NJ. j. Baird is teaching his fourth
term in the Lauder district, Martel.

c. j. Brewer and L. J. McAndrew
| will commence Select School al
Ellsworth, Tuesday, July It'll, to con
tinue in session six or eight weeks.
They are both young men of strong
integrity and will undoubtedly teach
| good school.
A large number of Pierce Co. teach.
| ers have subscribed for the Wis. Jour.
nal of Education the last winter.
This paper is now deserving of liberal
patronage.
The number of candidates for the
Common School Diploma was fifty.
one, the number far exceeding that OF
any previous examination season.
Out of tifty-one thirty-nine passed
and received the DIPLOMA.
This Diploma, besides being an in
centive to study and a stimulant to
ambition, is a commentator for the
pupil and shows his proficiency in the
common branches. To those teachers
who Zealously labored the past winter
putting into their schools, the Course
of Study and in graduating pupils
from it, we extend our thanks, and
hope in the near future to see null
tiplication of common school gradual
ing exercises.
Besides fitting the pupil for citizen
ship, the Course has a practical end
in view which seems to be misunder-
stood by quite number of teachers.
In our school inspection we notice
as a general rule more labor bestowd
on the conjunction of the abstruse
verb than upon the composition of
the practical business letter or the
systematic arrangement of debts and
credits.
We note with much satisfaction
the plain, easy and bold handwriting
exhibited on many of the papers, and
feel that in this respect good work
has been done.
The following are the names and
postoffice address of those who have
graduated from the Course; also the
names of the teachers who instruct
ed them:

THE 1884 WIND UP.
Judge Burr Sentenced a Few Migrants
to the Workhouse,
Where They Can Watch the Old Year Ont
and the New One In.

1t was sad day, this last day Of the old
year, In the police court yesterday; there was
noreminder OF summer, either without or in
side the bull pen, and the roses Of the sweet
spring time of long ago had not more irrevo-
cably persisted than has the spark OF hope in
the abject life of poor old Mrs. Penny. A
few years ago this woman was a happy wife
and mother; to-day she Is mendicant and
an outcast. But why en- quire into her mis-
cry en b0nOf Let her rest from the bitter
heart OF winter aud the colder charity of
man at the wUrkhouse for thirty days.
But how about VIM. Smith; he is a
man Of fifty years and has family
Of little ones in the Sixth ward !;
he Is the fellow who forgot his manhood and
com mittcd the outrage on his stepdaughter:
now he is deep in the mire and the misrr-
able wretch dragged his family down with
bin. But let him be with his bitter thoughts
and the scourging of conscience. He was
held 10 the grand jury anil committed.
s. RiOrder was charged with selling mort
gagged property, the complaint being made
by Abe Finn, another Hebrew; the casr
which looks very thin, was continued until
to-day. VIM. DOvile and II. Mllett, u couple
OF little Canada Frrncbmcn, were up on the
charge Of assault; they got into fight over
tue payment Of a drink and were both
yankrd. II cost them ten bills each.
VIM Sands was 40 for touching II green
born named Gray 10 the extent Of $S5, both
parties having been on spree Tuesday
night Yesterday Gray wanted 10 Withdraw
the charge but the court wouldn't have 1t that
way and the hearing was continued until to-
day.

City Treasurci's RAPPORT.
1t vii be seen from the following report of City
Treasurer Refs, that after year of great expen-
ditures for public improvements the condition of
the city finances is certainly very gratifying con-
sidering especially that Mt this time of the year
all expenses OF the year just passed are met and
paid for, and the revenue from new taxes and
licenses have not commenced to come in yet.
The city owes far less TO contractors for work
under way than last year at the same period or
some years before, and is IN better financial con-
dition.
The rooms Of the city treasurers office have
during the past year often proved themselves to
be utterly inadequate for the accommodation of
the public. or for the disposal and proper con-
Yenience of the clerical force absolutely necessary
to meet the increased demands of the public. and
some temporary relief will have TO be devised
before the new court house Gun be finished,
which will take some lime.
The vouchers for the receipts and disburse-
ments OF within report file in this Office
for your examination. The large number, as
well as great value of vouchers, accommodating in
space already too small, makes a speedy exami-
nation and disposal SO much more necessary and
urgent:
