A PROCLAMATION.

In compliance with request OF the
committee having In charge the general
picnic TO be held in the grove east OF
the city, suggest that all places OF bus.

urday, August IA, between the hours OF
10 o'clock a. m. and 3 o'clock p. m. 1t
is desired to make this occasion grand
fete day for all our citizens; and mas
much as the several factories OF the
city are to close II seems only fitting
that business be generally suspended
in honor OF this picnic OF the people.
The coming together of all the citi-
zens OF Bedding in a general celebration
OF this kind can not be otherwise than
conductive to the best interests and
mutual good fellowship OF all.

"Villany, my boy, when once discov-
cred, is irretrievable; the stains which
this leaves behind, no time will wash
away. The censures of mankind will
pursue the wretch, their scorn will
abash him in public; and if shame
drives him into retirement, he will go
TO it with all those terrors with which
a weary child, who is afraid of hobgob
Inns, retreats from company to go to bed
alone. Here his murdered conscience
will haunt him. Repose, like false
friend, will fly from him. Whenever
he turns his eye, horror presents itself;
if he looks backward, unavailing re-
pentance treads on his heels; if forward,
incurable despair stares him in the
face; till, like condemned prisoner
confined in IA dungeon, he detests his
present condition, and yet breads the
consequences of that hour which is to
relieve him from it. Fielding.

1t is not necessary that man, TO be
able to benefit his kind, must have
commanding genius or be the possessor
of great wealth. Persons so endowed,
have it is rue, occasionally been ben
efactors of mankind, but the majority
of such people have not. But every
man, even the humblest in intellect
and fortune, by simply doing his duty,
is benefting mankind, not alone by
the influence OF his example, but in re-
lieving the community in which he
lives of certain amount of response.

The greatest man is he who chooses
the right with invincible resolution
who resists the sorest temptations from
within and without; who bears the
heaviest burdens cheerfully; who is
calmest in storms and whose reliance
on truth, on virtue, on God, is most un-
faltering.

Kenosha Business Men Will try to Have a
Line of Boats Stop Here.
A number of Kenosha business men
held meeting at the Grant house
Tuesday night to see what could be
done toward having a line of boats
stop at Kenosha, the main object being
to give us another freight and express
line. After some discussion it was de-
cided to have number of Kenosha's
leading men form committee, and on
Friday next go to Milwaukee and call
on the management of the Hurson line
of steamers, which ply between Chica-
go and Milwaukee, and lay the case
before them. showing the advantages
to be gained by them in stopping daily
at Kenosha, and thus adding largely to
their freight and passenger receipts.
1t is to be hoped that the gentlemen
will succeed, as they undoubtedly will
when the Hurson company find out the
large amount of business they could do
in Kenosha.

ornamental.
So far as heard from, none of our Cit

In last weeks issue l saw request
for a correspondent from Truesdell. 1t
will be surprising if some bright young
person does not hasten to respond to
the request. To chronicle the events
of a rural neighborhood does not re-
quire a master mind, and tits good
practice for any one who yearns for a
literary career. A correspondent
should bear in mind that the editors
aim is to make friends, not enemies,
and therefore avoid items of personal
nature that would give ofense if pub
lished. Be careful and get names and
dates absolutely correct. If short OF
items they may be embellished in a
more or less graphic style according to
the ability of the writer, and the proof
reader may be trusted to correct minor
defects
The regular Sunday morning scrap

Meeting of Eastern Teachers Association.

Meeting of Eastern Teachers Association.
The eastern teachers held the last
meeting of the season last Saturday at
Pleasant Prairie. Though the attend
ance at many of the meetings has been
small, much good work has been ac-
complished during the past year, and
those who failed to attend are the
losers. Literature, pedagogy, algebra,
end other subjects have been cOnsid-
cred and discussed at the various ses-
sions in order that teachers may be
better prepared for their school work
A continuation of this course if pursued
next year will enable applicants to pass
better examinations, and thus furnish
the county with higher grade of
teachers. The county superintendent
has the support of the best teachers in
his attempt to raise the standard of
qualifications.
Those who attended the last meeting
were Misses Annie and Hattie Butcher,
Barter, Bishop, Hand, Frisbie, McNa-
mara and Messrs. Maloney, Better,
Harness, Shearer, Costello, Tailor and
Mcneil.
Matters Of interest concerning future
examinations, N. E. A., institute, etc.,
were freely considered.
