We haye au excellent school in
Brownville. Prof. Rich and his as
sistants are iastructors of superior
qualifications, and tiue children make
fine progress with their studies. One
of the most, esential qualifications for
a successful teacher to possess, is that
of acquiring and retaining the respect
and love of the scholars. A little
girl who goes to school in Brownville,
was asked recently if she participated
with others in certain conduct which
could not quite be approved of by her
teacher. "No, indeed ma," she ans
wered, "r think too much of my
teacher to do such a thing." How
much better tnat sounded to us than
had she said, "No I didn't, beconse I
was afraid the teacher would whip me
if I did."

The County Clerk has given notice

congratulate the Captain and hail the

"Business is business and fun is
fun," says some wise man, but who
it is besides this reporter that utters
the palpable fact, is no particular dif
ference; but that men and women
too we might add have gone out of
and from their place of business in
search of recreation, fun or pleasure,
when.Cas their after reflections told
them, it would have been much more
pleasurable and much les3 sorrowful
to them, had they staid at bdme and
attended more strictly to their own
business; and well, that's enough
of that.
Last Monday afternoon we saw
Dave Campbell walking up street to
wards the Probate Judge's office.
There might not have been anything
very strange in seeing Dave Camp
bell, or any other Campbell, walk In
the direction of Judge McComns' of
fice, had It not been for two other cir
cumstances, viz: Campbell is our city
Marshal (having the jurisdiction of a
Constable), and by his side, as he
gently walked towards the Judge's of
fice, was our friend and fellow-citizen,
B. S. Wall, sticking as closely to the
Marshal--or the Marshal to him, or
they to each other, as could reasona
bly be expected of a sandwich, or a
woman, or a Siamese twin. From
the fact that these gentlemen were
"advancing Forward" towards the
Doctor's office, where he administers
the law in homcepathic, or allopathic
doses, as the case may require; and,
from the further fact that our report
er had procured an inkling of some
body having shot at a hog-drover, and
from the further fact that our report
er was desperately on the alert for lo
cal news, he, with the expertness of
practice, put " this and that" togeth
er, and, whistling beautifully, " The
Campbell's a coming," &c, followed
the Marshal and Mr. Wall into the
Probate Judge's office. Here Mr.
Wall was arraigned for a preliminary
trial upon the serious cbargo of wil
fully and maliciously shooting at
a Mr. McCoy or a Mr. Blair, or both.
Mr. Wall pleaded " Not guilty:"
Our undestanding of the case is as
follows :
Last Friday Mr. Wall and Mr. L.
D. Robinson took a buggy ride to
gether to Aspinwall. When return
ing, in the evening about dark, they
overtook, in the suburbs of Brown
ville, one of the McCoy boys and
Mr. Blair, with a few hogs which
they were driving for the Brownville
market. The testimony of the young
man McCoy and his companion Blair,
was, in subntance, that near the brick
yard just below town, they were dis
mounted from their ponies, driving
their hogs slowly through the snow,
when the team of Wall and Robinson
came rushing upon them, and so
closely that one of the horses of the
buggy stepped Upon McCoy, "skin
ning his heel," and endangering a
stampede of the hog. Upon this,
McCoy attempted to remonstrate with
the driver, Mr. Wall, remarking that
it would be acting gentlemanly to
drive around the hogs, as it would be
difficult to turn them from the road
into the deep snow. Wall, at this,
drev a pistol, and pointing it at Mc
Coy, said, " You say you wod't let us
pass, you d n son of a b ?" The
team passed on, and just as it got
past the two hog men, and while they
were hunting on the right hand
side to get the hogs back into the
road, Wall fired his pistol off. and so
nearly at them, judging from the
muzzle blaze, as to endanger their
lives These witnesses further testi
fied that they did not know positive
ly who the parties in the buggy were
at the time the assult was made, but
that they followed it up closely and
when it stopped at Tuttle & Speery's
livery stable, easily identified Mr.
Wall, by his voice, as the person with
whom they had the difficulty a few
minutes before: and that within a
short time they met in a saloon when
Wall made overtures for settling their
trouble.
The elder McCoy, father of the one
who had been driving .the hogs, testi
fied that he, thearing of the affair,
sought out Mr. Wall atid called for an
explanation, soon after its occurrence,
and that in their interview Wall ac
knowledged that he did shoot off his
pistol, but did not have any intention
whatever of hitting anybody. This
was the gist of the evidence for the
State.
For the defense, the prisoner, Wall,
did not contradict, or deny, the evi
dence for the prosecution, except in
this: He denied drawing a revolver
or pistol, or shooting off" a pistol, or
even having any pistol, of any kind,
with him at the time and place indi
cated, and also denied having any
conversation or passing any words
with either McCoy or Blair; and did
not remember telling the old gentle
man McCoy that he had discharged a
pistol, &c.
Mt. Robinson testified that he was
not aware of any words having pass
ed between Wall, McCoy and Blair,
that if Wall had a pistol with him he
did not know it; that he heard what
he supposed to be a popgun close to
the buggy but could not swear as to
who popped it.
W. T. Rogers, Etq., conducted the
case for the defendant, and the elder
McCoy asked the questions In behalf
of the State.
Mr. Wall was required to give bond
in the sum of $300,00 for hi3 appear
ance at the District Court, which
he gave.

The past week has not been entire
ly void of interest, although we have
had snow upon top of snow, until ev
erybody seemed satisfied we had a
sufficient quantity for the present.
Even Paddy Mullen, the male siren
from the Emerald Isle, says: " Hold,
bejasus, tis enough to soften and mix
up all the bloody gumbo in Welps."
On Wednesday evening, the 4th
inst., the Masonic fraternity had an
interesting couvocatiorf at their Hall,
in this place, for the purpose of in
stalling the newly elected officers of
the Chapter, and also of the Council
of R. and S. M., the ceremonies of
which were conducted by your wor
thy fellow townsman, Dr. Jno. Blake,
in his usual Impressive style. The
Dr, stands very high herein the esti
mation of the fraternity, as a gentle
man and Mason, having served the
Chapter as first High Priest while un
der dispensation. He seems as one of
our own family, and not only that,
but-tbe head. Among the distin
guished visitors from abroad, was W.
A. Putney, of Hamburg, Iowa, editor
of the Freemont County Times."
Putney is young in years and appear
ance, but old as an editor, and sends
out one of the best Republican papers
published in his State
Shipments have been light the
past week, In car lots, about fifteen
cars, I think, covers the amount,
which has been hogs for the Chicago
market, by Thompson, Judge Ber
tram, and J. Gould Tate, the hog
chiefs of the county.
Business, generally, seems good.
Ous merchants, from appearancesare
getting away with large quantities of
good, and I presume they get paid
for them, as they keep bringing them
on. The hardware, or retail liquor
traffic, io not as lively as it was two
weeks ago, before Court met, owing,
I suppose, to an impairment of capi
tal of the gentlemen engaged in that
branch of trade, having been called
on by Judge Kelly, during term, to
contribute liberally to the Common
School fund of the county. The boys
responded, and came down like little
men. I see no good reason why that
branch of trade should be callod up
on to contribute to such purposes in
preference to others, but I suppose
there is a cause for everything.
