opinion has been given by the Attorney

for notes from the United States Treas

the subject. the Secretary of the Treas
ury and Attorney General agreed, that
this could not be done until the first
day of January next. The Treasury
Department has an opinion. however,
of paying gold on Government account
at any time. Smaller gold coins are
likely to get into circulation in this
manner. The coin balance still shows
steady increase. and at the close of

MRS. DAINTY.

THE Reading of Mrs. Dainty, last
night attracted a respectable audience
which was quite agreeably entertained in
the presentation of the programme.
Mrs. Dainty's articulation is excellent,
and her enumeration so clear as to COM
pensate in part for the lack of flexibility
in her voice. In the expression of pathos
she appears to rely more on the force of
sobs and on a voice charged with sounds
of weeping, than on the ''eloquence of
woe" deprived of its weakness. A sort
of plaintiye utterance has become a man
nerlsm with her which is INDUCED in
when 1t is inappropriate. Perhaps If is
the fault of her sex, that she freights her
words with tears instead of feeling.
This failing opens the widest path to
criticism of her reading.
Mrs. Dainty reads rather than dcclaims
if dramatic delivery be made the line of
distinction. Her selections furnish but
little opportunity for animation. Her
voice is clear and musical, and so well
trained in distinctness of articulation
that her words are understood wherever
her voice is heard. Her rendition of hu-
morous passages is much superior to her
rendition of serious or pathetic ones.
The last selection, he saved st.
Michael's"-was re-eminently the best,
and was given with such evident appreci-
alton of the feelings to be portrayed that
1t delighted the audience.
A womal's voice is much inferior to a
mans in evolutionary powers. Mrs.
Dainty came SO highly recommended
that she ''oped the eye of expectation. :"
Her readings scarcely justified the exalt-
cd opinion which preceded her coming,
though every attendant was pleased with
the entertainment.

CATO.
Sept. 18th. 1878.

Sept. 18th, 1878.
Looking around for items amid the
dull monotony of country life is good
deal like looking for hens teeth-rather
hard to find. Nevertheless, things will
occasionally happen, that would be in
teresting to the general reader.
The first we shall note is the existence
of an alarming disease among the cattle
of this vicinity, commonly called 'dry
murrain." Mr.. Halverson has lost three
valuable animals within few days, and
more of his stock is in critical condition.
The disease, We believe, Is not con-
tagious.
Great preparations are being made to
have the coming county fair a grand
success. The gentlemen having charge
of the arrangements are fully competent
TO carry out every detail, and thus make
the fair the best ever held in the county.
Mrs. Smith, one of the most accomplish
ed cooks in the county, is making extern
sive preparations to supply the needs of
the hungry. She well deserves & liberal
patronage.
Newspapers are wont to boast of ''the
Oldest person in the state" living in their
immediate neighborhood. We feel safe to
say that Cato can furnish the Oldest
couple in the state, Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Conner, aged respectively 80 and
81 years. They distinctly remember the
rebellion of '9S in Ireland, and were eye
witness to many of the fearful scenes of
butchery and outrage committed by the
British soldiers. The old gentleman is
quite feeble, but the old lady is as Wig
orous as most ladies of 60. She does her
own spinning, knitting and general house
work, and walks two miles to church on
Sunday.
The writer is informed that an aggra-
waited form of Typhoid fever exists in the
vicinity of Silver Lake, three persons
have already died and others are in n
critical condition. Quite panic is ere
ated in the afflicted neighborhood.
One of the curiosities of the season, is
potato or rather collection of potatoes,
grown on the farm of Mr.. Peter Conner,
eight large early rose potatoes all attach
ed to and projecting at right angles from
one large potatoe, the whole weighing
about y ID.
Mr.. James Mcbride, of New York, is
here visiting friends whom he has not
seen III forty years. He is highly pleased
with the appearance of our Badger state.
He reports crops in New York as excel
lent
Mr.. john Clark, proprietor of the
Park House, is about to leave his old
stand for Frazer, Iowa. Johns many
friends will regret this, as his amiability
has endeared him to all.

The firm of Plumb and Nelson has de-

limited for their business, and in a few
weeks will remove to the Huebner build

Here they will have one of the finest
grocery stores in the Northwest. The

them to display their goods. 1t is sell

MANITowoC may not pride itself par
ticularly, for being taken for Milwaukee,
But our capacious harbor and general
appearance OF activity and thrift, led n
lake captain from the New Dominion to
fancy that here was located the metropolis
of the state. Last week the schooner
Thos. G. Street signaled for tug.
The Willie Richards steamed up to
where it thought it could do the most
good The fierce man of the schooner
inquired why there were not more tugs
in the neighborhood, and directed Prince
Hal of the tug to tow him up to the Ma
rine elevator. Captain Richards heart
leaped st the prospect of Is miles tow.
There was some language used on board
that craft that wasn't Just orthodox,
when it was found that Mantle voc was
not the first city in the state.
