Last week Mr. John DOBERPHUL sold some of his spring wheat, which weighed 62 lbs. to a bushel, and nearly all farmers in this vicinity claim that their wheat will weigh at least 61 lbs. We hope farmers won't growl this year by saying their crop was a failure.

A whirligig was in our town for a few days last week, located on SCHROEDER's square, and it seemed to be an enjoyment for the little children to ride on.

Our neighbor Mr. Jacob FROEHLICH, who has purchased from us some sixteen years ago the lot south of our residence with the office situated on the premises, has lately moved that building back and added a very fine new front to the same with large windows and glass doors. As soon as fully completed, Mr. FROELICH intends to open a first class boot and shoe store in the same; and as no one understands the business better than he does, he will not be deceived in purchasing his stock of goods, which is an all important item. People patronizing the new store are sure to get the full value of their money.

The Circuit Court was in session last week in Port Washington with a very slim calendar, that Judge PULLING would have cleared in one hour and a quarter. Nothing of any importance transpired, except some tall swearing in one criminal case. The whole business of this Circuit, were it not for Waukesha County, does not amount to much.

We wish Judge SLOAN would resign the office in our favor, so that we might get the sinecure and have something more to do besides editing the NEWS; it would be just enough to fill up leisure time and to draw the three thousand dollars salary. We should like that very much, and would promise to stay with the boys a week or two longer at each term than necessary, to play a game of seven up for the soda water all around.

Scarlet fever is raging in this place at present, and people are not aware of the fact. If a card was tacked on the doors, notifying the public that such a sickness is in the dwelling it would not likely spread so rapidly. Children should not be allowed to attend the funerals of those that die of the above named disease; and those partially recovered ought to be kept out of school until they are entirely well. Our board of health is not quite strict enough in that way and it is a matter which ought to be attended to at once.

Those who desired passed the time in dancing, while others whiled the hours away in conversation. Taken as a whole it was the most pleasant party it has ever been our good fortune to attend here.

He was surrounded by a score of fair ladies who notified him that as this was probably the last chance they had decided to kiss him (this time) publicly. He stood it like a little man, and really acted as though he liked it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have heard from several parties that it would not be a bad idea if some of our citizens in our town would make a collection and buy some suitable place for a race course. There are places enough in the town that would suit for that purpose, and there are men in this town that would buy four or five shares at one time. Of course people must taken an interest in such an undertaking and help all they possibly can otherwise it will be a failure. It would be a Sunday afternoon's enjoyment to see a good horse race.
