A MATTER OF OPINION. -Sometime
ago the Milwaukee Sunday Telegraph
bitterly attacked Barnes History, a
textbook quite generally used in the
public schools, charging that it was of
rebel procliyit'es and unfair toward the
Union cause. Recently Prof G. L.
Harper, county superintendent of
schools and gentleman whose Repub-
licanism is slice off the same water
melon as Gen. Logan's, had his atten-
ton called to the matter, and he said:
Eyes, know of the article in the SUM-
day Telegraph, and was sorry to see it,
because Barnes History is the best one
we have" As no other Republican pa
per that comes to our table has been
shocked by the rebel proclivities discoy-
cred by Mr.. Watrous, and as we have
never discovered anything of the sort
ourself, it is barely possible that The
Telegraph IS mistaken.

HIGHWAY RoBBERY.-Wm. O'Brien
was brought in from Glen Haven on
Thursday last by Officer Adolph Lau-
fenburg, delivered into the custody of
the sheriff and arraigned before Justice
I. T. Baldwin on Friday morning last.
O'Brien stated that he was not ready
for trial, as he desired the attendance of
two witnesses. and the case was adj
journed until Monday, Jan. IL. A large
number of witnesses were present on
both occasions, but at the second ar
raignment O'Brien pleaded poverty,
saying he was unable to fee lawyer,
and rather than prejudice his case by
attempting his own defense he conclud-
ed to waive examination. His bail was
fixed at $500, but being unable to furn-
ish the sum he was committed to iall
to await trial at the circuit court The
victim of o. Brien's assault is VIM. III.
Smelling, resident of Glen Haven, and
his person exhibited strong evidence of
the desperate character of his encounter
with the assailant. The prisoner O. Brien
is resident of st. Paul, q native of
OHIO, aged Fl years and by occupation
cook. He is feet 10 inches in height,
weighs 184 pounds, has black hair,
brown whiskers and small mustache.
dark complexion. brown eyes, and car
ries two scars on the back of his head
His motions are quick and nervous, and
there is suspicion that he may be
wanted elsewhere on more serious
charge. The people of Glen Haven
have for some time stood in dread of
the rough characters recently coming
into their midst, and have taken the
right course to suppress acts of this
nature.

CoLD-Saturday last was moderate
~ cold day, with the thermometer 16 de-
grees below zero; but it made one al
most perspire to think that at the sa
time it was 4S degrees below at st. Vim
cent, Mimi, and not much above that
anywhere in Minnesota or Dakota. The
storm seems to have been general
throughout the world, a large number
OF vessels being wrecked on the Eng
lish coast and many of their crews
drowned. The road between Sioux CITY
and Omaha was blocked. and many
members of the Iowa legislature were
prevented from reaching the capital.
The cold wave extended farther south
than any previous one since the cold
snap OF 1872, and Mobile dispatch
says that two persons had been found
in the streets badly frozen. On Sunday
morning the severity of the weather
reached its climax. the mercury in diff
ferent parts of this city indicating 80 to
~ below. and had only moderated a
few degrees on Monday. The drifting
snow impeded railroad traffic to such an
extent that tho express due here at 7:15
on Saturday evening last did not reach
here until Sunday morning.

VINO WAS lrP-On Wednesday eye-
ming last there was the best possible
evidence that Geo. w. Clark, although
on the list of prohibited persons, had
obtained liquor in considerable quanti-
ties from some unknown person or per-
sons. When interviewed on the subject
the following day, he refused to reveal
the name of the transgressor, and was
accordingly committed to Jail until such
time as he should give the required in
formation. He remained in custody
from 10 o'clock in the morning till 1880
IN the evening, whom he concluded to
reveal the identity of the party, and
was released. The name of the person
is withheld for the present for pruden-
tial reasons.

at the house of Mrs. j. Allen Barber.
The paper, by Mrs. w. G. Chandler,
was On the subject of American Poetry.

lutte music accompanied by Mrs.

AN IMPORTANT INDUSTRY
the leading industry of Lancaster-ce
tainly the leading manufacturing indus
try-is that OF George and Robert
Brooker, located in we'll appointed
building near the depot. 1t comprises,
principally, the manufacture of hoops,
doors, sash and blinds, holdings,
matched lumber, plate glass fronts for
stores, butter tubs, and has in connec-
ton feed mill for grinding feed from
oats, corn, rye and barley and the man
ufacture of Graham flour. These vari-
Gus departments employ twelve hands.
whose weekly wage is certainly an
item in the trade of the city. At present,
however, the works are closed for two
weeks in order to enable the putting in
OF large band saw, with which Messrs.
Brooker Bros. purpose adding still an
other article to their varied line of
manufactures, viz: white ash slaves for
butter tubs. Hitherto this wood, some
what abundant in this vicinity, has been
used only for firewood, but this initiatory
move on the part of these enterprising
gentlemen will give to it an added val.
us. Last year this firm paid out $l2,-
900 for hoops, of which they manufac-
tured $4,000 at their factory-many
being already manufactured when pur-
chased. The attention of our readers
who are interested in this industry is
directed to the market quotations for
hoops, in our commercial column,
which is corrected by this firm and can
be relied upon for correct prices. The
factory is provided with powerful en-
CINE for driving its various machines.
AS a whole it is an industry highly
beneficial to Lancaster and an import
ant factor in the general business.

The Prison Press. We are plea sed
to find on our table copy of the Prison

how the editor must chafe when he
hears OF murder or suicide several
miles out in the country and can't pos
sibly get away to make diagram OF
the scene.
