One house was spared but the prostitutes were obliged to leave on the shortest notice.We arc glad to see our sister city taking efllcient steps to abate such nuisances, but a ghmcc at the statutes ot Wisconsin will show that there is a I way presented by law, to punish kecj ors of houses of ill-Came and frequent* i ers of the same.It is said that there is n house t f ill* fiinieat Frame du Chien : if this be* Jso, wo hope that law, and not an infti-viaUil swob, mil vfoit it wiiU justice.— | [ Prairie d» Chien Courier.
