A very interesting representation of the
operetta of "Little Red Riding Hood was
given at VIM on Tuesday of last week. The
whole had been arranged and conducted un-
der the auspices of VIM. F. Pember So great
was the effect of some of the scenes, especially
the opening one with its invitatory chorus,
that the large audience (Which packed the
town hall to overfownig) insisted upon rep
etition. A considerable sum of money was re-
allied, enough and more than enough to de-
fray the cost of erecting the bell which has
been presented to the church by Henry Poor
Esq. 1t is proposed to give the play over
again and there is little doubt that there will
be another crowded house and another hand

NEWTON.
February. 9th. ISS

February, 9th, 1880.
The past week has been decidedly
wintery and the going has been a cross
between wagoning and sleighing. The
latter was comparatively good in the
woods and considerable business has been
done in hauling logs, cordwood, and oak
timber to the city of Manitowoc, but as
the winter solstice has now passed and
the sun having reached its greatest south
ern declination, begins to turn towards
us and heralds the approach of balmy
spring, the former will soon be the only
thing on the programme.
At present the festivals of ''Prince
Carnival" are celebrated with merriment
and rivalry in our town. There are many
who find great pleasure in patronizing
these entertainments. Masquerade par
ties are now in order of the day and they
cause general delight. At one of these
parties it happened that a young man
made very ludicrous mistake in asking
his "intended'' if he might escort her
home. The reply was given in a low
voice and was a very sickening one to the
inquirer, for the said: Don't be fooled,
Charles, l know you by that large wart
ON your neck" Both, of course were
mistaken.
Mr.. s. Mann, who has been carrying
on an extensive business in Northern for
many years, yielded voluntarily to his
rival, Mr.. J. Nautilus, and ceded to him
all his rights to Northern for greenbacks.
Mr.. Mann intends to move to the Cream
City of our State; namely, to Milwaukee.
Mr.. j. Nautilus is an energetic business
man and will undoubtedly, sooner or
later, be the sole proprietor of whole
Northern.
Judging from the reports of teachers,
the schools are in very prosperous con-
dition. The attendance is larger than
ever before. This is, perhaps, not owing
to the great intelligence of teachers alone;
but it seems to me as if the act to secure
to children the benefit of an elementary
education has something to do with it.
May that be as it will, if the children
only derive the benefit of ia good edu-
cation-then we are satisfied.
Politics, as early as this, are beginning
to revive and crawl about somewhat like
sneaking thieves. There seems to be a
great number of patriots that are very
| anxiously longing to be inaugurated into
Office and thus be enabled to sacrifice
their interest for the benefit of the town
May the hearts of these early solicitors
not be sadly depressed by a final disap-
pointment.

The Manitowoc Tribune did us an in
justice last week in emitting portion of
our article in relation to the suffering of
negroes in Kansas. We call that very
selfish charity which would refuse to do
aught to alleviate distress except that of
one nationality. Negroes when suffering
for the necessaries of life are fully as
entitled to relief as any other class of
people in the world. No person deserv-
ing the name of man should make any
discrimination in matter of this kind.
But such journals as the Inter Ocean,
which abetted the scheme of inducing ne.
groes to migrate from the south, so as to
reduce the representation of those states
and to give color to the oft repeated
charge of the abuse of negroes by the
people of that section, deserve the sever
est censure. This was the ground we
took two weeks ago, as we are satisfied a
re-perusal of the article will convince the
Tribune,

THE n. Y. Herald Famine Fund is
growing to tremendous proportions.
That paper headed the list with the lib
eral sum 800, 900. and sent blanks around
through New York and other large cities
thus efjecting an organization for raising
money. The receipts of the Herald
are wonderful for their> magnitude.
Many persons have subscribed as high
rs thousand dollars each and the SUBJ
scriptions range from that sum down to
% cents. Other papers have followed
the example of the Herald, heading re-
lief lists with large sums. Dion Bouci-
cault, the Irish dramatist, has suggested
that all the theaters of the United States
give entertainments on st. Patrick's
Day, and that the proceeds be sent to
ireland. He also offers to be one of ten
men who will send 500 every Saturday
TO Ireland, thus making q weekly con-
tribution of 81 600 per week.

TIE election of member OF parlia
ment from Liverpool was looked upon as
q test As to whether the liberals or the
tories should prevail in the general elect
ions which are not far of. Both parties
worked hard and the result is an over
whelming victory for Beaconsfeld's par
ty. 1t was thought that the late wars in
which England was joined, which drew
from the revenues OF the country and
brought but little honor and no profit
would make the tory party Questionable
to the people. But such seems not to
be the case. The Beaconsfeld govern
ment seems destined to be Supported
notwithstanding the efforts of the hber-
MS and home rulers.

Considerable sickness prevails in this
locality at present among the juveniles.
Our thanks are due to Hon. Fred.
Pfunder for valuable documents receiv-
ed.
Fl. E. BONN of Two Rivers sported a
fast horse on our streets yesterday.
Two rival dance houses of Tischville
furnish the people of that locality with
the occasion to "trip" this evening.
Neck-yokes and the severity of the
weather make it perilous undertaking
to attempt to escort fair one of this
locality, to the uninitiated.
We are pleased to notice that Frank
Siml is again able to be around after
having been laid up for about two weeks
with a lame foot, the result of bringing
his broad-ax into too close proximity
with that member.
Peter Carrigan, a retired pedagogue Of
Franklin, made our town treasurer a
business call one day last week. By wise
frugality and judicious investment Mr.
Carrigan has become enabled to divest
himself of the distressing cares of the
teacher for the less responsible ones of
the land speculator.
All of the brick and the greater part of
the lumber designed for the erection of
the new school house are already on the
site. Two Greeks will lay claim to the
neatest and best furnished country
school house in the county, when it is
completed.
Our merchants are buying a considera-
bic stock of bark, ties, cord wood and
other products of the forest while the
sleighing lasts. A continued rivalry
seems to exist between the company here
and the Wis. Leather Co. of Two Rivers
in the purchase of bark, which must be
very satisfactory to the vendor of that
| article.
A lad about ten years of age of the
town of Carlton got himself within an
inch of eternity one day last week by
the ignition of something over half g
pound of powder which he was carelessly
handling near a heated stove. The
stove was shattered to atoms and the
windows of the house were broken by
the shock. Prompt attention only saved
the house from being consumed. The
boy, however, succeeded in coming of
second best with the loss of nearly all OF
his hair and the better part of his beauty
and is on fair way to recover.
Slips of paper with nasty pictures an6
nastier verses on, bearing the name Of
valentines, are again circulating through

dastardly manner of giving vent to per

of anyEbut the sender. If we had al
enemy bigger than ourself, we should
dare him out on the field of honor, ant
then run if he accepted, before we would
send him q valentine.
We regret to chronicle the death of the
estimable young wife of John Raymarl
of this town which took place on Satur
day last. She had been with us but
short time, but the numerous friends
which a lingering illness called to hel
bedside testify to her amiability and
charitable disposition. Her funeral tool
