troit lawyers office to study law, the prac-
titioner sat down beside him and said:
"Now, see here, have no time to fool
away, and if you don't pan out we'll I
won't keep you here thirty days. Do you
want to make good lawyer"
Eyes, sir.'
"Well, now, listen. Be polite to old
people, because they have cash. Be good
to the boys, because they are growing up
to cash basis. Work in with reporters
and get puffs. Go to church for the sake
of example. Don't fool any time away on
poetry, and don't even look at girl until
you can plead case. Ifyou can follow
these Instructions you will succeed. Ifyou
cannot, 60 and learn to be doctor and
kill your best friends.

It is, Mr. Editor, with a feeling of regret
that | announce to you and your many
subs ribers, the little m isfortune, " hich be-
fell the people of this cur congregation
few days ago. The loss sustained is none
other than the removal of one OF our hand
some little structures some two Or three
rods from its original base The build
ing formerly stood between the church and
the pastors residence, and apparently
seemed TO be sufficiently strong to bid de-
fance to the high winds, which occasional
ly visit US. AS friends we cannot but syrn-
pathise with the militant members of the
churchyard, and thereby do suggest that
our memorable and respected committee
men, as soon as possible, assemble for the
purpose of deyising some means whereby
the parties interested may be in some way
remunerated for the loss sustained on the
evening OF the New Year.

wisconsin Dairymen.

The fourth annual convention of the
Wisconsin State Dairymen's Association
was held last week, in the village of She
boygan Falls. The attendance was much
larger than at any other meeting, in spite
OF the fact that the weather was most I'm
favorable. There were "A delegates pres
ent, representing the counties of Fond du
Lac, Winnebago, Jefferson, Kenosho, Rock,
Milwaukee, Waukesha, Dane Monroe,
Ozaukee, Manitowoc, Dodge. juneau and
Sheboygan. The convention was made up
of clear headed, practical and Intelligent
men, several of whom were most forcible
and eloquent speakers, and its proceedings
were full of interest and profit to those in
any way engaged in dairying.
The first business transacted was the ap-
pointment of committees, after which the
subject Of Buying milk to make into
cheese" was discussed. Hon. Chester Haz-
en-, of Fond du Lac, thought the factory.
man should have a safe margin. The fac
toryman who buys his milk assumes the
whole risk. The patron ought to share it.
A bad and Improbable year for the manu-
facture of cheese might prove disastrous to
the factoryman who buys all his milk, when
its losses would be easily borne it divided
among the whole number Of patrons Some
plan should be devised to make the matter
equal. He opposed buying milk, and be-
lieved it best for the factory to make cheese
by the pound.
E. s. Jenkins, of Rosendals, spoke intel
Iigently upon the subject. He had paid
more for milk than it was worth, and was
convinced that factorymen could not afford
to buy milk unless patrons would agree to
Cell at an uniform rate through the season
Say at 80 cents per hund red. He was afraid
patrons were not willing to let manufactur-
ers to make profit on the milk they sold,
and be had made up his mind not to bug
milk during the coming season, and should
have to depend upon patronage.
The question, whether show Of Wiscon-
sin dairy products should be made 1t tho
Centennial Exhibition, created considerable
discussion pro and con, which resulted in
the appointment of committee to report
upon tho subject.

The Maintenance OF Heaith.

The maintenance of health is often more

RAILWAY.

Con siderable feeling has been aroused
hereabouts over the order recently issued
by the Chicago and Northwestern Railway,
and put ia force on the lst inst, refusing
to carry passengers on their freight trains
as heretofore. The enforcement OF this
order causes great Inconvenience to the
travelling public along the entire line of
road, and strong disapproval of the new de-
parture By the company is evinced in every
town through which the road passes.
Travelling by freight trains on the North
western had got to be an actual necsss itv
and to5be suddenly cut off from the privi-
iege is seriously felt by the community.
We can hardly believe that the company
viii allow this order to remain long in
force. The interests of the public, and, we
believe, those of the company alike'demand
its revocation.
