SATURDAY, AUG. %, 1868.
A second edition of potato bugs
have made their appearance. More
greedy, if possible, than the previous
ones. Potatoes are nowhere, the bugs
are everywhere. This is about the
rinsa potato bugs first made their ap-
pearance in the pinery, and they all
but scared our people into fits.-Ed.)
The past was court week and there
was busy five days session. One
thing that speaks well for the moral
ity and civil conduct of our citizens is
that there were only three bills of in
dictment brought in by the grand
jury-one for unlawfully cutting of
timber; one for cutting the cables on
Jack Clarke's lumber, and one for
selling whiskey without license.
This is what the Pilot calls pretty
clean record. Among the legal gentle
men present from outside the city
were Hon. Thos. r. Hudd of Green
Bay; Hon. E. L. Brown of Waupaca;
Hon. G. L. Park, S. HI. Alban and
Geo. Hungerford of Stevens Point.
On MondaE night, Aug. 18th, 1868,
lightning struck a barn belonging to
Milo Kelly, Esq, in the town of Wes-
ton, setting fire to and consuming
same with all its contents, which in
cluded five tons of hay. There were
at the time seven men asleep in the
barn, all of whom escaped injury.
