Peter, is rapidly recovering. An abscess
which was pressing on his brain broke and
since then he has not had any attacks. The
physicians were intending to trepan the

A special meeting of the board of educa-
ton was held in Judge Murdock's office on
Saturday evening, with all the members
present. Mr.. John S. Proctor, who had
served most acceptably on the board for
many years, handed in his resignation. This
was reluctantly accepted, as Mr.. Proctor is to
leave the city to take up his res
idence on his farm in Dakota. Regrets
were expressed by the various mem
bers of the board and appropriate resolutions
adopted. Mr.. L. Sargent was elected to fill
the vacancy till June, 1856.

being plain DRINKS, but two will have to an
swer to assault. One young man assaulted
a woman passing with little boy, but she
broke away from him, and giving her par
GELS to the boy after she passed, she went
back and knocked her assailant down. An
other man assaulted little boy because he
struck him playfully with a dipper, kicking
the little fve-year-old fellow severely. The
woman, with her two children, who went to
Mepomonee to her husband, for whom j. w.
Doe got ticket, was sent back here, as her
husband had returned to this city.
Only one day more and the city election
will be over and the council board will be
complete for another year. Two of the seats
are sure, Aid. Burke having no opposition in
the First ward or Aid. Nelson il the Third.
In the Second ward the contest is between
James P. Fitzgerald, Democrat, and r. w.
Kerr, Republican, and both claim they will
be elected 1t is in the mayoralty contest,
however, that the chief interest centers. The
present mayor, Mr.. Mathews, and Judge
Murdoch are gentlemen who stand high in
the community, and whichever is elected
the city will have a good head Of its mu-
picipai affairs Some bitter things are being
said. but only by the partiSans of the gen
tlemen, who are as good friends as any two
citizens can be: One or the other would I'M
doubtedly resign. but their friends will not
consent to such thing.
