Washington County. —lt was tho’t
by many that the people of this county
would disregard and nullify the decision
of the Supreme Court—affirming the
constitutionality of the act to divide
Washington and create the county of
Ozaukee—and thus occasion trouble to
the authorities of the State. We are
pleased to learn the nullificrs are fast
Receding from their untenable position
and the County Board have taken the
initiatory steps for the erection of the
necessary buildings, that all the county
officers have fully entered upon the dis
charge of their public duties, and that a
majority of the people are in favor of
sustaining law- and order. So that we
may look upon the Washington county
Seat Question” as forever disposed of.

New Kind of Telescope. —A Mr.
Long, from Virginia, related, at the re
cent World’s Temperance Convention,
this amusing anecdote :—A liquor seller
in our State, feeling some compunction,
went to a temperate gentleman, and as
ked him what he should do to have some
chance of expiating the consequences of
his evil ways. “Go and make a teles
cope,” said the gentleman. “A teles
cope ! what can I do with one, and how
can I make it ?” asked the liquor seller.
“Well, unless you do you will never get
a glimpse of Heaven,” was the reply.
