1 A few weeks since we announced that Mr..
Chas Binninger had purchased the corner
lot belonging to Mrs. Fisk, west Of Mona
CHAN blacksmith shop. Since that time he
has purchased the Creaney house. which ad-
joined the matt house. and moved il on to
his lot. He is now having il fitted up for q
the front of the Cutler LOT on Church street
and Mrs. Smiths house. Mr.. Fred. Backer
has purchased AZ feet front Of Mrs. Fisk Of
the ground adjoining Mr.. Binninger's and the
Cutler house, and will put up shop. Both
these gentlemen will engage in the carriage
building and trimming business. each one in
his own line. Mr.. Binninger had made ar
rangements in the spring to leave this city,
bat his friends induced him to stay, and we
are glad to see that he is prospecting
On Thursday afternoon last, John Dawson,
of Pleasant Prairie, came to this city. and
was unfortunate enough to become jntoxi-
Gated. When on the point Of going home be
made rather a reckless drive up and down
Main street, and finally run into another We

furniture store, tearing off wheel Of Daw-
sons wagon The wagon run into escaped
without much injury. Dawson was arrested
and taken to jail and the horses to Jewett's
stables for the night. Ga Friday Dawson
paid his fine of three dollars and costs in
Justice Morin's court. Poor Jack is unfor-
tunate, indeed, aud we can't help thinking
that saloon keepers who know so well his un-
fortunate disposition should forebear to sell
him liquor or beer when they see him in any
degree under the influence of either.
Miss M. A. Monaghan, who has been for
two years teacher in our public schools,
has resigned her position in the First Gram
mar department, and goes to River Falls TO
take prominent position in the school of
which Prof. Hosea Barns is principal. It is
source of regret to the many friends of
Miss Monaghan in. Kenosha that she makes
the change She has been counted as one of
the best and most thorough teachers. Al
wavs at her post, good discipllnarian, thor
ough in her class work, cultivated in her
tastes, her school not only took high rank in
the grade, but her pupils we're known to be
surrounded by those healthful and refining
influences which can only be furnished by a
thoughtful, cultivated and experienced
teacher. The writer has reason to know of
Miss Monaghan's ability from his connection
with the public schools Of this city, and from
the fact that one of his children has been in
her department for the last year. The
schools will miss Miss Monaghan, and we
can safely say what is our loss will be the
gain of the River Falls people, and we cannot
but congratulate them on their good fortune.
Michael Sullivan. Willie Congdon and Will
lie English, three boys, conceived the idea
of taking Mr.. Frank S. Roddle's horse, |
which was tied to a post on the street, and
going to Racine. They drove the horse I'M
mercifully and nearly ruined it. The English
boy, it seems, had nothing to do with the
origin of the affair, and there was no case
against him. The Congdon boy escaped only
on account of his age, being under ten years.
Mr.. Roddle made complaint against the Sui
livan boy, on the charge of malicious mis-
chief, and he was committed by Justice
NORM to the Industrial school for boys at
Waukesha. The charge was aggravated by
the fact'that Sullivan was generally disposed
to be perverse and mischievous, and his
friends favored the idea of his being sent to
some reformatory institution. The boy is not
so much to blame, as his home training has
been none of the best, and this was also
taken into consideration. Not content with
going to Racine once, the boys turned the
horse into Bond s pasture, with the intention
of repeating the ride the next day.
