Mr. Ernst ALTEN, who has secured a situation at the Capitol at Madison during sessionof the legislature, has been spending a few days at home.

Mr. Ernest G. MEMMLER, together with the local sports, is mourning the loss of avaluable dog. Judging by the expressions of the sports, the cur, although quite young,promised to cut a conspicuous figure either on the bench, or in the field or thepit.

The question agitating the inhabitants of this county is to find a suitable placefor the holding of the county fair. Should the fair be held at Port Washington, itwould not be patronized very much by the people from the southern towns, as it isvery inconvenient for them to get there. Around here they are mostly in favor ofCedarburg.

We heartily approve of the action of Hon. F. W. HORN at the legislature, in the KateBUSHNELL humbug. In regard to morality the State of Wisconsin will favorably comparewith any other state in the Union, and all attempts made by any hypocritical cranksto slander our commonwealth should promptly be rebuked. -- SCRIBBLER

Hon. Fred. W. HORN, M.A. and editor of the NEWS:
Dear Sir. In regard to the request by Mr. COTTER to have a new dog license law passed,I will give you in a few words, the opinion of farmers in general. The greatest nuisancein the dog line is the keeping of two or more of the canine species together, andexperience shows, that the greatest harm is done where two or more are together.The expressed opinion of farmers in this vicinity is that each farmer should be entitledto keep one dog free from any tax or license, but that the owner of more than oneshould pay an annual tax of five, ten, or more dollars, as the case may be.

The above was written coolly without prejudice or selfishness, because your correspondentis the happy owner of NO dog at all. -- N. E. B.

The Suit Against the Late Treasurer, Mr. AHLHAUSER and His Bondsmen

On our return home last Saturday, we found the following communication from the DistrictAttorney, Mr. SCHWIN, on our table, which will explain itself. We were in the hopesthat the matter would be brought on at the March term of the Circuit Court, but itwill have to go over until fall, under the rules of the Court. It is only stavingoff the evil day, unless the Legislature should come to the relief, of which thereis but very little hope. Members fear the precedent thus given, which will be themain cause of the defeat of the bill, if such should happen, although there havebeen one or two somewhat similar cases, where relief by the state was granted.

Friend HORN:
The case of Ozaukee county vs. William AHLHAUSER, et al. is not to be tried at theSpring term, as TURNER and TIMLIN att'ys for def's, served an order they got fromthe Court, on me, extending the time for them to answer twenty days from to-day.This is only to gain time and put it over the term. -- Yours, H.

EXCELSIOR MILLS IN RUINS
Fire destroys the large Flour Mill together with the Saw Mill at Cedar Falls earlylast Wednesday morning.

At an early hour last Wednesday, our quiet city was aroused by the alarm of the firebell. The firemen soon gathered at the engine house and in a short time were on theirway with their engine to the scene of the fire. When they arrived, it was found impossibleto save the mill, the fire having made too great a head-way, so their attention wasdirected to save the surrounding buildings.

The fire originated in the rear of the saw mill and must have been smoldering forhours before it was discovered. The flames from the saw mill, which is immediatelyback of the flour mill, soon swept through the rear windows of the flour ills whichwas ablaze and beyond all control in a short time; at about 9 o'clock nothing wasleft but the four massive stone walls, which were badly cracked from the intenseheat. Nothing was saved by the books which were secured in a safe and found afterthe fire. The stock on hand amounted to about $200 and was not insured. The millwas only insured at $500 and the loss on building and stock is estimated at $13,000.

TEACHERS' MEETING OF SAUKVILLE

The teacher of this county attended a two-day institute last week at Saukville in the new school house which building is indeed quite a spacious as well as a prettyone. The institute was conducted by Prof. GILLAN from the Milwaukee Normal School,relieved at times by Prof. ACKERMANN and Prof. BLONDEL, who rendered topics on 'practicaldrill' in Arithmetic, Ventilation of Schoolrooms and Word Analysis, respectively.In the evening of the first day's session, the room was perfectly crowded by personseager to hear the lecture to be delivered by Dr. STEARNS. The Doctor talked on “OurTeachers” clearly and precisely, giving an interesting account of the early historyof OBERLIN, PESTOLOZZI and FROEBEL; setting forth the necessity of the spontaneousgrowth of the child's mental faculties, thereby showing that a teacher, to be a successfulone, must have a definite knowledge of the needs and nature of a child. He used anumber of well-selected stories to illustrate his points.

The pleasantness of the afternoon session of the second day was somewhat marred byleaving of persons at different times so as to meet their trains. In the eveningof that day, immediately after the closing of the institute, Prof. GILLAN gave thoseyet present a very interesting account of his journey to Washington, D. C. and Mt.Vernon. Mr. FOSTER, of Port Washington, also delivered an address to the instituteon “Literature”.

Besides a number of visitors, seventy teachers out of a force of seventy-one werepresent. This indeed speaks well and needs no remarks. The summer institute willbe held, commencing July eighth, probably at the same place.

At the close of the institute, the following resolution was proposed and unanimouslyaccepted by the institute.

Resolved, that we, the members of this Institute, tender our sincere thanks to Mr.Dan. E. McGINLEY, for the great pains he has taken in appropriately decorating hisschool building and in doing every thing in his power to make the occasion agreeable.Kind recognition also is due Mr. AHLHAUSER, for the use of his piano and Messrs.ALBRECHT, BOERNER Bros. and others for the use of lamps, chairs, etc.
