The ice-boat season has arrived at last.
Third lake is daily focked with the
! feeting sails of the numerous ice
craft which have anchorage along
that shore, and a regatta is talked of for
an early day. Fourth Lake still remains
untitled for the sport, the ice being
rough and bubbly. The ice men find it
unfit for use, and patronize Third Lake
wholly, as they did last year.-MadisOn

The numbering interests have bad
/ appearance at present, and advices from
the north say that this business was
never in so bad conniti0n as it is at
present. Hundreds of men are in
camp doing scarcely anything, and
supplies in some places have been
badly cramped, owing to the bad roads
which make it impossible for teams to
travel with any load. The men are do
ing some cutting" and "skidding,"
| add are likewise preparing for full work
when snow comes. SO far everying is
being worked at disadvantage. and will
until snow falls.

THE Menomonie Times saws: "Mr.
Peter Rice, of Weston, that old man who
was sent to the penitentiary about six
months ago for adultery, had served out
his time and arrived at Menomonie last
Saturday on his way home, and having
no place particular to 60 when here, it is
supposed he went to the jail for the pur-
pose of getting something to eat. When
called to dinner he started for the dining
room, but instead of opening the door
leading to that room, he by mis-
take opened the cellar door and
stepped in, and not anticipating a step
downward, stumbled and fell, striking
his forehead on the lower step, with
such force as to crush his skull and break
his neck. The step was also broken. He
was buried on Monday"
A MINISTER named II. w Steinecker
jumped from moving train at Van
dyne, Saturday night, and was violently
thrown to the ground, striking his head
on the rail of the side-track. He Law
there all night, and until discovered next
morning by the agent. He was sent to
Oshkosh, and still lies unconscious at
one OF the hotels. His head is badly
swollen where he struck the rail, and the
physicians have not ascertained whether
the skull is fractured. The green on the
snow was caused by bile which he had
vomlted up during the night. He had
evidently thrashed about considerably
during the night, and was found close to
the main track in the morning. He was
passed unnoticed by the morning train
north, and it is fortunate for him he did
not, In tioundering about, throw himself
across the track, or he would have been
run over
