OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.

I, the undersigned. have recently read
an article in the Nord- Westen on seed
ers, and desire herewith to give the read
ers Of the same some particulars about
it. purchased Monitor seeder and
used the same at my farm, but had some
unpleasant experiences with it the first
year, as the cultivators in heavy soil,
such as there was on my farm, did not
go deep enough. 1 subsequently dis
covered that the new Van Brunt d Bar
Der seeder worked very well, and to sat-
isfy myself, went to friend living not
far from Clark Mills who owned Van
Brunt & Barber seeder, and became con-
WINGED that that machine did the best
work both in sowing and cuitivating, and
went to Seidl & Bleser, in Manitowoc,
and traded my Monitor for Van Brunt
& Barber.
Farmers, satisfy yourselves before you
purchase seeder. l can recommend the
new Van Brunt & Barber with clear
conscience as being the best l have yet
seen in use. both as regards excellence
of construction and practicabihty. If

ST. PATRICK'S DAY.

One week from next Wednesday is St.
Patrick's Day. The people Of New Or
leans received great deal of deserved
censure for having celebrated the Mardi
Gras the very year when they suffered
from the ravages of yellow fever and
were aided by the charity of those who
escaped affection. 1t would be in bad
taste for the Irishmen of this country to
celebrate holiday by pomp and expend-
iture of money, when their countrymen
in the land of their birth are suffering
for the necessaries of life. The "drown-
ing of the shamrock" should certainly
be dispensed with, and the celebration
should be limited to religious ceremon-
les. The patron saint of Ireland will
certainly be more highly honored by de-
voting to charity the money which is u.s.
ually expended in demonstrations. There
is certain amount of pleasure in cele-
bration which it is at times difficult to
forego. But reioicings during period
of sorrow are ill-timed and disgraceful.
A mans memory is best honored by acts
which show humanity and not by that
boisterous mirth which throws off re-
straint. There is something humiliating
in having ones people or country appear
in the character of mendicants and this
feeling of itself should check any ten
dency to hilarious feelings. The death
of friend prevents a man from attend
ing places of amusements, until sorrow
begins to yield to time. When a mans
country is suffering his sympathy should
be stronger than his desire for enjoy
ment. Let the day then be celebrated
in such way as to avoid any imputa-
tons of want of feeling or good sense.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

On Tuesday Meme farmer, Christ.
Adolph, was seriously injured by his
team running away. He had driven up
to John Schuette's mill with a load of
grain. AS he was about to tie his team
the steam hammer of the axe factory be-
gan to work and frightened the team.
Adolph attempted to hold them but was
thrown to the ground. The wagon pass
ed over him and broke one of bis legs
badly, and fraoturing the bone SO that
pieces of 1t were taken out. The flesh
was torn away below the break SO as.to
expose the bone. The Injured man was
removed to Nollau's hotel. He showed
remarkable nerve, never wincing nor
uttering groan while the wound was
being dressed and asking no aid in plac-
ing himself on the stretcher. DIR. Coax
ley thinks amputation viii not be nee
essary.

G. Sandsee is expected home from his
European trip this week.
P. Sedmihradsky, of Oconto, visited
his parents at this place last week.
Several of the teachers of this locality
contemplate attending an educational
gathering at Carlton paxt Saturday.
We are pleased to note The recovery of
Mrs. c. Washer, from severe and some
what protracted illness.
r. d. Smart, of Manitcwoc, was
around looking after the wards OF his
Office last week.
Machine agents, agricultural and not
political, are plying their vocation with
vigor at present.
G. F. Viebahn, County Supt., is to
lecture at this place some time before
long.
Spelling schools, which for some time
have been unpopular, again begin to
flourish. Two were held on the same
evening in this vicinity recently.
August Lehrmann's record for neat
ness and despatch on anything in the
line of house.building is something that
is hard to beat, nor is there much room
for rivaling him in the work of increas-
ing the labors of the census taker. All
parties doing well.
Louis Field, of Two Rivers, has COM
pleted negotiations for the sale of his
farm in that town and has purchased
eighty acres of land of J. Peleschek, in
this town. He, will take possession
forthwith
Our enterprising blacksmith, Mr..
Luebke, is fast accommodating a fortune
from the proceeds of his shop. His cup
of bliss would now be well nigh full if
he could secure an acceptable boarding
mistress.
Miles Boyce' is one of those fellows
who delight in animated and interesting
conversation, but he involuntarily shud.
ders and grows morose when attacked
with question since his encounter with
an irrepressible querist lately. Miles
swears that inside of an hour he asked a
hundred questions if he asked single
one, and says that dose of Hamburg
drops is nothing to it.
On Friday evening last the house,
barn, granary and other buildings of
Fred Warner, of the town of Carlton
were totally destroyed by fire with all
their contents. AS furious gale was
blowing at the time it was impossible to
save anything but the stock. Other
buildings removed a considerable dis
lance from the fire repeatedly ignited
from the flying sparks and were only
saved by the most strenuous exertions.
The loss was only partially covered by
insurance. The origin of the fire is IN
known.

PROF. CUMNOCK.

We have almost exhausted the Ian
guage of commentator in speaking of
Prof. Cumnock. A man of fine personal
appearance, animated in expression,
graceful in gesture, he electrifies his au.
dience with magnificent outbursts of
passion. So sudden are the transitions
IL voice and facial expression from the
abiect humility and depression of a spirit
broken by sorrow and degraded by
abuse, to the virtuous indignation which
cannot witness oppression unmosed, that
the reader seems to be gifted with dual
ity. There is thrill of ecstasy which
shoots through the frame at hearing q
manly voice give due expression to the
feelings Of an indignant heart. Prof.
Cumnock touches the chords which con-
troll sympathy and the suifused eye gives
proof that the emotions are stirred; his
voice rings out in the full round tones of
remonstrance or Remuneration and the
clenched hands of the audience attest the
truthfulness of his delineation. The
laughter which greets his humorous pass
ages shows that he has the key to the
seat of the disabilities.
His selections last night were not as
good as those given on former visits.
There were something wrong in Squeers.
Instead of the portrayal of the brutal
schoolmaster, devoid of all wit and knowl-
edge, there was something of the coarse
humor and immoral hardihood Of Jack
Falstaff. The audience laughed at times
when anger should have prodominated
and checked such tendencies. The harsh,
selfish nature of the Yorkshire school
master should elicit nothing but the
deepest loathing and resentment, but rs
depicted, there were riffs in that dark
cloud through which the sunshine of
humor cleaned.

THE EXPENSE OF JUSTICES
COURTS.

Justices of the peace and constables
are as great an evil as annual sessions.
There are so many justices SO many con-
stables all seeking to make living out
of their official position, that litigation is
stirred up and people induced to go to
law who If left to their own counsel
would settle their little difficulties with
out cost. When the state is party and
the county has to bear the expense there
are ten times more fohos of testimony
taken than is necessary to just decision
of the case. The committee of the county
board on sheriffs and justices claims
have more trouble with bills of justices
arising out of little petty dissensions be-
tween neighbors, than with any other
matter that comes before the board. A
great outcry is made because Of some
little addition of expense to the county
and which is brought before the notice
of the people. But the people have no
idea of the amount annually paid by the
county for Justice. We have not the
figures at hand but purpose in the near
future showing the amount which the
county pays for suits in which the state
is a party. The amount of testimony
taken is wonderful. The number of
witnesses is no less so; and the fees cap
the climax.
1t is but justice to the county board to
say that all such bills are closely scanned,
but they are supported by color of law.
Constables and justices are always on the
qui vive for cases and every person who
fancies that he is injured by another is
induced to 60 to law.
The people Of Manitowoc are not law
less but Judging from the amount of
money paid out of the county treasury
for dispensing (with) justice. one would
suppose it to be place on the outskirts
of civilization. Let the number of con-
stables and justices be diminished and
justice viii not suffer and expenses will
be materially reduced.
We have been urged by number of
citizens to yentiiate a case lately brought
before city justice under statute max
ing it punishable ofense to use abusive
language. The case was on trial ten days
testimony being taken during all that
time and the case being finally dismissed
because the pleadings were faulty, the
cost, of course, being paid by the coun-
ty. The question arises, why was not
the case dismissed before the testimony
was taken? The testimony had no bear
ing on the form of the complaint.
We do not choose to single out this
case for animadversion, because it is not
solitary one in the history of the coun-
ty. There are many equally bad, and it
is these which add SO to the expenses of
the county.
The people themselves are to blame to
a great extent for having such things
allowed. Any attempt at exposure sub
jects the person making the attempt to
the most virulent abuse and the dear
people in whose interest the criticism is
made. are among the first to cry "crucify
him." Never yet has man attempted
to expose wrong in this county who has
not suffered by it.

MANrrowoc RAPIDS, Wis, May l., 1879.
This is to certify that l bought Van
Brunt and Barber, and Monitor Seeder
on trial, with the understanding that I
would keep the seeder that did. the best
work in cUltivating and sowing all kinds
of grain, and theaefor set a day for trial,
on which were appointed three disinter-
ested men who should decide which seed
er was the best. The result was that all
spectators, as well as the judges, decided
in favor of the Monitor, and therefor
advise every farmer wanting a seeder, to
buy no other than the Monitor.
Yours respectfully,

THERE is not paper in the state
which did not have contract made a
year in advance, before the rise in paper,
which Is at present doing more than pay
ing expenses, aud many are not doing
that. The paper makers are protected
by congress and fearing no competition
from outside a combination is formed
and the price of paper is run up until it
Is an outrage. This is the beauty of a
protective tariff. One part of the COM
munity is robbed that another may be
enriched. Publishers of papers cannot
raise the subscription price and they are
at the mercy of the sharks whom the
government in its wisdom protects.

The rest of the exercises will consist of
singing, defamation and reading and
also the reading of the Cato Free Press.
This is the name of the new journal pub
lished by the club and is rival of Peck's
Sun in point of humor.
The last teachers meeting at this place
was failure as far as the object of those
meetings are concerned. The whole time
was mostly taken up in kind of 6. par
iamentary wrangle; the point at issue
was as to where the next meeting should
be held; about twenty-five motions were
put, naming as many different places but
all were lost; at last member of the
committe on programme boldly an
nounced, that the teachers present had
no power Id the matter, that it belonged
to the committee on programme. The
Chair sustained this ruling, and the
meeting adjourned perfectly aghast at
this bold assumption of power and parti-
san ruling.
Thereswill be some exciting work done
in this town this spring at the primary
elections. The fight on the Office of treas
urer will be the most intense. The issues
are mystery as yet, none can be made how
ever on the ground of economy as there
never was such low rate for the collection
oftaxes as there is this year, only two per
cent being allowed. There will be more
than the usual number of candidates for
the other offices. On the whole the con-
test will be warm one. as everybody in
the race is determined to score victory.
