Il JOUfitJ Dan.

The picnic of the public schools of
Watertown on last Friday afternoon,
July I'd, and the grand procession con-
nected with it, in which eight hundred
children, with faces radiant of hope
and Joy, marched through our streets
with music, banners and flags, preceded
by their superintendent and the school
board, was scene that will
long be remembered not only by the par
Elephants, but by all who witnessed the
imposing sight. That long line of the
rising generation of our city, accompan-
led by the custodians of their education,
was indeed an impressive and beautiful
picture, as it moved with martial tread to
Concordia Island, where bountiful
store of good and delicious things of life
was spread before the scholars, and the
inner man fully replenished. The child
rem had their games, frolics and amuse-
ments on the lovely grounds to their
hearts content, their teachers dong all in
their power to help fill up the full measure
of their pleasure and happiness. The
weather smiled upon the scene ofjoyous
tumult with its clear. skies and soft, balmy
air, a gem in the diadem of summer days,
and while the shades of evening were
falling the rusticators repaired to their
homes, feeling that they had indeed
passed the happiest day of their lives for
which they were largely indebted to the
thoughtfulness of the superintendent and
school board, the painstaking and at
tention of their teachers, and the kind
ness of their parents and guardians.

Int e7ference Case Ended.

We copy the following from July num-
Der of the American Bee Journal, pub
lished in Chicago, relative to the inter
ference case between Lewis & Parks and
James Forncrook, which will be no doubt
perused With interest by bee-keepers in
this vicinity:
WATERFOWL, Wis, June IA, 1880.
EDITOR BEE JOURNAL will you do
us the kindness to set us right before
your many readers We have advertised
to your readers that there is no patent on
the Lewis section. In your last issue
Mr.. James Forncrook claims to have
patent on said section, and holds us up
to your readers as swindlers in that we
have tried to mislead the public by say
ing there is no patent on the section.
Now we again state that there is no pat
ent on this section, and if you will do us
the Justice to write to the CORNERSTONE
of Patents you will officially ascertain
that no patent has ever been issued to
any one on said section.
LEWIS 81 PARKS.
AS the patent was allowed" but
not " issued" bebause of another inter-
ference" being instituted by Mr. L. j.
Dalzell, both statements can be reconcil-
ed. We regret that these gentlemen
should be so enthusiastic. 1t would be
much better to make plain statement OF
the facts rather than to dispute about
technicalities. See our answer to @. II.
Pierce.-ED.
WINoosKI, WIS, June 5, 1880.
On page l9o of The Bee Journal for
June, / notice that Jas. Forncrook claims
a patent on the one-piece section, and on
page 299, Lewis & Parks state that there
is no patent on it. Which shall we be-
Iieve of these contradictory statements?
I would like to know the facts in the
case. G. Fl. PIERCE.
1.-THE facts are these: Both of these
parties have applied for patent, and so
has Mr.. T. j. Dalzell, of Michigan. A
patent has been allowed to JAS. Form
crook & Co., after prolonged litigation
between the two parties at WATERFOWL,
Wis. Then came Mr.. DalzelPs claim,
and an interference" was instituted be-
tween him and JAS. Forncrook & Co., be-
fore the patent was issued. Now this
lease" will be "tried,' and as soon as it
is decided we shall give it in the Bee
Journal. The discrepancy in the ad-
yertisements complained of is simply this:
Jas. Forncrook & Co. say that the "pa-
tent has been aAomed," and Lewis &
Parks say that 'there is no patent on it. !"
1t is a dispute over technicalities-bu
both are absolutely correct.-ED.

PEOPLE WHO read The Chicago Times
and never saw Storey would be disap-
pointed in his appearance. Instead of a
vigorous, hale and hearty-looking man,
as one would suppose from the tone Of
his paper, he is feshy, white-haired,
rather shaky old gentleman, apparently
between go and 70 years of age. Snow
white whiskers, worn full and tolerably
long, heavy white eyebrows, from be-
meath which a pair of bright eyes send
nervous darting glances, large, portly,
well-clad figure, unsteady about the
shoulders and arms, and equity down
towards the feet, with a voice scarcely
above a hearty whisper-that is the APP
pearance of Storey Mrs. Storey is of
fine appearance, handsome figure, with
large, liquid-looking grey eyes, an ex-
pressionless face, as cold as marble and
about as white. She looks to be just
about half as old as her husband.

COUNTY NEWS.
FORT ATKINSON.

Mrs. F. Butler died Thursday morning
She has been i'll with consumption for

Chas. Copeland, of Jefferson, has sold
his clip of wool of 500 feeces, without
any sorting, to Cornish & Curtis, for 80
cents per pound.

TO the city. Over the whole is hall 50x
so supported by truss roof.
@e=<Mrs. Eva Dygert, of Oakland, mother
of Mrs III. V. HELEN, died Tuesday night
of congestive chills. Mrs. Dygert was 90
wears of age, and was, until within a year
a woman of remarkably well preserved
abilities.

wisely concluded that Fort Atkinson was
the educational center of this portion of
the State and the rest of Jefferson coun-
tv. has rented house in this city and
will remove here shortly.
The GAINESVILLE Recorder, states that a
movement is On foot to put lock in the

Joseph May is boy of pluck and ener-
gv. Last Thursday evening he climbed
the liberty pole and at the height of 20
feet rove a new set of halliards
through the pulley block, with as cool a
head and steady hand as if he had been
born on the main-truck OF man-of-war
Union.

The principal observance Of the Fourth
here was on Monday, although on Sun
day there was some attempt made at cele-
brating in the way of picnics and such like
enioyments which, however, were badly
interfered with by the heavy rain that
fell nearly all the afternoon. All efforts
at celebrating were of an informal charac-
ter and done after the manner Of "every
man for HIMSELF unless we except the
parade Monday forenoon of Fire Depart
ment headed by the WATERFOWL Band
and drum corps. The display was credit
able and had tendency to arouse feel
ing appropriate to the day. OF course
there was no lack of patriotic ardor
among the Watertown juveniles as evinc-
ed by the large number Of fire crackers, pis-
toll caps and squibs they sacrificed during
the day and night on the altar of their
country. The Good Templars picnic in
the afternoon at the residence and grounds
of w c. Chappell on Western Avenue,
was largely attended and the time was
passed pleasantly by each and every one
At Concordia Island the WATERFOWL Band
celebrated with their friends and upon
the grassy sward Of that delightful spot
enjoyed themselves until evening. The
mastering in of the WATERFOWL Rifles by
Colonel G. w Burchard was one of the
events of the day, the time seeming par
ticularly appropriate for such work. The
reception the Phoenix Fire Company
rendered their friends Of all sexes, ages
and conditions at their beautiful rooms
on West Water street was well attend
ed, and none went away regretting that
they had called on the boys,
who are as hospitable a crew
as can be found during a trip around
the world in eighty days" A grand ball
at Music Hall closed the festivities of the
day, unless, indeed, we except the burn
ing of the mill which had the effect of
giving the grand right and left to the
dance and brought things generally con-
nected with our GLORIOUS Fourth to an
abrupt conclusion.

IT WAS A matter of much regret that
the Musical Soiree given at Turner Hall
last Friday evening by Miss F. Densmore,
:soprano; Carl Troll, violinist; HI. N.
Hutchins, cornetist, and w. E. Louis
pianist and director, received such a
small attendance, for the entertainment
was really one of the most meritorious
and enjoyable of its kind ever presented
to our citizens. Miss Densmore is pos
sessed of finely cultivated voice which
it is a pleasure to listen to. Mr.. Troll
has almost magic power with the bow,
and his violin speaks out in the softest,
purest tones. Of Mr.. Hutchips and his
cornet we need not speak, as his reputa-
ton is SO well established, but it does
seem that his playing grows sweeter and
sweeter. Mr.. Louis is pianist of splen-
did touch and excellent execution. The
troupe intend visiting WATERFOWL again
during the present month, when it is
hoped they will be greeted with house
worthy of their talents as musicians.

st. Be,mord's School Exhibition.

Last Thursday evening the annual eX-
hibition Of St. Demands Parish School
was held at Turner Hall and called out
an OVERLOOKING house, the large audito-
rum being completely crowded with the
parents of the children and friends of the
school. This school is under the super
vision of the Sisters Of the Holy Cross,
and not being academic in its character,
being mostly composed of young pupils,
it was only reasonable that too much
should not be expected from the scholars;
but programme, occupying four hours
in its delivery, composing dramas, speak
ing and music, was rendered in manner
that happily disappointed not few and
called forth the most evident marks of
approval from all present. All the par
Elephants displayed perfect familiarity in
their several roles, and it was apparent
had received careful training. "Colum-
bus, and "Marie Antoinette, or the
Reign of Terror" were the dramas pre-
scented. The former in its dramatis per-
some had all male characters and the lat
ter all female. The tableaux in both plays
were among the most beautiful scenic
displays ever seen on the stage here, and
reflected great credit upon the manage
ment. The WATERFOWL Sentinels, May
Pole Dance, Katie Did, and Gem from
Mother Goose's Melodies, in which the
little folks of the school figured conspicu-
ously, caused much merriment, and re-
ceived hearty plaudits. Taken as a
whole the exhibition was as grand a sue
cess as anything of the kind ever given
in this city, and called attention to the
fact that St. Bernard's congregation may
well feel proud of their school. During
the evening Rev. Father Cooney took oc-
casion to address the audience in. a man
ner appropriate to the occasion.

The On OPS.

The winter wheat harvest has COM
menced in this section, being somewhat
earlier than the average of seasons. The
yield will be large one, with a fine
plump berry and an increased acreage
over any former year. The rye harvest
is quite advanced and the crop has done
well both in quality and yield. Barley
is nearly fit for the reaper and gives good
promise. Spring wheat never looked
much better at its present stage than it
does now, and with favorable weather
from this on must produce finely. Some
pieces of corn on low wet land are not
doing well, but on the whole the corn
crop is in fine condition. Haying is re-
tarded some by wet weather but has suf-
fered no serious damage as yet.

THE COSMOPOLITAN QUALITY of the
magazines Of the present day is curious
and noteworthy fact. IN Scribner for
July, for instance, we notice a paper on
the Norwegian poet and dramatist,
Bjorstjerne Bjornson" by his former coun-
tryman, Hjalmar Hjorth Boyeson; an ar
ticle descriptive of an excursion to "The
Heart of the California Alps by John
Muir; 'To Coney Island" by William
Ii. Bishop; Russia is treated Of in Eu-
gene Schuyler's "Peter the Great; the
scene of "The Grandissimes" is laid in
Louisiana; General Mcclellan gives an
account of his trip to Sicily; George Par
sons Lathrop, in "The Sorcery of Mad
joon," writes of the curse of China-opi-
UNI eating; the negro element is touched
on Miss Hopkinss amusing little sketch;
George NJ. Grant does full justice to
Canada, Ernest Ingersoll writes inter
estingly of Denver, Colorado, and Charles
f. Thwing gives iii account of the ex-
perience of the Japanese and Chinese
Students in America" while Mrs Laura
Winthrop Johnson travels all over Eu-
rope in LA Sunnambula"
