time past, to some
point further to the north.
Mr.. LYMAN DRAPER, Secretary of the State
Historical Society," has lately made an appeal
to the public-spirited people of Wisconsin for
donation to enable the society to bind the
large collection of periodicals and other liter
airy works in their possession. The collection
comprises some $4,000 volumes, and is the
largest collection in the Northwest.
Brooks ADAMS has written letter to the
New York Tribune criticising the Potter law
of this State. The conclusion that he comes
TO is that the Legislature of this State can
constitutionally do a very unjust thing. He
thinks that the law illustrates one mischief of
written constitutions, and that is ''they tend
to substitute legal test for public conduct
instead of a moral code of right and wrong"
No written instrument, he holds, can provide
for every emergency or guard against every
attempt at evasion, and little good can come
from efforts to strain words beyond their OBJ
vious meaning to meet sudden emergencies.
wrong is not the less but the greater, if
sheltered behind the forms of law or con-
situations.
