City Tre0sstrershiD.

Watertown has just had a troublesome and
unpleasant experience with her treasurer,
Anton Schumacher, and our city in pass
ing through the ordeal of the past few
weeks has learned something that she
should profit by in the future. It has
been shown to the satisfaction of every
taxpayer, at least, that none buRcompe-
tent and responsible persons should be
elected to positions of trust and honor,
no matter how great experts they may
have been at caucuses, or how great ia
Tents they possess as political manipula-
tors. A close observance of these princi-
Piles by the voters would have saved the
city from time to time great deal of I'M
necessary trouble and some money. A
sudden demand for the payment of bill
against the city for some school house
furniture being made some weeks ago,
found Mr.. Schumacher wholly UMPIRE
pared with funds to meet the obligation.
He plead that the account was not due.
but this had nothing to do with the fact
of there being no money in the treasury
to pay with, as there should be according
to the last report made by Mr.. Schu-
macher to the Board of Street Commission
ers. 1t then occurred to the Board that
Mr.. Schumacher had been in the habit of
showing balances without having the
money on hand for them trusting to luck
to have the money when it would be
wanted. But the demand for the school
furniture before maturity spoiled this
method of carrying things along on false
premises and put sudden stop to this
peculiar system of finances. An over
hauling of the treasury books and ac-
counts led to the discovery Of a shortage
in treasurer Schumacher's accounts of
$2,48.66. Next came a settlement of the
matter. The bondsmen of Mr.. Schu-
macher, w. H. Clark, J. Bursinger, T.
Prentiss and w. Buchheit admitted the
amount of the defalcation and paid over
the deficit into the city treasury. Mean
time Mr.. Schumacher resigned the Office
of treasurer and the appointment of his
successor was the next thing to be done.
A special meeting of the Board of Street
Commissioners was called Wednesday
evening last for this purpose and William
Schultz was appointed city treasurer for
the uneXpired term of Mr. Schumacher by
a vote of 5 for Mr.. Schultz and for j.
Malloy. Mr. Schultz was the choice of
Mr.. Schumachefs sureties and upon his
election they became his bondsmen. We
believe the Board did the city good ser
vice when they appointed Mr.. Schultz as
custodian of the city funds. Mr.. Schultz
has been tried for three terms in the city
treasurer's office and the city finances
have Away been safe and secure in his
hands.

COUNTY NEWS.
FORT ATKINSON.

The information comes to us of the
suicide, by drowning, of the wife of Will
liam Billet, of Cold Springs, which took
place last Saturday. The rest of the
family were absent from home, when it
seems Mrs. Billet took an axe and cut
away the cover to the cistern, and threw
herself into the same, which contained
about four feet of water. On the return
of Mr. Billet iii the afternoon, search was
made for the wife and mother, when she
was found dead in the cistern. Mr..
Billet is a well-to-do farmer in comfortable
circumstances. The motives that prompt
ed the sad act remains as yet unknown.
The way party of their friends march
ed into their house and surprised Mr.. and
Mrs. d. w. Curtis the other night was
right jolly "for to see."Dave said he would
not have been more surprised if Garfield
had offered him the office of missionary to
Kamschatka.
Cornish & Curtis have been hard at
work for several weeks engaged in fitting
up their new churn factory with steam
heating apparatus, and putting in Is

False AICt7 M.

A good joke was played on one of our
young doctors last Thanksgiving day, by
some unknown person. A report was
circulated around among the friends of
supposed high contracting parties that
our young doctor and certain
young lady were to be made one at
the Moravian Church in this city Thanks
giving evening, and of course, as is usual
on such occasions, large number of
people congregated to witness the cere-
mony, but in place of wedding the
church goers were treated to regular
sermon instead. No doctor, no blushing
young damsel, or anything else that look
ed like wedding party made its appear
ance, and great was the wonder thereat,
AS the doctor aforesaid is somewhat given
to trifiing with the affections of the gen
tier sex he is liable to be called upon at
any time to physic breach of promise
case. Our advice to the young man is
to get married, and some good girl ought
to gobble him by fair means or foul.

lived until 1858, when he came to Wis

county. Mr.. Churchill when young re-
ceived a fine education. He had Gull
tured and well stored mind, and for a
number of years after coming to this state
followed the profession of teaching. He
