That Bull Case.

In the celebrated bull case of Susannah
Pritchard against John Jones, the Circuit
Court of the United States, at Milwaukee,
last Monday, Sc: aside the verdict of the
jury for $1,000, which had been rendered in
plaintiffs favor. This decision was made
on defendants motion, upon the ground
that no cause of action had been proven
that the evidence conceding it all to be
true, did not show that Mr.. Jones was in
any way at fault. This motion was heard,
before Jude Drummond and Judge DYER.
and led TO the fullest discussion of the law
and the facts of tie case. 1t is believed
that this decision made by so able court
based, not upon any technicality, but upon
| the merits of the whole case, after so full
an investigation, practically ends this suit;
and again settles it. that servant takes the
attendant risks of hazardous employment.
where nothing is concealed from him: ard
that the owner OF bull or of any domes.
tic animal, is not liable for injuries received
from it, unless he knew the animal to be
vicious, nor even then, if the servant also
knew it, aad voluntarily continues in the
employment.

In our style of climate, with its sudden
changes of emperature-rain, wind and

1t is no wander that our children, friends
and relatives are so frequently taken from

ing directly from this cause. A bottle of
Boschee's German Syrup kept about your
home for immediate use will prevent serious
sickness, a large doctors bill, and perhaps
death, by the use of three or four doses

having contracted to build railroad
through Brazil, Emperor Dom Pedro's
Secretary has notified the contractors
that no colored men will be admitted
On the working force. Dom has an
idea relative to the safety of his King
dom, in this apparently harsh order.
The negro slaves of Brazil, seeing freed
men of the United States working side
by side and on equal terms with their
white brethren, might become envious
at the sight, and make efforts to break

A movement is on foot among the surviv-

State Constitutional Convention to celebrate
the thirty ninth anniversary of the signing
of the State Constitution on the lst Of next
February by holding reunion and banquet
in the city OF Madison. Considerable more
than half of the members of the last consti-
tutional convention are dead, and many Of
the others are widely scattered in other
parts of the Union and abroad. Of the
members of that body many have occupied
prominent places since the convention was
held. Two Mrs. Harvey and Lewis have
served as Governsors of the state, and one
Messrs. Wilton and Cole have been Judges
of the Supreme Court, the former Chief J us

have been Judges of the Circuit Court; two,
Messrs. Beale and Lewis. have been Lieut.
Governors; one, Gen. Loring, was a Gener-
al in the late war, and was Minister to
Rome, and very large number have repre-
sented their people in one or the other
branch of the State Legislature. Three
members of the Constitutional co INVENTION
of 1916 are now residents of watertown,

Fire.

Our citizens were aroused from their
slumbers at about o'clock New Year 8
morning by an alarm of fire. The cause
proceeded from the burning of Mrs. T.
kunert's frame building on 4th street, I'd
ward, occupied by Kunert Brothers as a
Gunsmith and Gas Fitting shop. The
flames had made considerable Roadway be-
fore the engines could get on the ground,
owing to the terribly rough condition of
the streets, but theSlsby was soon at work
followed in few minutes by The Ahrens,
and both did excellent service. The fire
was got under complete control in short
time, and the building saved in a damac ed
condition. Kunert Brothers were able to
save portion of their tools and stock, but
the loss on their mmovable machi merry such
as work benches, &C.. is considera BILE. The
building was insured in the Phoenix. of
Hartford, H. A. Wedesneyer, agent, for
$3.50, and it will take fully this amount, if
not more, to restore it. Kunert Brothers
had their stock. tools and machinery insur-
ed in the same company for $500, and
they compute their loss at about $1,000.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but prob
ably the result of accident.

In one of our F. F. VS. there is q son
who has been spen ling most Of his time
away from home the past few years, and
while away some enemy of the human race
taught him the barbarous practice of throw
ing open the windows of his sleeping room
at nights. We will add parenthetically that
one might as we'll sleep on the top of the
house. Well, the young man aforesaid re-
turned home not long since, and on re-
firing at night as usual with him he threw
the windows open, and went to sleep doubt
less dreaming that he was an Arctic ex-
plorer and had got about as near the North
west Passage as human being could with
ont freezing solid. About midnight the
mother awoke, shiverlng land, thinking tha'
the north wall of the house had fallen off,
began to explore. The currents soon told
her that the cold was coming from the d.
recton of her sons room. Entering she
took in the situation, which she proceeded
to remedy forthwith, by closing the win
dows. While she was performing this act
of humanity the young barbarian awoke,
and sang out "who's there!" "Your mother
my son, saving your life." A compromise
has been efec ted, we believe, and the
mother and son still occupy the same house

The Year Past.

The beginning of the new year finds Wa
tertown more than holding her own in ma
terial interests. True, we have made no
rapid strides in the way ofbusiness venture S
during the year just closed, out we believe
it can be SAID that we have felt our way
along with moderate pace and on a sure
foundation. Watertown has not been with
out feeling the depressions of the year, bat
we venture to assert that but few places of
the size Of this city have been as little ef-
fected with what is known as the hard
times. In buildings, and especially in the
line ofsubtantial dwelling houses, our city
has made good showing for 1877. We
have made progress in other improvements
to the CITY the past year, and the census
would show substantial increase in our
population. Still obstacles are encountered
to our growth and prosperity, which it
should be our aim to remove if possible, and
we trust the present year will find our con-
dition improved in this respect.
