The question of erecting new school
house, will agitate the taxpayers of Dist.
No. ., next Monday afternoon.
John Kratchokouquill has recently
built new dwelling and shop at Green
street. Johns patrons say he has hard
name, and ret they pronounce him per-
feet gentleman. What a strange contrast
there is between some men and the names
they bear. They should advocate
spelling reform.
Mr.. Thos. Hogan and Miss Mary Kane
were made one by the bonds OF rnatriulo-
ny, last week. Few persons enter into
welded life having brighter prospects
for the future. Mr.. Hogan is one OF
those young men who by integrity, per-
severance ard industry has accumulated
large share OF this worlds goods, which
will be powerful factor in contributing
to his future welfare. And now that he
has divested himself of his longworn.
fadea deshabille and donned matrimonial
uniform his happiness is consummated.
An effort is now being made to secure
semi weekly mail here. iii is secured
it viii supply want long felt, and will
probably in some way compensate for the
injustice done us by the negligence OF
some careless postmasters. Il frequent
ly takes the county papers q week or
more to reach US. They are al mailed
in good season so the fault does not rest
with the publishers. Nc, it can be at
tributed only to the gross negligence of
some government agent. Not only are
papers delayed but letters and valuable
mail matter, and we might cite case
which, If revealed at headquarters, would
result somewhat seriously to the negl-
/ gent one. If the seeds of civil service
reform were soWn in the P. O. depart
ment, would not some Of the old fossils
be thrown up to the political chemist for
analysis?
Another insane woman perambulates
the highways soliloquizing, and address
ing all she meets. It is the duty of the
authorities to look to her; but we believe
that our town has already its full quota
in the asylum. And we believe that
while letting insane people run is detri-
mental both to them and to the commu-
Nifty, it is far more conducive to their
happiness than crib in the county Jail,
that institution which is n discrcdit to the
county. If the county board possesses a
spark OF humanity it ought to procure
some better accommodation for those who
are afflicted with loss OF reason.
Now that the election is coming on the
greenbackers are beginning to make
themselves numerous. The fever is
spreading like wildfre and they begin to
loom up in all circles; not followers Of
Walter Shupe either, but strict initiation
lists of the Dilays school who have the
| doctrines SO firmly implanted in them
that not even the prospects of eternal
defeat can obliterate them. Their ardor
has become so intense that they will
scarcely exercise their suffrage8 on any
aspirants who are not Of their own type.
Did Col. May make any proselytes in
Manitowoc2 If SO then loom up you men
of soft money procliyities, call county
convention, nominate q county ticket,
your success or failure will not in the
least depend on whether you open up
with "bar'l'' or key. Place plank
in your platform denouncing the grain
buyers who once inhabited the magnif-
cent Chamber OF Commerce" as mon
opoly tending to reduce the farmers to
mere peasantry. Do this and be assured
you will receive the suffrages OF these
Missionaries.
Cooperstown's hoary- headed peda-
gogue is now about to retire from the
school-room, and refuses to receive any
further remuneration for his services.
He Will henceforth travel about a modern
Socrates, catechising young and old, re-
moving the preiudices Of the people
against education. When he expires he
will be pronounced by his posterity as
one Of the brightest orbs that ever con-
centrated his rays on the youth of Coop
orstown. Among his literary works viii
be treatise on photography and orthoe-
Ply; and of course his chirography is so
ornamental that Il fac smile of his manu-
scripts will be procured and cherished.
