LOCAL NEWS

Mr. James TROTTMANN, student of the State University, is home visiting friends and relations.

On Sunday the 22nd inst., Claus MEYER of the Apollo Hall will have a grand ball, and if the young folks wish to enjoy themselves they should not miss it.

A fine assortment of whips have arrived at the harness-shop of C. WILKE, and will be sold at cost. Call and examine them.

The law library of the late Senator Matt H. CARPENTER, which he kept insured for from $15,000 to $20,000 during his life time was sold for $7,000. His son retaining 500 volumes.

The ball at Herman SCHELLENBERG was well attended, and all those present seemed to enjoy themselves. Herman always manages to get a good crowd.

Mr. Gottlieb PFEIFFER, a competent miller, has become associated with The Wehausen Co. and they are now prepared to do all Custom Grinding, and also grind the best flour.

The Foundry of Wm. EMBRING that has been closed during the extreme cold weather, is open again. Mr. E. tells us that the kind of plows he is manufacturing partly here, and partly at Kirchhayn, are selling as fast as made; the farmers preferring them to any of those sent here from outside, and he only regrets he cannot make more of them.
************************
We hear a good many people growling about the continuance of the cold weather and that this is an extraordinary backward spring, etc. Granted, but we remember one spring just forty years ago when we had good sleighing here until after middle of April, and uninterrupted at that from the 7th day of November 1842. Last Saturday, on the 31st of March forty years ago, the village of Milwaukee had a grand celebration over the first appropriation for a harbor and the town of Mequon sent her quota of young men to swell the procession because we considered ourselves in Mequon, then the only somewhat settled town in Washington County, as belonging to the then village of Milwaukee.

The only horse team in the town belonged to the late Wm. F. OPITZ and the editor of the NEWS, with which we took twelve young men in a box sleigh to Milwaukee, and there was not then one spot of bare ground on the whole road from Mequon to Milwaukee, and never had been during the preceding five months. Coming to Milwaukee the horses were unharnessed and after being fed, the saddles were put on and OPITZ and ourselves, after being decorated with broad ribbons, etc. by the late Mrs. WIESNER, took our places in the procession which as near as we can remember was formed in front of the old Milwaukee House, where the Post Office now stands; we then marched down to LUDINGTON's store and from thence passed up East Water street, through the cut then just completed on Market square to Division street, thence across the red bridge to Chestnut street; thence along Third and West Water st. and across the ice from Spring street over to Wisconsin street, where we disbanded and nary saloon on the whole route to
brace up in, against the cold!
************************
On Thursday last, being the 29th day of March, our fellow townsman and head of the Cedarburg Woolen Mills, Diedrich WITTENBERG Esq.
celebrated his 49th birthday, in the circle of his family and relations.

The Cedarburg Music Band surprised him in the evening with a serenade and being invited into his hospitable mansion, played several fine pieces during the evening. Mr. W. received several birthday presents; and the only person holding back with her gift was his wife, who instead of presenting him on or before the expiration of 12 o'clock in the evening of that day with a twelve pound boy, did so a few hours later, so that the new comer did see the light of day on the 30th of March, a day later than his father did on the 29th of March 1834. Mother and child are doing well.

Diedrich WITTENBERG Esq. came to our office last week and wanted us to express his thanks through the NEWS, to the Cedarburg Music Band for the serenade and subsequent choice performances in his house on the occasion of his birthday. Through some mistake the matter was not put down at once in writing and overlooked in consequence; so we must make amends in this week's issue by returning Mr. Wís. thanks to the Corps and his wish, that all members may ever agree as harmoniously, as the pieces played on the occasion, at his residence.

Considerable of the time of the session was spent in a free interchange of opinion on dairy matters, and the business part of it, was an exact repetition of last year, -- that is, Messrs. Neils JACOBSEN, Wm. BROMBACH and J.A. SMITH, were chosen Salesmen, the latter being also Secretary, and Joseph ALBRECHT, Treasurer. The Cheese and Butter Manufacturer, is also the same, Mr. E.L. EASTMAN of Plymouth, who gave such good satisfaction, last year, that it was the unanimous wish of the patrons that he be retained. The factory will open Monday, the 23d of April.
