HIRAM.
kENILWORTH,

During the last few days we have
been highly entertained and benefited
by literary lectures. The first lecture,
by Pres't Hinsdale, on Formation OF
character" was richly laden with
practical ideas and good advice, by
which the aged as we'll as the young
might be instructed. The second lee
ture, by the same, before the Olive
Branch Society, subject, " The ratio of
one hundred to one hundred and one"
was listened to by large and richly
entertained audience. The idea of the
ratio was that for every 100 females
born there are 1Oi males born. The
odd or extra male was disposed of in
hazardous pursuits. Female educa-
ton was discussed from practical
standpoint. That is, the female should
first be educated in household affairs
and taught how to make home COM
Portable and pleasant. Matrimony was
touched upon by way of practical hints
to contemplating ones. Female suf-
fragists received, not consolation but
condemnation.
Rev. Robert Moffat, by request re-
peated his lecture, " To Young Preach
ers," last week. Mr.. Moffat is not a
stranger here, and consequently is al
ways greeted with full house.
The Junior Class gave a public en-
tertainment last Wednesday evening.
On account of inclement weather the
audience was not as large as usual on
such occasions. Those who were pres
ent spoke in the highest praise of the
programme. We notice with pleasure
Mr.. Newington with US, after two
years sojourn in Aurora, as Principal
of the High School. He sails for Lon
don, England, in May, to visit his
parents, and expects to return in the
Fall and again engage in teaching.
A QUEER PET.-About four weeks
ago Mrs. Reno received by mail from
her sister in California, horned toad,
put up in q boa and sealed tight. 1t
was twelve days on the road, and when
first released from its confinement was
somewhat dumpish. but soon recover
ed its normal condition. Its breast is
yellow, the back yellow and green !;
larger than our toads, and turtle shape
claws like an ape, and hard. It has
ten horns projecting from the head
and body. 1t does not hop, but walks.
J ust before dark it covers itself in its
bed of sand, where it remains till noon
next day, Spiders and flies are its food
but it has not taken any food since it
left California.
Lovers of maple sweets, may expect |
a reduction of prices for that cOmmod-
ity this season. There has been q re-
markable flow of sap for the season
thus far, and with IS inches of snow
and the thermometer indicating 16 deg. |
above zero, good run may yet be ex-
pected.
The sleighing, this 4th of April,
never was better.
While in the vicinity of weather |
ideas might say that people seem to be |
losing their interest in weather reports |
Before the weather bureau had a new |
head put on to it 80 per cent. of the |
predictions were correct; but now 80
per cent. of the predictions are incor-
rect. H.

The Clyde horse is heavier bone than any

are of great width, fiat, cordy, and hard, with
lor hair on the back part, which is character
istic and mark of pure breeding.
Considering the Importance of rearing a
better class of horses for labor or sale. we Wis.

importers for II years. and have imported as
fine CLYDE horses as ever landed on this conti-

the horse needed in this part of the country.
Tor the Clyde possesses by far more desirable
qualities than any other draft horse in exist

is already immense. and constantly increasing
all over the civilized world at a price ranging
from a5 to 30 per cent. higher than any other

BOUNTY on WILD ANIMALS.

The law providing for the payment
of State bounty on wild animals
went into effect on the I'd day of last
April, and allows the sum of So each
for the scalps of foxes, So for lynxes
and wildcats, and So for wolves. Be-
tween the I'd day of April AM the
Both day of September the sum of
ST, 059 was paid out of the State tr cas-
ury under this law, as follows: For
the scalps of 100 wildcats, 900 foxes,
20 lynxes, and 780 wolves. OF the
counties into which no scalp bounties
went there are Ashland, Bayfield,, Cal
umet, Dodge, Douglas, Kenosha, Lang
lade, Marinette, Milwaukee, and Ra-
cine. The largest sum paid in any
one county was 81, 305, which went
into Grant county. Residents of
Pierce county received $l89 for the
scalps of As foxes. l lynx, and Is
wolves. Citizens Of st. Croix county
offered up as sacrifices for the ducats
they received, 81 foxes and 3 wolves,
amounting to 1872. Grant county,
though one of the oldest counties in
the State, seems to offer the greatest
inducements for the successful propa-
cation of bounty hearing animals.

EXAMINATION OF TEACHERS.

rive take the liberty to copy the following e1-
tract from the school Code'' Of Wis.-[ED:1
l. The examination of teachers
should be confined to ascertaining
their qualifications in respect, first,
to moral character second, learning
third, ability to teach.
A superintendent can inflict no
greater wrong upon community than
TO license man of immoral character
as teacher. When the surerintend-
emit is not acquainted with the appli-
cant, testimonials as to his moral
character should be required, which
should be explicit, and from persons
of unquestionable integrity who are
intimately acquainted with said APP
plicant. Persons of questionable NOR
ais and bad manners should never be
permitted to engage in the business of
teaching. The example of the teacher
influences the character of his scholars,
hence it should always be such as to
inspire confidence.
While no religious test can be re-
CURED, person who is habitually pro-
fame, or sectarian in spirit, or unchar-
liable towards those of faith differ
ent from his own, or indiscreet i'll the
utterance of his religious or political
views, ought not to be permitted to en-
ter public school as teacher. Neither
should person receive certificate OF
good moral character who is not truth
full, temperate, orderly, honest and
prudent. A teacher should be cour-
teous, simple in his tastes, kind and
considerate toward the unfortunate.
just in his dealings, artistic, public
snirited and Dure minded,

not for Senator Cameron, but for
ex-Cbief Justice of the Supreme Court
Dixon. With number of friends, l
signed and forwarded to Mr.. ellison
dispatch to that effect, and the tele-
gram can, undoubtedly, be seen at the
telegraph office at this place, IL called
for. | was surprised to see the asser-
tion that / was the particular choice
of the /" ring" and investigated the
matter to ascertain why had won its
favor, and with the above result.
As the U. S. Senator'S are supposed
to have at least effected the nomina-
ton OF Gen. Rusk, the question as to
how Milwaukee county and the Con-
gressional districts of each of the two
Senator's stood as to him may perhaps
afford some light on the subject we
are discussing. The assertion has been
repeatedly made through the press
that the federal officers in the city of
Milwaukee formed large and power
full ingredientin the ring" But Mill
waukee county sent only nine of
her twenty eight delegates for
the "ring," Candidate Rusk. The
majority d the balance favored Mr..
Bingham. Senator Sawyer's district
sent sixteen for Mr.. Warner and
only ten for the "ring' candi-
date. This district, in which Senator
Cameron has his home = being also
Gen. Rusk's home district, = sent del
egations from at least two thirds of
the counties favorable to Rusk.
Neither Senator Sawyer nor Senator
Cameron was present at the conven-
ton.
The old saying is that Figures won't
lie," and / submit the above facts for
the examination and Judgment of my
Republican friends in Pierce county
without comment. Mr.. Warner made
a strong stand, and conducted his
campaign honorably and well ; but we
were outnumbered by the friends of
Gen. Rusk, and, as long as the nomin-
alton was fairly and honorably OBJ
tanned, it is but justice to Gen. Rusk
and his friends that we, as Republi-
cans, act towards him in this matter
as lie and his friends undoubtedly
would have conducted themselves to-
wards Mr.. Warner had we been sue
cessful in securing his nomination.
Respectfully yours,

The Farmers National Alliance, at
its recent meeting held in Chicago,
passed resolutions stating in substance
that in its opinion farmers and others
are oppressed by unequal taxation, by
subsidies to monopolies, by selfish par
tisans and dishonest officials, by rail-
road extortions and unjust discrimin-
atoms. and by other privileged classes.
It was suggested that to remedy this
evil, all property should be equally
taxed, that the salaries of all public
officials should be only fair compen-
sation for services rendered, and that
it is the duty of the general govern
ment to regulate commerce between
the several States by passing laws and
establishing regulations that will Sc
cure to the whole people just and i'm
partial rates for the transportation of
freight and passengers. The practice on
the part of Judges, Members of Con-
gress and of the Legislature of receiv-
ing free railway passes was most en-
phatically condemned, and we believe
with good reason. No public officer
can conscientiously accept a gratuity
rendered by corporations without
feeling in some degree sense of obli-
CATION to the donor, which tends to
bias his iude ment when questions af-
fecting the interests of such corpora
lions come before him for adiudica-
ton. 1t is perfectly natural that this
should be so, and it is one of the great
secrets of the success of corporations
in obtaining desired legislation or
other official actions.

none gives our State ticket a more
hearty support, says: Rings in the
Republican party are destined to be
short-lived. The sooner this is gener-

never would be smashed, as that organ
has the greatest respect for whatever
the ring decides upon. and supports it
with touching humility.
