MAN1TowoC, March 25, 1885.

Two RIVERS, in common with other
cities, cursed with bowling ours, passed
an ordinance taxing dogs. The treasury
didn't grow plethoric from this source of
revenue. The report of the pro Ger off
! Ger shows that one dog was taxed. But
"Hhat's his name, or where's his hame.
they dinna choose to tell" Perhaps
there Was only one kind of dog which
was to be taxed, aud be was one 10 mum
Der. 1t may be that Two Rivers has
only one dog and the honest pup paid
the fee which makes him law abiding
canine with privilege to live, and move
and have his bone. But what a sad eyed
pup he must be, the only survivor of a
grand army which yelped the midnight
chorus with unwavering fidelity. One
city, one dog, two dollars Oicense money.
That tells the tale of slaughter. Surely
this dog was preserved for some good
purpose and has a destiny to fulfill, else
he had shared the fate of his fellows
which no longer prowl il search of stray
bones and cold victuals, but sleep in
mounds of sand where tax collectors
never come.

The schools of this county need ap-
paratus very much. But in order to
make it of any value teachers should
learn how to use it. There are very few
pupils who quit school having any knowl-
edge of mathematical geography that will
lead them to continue their studies as al
amusement. There are go many phenom-
ena which hre interesting and ever pres
ent, and which little knowledge of
mathematical geography will make easily
understood, that it is too bad the schools
are not furnished with things needed for

torn up on the roller rink business.
Supt. Burton suggested that the rink
management be requested to exclude
school children from the rink during term
time. This was agreed to by 80 of the
81 teachers, one explaining that school
exercises in her room were greatly dis
turbed by young men coming to the
school to make engagements with girls of
IA or Is. When Mr.. Burton said it was
also proper that teachers be debarred
from attendance at the rink one lady
teacher objected strongly.

THE old weather prophets who judge
from signs predict three months OF north
west winds this spring. They reckon as
follows: the direction of the winds when
the sun crosses the equator determines
its direction for the next succeeding three
months. The sun crossed the equator
on Friday last and a good stiff nor wester
was blowing at that time. Ego. the
prevailing winds will be from that quar-
ter until June 90. The ice in the lakes
is by far better sign. Lake Erie is still
frozen over. Lakes Superior and On
tario have solid ice five feet thick and
Michigan is almost "chock ablock" with
floating ice. A late spring gentlemen.

The traveller over the Calumet road
in the town of Eaton about I6 miles from
Manitowoc, might have his attention
directed to a little log hut in a small
patch of woods on the banks of a branch
of the Manitowoc River. The little hut
had no window and was 80 completely
isolated and so small that the inference
that it was the abode of hermit was
natural No path led from it to the main
road and it was seldom that it's occupant
made himself visible to the passerby.
Occas onally, however, he emerged and
walked short distance with measured
step and melancholy air, as if once he had
been "crossed with hopeless love, or
pressed with ceaseless care" He had no
confidautas and tolerated no visitors.
He occasionally called at grocery store
aud made few small purchases, but
limited his conversation to the transact
ion of his limited business. The creek
which flowed hard by his little hut
furnished him drink and companionship.
Last fall his hut was destroyed by fire
and now he is a wanderer. But he
still wears his mystery as if it were his
birthrlght and is stranger in the land
in which he has lived so long.
