PORT WASHINGTON ITEMS from the Star

Messrs. G. GOETZ, Henry DIX and L. SAUER have been arranging for some time past for an expedition to the Milwaukee river and all details now being made, they will start this evening for the wilderness, where they will camp out for about three weeks. Mr. SAUER has made a coat which they will take. The fish and game in and about that stream are hereby given twenty-four hours to “vamose,” for when these celebrated Nimrods and Anglers arrive at their destination something will happen and we will not be responsible for the consequences.

Messrs. LAMDIN & FITZGERALD will deliver a large part of their agricultural machines next Saturday to those farmers who ordered them. There will be quite a gathering at their store house near the depot and many citizens, besides the parties directly interested will be on the ground. We would suggest to the enterprising firm the engagement of at least a portion of our cornet band to celebrate the day by the discourse of some sweet music to the farmers in attendance. We understand that the new firm has done remarkably well this year so far.

Last Sunday afternoon the grand opening of HILGEN's Spring Summer Resort took place. The full band under the direction of the talented leader, Mr. WEBER, discoursed sweet music until about seven o'clock. A ball that lasted until nearly morning closed the festivities. Although the weather looked somewhat threatening in the afternoon, quite a number of people gathered in from the neighborhood, but during the night there were several heavy showers, but the very large hall and outbuildings accommodated all guests. The Park looks its very best and will become this year again the favorite resort of Milwaukeeans coming out on Sunday trains, that will commence running on and after Sunday.

Mr. Wm. SCHROEDER of Milwaukee was home visiting his parents last Sunday.

The front of the drug store of Mr. E. A. GELTCH has been newly painted, making a very fine appearance.

F.G. SCHUETTE has been engaged by Hilgen Bros. to attend to the Park Hotel. The ballroom will be open every day until 9 o'clock P.M.

The bath houses are now opened at the Park, and those who wish to have a cold or warm bath can secure it at any time.

The Musical Society are making arrangements for the grand celebration on July 4th. A picnic will be held in Hilgen's Spring Park in the afternoon, and in the evening a ball in the Turner Hall.

Last Thursday evening the Cedarburg Band formed in line and marched from their former music hall to their new one opposite the NEWS office.

Capt. J.W. JOHANN is about removing to Depere, where he has purchased the greater part of a large planing mill at a very reasonable price. He has also bought a fine dwelling house for about one half of what it has cost the former owner, who had gone away west to better his fortune as we understand.

L.E. JOCHEM Esqu. has been appointed Post Master at Cedarburg in place of Capt. J.W. JOHANN, resigned. Mr. JOCHEM has been Deputy Post Master here for years; he is perfectly familiar with the business and is an accommodating gentleman. We have no doubt that he will give general satisfaction.

The Sunday excursion train from Milwaukee contained five passenger coaches, pretty well filled. About sixty persons stepped out here to visit friends and enjoy themselves at the picnic (unreadable). The weather was warm and at one time a shower was threatening but the rainstorm commenced long after out guests had left for home.

CASPAR MAYER, DEAD--The many friends of Caspar MAYER will learn with regret, that he died at his home in Madison on Sunday night last. He was an early settler of Milwaukee, but moved to Madison some thirty years ago. A painful disease ended his life too soon, he being only 60 years of age.

When we were last at Madison at the State Convention, we learned the hopelessness of his recovery from his son and were therefore prepared to hear of the death of one of our earliest friends. We shall miss him sadly if we should visit Madison again. May he rest in peace.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LOOK TO OUR BRIDGES--The supervisors of this town should see without delay to the condition of several bridges in this town and especially as regards the bridges in this village at SCHROEDER & TROTTMANN's mill and at the Plaining Mill.

Both may come down at any time and a loss of life perhaps, may be the consequence. Mr. LIESENBERG told us that five years ago, while he was supervisor, the stringers of the former bridge were already rotten and the whole bottom may drop into the creek whenever a heavy load passes over. If the supervisors do not heed this timely warning they will be held responsible for the heavy damages the town will probably have to pay very soon. At the Hilgen Manufactory, the bridge should at once be built of stone. One span of sixteen or eighteen feet is enough to let all the water through from the tall race and the approaches can be filled up with stone and gravel at but little cost. It seems that such neglect from our country supervisors will soon determine the people of the village to have a government of their own. These two bridges must be seen to at once, we repeat the warning!

Our quiet and orderly village was thrown into an excitement last week by an exhibition of rowdyism of three young men, names Wm. KENNEDY, Carl HARTWIG and Richard BYRNS and their subsequent examination and trial before Esqr. VOGENITZ.

It appears that these men had been present at a picnic of Mr. Claus MEYER eight days ago last Sunday and intended to commence a row among the guests assembled by grossly insulting Mr. (unreadable) a quick tempered man had thereupon struck one of the assailants. Finding that they would be overpowered, they left with threats of vengeance and a few days after finding Mr. MEYER alone, all three threw themselves upon him and beat him most unmercifully besides demolishing the furniture in the (unreadable) brought some people to the rescue, but when the door was opened to let them in, they were threatened with a drawn revolver by KENNEDY and upon their retiring were shot by him without however hitting any one. Thereupon the fellows left but were soon arrested; the district attorney Mr. HEDDING, appeared, and the result was that KENNEDY was sentenced to 3 months imprisonment in the county jail for going armed with a revolver while in a state of intoxication, and all three were bound over in the sum of $250 each, to appear before the circuit court, on the charge of a felonious assault with intent to commit great bodily harm. We understand that one or two of them will hardly obtain bail to await their trial.

FREDONIA CORRESPONDENCE
Your readers have no doubt noticed or conjectured that this little village is not a newsy place. Semi-occasionally we have a small fight or lawsuit; but in general there is nothing to remove the monotony of country life. Just at present an interesting case for cheesemen and dairy farmers is the universal topic of discussion. A farmer living south of this village has been accused of removing cream from the milk he delivers to the factory. As I understand it, this is claimed to be a criminal act, and a criminal prosecution will be the result. Will let you know what the termination will be.

Mr. FREDRICH is now running three cheese factories in company with Mr. WITT, and all of them are doing well.

All through this section small grain and fruit are in the finest condition. In fact I never saw winter grain look so well.

An epidemic of measles is now running its course in Farmington, and we will not have to wait long for its appearance here. We had one isolated case of small pox the latter part of May.

On Saturday morning Mr. John LOUREGAN of Sec. 32 was presented with a fine boy, mother and child doing well.

Our village has been beautified by the laying of much needed sidewalks, under the supervision of John FINTSEN.
