-Thos. Bardon, We "traveling
encyclopedia, as our Washington
correspondent calls him, came up
from Ashland Saturday and spent
several days in town, returning to
his adopted home this (Friday)
morning. Speaking Of the Wis
consin Central Railroad, Mr.. b.
said that the company would hardly
be able to complete the building OF
the road to Ashland this year
thinks there will be q gap Of 10 or
20 miles of unfinished road, but
says that stage line will proba BIZ
connect the two ends, and that all

The committee appointed at
the annual school meeting in July
to examine into the accounts Of the
School District Treasurer, and
which is composed of Richard
Ref, Thos. Clark and A. G. Brown,
have been at work during the past
week. What the result OF their iu-
vestigation is or will be we do not
know, but if common reports are
to be relied on, we feel pretty GER
tain they won't find any money in
the Treasury. Indeed, if we are
correctly informed, the Treasurer
has admitted, on the street, that he
is thirteen hundred dollars short,

The School Board refused to
accept the bonds of D. Geo. Morri-
son, who was elected School Dis
trict Treasurer at the annual school
meeting in July, and the power to
appoint person to fill the vacany
caused thereby having devolyed up
on the Town Clerk, Through the
neglect of the School Board to ap,
point person to fill the vacancy
" 'ithin the time given them by law
Mr.. Cadotte last week appointed
James Collier, Esq, as Treasurer.
Dir. Collier possesses at least one
good qualification for the office, if
no other, and that is that he is re-
puted to possess pelf enough Of
his own, so that there will be no
very great temptation to him to use
school money for private purposes,
to the great detriment Of the dis
trict, as has been done in this dis
trict the past few years.
THE FISH TRADE.-The fish
trade of this point is evidently des
