The threshing season is now over. and
the thresher is condemned to the shades
OF retirement, while the soil is being pre-
pared for the future harvest.
the annual meeting was held in Dist.
No. 4, last Monday, and the. authorities
followed the laudable precedent establish
ed by the ''famous district" by voting
for female teacher, the accompaniment,
in their estimation, of low taxes in their
district and the harbineer Of traine d
minds in the community.
John F. Englbrecht, our most intelli-
gent and energetic business man, who
purchased the saw and grist-mill former
ly owned by Mr.. Suhewall, has fitted it
up in frst.class style and is now prepared
to make -four of the first quality on the
shortest notice.
The death of President Garfield was
timely announced and heartily deplored
by ell who heard the unwelcome tidings.
There was no suspension of business on
Monday, but when the hour for interment
arrived every citizen manifested his be-
reavement and his sorrow, while the
church bells of the town tolled solemn
strain at the time the nations honored
magistrate was laid in his final resting
place.
We hear that marriage between one
Of Franklin's fairest daughters and a
young man of the Clipper City is on the
tapis. We have the pleasure of knowing
both parties, and though we should fail
to be able to partake in the ceremony of
making personal manifestation of our
hearty good wishes. we shall always hope
that path strewn with flowers inter
mingled with few thorns will be the
one that they will have to tread in their
journey through life.
No matter what the disparity Of age
or what the obscurity Of birth, in these
days the diamond almost invariably takes
the heart; and no matter to what temper
allure the fire of love may have risen in a
maiden's bosom, it almost invaribly dies
away and the heart becomes insensible
and frigid as coon as the maiden finds
that her suitor possesses not all of this
worlds goods that are commensurate
with the feminine ideal of prosperity.
Never was the truth of these words
more fully demonstrated than in the case
of an intended marriage which was to
take place not a thousand miles from
here. The wooing had long been going
on; the dilatory question had at length
been asked; the hopeful answer was soon
received; and the preliminaries to the
nuptial ceremonies we're at last arranged.
All that remained was pilgrimage which
one of the parties was to perform in order
to view the property Of the object of her
holy alteration. The feat was soon per-
formed, but with the termination of the
journey the fire of love was extinguished.
The disappointed sweetheart discovered
that all the past smiles Of her love must
have been sordid; that all the representa-
tons of his wealth must have been in
sidious. and she returned wiser, if a
saider person, prepared to say, 'frailty
thy name is woman" but duplicity thy
name is man.
A novice in the cheese making line last
spring erected one OF those coagulating
institutions which during the past few
years have done so much to develope the
industry and increase the prosperity of
Manitoroc county. Sanguine hopes in
native generosity, induced him to pay a
much larger price for the milk than the
market could afford or his own welfare
insure. Such conduct, so incompatible
with his own interests and so hazardous
for his bondsman, excited no displessure
and produced no embarrassment until the
cheese, pronounced unstable, repelled
all spectators from their presence. Then
when the storm Of wrath burst forth,
when credulous bondsman and disap-
pointed grangers all attributed their ruin
and disaster to the arts of this willy en-
ployee, he beat cousummate and mas
terly retreat, leaving behind him large
list of angry acquaintances who hold
their noses and view the product OF his
labors.
