JAS. Burke and Henry Walsh, two eti-
cient teachers in this neighborhood have
dismissed their schools for the holidays
and have gone to taste the comforts and
bliss of home, sweet home.
John Carey has returned from his cas-
tern trip looking better and feeling fun
nier than when he departed. John saw
a great deal in his travels and observed
things closely. His visit included the
twin cities of New York and Brooklyn.
Richard Cody, JAS. KIrwan and Mich

CUES are here visiting their parents.
They are pursuing course of studies at
the Normal in Oshkosh. They will re-
main here during the holidays.
Sleighing is frst-rate and farmers are
improving the opportunity by rafting
things through rather lively.
The debating society inaugursted here
last fall seems to be dwindling away for
the want of proper support. This IS too
bad, especially in a neighborhood of this
kind where every man you meet is either
a ready reckoner or a ready debater.
The new statutes give great satisfaction
to justices, constables and pettifoggers.
The limbs of the law hereabouts have
already the greater Fart of them (the
statutes) committed to memory. 1t is
extremely humorous to hear them draw
comparisons between the old and the
new.

Do the city authorities propose to
have a harbor on Thompson's Creek?
Whenever new appropriation is made
for tne riyulet, everybody asks ''where
the devil is the 'creek?'" 1t is about
time that streamlet were navigable, or
perhaps it would be well for the city to
execute a conveyance of it to Thompson
himself, unless like Sairy Camps friend
Mrs. Harris, he is invisible 80 all but the
''creek' of which his name is an adjunct.

McLaren refuses to contest the seat
OF Mr.. Wall, democrat assemblyman
elect from a Milwaukee dist In this matter
McLaren shows himself fair minded
gentleman. He states that some of the
illegal votes cast were SO technically, and
that the parties were really entitled to
vote. Partisan republicans were anxious
to proceed on the supposition that every
illegal vote cast was In favor of Wall. A
preposterous conclusion truly.

A YOUNG man living at Kellnersville
lately committed suicide. Rather q ro-
mantle story is related as the cause, by
those who claim to be acquainted with
the facts. He had been engaged to a
girl who lived in the neighborhoo2, but
the friends of both parties were averse
to their marriage. The two young peo-
pie feeling that life had no charms when
not enjoyed together, agreed to put an
end to their troubles by ending their
lives. In pursuance Of this agreement
the girl committed suicide last spring,
and the young men proceeded to adjust
his affairs from that time to the dav of
his death. lie is spoken of as a person
of good habits and man who enjoyed
the respect of all his neighbors.

The new revised statutes makes it a
punishable offense to use any insulting
or obscene language toward any person
II the presence of third party, or to use
any language which would provoke an
assault. For any such offense the per-
son is to be fined a sum not exceeding
500, Or sul1er Imprisonment for period
not more than three months. This is
very judicious law, and one that has long
been q necessity. In many cases of as
sault the propagation Is such as to justify
the battery, and the person assaulted is the
real offender. In fact insulting language
Is not inflequehtly used for the purpose
Of provoking an assault SO as to crafty
spite through the means furnished by the
law. This new provision gives the ag-
grieved person redress which was denied
lin heretofore, and which compelled
him TO right himself by technical yio-
lation OF law.

THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS has made his
report on Rivers and Harbors in the
Northwest. The amount recommended
for 1879 has been published in the PILOT
some weeks ago. The report contains
some interesting facts in relation to the
Two Rivers harbor. 1t is said that ac-
cretions are forming around the present
bridge pier at that place, and that in con
sequence the water is becoming shallow.
As the prospect of an early completion
OF the harbor will prevent the extension
of this pier it is urged upon the govern
ment to so improve the harhor that it can
be used in short time, otherwise the
commerce of the port will be greatly i'm
paired. The work to be done next year
on the Manitowoc harbor will consist of
an extension OF the piers and such dredg
ing as will be deemed necessary.
