For the Relief of ireland.

A meeting of our citizens will be held
at Music Hall, Friday evening, February
9th, to take measures towards the raising
of means to relieve the urgent demands
of the suffering Irish people. Dire dis
tress prevails throughout the length and
breadth of Ireland at the present time the
result of failure in the products of the
soil as we'll as the enforcement of an OPP.
pressive system of landlordism regarded
by the civilized world as a disgrace to the
progress of the age. In the midst of plen-
ty and our overlooking gamers let us not
turn our backs on the appeals for help
that reach us from the inhabitants of the
Green Isle, people in whom the United
States has ever found true friends and
supporters. We believe this distress call
will meet with liberal responses from the
citizens of Watertown and vicinity and
to this end we will expect to see full
meeting at Music Hall Friday evening.

A COMMITTEE from the legislature will
doubtless be soon appointed to decide
upon the location of the new deaf and
dumb asylum in place of the one recently
destroyed by fire at Delavan. A number
of cities and towns are pressing their
claims for it, and Watertown, having adj
vantages superior to many of them, should
not be remiss about presenting the in
ducements she has to offer as most suit
able point for the location OF the instltu-
ton. Meanwhile our citizens should
unite as some plan of action and be pre-
pared to set forth the best inducements at
our command for the erection of the asy-
lum here.

Tho Colossal RrOnze Stat11e IF Victory

The Colossal Bronze Statue Of Victory
which stands in the Park, at Lowell, be-
fore the tomb of the first soldiers that fell
in the revolution, is lasting and beauti-
full tribute of art. 1t is one of the first
objects sought by strangers visiting our
sister city, which indeed many visit, pur
posely to see this elegant object of high
art. 1t was obtained from the King of
Bavaria by DIR. J. G. Aver, to whom His
Majesty was especially gracious in &C
acknowledgements of what his remedies are
reputed to have done for the suffering
sick. 1t was donated by the Doctor to
the City of Lowell as a permanent and
speaking emblem of the victories both of
Science and Arms.-Hagerstoson (Nd.)

Uncle Toms Cabin.

Uncle Toms Cabin was played to
full house on Monday evening by the
Jay Rial Troupe. Of the performance
itself we have nothing to say. We want
to suggest, however, that the manage
ment has much to learn of what is due to
an audience, or at least that portion of it
which provides itself with tickets for re-
served seats. The ushers Monday even
ing did not understand their business, or
if they did were sadly unmindful of its
performance. They took no pains to seat
persons in the places they had paid for
in advance, but through inexcusable care
lessness and remissness let every one
shirk for himself Before the audience
was all in, the ushers abandoned their
posts and left people, who were provided
with reserved seat tickets, to find sitting
room as best they could. Of course, no
blame attaches to any one but the ushers
or those who directed their movements.
1t is hoped if the troupe ever comes this
way again that better care will be taken
to secure the audience the care and at
tention which are due, but which in this
instance were SO wofully neglected.

THE report just made of the condition
of the Good Templars' Order for the Sc
cond District of Wisconsin, comprising
the county of Jefferson, shows total
membership of 74S; number of lodges Il,
being an increase of members since Octo-
Der L, 1879, of 113. Less than two years
ago the membership in the district was
not over 200 and the number of lodges
only f. This indicates healthy growth
of the ORDER and its present hourishing
condition must be a source of great pride
to the members, as well as a matter OF
encouragement to the workers III the

SINCE our last issue we ind that the
article in The REPUBLICAN relative to the
Peter Smith homestead in the 9Th ward
and its loss to the heirs reflects unjustly
upon the person alluded to as the official
of the 9th ward. He became the owner
of the property in a perfectly fair and
business like manner having had moth
ing whatever to do with the tax titles on
the homestead and therefore must be ex-
onerated from any charge of "sharp prac-
tice" in the matter. The place was
bought by him for $275.00 and he sold it
for $4,000 making scarcely $500 in the
transaction by the time the necessary ex-
penses were paid. The fact still remains
patent, however, that an official at Juneau
who had recourse to the books employed
the means at his command to procure tax
titles on the Smith property until he
was able to make good his title to it and
finally dispose of it by warranty deed.
A THOUGHTFUL legislator, Senator Ben
nett, of Jefferson county, has taken steps

sene, establishing standard of quality,
and regulating the sale. The question
had been previously submitted to the State
Board. of Health, and by them pronounced
matter of grave importance and demand
ing legislative regulation. The bill pro-
proposed seems have been drawn with a
thorough understanding Of the case, and
will hardly fail to secure the endorsement
of the iegislature.-Fond du Lac Com

wouldn't be the least surprised though,
if upon his return he would relate how
the ruins Of Milton look, how business
is booming at HARRIS STANDARD

lust the way he acts. When he says he

Coburn Station daily. Fully three
ffths Of this amount is oak Car stuff,
the balance pine, nemlock and shingles.
8 cars loaded with oak and 2 with
other lumber, is about the average
number of cars sent daily from Coburn.
Large quantities are also sent from
other points along the road Spring

have no means Of knowing inst how
much. Viewing the matter simply
from a business point we can not but
