and robbed of something over 5000.
OSHKOSH has had another fire,-this
time S12,0 900 affair; but at one time it

that portion of the city left standing
after the great blaze.
THE remains of Anton Seidel were
disinterred on Wednesday of last week
at Harrison, Calumet county, and found
to be petrifed and as hard as a rock.

hing from wagon.
LAST Saturday morning woman
named Catarine Sidlo, living near the
village of Kewaunee, WAS found hanging
by her neck in her own house. The
deed was evidently premeditated, as she
sent her husband to the village after
some meat, and as soon as he left the

LESS anxiety is being felt in the grass
hopper infected districts of Missouri
and Kansas than when the plague first
appeared. The pests are not making
as much progress as was expected, and
there are hopes that they will entirely
disappear before the season is far advan-
ced. Nevertheless, the damage already
inflicted upon the growing crops is not
inconsiderable, and farmers will have
cause to long remember their visit.
They have grasshopper extermina-
tor in Eau Claire county which accor-
ding to the Free Press is on the cram
page" Reports from the far west state
that bug has appeared which is busily
devouring the grasshoppes May the
bugs tribe increase. We have nothing
but the vatrachia to rely on if grasshop-
pers should come here, and it does not
| dlsplease us to relate that our insect de-
stroyers are once more on the rampage.

JOE HARRINGTON, fisherman of this
village, about two weeks ago threw an
old clay pipe, to which string was at
taehed, into the lake, never expecting
to see it again. But the other day on
taking up his nets, which were about
two miles from the place where the pipe
was cast away, he found it hanging in the
meshes of one of them. How the pipe
got to the net is a mystery. Joe thinks
however, that some honest old sucker,
seeing the pipe, concluded to take a
smoke, and after indulging in the weed
to its satisfaction, carried the pipe out to
his nets and hung it up where he could
find it.-ChrOnicie.
LAST Sunday Cleveland man killed
his mother in-law with an adza, which
adds interest to the circumstance, but
ne pleads insanity. 1t will be very diff
ficult to secure a general acceptance of
the theory that man Is necessarily in
sane who is guilty of such a crime, for
unless wide distinction is drawn be-
tween the state of feeling which tends to
the act itself, there is almost no limit to
the amount of insanity in the world
