The public schools re.opened last
Monday with a full compliment OF
teachers, Prof. Robt. PA. Nix having
been engaged to fill the vacancy occa'
stoned by the resignation of JOS. A.
Eckstein. We learn that Mr.. E. G.

ing the annual county fair. We hope
the society will provide for holding the

farmer in Brown county to make an
exhibit.
The mail robbery at La Crosse on
the LIST inst. of Il number of registered
letters, has been traced to one Ed. Kee.
Ter. a route agent on the Southern
MINI. r. R. Several letters that cor
responded with those stolen were
found in water closet which Keller
had visited on the night of the rob.
berry, and the evidence is so strong
against him that he has been commit.
ted for trial at the September court.
A commission house in Chicago
wrote to II. A. Subilia Sen. for sam.
pie OF new No. 2 wheat. After visiting
several fields Mr.. SubiIia shelled some
out which lie thought would grade No
2, but upon being tested it weight co.,
pounds to the bushel and graded IL
good No. l.. Mr.. Subilia sent the sam.
pie on to Chicago with the statement
that there was no No. 2 wheat in these
parts this year, which statement was
about correct.
G. F. Held, manufacturer of the re-
liable "Farmers' Friend tanning
mill, speaks to the farmers of Brown
and adjoining counties through the
columns of the REVIEW this week.
Mr.. Held's mill is no doubt equal to
any tanning mill sold and used in this
vicinity, and his prices, we are in
formed, will correspond equally as ia.
vorably as his mills. Patronize home
industry and run no risk of getting
swindled.
The practice of drilling holes in the
silver coin of the country results in a
loss of from rs to so per cent. to the
holder, and the practice has become so
universal that the government is fore
ed to protect itself by providing a pen
atty for so doing, and regulating the
value of such coins by the following
scale: The silver dollar with hole
in is received for only Is cents; so cts.
piecr IS cents; quarter dollar, Is cts.
dime, S cts. and five and three cent
pieces are refused. The authorities
have notified postmasters not to re.
ceive such coins except at the above
ates, and the banks will do likewise.

Jos. Gag, a young man of this city
now visitinga school in Chicago, 4
natural artist of no little ability, has
painted and sent to Mr.. Schell four
beautiful oil paintings. Mr.. Schcll
has placed these works OF art in the
hands of Mr.. Wagner to be framed,
and in order to raise some funds to
enable the young man to complete his
studies it is proposed to sell them by
lot, at so cents ticket. Several of
our business men have already signi-
fed their intention to take hold of the
matter and assist Mr.. Schell in the
laudable work, and we have no doubt
a handsome sum can thus be realized
from the sale of the paintings.
A correspondent of the Pioneer Press
says that the Chicago & Northwestern
Railroad company has decided to con-
meet it's Black Hills lines of road with
Watertown on the main line, by
road from volga up the Sioux river.
Work will be begun at once, and the
grade completed and iron laid this
year. The distance is sixty miles. The
Watertown line will be extented to the
James river to a connection with the
James River branch, but this will

Tracy to Fort Pierre, the Chicago &
Northwestern will have a continuous

reach the Black Hills the company will
