Juneau, March /, 1875.

ty has occurred during the present winter
in a German family, named Heynig, living
about II miles North OF this village. Last
fall the husband and father died of typhoid
fever, and has since been followed by five
of the children, the last one, a girl of about
nineteen, dying last Sunday, all of the
same disease. One son lies at present in
critical condition. 1t seems quite reason
able to suppose that his strange fatality is
not altogether an act of Providence, but
that some hidden agency has contributed to
bring about Sc sad result. Neighbors
from far and near have shown their SYM
pathy for the bereaved family by assisting
them in the necessary work during the
winter.
OF the cases tried during the past week
by our Circuit Court two will be Of more
special interest to some of your readers
One was the case of Isaac Frank against
Charles Dunning and wife, all residents Of
your county, for alleged SANDER uttered by
Mrs. Cunning in saying that Mr.. Frank
had burned his hep-house. After the testi
mony for the plaintiff was closed, the de-
PENDANTS counse (Hon. D. Hal) moved for
q non-suit, on the ground that it was not
shown by the evidence, that the Defendant
knew that the house and its contents were
insured The motion for a non-suit was
granted by the Court.
The other case was that of John T. Slight
against-and Gutzlaff for maintaining
a nuisance this was settled by agreement
between the parties, the defendants paying
the plaintiff twenty five dollars.
The criminal cases of which there are
only two or three will come up early in
the week.
The presence of large number of law
yers, jurymen, witnesses, &C., have made it
quite lively here during the past week,
and as Court will probably continue in
session during the present week, most Of
our visitors will probably remain with US
iOT SOine udyS YET.
Efforts are being made by business men
Of this place and farmers of the neighbour
hood to establish monthly cattle fairs in
this village. 1t is matter of wonder that
while such fairs have been established by
| nearly all of the villages in the county, no
effort has as yet been made to establish
them here. Not only is the location here
central, but the neighborhood is as good a
stock raising region as any in the State,
and these two facts ought to make cattle
fairs success here
