by majority OF the county
board that examined him, but as two
thirds were necessary to GUST him it
couldn't be done. Meade, however,
handed in his resignation, to take effect
next March.
We learn that VIM. Hall, of Alto,
was taken seriously sick ON Sunday
night last. Hearing some disturbance
out of doors he went out, thinking it
might be dogs after his sheep. Not re-
turning after some time, his family was
alarmed, and calling in the neighbors
search was made for him and three or
four hours after he left the house he was
found insensible in a field. he vas
taken to the house.-BrGn6On Times.
THE Phillips Times announces q shoot
ing affair which occurred at that place
last week, by Frenchman named John
POirier who shot a desperate rough
named Jim Harrington. Harrington
died of his injuries the next day, and the
coroner's jury returned a verdict that
Poirier was fully justified in shooting.
Harrington was in a condition bordering
on delirium tremens, and assaulted the
former with knife intent on taking his
life.
THURSDAY afternoon, about five
o'clock, Miss Lucy Herfurth and q
young gentleman friend from the Uni.
versity were out skating on Fourth lake.
They fell through the ice and narrowly
escaped drowning. Miss Ida Herfurth,
who was standing upon the shore and
witnessed the catastrophe, ran out, and,
by throwing one end of her cloak TO her
older sister, dragged her upon the solid
ice, after great exertion. The young
man was subsequently rescued in SINH
lar manner.-Madison Journal

HUDSON Star and Times: Indications
seem to point to very extensive opera
tons in the way of getting out log'
along the North Wisconsin railway this
winter. A goodly number of lumber
men are already in the woods and Others
are planning to join them at no distant
day. 1t has been estimated that from
10000, 900 to 100000 will be brought
down by rail and banked on the ST.
Croix, which is more than double the
product of last season. Nearly all the
mill companies are putting in a full
stock. Thus it is quite safe to conclude
that the yield will be unusually large.
The tie and wood trade, which is already
considerable, will be maintained to as
large an extent as ever.
THE catalogue of the University eff
Wisconsin for the college year of 1880
shows total of 48l students in the insti
tuition, divided among the different
classes as follows: Resident graduates
2; seniors, 81; juniors, 48; sophomores
60; freshmen, SO; special students, 81
law students, 81: sub-freshmen, los
The total in college studies is 324, OF
whom 66 take the ancient classical course
80 the modern classical, and SO the gen.
eral science. In the sub freshmen classes
q are in the ancient classical course, A
in the modern CLASSICAL, and 80 in the
general science. These figures seem t.
indicate that ancient classics are losing
ground, and modern languages anc
science gaining. The ancient classic
are necessity to all who expect K
become scholars, and are of great service
in the professions; but where the student
expects to pursue a business career OF
become an artist or artisan, the classics
may well give place to other studies, al
though there is a great deal of culture
acquired in classical study which is never
wholly lost, no matter what avocation i!
followed.
OSHKOSH Northeastern Odd: Mention
was made yesterday of q hitching test in
the fire department, whereby a clock
was awarded to the company making the
best aggregate time in three trials. L
appears that the committee visited one
engine after the other and witnessed the
test. On arriving at the Doe house the
tiremen protested against being com
PEELED to make test at that time, both
men and horses having been out all day
working in the cold in filling up &
reservoir, and claiming that it wa'
unfair to compel them to make a record
in test like this for prize, when the
horses were cold and the men tired. In
fact, they preferred not to enter into the
contest for the remarkable clock. The
chief engineer, however, ordered then
peremptorily to make the test, which
brought on a wordy protest from the
engineer, Harvey Nash, in which he
used language which chief engineer die
not think warranted to superior officer
Mr.. Nash himself said to a reporter
to-day that he said more than he ought
to have said; but he did not recognize
the justice of the authorities compelling
them to compete for prize when they
did not feel they could do Themselves
Justice. The consequence is Mr.. Nash
has been suspended by the chief engineer,
and Lu Sweet placed in charge of the
