MAPLE GROVE.

The summer term of most of the schools
in this part of the county began this
week. All the old teachers are retained
An evidence of their popularity and OF
the wisdom of school boards, for one
of the greatest evils of our school system
is the too frequent change of teachers.
Election passed off quietly here and all
but the defeated candidates are well
pleased with the result. Maple Grove
has now as capable corps of officers as
any town in Wisconsin, and in their
hands the interests of the "dear people"
are safe.
Chas. Lorenz lately sold some Jersey
cows and Poland China pigs at fabulous
prices. One of the latter was gentle
man pig, as fine specimen as was ever
brought to the county, quiet and docile,
with none of the "xylophsgous" tenden-
cies of his Cooperstown cousin.
Miss Mollie Collins of Manitowoc, was
of last week.
Horse thieves still continue to ply
their trade in the neighboring towns of
Brown county. Farmers with good teams
are tracked from Green Bay and Depere
and their horses taken by night from
their stables. Every effort to track the
thief has proved unavailing.
Frank Horn was lately married to a
young lady from Newton. We wish
Frank all the pleasure to be derived from
the convential phrases usually rendered
on such occasions.
Another "happy event" takes place
here Wednesday in the marriage OF Peter
Olson to Miss Emma Walschlaeger. Mr..
Olson is to be congratulated in winning
for his bride the handsomest woman of
her nationality in the county.
Some of our grangers had their smoke
houses raided since Jesse James died, and
all their meat taken therefrom. Report
is outspoken with the name of the sup =
posed thief but no legal steps have yet
been taken.
Smallpox is still working out its sal
walton OF Reedsville, but under the watch
full care of James Noble, will soon be
able to care for itself. Some six families
are afflicted but comparatively few deaths
have taken place.
We are pleased to learn that MissKatie
Dempsey is giving general satisfaction as
teacher in district number 3, town of
Meme. The placing of lady for the
winter term in that school-the best in
the county-was an experiment, and it
is gratifying to know there is no cause
for regret.
We lately heard man, under the in
fuence of liquor, abuse a fellow mortal
without 'just cause or provocation. -
Every epithet and i'll expression in the
Kings English was exhausted, while
jeering crowd of hoodlums cheered to
the echo every vile expression, thus
inducing the leering fool to continue in
their utterance. ooh man, proud man,
how fallen art thou when bereft of reason!
Then doest thou become the laughing
stock of devils and of men,"
The change in the school law as to the
time of holding the annual meeting is
favorably received here. Will the Super
intendent inform US, through this issue
of The Pilot, whether any officer is to be
elected at the coming meeting, or will
the old officer hold over until June 1882
The Old officers hold until the June
following. This not only applies to the
officer to be elected this year, but to the
other two. The present term of each is
heightened from the August or Septem-
Der on which, according to the old law,
their term would expire, to the June fol
lowing.
A large party is to be given at John
Morrisey's hotel on next Saturday even
ing by Denis Sheahan. Den is Maple
Groves favorite son, and his party bids
fair to be the best ever assembled within
its borders.
