Stephen Nash of this place has engag-
ed to teach school in Kewaunee county.
This is his second term not only in that
district but as teacher. He merits and
receives congratulation for his success in
his incipient work as pedagogue.
P. J. Taugher has engaged the school
at Kellnersville. We apprehend sue
oessful career for him and term of profit
to his pupils as well as satisfaction to his
| constituents.
One of Manitowoc county's most sue
cessful teachers, Thos. Burke, has had
| his merits recognized recently by being
called away to Watertown, by Prof. Vie
| balm, to officiate as teacher in one of the
city schools.
James Burke engaged to teach in Dist.
No. 2, Cooperstown, about two weeks
ago. but he soon found school more
desirable and salary more remunerative.
He, accordingly, resigned. The school
| board felt mortified at losing so expert
They reproached themselves for having
contracted so loosely, and became fully
determined to bind the next applicant.
Mr.. O'Brien, OF Rockland, by ties the
most sacred, not to ignore them no mat
ter what caprice fortune might take or
what opportunities other school boards
| might make.
Andrew Devans is just completing
new dwelling house. On next Saturday
night regular old-fashioned house-war-
ming will be iraugurated, when the lads
and the lasses come prepared to make
the first night in the new home one of
pleasure to themselves and q little e1pen-
siye to their host.
Michael Mulquine has again concluded
to abandon farming and betake himself
to the city of sin to engage in work in
the rolling mill where the atmosphere is
more warm and less pure than the bland
air of the rural regions.
Joseph Zelinka is making additional
conveniences to his hall, preparatory to
a grand ball to be given on Sunday, Oct.
End, when the feast of Bohemia's patron
saint will be celebrated with all the cere-
mony that the urbane denizens are capa-
BILE of.
Some persons whose generosity has
suddenly developed itself recently sought
to crafty the proxy who now occupies
the parsonage of st. James church, by
appearing in disguise and placing in the
cellar of that mansion something valued
by themselves but ignored by others as
an article of food. Who these benefcent
prodigies are still remains mystery
which the future may solve, but which
the present generation can never hope to
penetrate. But they will probably heed
yesterdays warning and in the dead of
some dark night withdraw the gift of
their recent charity in order to prevent
the carrying out of the threat which
promises to send the precious treasure
to the Exposition there to meet the gaze
and excite the wonder of curious hui
mainly.
The work of the tax commissioners
fails to excite any great fu1o ore among the
stoical grangers of this locality; they will
pay the expenses of the impartial COM
missioners without murmur, but will
undoubtedly ask, what is the cause of
| these high taxes, and will soon attribute
the commission" and its work to the
chairmen who were earnest in their en-

but who were either too erroneous in
their views or too impotent in the cause
OF justice to achieve any victory over the
aristocratic and opulent city of Manito-

alton over on to the city as we'll as the
county.
