Yesterday was the birthday ami

he lived to the present time he would
have reached the age of 1873 years.
He died in his prime, at the age of
81. All public buildings in Wausau
as usual revered his memory by dis
playing the National colors, and all
public offices, banks, schools and the
library were closed for the day, on
account of its being legal holiday.
1t is truly said of Washington: she
was first in war, first in peace and
first in the hearts of his countrymen.
