Wisconsin Weather. This, up t
date, has been one of the most remarks. ,
bly seasons ever known ' to the oldest

roses were in full bloom the second time,
on our farms; lilacs were budded, and
nearly in bloom., A few dsys since, Mr.
Ezra Beebe brought into our office a clus
ter of grapes of second growth, as large
as good-sized peas. Cattle are still feed- '

Husbands. It has been decided hj tbe
Superior Court, in Cincinnati, that a wife
has a vested right in her husband's soci
ety and companionship, and can maintain .
an action lor damages tor the loss thereof.
It appears that, tbe husband bad aa
adopted daughter who was married, and
gradually be absented bisaself from bin '
own house until, at last, be resided per
manently with those people. The wife.
brought suit against ner husband and ton
other two for damages for tbe loss of hia
company and society. Upon demurrer
the Court ruled that tbe action would not
lie as against her husband, but her right
of action against those who drew away ;
and harbored her husband was indispu
table. Persons will, therefore, take no
tice that if they harbor husbands they
are liable to the wives for damages. : ,

Under the above title tbe last Punchi
nello has an illustrated hit at "Silver
Weddings." The illustration represents
a bald-headed, spectacled old bufier in the
act of writing, while bis Joan, a shrewd- -looking
elder party, is looking- on and
helping him figure up tbe probable profits
of their silver wedding, which is close at
hand The masculine party, looking up
from his writing, speaks : "My dear,;
I've hired a a Bplendid, tea-service for
Brown to present us ; it will make quite .
a sensation, and I've got it cheap for the.
evening." Of course the whole thing is
simply a malicious inrinnation. Such,
things cannot occur in our f best society."

stands hampion of the list. , -
The New York Timet gives figures to
show that the Democratic triumph in
