A Bond .S,tlT.

Deputy United States Marshal Sly.
for the Eastern District of Wisconsin,
visited our city last Wednesday evening
and at once proceeded to serve a writ of
mandamus upon the ex-mayor, ex-aider-
men, city clerk and treasurer. Marshal
Sly did not get through with his official
visitation until next day finding our ex-
officials ''too utterly too numerous. The
mandamus thus served upon the city is out
of the United States Court for the Eastern
District of Wisconsin in the case of Gurdon
Hewitt, Jr., VS. the city Of Watertown,
upon a judgment rendered by said court
November 22d, 1870 for the sum of $24,-
36S.08 and costs to the amount of $267. SO.
The judgment was obtained upon Water
town Railroad bonds and we understand
this is the fourth writ that has been serv-
ed upon the city in this same suit. The
writ orders the city council to levy tax
for the sum of the judgment and COSTS
the city clerk to incorporate the amount
into the tax rolls for this year, and the
treasurer to pay over the amount to the
Clerk of the United States District Court.
on or before January Sd, 1883. The
plan of operations, it must be admitted, is
very nicely devised but several obstacles
are found to be in the way before its full
tillment can be reached No railroad
bond tax levy against this city could be
complete without the name of E. Marin
er, our cold man of the sea- being at
tached to it, and sure enough these writs
bore his signature as attorney for the
plaintiff. Deputy Sly did not seem at all
abashed or disappointed in his work of
serving the papers to find that by the
time he had had reached the mayor and
aldermen they had resigned leaving the
city government in the hands of the Board
of Street Commissioners upon whom ac-
cording to the terms of the city charter a
service does not hold good. The same is
true of the city clerk and treasurer so
that just what has been effected by Depu-
ty Sly's visitation remains to be seen.
Later in the day eX-mayor Rohr was serv-
ed with another writ from the Jefferson
county circuit court in judgment against
the city on account of the railroad debt.
The courts ali around are evidently bent
in trying their hand with us. Many of
our citizens are now asking themselves
how long this state of things is to contin-
ne. Has the city no other future before
it than to be hectored, hampered and an
noyed in this manner? The answer to
this question lies in what can be done to
relieve Watertown of her bonded debt.
Will relief ever come? What say our
people to this question?

WISCONSIN TURNER'S. Til e eighteenth
annual session of the Wisconsin Turner'S
was held at Fond du Lac this week The
% Turner Societies of the state reported
1891 members of which $50 are active
and 274 took regular part in gymnastics.
The number of pupils in the various Turn
er Societies was 1140 boys and 354 girls.
The Watertown Turner Society report a
membership of 40, the Beaver Dam So
ciety 20. The total membership in the
state for 1881 is 1861 in 1880 1884. The
decrease of % members is explained by
the striking off of members not in good
standing. The receipts during the year
amounted to $1446 go the disbursements
$6l9.95. Seventeen societies have halls
of their own. 1t was decided to hold the
next funniest at Green Bay and that of
1883 at Racine.

Seed Time.

Farmers in this section are now in the
midst of their seeding and with a contin-
uance of favorable weather most Of the
sowing of spring grain would have been
done this week. Nearly all the land is in
excellent condition for working and the
outlook is regarded as quite favorable.
The area of s,ring wheat will be much
smaller than former years, the farmers
about here directing their attention main
ly to barley. The prospect for winter
wheat is excellent. The acreage is large
and with the exception of a field here
and there the crop appears in prime con
dition.

Inmates Of AImshouses,

There is prevalent idea that tho
almshouses, for the most part, shelter
the unhappy and guiltless poor, whor3
unmerciful disaster has followed fast
and followed faster until it has chased
them into this last refuge people who
have come from vine-covered cottages,
or tidy rooms up one flight of stairs in
tenement houses, with a big Bible on
the table and a pot of flowers in the
window; or even from luxurious homes
desolated by commercial panics. AS q
matter of fact, the great majority Of
American indoor paupers belong to what
are called the lower classes, and seek
the almshouse not because of CONNER.
DIAL disaster, but because Of very COM
mon vices.

Attack on the Idol of Juggernaut

An attack has been made upon the
idol Of Juggernaut, at Pooree, the most
sacred shrine III India, by body Of
fanatics.
The rioters, who numbered twelve
mon and three women, and were almost
in q state of nudity, succeeded in en-
tering the temple, and tried to force
their way into the inner recesses. AL
though upward of 1000 pilgrims were
present, they were not expelled without
severe struggle, in the course of which
one intruder was trampled to death.
The rest were arrested, and sentenced
to three months imprisonment
The inquiry showed that they belonged
to set Of Hindoo dissenters lutely
founded III the Sumbulpore district, and
known as Kumbhupatias from the fact
that the followers wear ropes of bark
around their w,ists.
They allege that their religion was re-
veaied to siXty-four persons in 1864 by a
god incarnate, whom they style Aleknew-
amy-that is, the Lord-whose attri-
butes can not be described in writing.
They believe in the existence of the
OO.0OO,O00 Of Hindoo deities, but do
not respect their images, saying it is i'm
possible to represent a Supreme Being
subdivided into three classes. two of
which renounce the world and make no
distinction of caste, while the third lead
q family life Their habits arc said to
be very filthy, and, like some European
sects, they take no medicine in illness,
but rely solely on divine help. Their
attack on the Pooree temple was
prompted by. the belief that if the Jug
gernaut were burned it would convince
the Hindoo of the futility of their relig-
ION, and the whole world would then
embrace the truth. - Calcutta Gazette.
The Saxons we're the most faithful
allies of the Emperor until the battle of
Leipsic, the chief city of Saxony, though
not its capital. There at the moment
that Napoleon's 60, 600 was closing in for
its inevitable triumph the Saxon corps
former comrades. This decided the
contest. Napoleon, having made his
combinations and deSpising the un-
wieldly enemy, had retired to cat his
dinner in peace. He was finishing q leg
Of mutton, q meat which he never ven
tured on until his duty of the day was
done, when an aide delivered the fateful
message. "Wcll," he remarked With
composre, Zone must never eat until
his battle is won. Now we shall have
the whole work to do over tomorrow. I
shall never eat mutton again, cola tout"
The next day ho did indeed worst tho
over confident enemy, but he didn't
crush him, as in the glorious days of
Wagram, Austerlitz and Jena, and whilo
his losses couldn't be replaced, the
swarming levies of Austria, Russia,
Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony and the Rhine
paid by British gold-renewed them
selves daily, until finally, though they
met nothing but defeat, by sheer force
of numbers, like Grant at Petersburg,
the Emperor's victorious legions were
fought to mere guard. Then came the
fateful day of Fontainebleau, when the
man who had mastered Europe abdicated
his place and relinquished his glorious

In HIS New Years sermon, Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher stated that any man WHO
perverted one dollar intended for the
education of children should be gibbetcl
as criminal, and he concluded by ask
ing, what would be said of man who
made the loss of virtue q condition of
giving place, and what punishment
could be found for such a miscreant? At
meeting of the New Brooklyn Board of
Education, few days later, the remarks
were read, and motion was made that
committee of three be appointed to visit
Beecher, and ask him for the informa-
tion on which he based his remarks. The
motion, being out of order, was over
ruled, but will probably come up again.
