Obituary.

The numerous friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. H. Sleeper will sympathize deeply with
them in the irreparable loss they have been
called upon to sustain by the death of their
little daughter Mamie, of scarlet fever,
early Tuesday morning, after a very brief
illness. Little Mamie was the idol of her
parents, the light and joy of the household,
and general tavorite among her playmates.
But she has ceased her innocent prattings,
and is now joining in the Angelic chorus
with Him who said "suffer little children
to come unto me-" The funeral of little
Mamie takes place at her late home this
"wednesday afternoon at o'clock.
We have the painful duty of announcing
this week the death of Edna B., wife Of Mr..
Edward NJ Kanouse, the sad event oc-
curing at her home at Sun Prairie on the
evening of Friday last, April 9th, 1877.
Mrs kanouse was attacked with virulent
'orm of scarlet fever the Wednesday pre-
Vlous, and thus was sick less than three
days when she breathed her last She was
IN her 25th year when called away, and
beside husband, fond parents, brothers
and sisters, leaves son years of age and
a daughter babe months old to mourn her
sad and sudden decease. Mrs Kanouse re-
sided here with her husband for about
year and half and returned to Sun Prairie,
where they formerly lived, q little over
year since. During her brief stay among
US Mrs. Kano had endeared herself to
large circle of friends and acquaintance,
who will learn with deep regret the intelli-
gence Of her death. 49,

MIR. Finn Abroad.

That knowledge of Mr. Films brilliant
legislative exploit is not confined to Wa
tertown, is shown by the following extract
from the Milwaukee Sentinel of the 9Th
inst: s#
Owing TO degree of stupidity incom-
prehensible in anybody except Democratic
Assemblyman, the city of Watertown will
gave the high.privilege of going through
ednother election on next Tuesday. Repre-
sentative Finn devoted his talent last winter
to procuring certain amendments to the
city charter. providing for the election of
two aldermen, a supervisor and roadmaster
in each ward on the second Tuesday in
April. The Mayor and the balance of the
officers are and were elected on the first
Tuesday, The regular clown meeting day"
Nothing pleases the average Democrat SO
much as to be able to vote often.

A census oftl,c liquor saloonsi in the
Union, which has just been made.
hows that Louisiana holds a good
lace on the list, and still keeps M
$ ancient reputation for hard drink.
1g. New York, Of course, stands
1rst, with %, S3 saloons, or. about
me to each 200 people-a pretty fair
,verage-the average for the whole
7niot being one saloon to each $50
eople. California sllowsthe greatest
alatiye number OF saloons. it we
sgldle the Chinese, whose drin-
ing consists in eating opium, we
nd one bar room to every GO inlla-
.ltants, or every Is adult males in
nat State. The California hoodlum,
therefore, has no lack of liquor to
aspire him in this anti. Chinese
liar. The District Of Columbia comes
ext. 1t is hardly right, however, to
tharge the liquor saloons Of Wash
l1gton to the inhabitants of that
ity; they ought to be credited rath-
i to Congress. 1t is gratifying to
now that Congress has every in
sentive to business, and that every
congressman has a faif showing of
citing a cocktail, there being just
salf a dozen saloons to each legisla-
OF.
Louisiana boasts $3.50 saloons, or
% to each 24O people, a better ave-
age than the rest of the Union.
H-lrginia, although q much more pc.
tulous State, has only 257S. This
promises a pretty good showing for
the Moffett register in this State,
since, if the Virginia saloons produ-
CO $75O,OOO yearly, ours ought to
give the State $9S4,0OO
The liquor saloons in each State
ia proportion to the population are
as follows California, l in 60; Dis
.trict Of Columbia l in 100; Maryland
y in 1870; New Jersey, l in 100;
New York, / in 200; Massachusetts,
/ in $40; Connecticut, l in $50;
Tennessee, l in 400; Georgia, l in
800; Nrth Carolina, l in $50. It will
be seen, to the surprise ofaWany,
that New England is relatively
much stronger in saloons than the
South, and that Massachusetts
mas a greater number of bar-rooms
10 the inhabitants than any Southern
State, except Maryland. (Dem.)

Whether or not Darwin's theory of

has woman sweetheart. A lady
called at the London aquarium to see
the gorilla, and became 50 enamored
of Master Pongo that she took him in
her lap and bestowed upon him every
mark of affection, which he reciprocal
ted. The keeper tried to take him
away, but the woman protested and
begged for him little longer, and the
gorilla tried to clasp her closer. He
was taken from her arms by force, and
both of the lovers were deeply affect

A clergyman, a widower with sev.
en- grown-up daughters, left home a
few days ago for neighboring city,
and wrote back that he had some news
which would surprise them-he had
just married widow with six chill
dren. The seven grown-up daughters
had an awful time till he returned
alone. One Of them mustered up
courage to ask, "Where is our moth.
cry" "In heaven, hope "But
mean the widow with six children that
you married?' 40, l married her to
another man."
