| On Saturday last teachers meeting
was held at the High school-room I'M
der the supervision of Prof. Leach, the
Principal, which was exceedingly in
teresting. 1t was gratifying to see the
interest manifested, and the evident
good feeling and harmony which ex-
lists among our teachers. These meet

doubtless will be productive of much
good.

Mr.. James p. English, who has been
for some time reading law in the office
of M. A. Baker, Esq, in this city, was
duly admitted to the bar at the Circuit
Court in Racine on Monday last. Mr..
English is young man of ability and
promise, and we congratulate him up
on his promotion, and the profession
upon having received so worthy an
accession. Mr.. English contemplates
going to Omaha in a few days to COM

Ben. Eichelman, Jr, has his studio
in full operation now. tits handsome
ly and appropriately furnished, and at
once impresses you with the idea that
you are in an atmosphere of art. We
notice more particularly among the
specimens. of his work two free-hand
crayon sketches from life, which are
exceedingly fine, and evince q degree of
proficiency in his profession which
promises for Mr.. Eichelman great sue
cess. Mr.. Eichelman has several COM
missions now, and we hope our citiz-
ems will give him the encouragement
he deserves.
We notice by our exchanges that the
candidate for County Clerks in Door
county is Lyman d. Mowry, an old
Kenosha boy. Mr.. Mowry was educat-
ed in our public schools, where he made
the most of his advantages and stood
we'll in his classes. He had merited
reputation for integrity and business
ability when employed in the stores
of Mr.. S. Doan and of Mr.. F. w. Lyman.
He served faithfully in the 39th Wis
consin Infantry, having entered at the
age of eighteen. His record as a loyal
citizen and an honest man of business
ability entitle him to round majority,
which he will doubtless receive.
Lieut.. Walton, of the U. S. Navy,
who has been for some days drilling
the crew at the Life-saving Station,
finished his services in that direction
by giving public exhibition on Sat
urday afternoon last. A large number
of people were in attendance, and all
seemed much glatifed. The machin-
cry seemed to be in perfect working
order, and the crew did themselves
much credit. They went through the
drill of operating the life car in four
and quarter minutes. Lieut.. Walton
says this crew have made better time
in this drill than any under his super
vision.
In our report last week of the case
of Mrs. Karin Petersen, who died from
hemorrhage of the nose on the farm of
Mr.. VIM. B. Selleck, in Pleasant Prai-
RE, we were little misled as to the
facts. Petersen is an employee on
Selleck's farm, and, with his family,
lived in one of the houses on the place,
some distance from the actual resi-.
dence of the Selleck family DR.. Ward
had had charge of the case for four
days previous to the time of the re
lape and the consequent death. When
the relapse occurred, Dr. Ward was
sent for as soon as any danger was APP
pretended. 1t is due to the Selleck
family to say that we are assured the
woman received every possible kind
ness and attention at their hands.
The Ladies Park Association are
doing themselves great credit 10 the
earnest manner they are pushing the
work. The contractors, Messrs. Wat
ties, Schumacher and Ward, have made
good advancement in removing the
surface dirt in places and taking it to
other places in the process of perfect
ing the grade. The pond is staked out,
and excavations will at once begin.
The walks are to be dug out and gray
