AS BEFORE mentioned i'll the PILOT, a
meeting is called at the Windiate House
for the purpose of organizing an cold
Settlers Club" The meeting will be
held on the 10Th inst. The value of an
institution Of this kind cannot be overes-
timated. The early events in the history
of the county can be garnered through
this organization and preserved. On a
late occasion we found it extremely diff
cult to obtain any facts relating to the
history of our county. A visit to the
state library at Madison, showed us that
the pioneers of this county have been
derehct in making q matter of record,
incidents in which every person in the
county must feel interested. RecolIec-
tons of early settlers of almost every
other county can be found there, data in
valuable to any person who might con-
template writing history of any of these
counties. Let the old settlers make the
proposed organization a success and they
will DO work for which the people of
the county will feel grateful

RELIGIOUS. Rev. W. H. Whitelaw
late pastor of the Second Baptist Church
of Oshkosh, having found this locality
favorable to his health; has fitted up the
upper front room Of the building just
east Of Robinsou's drug store, in which
regular religious services will be held on
the sabbath, both morning and evening
at the usual hours. A gospel temper
ance service will be conducted in the
same room at 3 o'clock p. NJ, each Sab
bath. The room is neatly furnished, a
good choir has been gathered, and a fine
Smith American $500 organ, The private
property of Mr.. Whitelaw, furnishes

MONDAY last WAS the first day of the

and spoke in terms of commentator of
the efficient manner IN which the duties
of the office we've discharged during the
last two years. Any person who con-
graduates these officers for the next two
weeks, will have to say "pr08if' at Ed.
Shindler's or Fred Beckers. They will
not take refusal, 50 you had better
yield gracefully. Such has been our ex-
perience and it has been delightful and
inexpensive mode of ''tapering off, the
delights of the holidays.

THE trial of the ''pitchfork case re-
suited in another disagreement Of the
jury. The county would have acted
wisely if it purchased that pitchfork in
the early stage Of the proceeding and
presented it to some poor and deserving
man who wouldn't prod under the most
favorable circumstances. kirwan spent
days in examining that pitchfork and
now he will discourse on no other sub
ject. Treat even, grows eloquent when
ever there is the slightest allusion made
to this implement of husbandry. Hard
ware dealers have run up the price Of
pitchforks SO that they are luxury in
which the poor granger can no longer
indulge The legislature should levy q
tax on those instruments of warfare and
Grant should write a treatise on the
pitchfork and recommend its adoption
instead of the ancient bayonet.
