--The Manawa department of the New Lo.mlon Times, has for several weeks past been conducted by number of gentlemen nt Manawa who are making a very interesting department of their page. --J. W. Coon, employed on Bro.Stark's paper, the Berlin Journal, was inthecity on Saturday and made us a pleasant call. Mr.

Coon says the granite quary near that city is a valuable find. Last month's pay roll was 813,000. --A, G. Gate hasmadeaverynoticeable improvement in the post-office by having the interior painted and varnished. He has also taken out the old glass and had the boxes re-numbered and painted on the inside of the delivery.

--A squad of Knights Templar had a drill on the street, and in A. E. Bosworth's Main street grounds, Thursday evening, under the direction of Captain General R. M. Gribwold.

This was their first out-door exercise, and the drill was finite creditable. --We received a pleasant letter from Robert Langdon this week in which he expresses himself well pleased with Hurley. He says they have 67 business places all two story buildings. We are to learn that I. Brill's Son's are doing ft nice business in that live burg.

--Clay has been hauled on the walks in the Court House yard, and we understand it is the intention to put on a covering of gravel. We will have to waitun- til the work is completed before we can decide whether it is an improvement, or the reverse. At the present writing it looks like the reverse. --The North Star Mills this week received eight car loads of white winter wheat direct from Washington territory, being the first shipment ever made from that territory to Stevens Point. The quality of the wheat was very fine, and cost, laid down here, from 84- to cents per bushel.

--N. Boyington recently purchased forty-three ncres of land and five lots of Andrew Warren, being all the real estate he owned in the city. Thirty-five acres of the purchase lies north of Main street, being the remainder of the forty out of which E. I). Brown's five-acre homestead waa taken.

Frank Pollard, deceased, both exceedingly creditable productions.

Mr. Pa.tens' work in always first-class. --While in the city on Saturday last, L. F. Parkiil 01 Vista, made us a pleasant call and talked over old times in Point.

Mr. Parkiil is one of the oldest settlers in Portage County. He came to Stevens Point in and gives interesting accounts of those early pioneer days. --Dr. Jesse Smith the practical, expert on Clark street has for years made a close study of hi.s business and it is therefore not surprising that he has become exceedingly adept in all branches of the profession--extracting, filling and making.

His office and reMilenee are under one roof and those needinghis services will always find him at home. Opposite Jacobs House on Clark street. Coleman and Hon. T. W.

Anderson went to Rhinelander the first of the week. Mr. Anderson has an interest in the water power at that place, and the visit of himself and Mr. E. I).

Brown was for the purpose of consulting with parties who contemplate the erection of a pulp and paper mill there. Mr. Coleman went to look the water-power over, thinking perhaps Coleman, Jackson might desire to secure a place for another flouring mill. --Andrew Kreitzer came down from Black Creek Flails, Marathon on Monday evening being to testify in a suit between the Stevens Point Boom and Thomas Wilcox tried at Grand Rapids this week. Andrew is now employed by Johnson, Reitbrock Halsey, who own large tracts of land in that vicinity, and have an office there.

He is town clerk, insurance agent and justice of the peace. Andrew's court is the highest court in that section. --George Patch has concluded to give the apiary business another trial, and last week received halt a dozen swarms of bees from Louisiana. He has twokinds, one known as the Camiolan and the other a cross between the Italian, Syrian and Holy Land bees. It will be remembered that last fall he lost liin entire stock from a disease known as foul brood, but has since scorched out his hives and taken other precautions to prevent the new comers from being afflicted with a like malady.

--Jerome Nelson, the miller, was in the city on Tuesday. Mr. Nelson is now overhauling his flouring mills, at ville and just below Amherst. The im- pro vementswill amount tothe remoddling of both mills, putting in new centrifugal reels, dust collectors, aspirators, and other machines of the most approved design. He will also make other changes for convenience in handling grain.

Mr. Nelson never spares expenses in the way of new machinery, but is always up with the times in improvements, which accounts for the excellence of the flour made at his mills. --The condition of the privies at the school buildings ought not to be such as to call for public comment iu a newspaper. At the request of some of the teachers the JomxAL has before called the attention of the Board to the condition of some of these outbuildings, but it does not seem to have had the desired effect. The condition of the privies at the First and Third Ward buildings are simply disgraceful.

They are filthy, and too small for a proper separation of the sexes. During the approaching vacation, the Board may possibly make the necessary improvements, but if it does not, then it will become the duty of the Board of health to abate these nuisances. --J. W. Wicker, under sheriff of Marathon county, and C.

E. Eldred, city marshal at Hurley, came down on Saturday evening in search of oue Richard Glynn, for whom they had a warrant for stealing and a gold watch. They found their man at the depot and in a few moments he was safely behind the bars in Cal's cooler. The prisoner was rather a pleasant looking mim and claimed would be able to clear himself upon his return. He had been in partnership with a man and drew out his phare and said he could prove he had yet So.OO coming to him.

No doubt he would have got the other five had there been any more money in the concern. Mr. Wicker has been down this way several times and always gets his man. --Hugh Evans, of Amherst Junction, called at our office last Saturday to give the name of Onesime Rondeau, as one of the soldier dead buried in Union cemetery. The body of Rondeau was found in the Wisconsin river, about a mile below the city, in June 1873.

At a subsequent inquest the jury, after a superficial inquiry, rendered a verdict that he committed suicide, but it was at that time and is yet, believed by many that he was murdered. Rondeau was formerly color bearer of the 7th Wisconsin, and those who served with him say there was no braver man in the army. Mr. Evans, himself a brave soldier and twice wounded, who went out with him in what was known as the Grand Rapids Union Guards, thinks it is a shame that a man who held the old Hag aloft on so many bloody fields, and was compliment ed in special orders for his bravery, should now fill an unmarked gravejn the Potter's field. And so it is.

It will be used in the main to store grain, feed, but will also contain some machinery, which will increase the capacity of their mill considerably. --Miss Jones, whose name it will be seen does not appear in the list of teachers engaged for next year, would undoubtedly have been retained, but for the fact that she had previously declined a re-engagement. She has taught in our city schools for the last six years, and is an excellent teacher. We understand she expects to go south. --The trial of William Netzer, John Kuklinski and W.

J. Holmes, charged with using dynamite for the destruction of trout in the Little Plover river, took place before Justice Cooley at Plover, last Wednesday. All were found guilty and each was fined the highest penalty under the law.

By taking out a partition the dining room has been increased to nearly double its former size and the room handsomely papered. The bed rooms have been re- iimished and every room in the house painted and papered. Messrs.

Lamphere Eldridge, who are doing the work, have jeen painting the outside thisweek. Mr. 'assiday is having a new bus made and when completed will carry passengers to and from the depot. --On Friday of last week, while driving along the road about two miles north of Poland Corners, Mr. Wells, agent for the D.

M. Osbom Machinery and Edwin S. Kaye, agent for R. A. Cook saw a huge snake crossing the road.

They tied their horse and securing two fence rails proceeded to dispatch the monster which upon being pinned down to the ground by one of the rails fought very savagely until a well directed blow put an end to its fury. The snake was dark in color with bright spots and measured feet and was as large around as a man's arm. --A. Guenther of Knowlton, was in the city on Thursday to show what could be done with Smith's patent stump puller, for which he owns the right for this county. He set the machine on the Central Wisconsin Fair Grounds and pulled a number of stumps.

The machine is convenient to handle, and two men can move it from one setting to another. Mr. G. says he can pull 100 stumps in a day with three men and a horse. The price of the machine, rope iron spool, is S100.

We understand considerable stumping has been done with these machines in the vicinity of Knowlton. --We visited the Stevens Point Manufacturing Company's works yesterday and were surprised at the amount of business the concern is transacting. The Company employ at present from 40 to 45 hands and are running full time. A visit to their works is very interesting to any one who takes an interest in seeing the wheels go round. They have just finished the bill of a large church in Dakota, and are now at work on a store front to be shipped to the interior of Kansas.

About 15 hands are kept busy upon local work, which is brisk, and increasing rapidly. The management is putting forth every effort to make this establishment the most complete in this section of the country, in every respect. They have some 50 varieties of colored glass in stock, and we were greatly surprised at the cheapness of this variety of work, which adds so pretty an effect to our houses. The Company is now prepared to do anything in the line of wood work for building purposes. They are pleased to see visitors at all times.

The Wisconsin Central line deserves credit for the manner in which they get their trains started when called on to run fire engines. On Monday, when asked for engine and cars, they were placed at their dtepoHul immediately, and in un hour from the time the steamer was ordered it wiie on its way to Wausau. MEMORIAL SERVICES. The arrangements of Stevens Point Post, G. A.

for next Monday are far completed as is possible at this time. The Post will meet at its headquarters at 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon, and it is hoped every member will be present. It will leave the hall at 2 o'clock and march to the Union Cemetery, where the graves of the soldier dead buried there will be decorated by the committee and a party of eight girls selected for that purpose.

BRILL'S SOBT. Arrested for Rape. On Thursday warrants-were issued, upon the complaint of District Attorney Calkins, for the arrest of Charles Hoeffel, the keeper of a brothel at Marshfield, and Charles E. Crocket, proprietor of the same kind' of an institution just east of this city, both of whom are charged with having committed rape upon an Indian woman and Indian girl, on the night of the loth of last February. The offense is alleged to have been committed at the brothel near this city.

The statement of the Indian woman is to the effect that on the night above mentioned she and the girl, the latter being aged about 14 years, went into Crocket's house to warm themselves; that Crocket suggested that they take a hot drink, which Hoeffel, his bar-keeper, prepared and gave to them. That afterwards they were both criminally assaulted, and most brutally treated. They left the house sometime during the night, but the girl did not live to reach the Indian camp. Her dead body was found by members of her tribe, the next morning, as we understand, not far from the old race track. The remains were taken to Hatley and buried, but were exhumed last Monday, and a post mortem examination made by Dr.

Phillips of this city and Dr. Win. Wiley of Wausau, the result of which will probably be brought out at the preliminary examination of the accused. Hoeifel was arrested at Marshfield on Friday forenoon by Under Sheriff C. D.

Bichmond, and is now in jail here. It was expected Crocket would be taken into custody Friday afternoon. for Decoration Oar. All are invited to contribute bouquets and flowers for Decoration Day. They should be left, not later than 11 o'clock next Monday morning at either of the following places: In the First Ward at.the residence of E.

B. Grant; in Second Ward at the residence of E. M. Grisold; in Third Ward at the residence of L. M.

Addleman; in Fourth Ward, at the store of Jonas White. Bouquets contributed for any particular grave, should be marked with the name of deceased. Those furnishing flowers, or as many as can, are requested to make them into neat bouquets. The Corner J. P.
