PALMYRA.

E. ErricsoE, and A. J. Grant, of this
village, visited Milwaukee, on Thursday,
the first anniversary of the terrible New
hall House fire and tragedy which excited
a sensation, unsurpassed on account of
the gr a; l1ss of life and property and
from which they almost miraculously
escaped, by climbing down from the
fourth story, on the outside, clinging to
window caps and sills in their:moyement
toward the ground And all this while
other inmates of the fated building were
passing through the frey ordeal to the
great unknown. A sad remembrance
flashed through the minds of these gen
tlemen and a thankiulness, although,
perhaps unexpressed in words, went up
to the great Giver of all good, as the
thought of that anniversary was impress
ed upon them, that they had been spared
to make good their escape to home and
friends.$

We have received from Henry Haskell,
of jefferson, plaster cast of the won
derful stone pipe now in the possession
of M. @. Jones, of this city. Prot. >. ~.
Butler, of Madison, in speaking OF this
pipe, says but one other like it has been
found in the United States. Mr. Haskell
has the finest collection of prehistoric
relics in the state, and says no other area
of territory of the United States can
equal Jefferson county in the number OF
such relics deposited in the soil. 1t shows
that Rock river and its tributaries has
been the seat of a wonderful aboriginal
population.
Their constantly increasing correspond
ence has at last compelled Cornish q
Curtis to employ Miss Hattie Dean, of
Chicago, whois a competent stenographer
and typewriter To those who have
never seen Remington type-writlng
machine operate, the sight is novelty
well worth seeing.

The LIBERALS IN GERMANY.--Herr
Las6er will be sadly missed at the COM
ing session of the German Reichstag. He
was the chosen chief of the party whose
mission it has long been to put obstacles
in the way of Bismarck's truculent inter
nal policy; and he had many times shown
that his mettle was as stubborn and his
courage as unquenchable as that Of the
great Chancellor himself. The Liberals
are just now in situation, too, when
above all things they need fearless and
intelligent leadership. Germany has
lost in Herr Lasker the one statesman
who gave most promise of sooner or later
winning greater liberties for the people.
Yet the Liberal ranks are not wanting in
younger men of strong intellectual cali
ber and political skill, and the dead
statesman's place is likely to do well and
speedily filled.

Annual Meeting OF the Board OF
Supervisors Of Jefferson
County for 1888.

Included in the above amount is 81 judgment
against one j. A. Cutter who was soldier in
the late war, and receives pension from the
government on account of his insanity. Mr..
Scheuber his guardian, who receives his pen
sion money refuses to pay the judgment, and
claims that he cannot be forced to do it, under
decision of the Supreme Court which de-
claTes that pension money cannot be attached.
While we have some doubts in our own minds
in regard to the binding force of that decision
in this particular case-the absurdity of which
must be patent to every sane mind, as it defeats
the very object and purpose for which the PEN
sion was sgranted-nevertheless if such was the
fact, and there is no remedy, your committee
would recommend that application be immedi-
at 1ly made for the removal Of said Gutter to the
National Hospital for Insane Soldiers" under
section 567, chapter 90 of the revised statutes
unles said guardian shall pay the Judgment and
become responsible for the future support of his
ward.
Your committee would further recommend
that the district attorney be requested by the
Board t. continue his efforts to settle with de-
linquents and collect all moneys Justly due the
county from such as are able to pay.
We feel that we cannot in justice close this re-
port without acknowledging our obligations to
the district attorney for his cheerful able, ener-
getic and successful effolts in carrying out the
thathe is entitled to such remuneration for ex-
ira expenses incurred in prosecuting these cases.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
