WASHINGTON ISLAND, WISCONSIN.
By John G. Matteson
We have met some opposition from an infidel, who talks much of liberty, but is unwilling that others should enjoy the same. At a special school-meeting, eighteen voted against five, three of whom were the school Board, that we should use the school-house for meetings. But nevertheless, said infidel, being the clerk of the school Board, locked the house against us. The district then sent a petition to the county judge for the removal of the school Board, signed by twenty-nine voters. This trouble with the school-house has not hindered our meetings at all, for we have obtained another house, which is very convenient, and better located than the school-house. Some have commenced to obey the truth, and we still hope for others who manifest an interest to hear. We have had very mild weather the last three weeks. There is but little snow left. The cattle have commenced grazing in the fields. But to-day the winter has returned.
