| Our business men should make their
advertising contracts now Tor the year
1882. A live business man advertises the
year round There is truth in the follow.
ing suggestions which we copy from an
exchange: "Some men treat advertising
as improvident, shiflless persons do :heir
leaky ro"fs. When the sun shines they
don't need patching; and when it rains
they can't patch them. When trade is
fair they see no need Of advertising; and
when trade is d uIl they can't afford to
advertise. Judicious advertising is re-
serve force IN business, and If pursued
in good times it makes dull times less
dull"
The "Boston Ideals" met with the
citizens of Austin yer agreement Wednes-
day evening, and Jones' hall was filled
to the sidewalk across the street. The
play, Uncle Toms Cabin" We pronounce
a burlesque on the beautiful story that
VIC have so loved to read over and over
again since The DAYS of our childhood,
ana until We can forget the poor presen.
ta,ions of some OF its most thrilling parts
by the Boston Ideals, we shalt tccl that
its glory has departed. Tne only we'll
sustained parts from our standpoint were
Topsy and little Eva and Eva's part was
spoken most too distinctly for the pass

event occurring last evening, being the
marriag &c OF Dr.. H. A. Avery, ut Austin,
Mimi, to Miss Florence N. Judson, Of
this city. The ceremony occurred at the
residence otNlaj ,r B. J. VanValkenburgh,
being performed by Rev. +. Q. Osborne,
rector Of Christ church, and was witnessed
by only The intimate friends The happy
courle lef; for their home at Austin by
the G. w. & ). P. r. II. this morning
|-Green Bay Gazette, Dec. 30.
The TRANSCRIPTS congratulations are
extended to Dr.. aud Mrs. Avery with more
than a passing interest. We hope the
rich promises Of this glad time may be
all fulfilled, and as the years pass on, the
days Of the honeymoon long gone by, the
bridal blossoms faded, and the morning
Of life lived, may the solemn VOWS Of their
marriage covenant, "for richer for poorer,
for better for worse, till death do them
part" be still perfect, in welded love.
Look on, for your dogs. The Legis-
lature of last winter passed strong dog
law. If the brutes are not licensed, and
then kept within reasonable limits, any
person may kill thcm-and every owner
or keeper of dog shall forfeit to any
person injured ny it double the amount
of the damage sustained by HIM, to be re-
covered in civil action. The first SEC
ton Of the law provides that every owner
or keeper of dog shall annually, on or
before the ,hirtie,h day Of April, carse to
be registered, numbered, described and
licensed for one year from the first day Of
the ensuing My, in the office of the clerk
nr The city, village or town wherein h"
resides, and shall cause it o-wear around
its neck collar distinctly marked with
its owners name and registered number,
and shall! pay for such licease one dollar
for each male dog, and two dollars for
each female dog, over the age of six
months.
The followiag extract. from an cx-
change, presents a strong argument
against the amusement Of dancing:
"Ihe chief of police OF New York says
that three fourths If the abandoned girls IN
Tins city were ruined hy dancing. Young
ladies allow gentlemen privileges in dane
ing, which under other circumstances
would be considered improper. 1t re-
lquires neither brains nor good morals to
be q good dancer. AS love IT one in
creases, the love of the other decreases.
How many OF the best of men and women
are skilled dancers? In ancient time the
sexes danced separately. Alcohol is the
spirit OF beverages. So sex Is the spirit
Of the dance. Take it away, and let sexes
dance separately, and dancing would &"
"u, Of fashion very s"~n. Parl"r dane
ing is dangerous. Tipping leads to
drunkenness, and parlor dancing leads

lor dancing sow to the wind and
reap the whirlwind. Put dancing
in the cruclble, apply the acids,
