A LAUGHABLE incident took place {

A LAUGHABLE incident took place at
the teachers meeting at Two Rivers on
Saturday last. One of the principals had
read paper, the last on the programme.
The paper was good one and there was
a few minutes hesitation on the part of
those present to offer any comments
when the president announced that the
paper was open for discussion. Another
gentleman present who had taken an act
i've part in the discussion of preceding
papers, assumed that the silence indicated
there would be no discussion of the
paper. and, as he had a matter on which he
wished the Association to take action, he
addressed the chair and proceeded 10
urge the teachers to sign petition to
the legislature for the establishment of
an institution for the feeble minded.
The principal whose paper seemed to be
under discussion has not heard the last
of the joke on him yet and is seeking
disclaimer from his apparent critic.

BERLIN, Germany, Jan. Is, 1880.
Ptlot:-I have been a patient in the
Krause Clinik for the past two weeks,
undergoing treatment for lung trouble.
L have thus far received three injections
of koch's lymph; my system shows re-
action each time in rise of temperature,
etc. The third injection caused severe
hemorrhage and | am now very weak and
nervous, have been kept in bed for near
ly week, not allowed to speak or move.

chunks of ice. To-day L am sitting up
and feel better. [ shall try to gain suffi-
Gent strength and return to America
where DIR. Schweichler Will continue the
treatment on me, providing We can OBJ
tain the precious lymph, which at pre-
sent seems almost impossible. | would
advise no patient if far advanced to come
to Berlin as it is impossible for foreigner
to get admission in any public hospital,
and his only resource is to a private
Clinik, who are making hay while the
sun shines by charging exorbltant
prices. The consumptive patients here
who have been under treatment two
months show an improved condition and
it will take months to effect cure The
patient lying next bed to me died very
suddenly one day last week-quite a
shock to me as l was talking to him only
a short time before. DR.. Schwechler is
pursuing his studies vigorously and feels
amply repaid in learning the methods in
medicine employed here.

DEATH OF J. w. TOOMBS.

J. w. Toombs of this city committed
suicide this morning by hanging himself
to rafter in his barn. His workman,
VIM. Kempton, discovered him suspend
ed, but was so badly frightened that he
did not at once cut him down. l.. j.
Nash was passing at the time and at
once cut the rope, but though the body
was warm, life was extinct. The deed
was done with determined viii power, as
his feet were resting on the floor with his
knees bent, so that the mere erection OF
the body would have removed the strain
from the rope
There can be no doubt that Mr.. Toombs
was suffering from mental alteration
For some time he has been respondent,
and the last few months gloomy, avoiding
every one and taking unfrequented streets
to the dock of the Goodrich Co. He had
from the service of the company and this
preyed upon him. Some OF the officers
of the company were In the city yester-
day and no doubt this fact added to Mr..
Toombs' fears and intensified his malady
Re was for years the agent of the
Goodrich Co. at this place, and years ago
vas clerk on one of their boats. He
served as county clerk and superintend-
ent of schools of this county. he was
man of the kindliest disposition, strictly
honest in all his dealings with men, and
faithful to every trust reposed in him.
He had no enemies and was held in high
esteem by all who knew him. He was
about 20 years old, but aged very slowly,
until within the last two years.

The apportionment to be made by the
legislature this year will be on the basis
of one assemblyman for $500 inhabi-
tants and one senator for 81, 900. While
Kewaunee and Manitowoc counties
will have the requisite population to
form a senatorial district, they have not
sufficient population to form four assem-
bly, districts and too much for three. No
additional territory can be taken from
any other county to maize up a popula-
tion sufficient for four assemblymen
without also including it in the senator
ial district as the constitution prohibits
the division of any assembly district in
the formation OF senatorial district.
Dropping Kewaunee and taking in Calu-
met will not aid matters as the popula-
ton of Calumet is not much more than
that O, Kewaunee. The latter county
will form an assembly district in itself,
having just about the population needed.
1t is possible that the legislature may
form senatorial district by carving 2
sufficient quantity from Sheboygan
county which when added to Manitowoc
county will make a senatorial and four
assembly districts. Or couple of towns
from Brown county may be thrown in"
to enlarge the territory of the districts as
arranged at present, or, worst of all.
Ma4Iito voc county may be divided into
two assembly districts.

On Sundey last some person south of
here, either as practical joke or by way
of practicing on the wires, telegraph
ed a long dispatch giving an account
OF a terrible earthquake in Rome. The
operators at Two Rivers and Ahnapee
were startled by the news and their
amazement grew when the dispatch
went on to say that hundreds of thou
sands of people were swallowed up by
the earthquake. The news spread like
wild-fre and one clergyman in Two
Rivers instead of his regular sermon,
spoke of the awful calamity which had
visited the Imperial City. The telegraph
Office at this place was beseiged for news
and when Mr.. Delano replied that the
whole thing was fake and that he had
given no attention to the matter think
ing it was such, he was disbelieyed.
Even Senator Nash was deceived and
missed his train on Monday in his .anxi-
ETY. to get the news written up for his
paper before leaving for Madison. He
finally concluded there was something
fraudulent in the dispatch and came to
Manitowoc by team so that he might
take train for Milwaukee. Riding
distance of six miles IN a storm because
of the bogus news, gave him the impress
sion that the joke was rather poor speci.
