Local politicians are now talking and thinking about
filling some city offices this spring. Let the best men be chosen, and don't
try to pick them all from one side of the river. When anyone tries to play hog
he generally "gets left."
The United Sates fish commission has succeeded in the
introduction of carp. At least 25,000 people have assisted in the planting of
carp in this country. This fish should soon become plenty in our markets.

Stamford, Conn., because he didn’t wear a collar.

Wm. Brierman, a saloon keeper from Forest Junction, came to
Ledyard this week, seemingly for the purpose of having a little fun, and
proceeded to fill up with intoxicants as the first step in this direction. His
next step was taken in another direction, and brought him into Justice Albers'
office, where it required the sum of $5.00 in hard cash to pay for his little
drunk, to say nothing of lodging overnight in the "little brown jug."
A minister forgot to take his sermon with him to church and
his wife discovering the mistake sent a small boy to deliver it to him. When
the boy returned for payment she asked him. “Did you deliver the sermon?” “No
mum,” he replied “I jus giv it to him, he’s a deliverin it himself.”

On March 25th, the Act of Legislature which consolidated
the two villages becomes a law and Kaukauna and Ledyard, thus bound together,
will never more be parted. The first city election will take place two weeks
later.
Connecticut set a good example in sentencing 3 bank
officers to hard labor in the state prison for 4 to 5 years for

The employees of the N.W. depot complain with just cause of
the men who come to that station and occupy the ladies' waiting room. Gentlemen
should remember that there is a room for them at the depot, and unless they are
accompanied by a lady, it would look better for them to wait there.

Charleston, W. Va., - People are in bad condition and on the verge of starvation. They are asking for bread. Animals are starving to death. The condition of the farmers is distressing. For months there has not been any rise in mountain streams that are used to bring timbers down. The winter was severe, and the people are poor and with no work.
