The lecture delivered at Mad ison by
Rev. G. 1. Lester, before the Wisconsin
Teachers Association on "Religion in
Public Schools" was a mastery expo
sition of that subject. Physical develop
ment the learned lecturer claimed should
be the first thought of the parent. The
school has nothing to do with religious
culture and it should rid tie mind of
prejudice, not load it with it. Sectarian
schools are bad thing as they create pre-
iudices and children must live together,
grow up together aud think and vote
together. Bible reading has no place in
school. The lecture should be quite
generally circulated.

A FEW farmers of Cooperstown lately
went on little sprea together and the
fuller they became the more anxious were
they for boisterous amusement. They
concluded they would get up an i'm
promptu hanging affair. A rope was
secured and placed around the neck of
one of the party and then thrown over a
joisG III the ceiling. The rope was seized
by fellow who drew on it until the per-
son around whose neck it was was almost
choked to death. The crowd seeing to
what extent the play was going rescued
tie man from his perilous position, but
it took sons time to resuscitate him.
The best of il is he intends to she the
brutal fellow who drew upon the rope.
1t is hoped he will and that he will
recover heavy damages. When men act
Ike brutes they should be punished.

The Sheboygan Times in commenting
upon the Morris trial says regarding the
orgies at Dill's house; SIT is surprising
that 80 much moral rottenness could
exist in such community as was de
veloped during the trial, and not be dis
covered in 80 long time" That indeed
is matter which surprises every one.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

We find at the close Of the year that
our sales for 1886 are considerably above
those of 1885, and this in the face of low
values of goods and discouragingly low
prices of grain. The result is as crafty
to Us as it Wss unexpected, and We hereby
tender our thanks to the people of this
and adjoining counties, who patronized
Us 80 literally, and we wish all happy
and prosperous Lew year.

He was III semi-conscious state but was

has complained of feeling very tired snd
weak and he had been advised to taxi

His left side was totally paralyzed hav-
