The schools have closed for two
weeks vacation which lasts till the

The people are discussing the merits
of different persons for the several town
offices. There will be a caucus Satur-

conversation among those who have
nothing else to do.
Esq. Brooks has moved his Office to
more ample quarters where his increas-
ing business will have to grow larger
and better. The Squire is popular with
the people of this community and il is
Justly deserved by reason of his urban
ity and splendid business qualities.
Many of our people would have well
liked to have seen by Squire in the leg
islature last winter. The town is
staunchly republican when properly
treated ut the hands of the party and it
would be well for those who are in the
political pie to take notice of this fact,
else there will be 4 day of reckoning
when matters will not be thusly.
Mr.. Cyrus Sergeant, the mammoth
farmer of Wisconsin continues to in
crease his domain by purchasing farms
in all directions on Blakes' Prairie.
He now farms over four thousand acres
on this prairie and if he continues pur-
chasing it is hard to tell how
much he will own. But the worst
feature of the whole matter is,
that he is a bachelor of the strong
est stripe. And yet, he is man Of
| kind and tender disposition, who would
make splendid husband were he only
! to fall into the hands of some amiable
lady, that would train him little and
break him of his bachelor ways. Let
some enterprising lady set about it and
fetch Cryus to time, and we will give
her present which will be worth re-
cording in the sprightly columns of THE
| HERALD We would like to see Mr..
Sargent truly happy, and nothing but
the best of wishes prompts us to this
notice of him to the ladies.
