An Unnecessary Notoriety.

Fond du Lac Special to Milwaukee Sentinel.
Gen. John Mcdonald appeared in County
Judge Perkins court this morning in the
case of the State of Wisconsin against him
self, for an assault with intent to do bodily
harm upon Mr.. w. G. Williams. the Milwau-
kee lawyer who is retained in the celebrated
divorce suit of Mcdonald vs.. Mcdonald.
The general waived examination, and by
consent of his own counsel, Col. w. w. D.
Turner, Of Ripon, was held to bail to the
circuit court in 81 900. Col. C. K. Pier.
vice president of the Fond do Lac Savings
bank, became joint surety with the defend
ant. In the afternoon at o'clock the
general appeared before Police JUS
tice Eastman to answer to a demand for a
peace warrant by Mr.. Williams, who in his
complaint stated that he considered his life
in danger. Col. ellison, district attorney, in
behalf of the State, moved a discontinuance
Of the action, stating in open court that Mr..
Williams was able to protect himself. The
motion was granted and Gen. Mcdonald and
Jere Doobs went to Oshkosh to witness the
walking match. Mrs. La Mothe, the ssSylph'',
your correspondent is informed by her at
torney, Col. Turner, of Ripon, has instruct
ed him to bring suit in her name against
every newspaper in Wisconsin, and some
outside of the State which had mentioned
her name in any connection which reflects
on her personal character. I understood
the colonel, who has been here to-day, to
say that he was already drawing up
papers in the cases. Among other news
papers who aim to give the news but who are
to be prosecuted for it, are the Milwaukee
Sentinel, the Fond du Lac Commonwealth,
the Fond du Lac Journal, and the Ripon
| Commonwealth. The colonel informs me
that if all these newspapers which have eve,
had anything to say about Mrs. LaMothe
will take it back and swear they never said
it she will discontinue. Otherwise there will
be millions III it for her if she collects from
$40, 900 to $5O, 900 each from them, graded
according to their financial capacity.
In the divorce suit the colonel stands
aloof as q sort of third party (greenback fol
instance), representing Mrs. LaMothe'f
greenbacks. But am assured on persona
authority that if it had not been for the in
termeddling of third parties, not counting
LaMothe as one, Gen. Mcdonald and hi
wife would have never experienced thu
trouble which has brought them 50 unfor
tunately into domestic notoriety, and would
be living together as man and wife to-day.

John Chinaman can be commended for

Rome. He wrtes:-"The indignation expressed at
the Ministry OF Public Instruction was as nothing

press couple Of days later. 1t is. in fact. the out

for Irish wool continued in spite of the acts of the

The reporter asked IL any complaint had been
made in regard to religious teaching other than the

the recital OF the Lords Prayer and Mr.. Foster ro-
piled that In several instances the teachers had op-

their religious opinions into the ordinary lessons

A Mean Trick.

This morning it was reported through
the streets that man had attempted to
drown himself last evening at the
Fourth street wharf. The rumor we are
glad to state was incorrect. A man was
seen last evening running down to-
the wharf but he was after boy the
particulars of which are as follows:
young man who resides at Fifth
and Spruce streets has, with his fami-
Iy, been constantly annoyed by a crowd
of boys who nightly assemble around
his house. Last evening Mrs. Price
had the table IN the kitchen placed
near the window and on the table was
a lot Of bread, cakes, &c. One of the
window panes being broken one of the
boys spit through the broken pane Oh
to the bread. Mr.. Price who happened
to be in the kitchen at the time ran out
of the house without his hat, coat, vest
or shoes on and ran after the boy and
in doing so at least fifty boys joined in
the run. Unfortunately he did not
catch the boy, and on returning to his
"castle" several people said he attempt
ed to drown himself. This of course
was not the case, though had he caught
the boy he would no doubt have re,
crived severe thrashing which he
most Justly deserved.
