~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do not forget to be present at the opening of Claus MEYER's garden next Sunday. The host has provided carefully for all manner of amusement, and can promise all an excellent time. Balloons will be sent up in the afternoon while Chinese lanterns will illuminate the garden in the evening. The ball in the evening will not be at all the least attraction.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The important event for this place last Sunday was the excursion of the Music Verein to the lake shore. The weather looked threatening in the morning, but the excursionists, who had been looking forward to this trip all week, were not to be daunted. Every available bus and carriage was pressed into the service of the pleasure seekers, and by ten o'clock in the forenoon most were on the way, leaving the streets of Cedarburg silent and dead. The picnic ground was at the site of a land-slide that took place some years ago. By noon the place was alive with people, the horses were picketed to the trees, and the provisions were unpacked from the wagons. Dinner was partaken of, after which the excursionists, young and old, strayed through the woods, climbed down the bluffs, or wandered along the beach; while the band and the singing choirs alternated in giving entertainment. The picnic ground had been most happily chosen, for it was indeed a lovely and romantic spot; it would be vain to attempt to do justice to the beauty in the short space here alotted. The day was very pleasantly spent by all, a few ludicrous though harmless incidents, such as a lady climbing half down a bluff and rolling the rest of the way, adding variety to the affair. In the evening the loads of lively folks returned. One or two of them were almost too licensed a crowd, but as the occasion was unusual, the legal authorities kindly exercised some forbearance. May all our excursions be as successful as this was.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On Tuesday, July 27, Mrs. McELROY, wife of Hugh McELROY, died at her home in this city at the extreme old age of seventy-three years. She has not been about much for a long time and her demise was not unexpected. She had been married fifty-one years at the time of her death. A large number of sympathizing friends followed the remains to their last resting place on Thursday.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One day last week while Mr. DUTCHER was burning stumps on his farm a few miles west of Cedarburg, a stray spark set fire to a large hay-stack. That was consumed in a short time, and it required great exertion to keep the flames from spreading to the surrounding farm buildings. The damage amounted to about one hundred dollars.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We were pained to learn of the death of Mrs. Christian PREUSSER, which occurred at Elkhart Lake in the night from July 28th to 29th after a few days illness. Mrs. P. had been an invalid for some time and no skill of the best physicians was of any avail to stay the fell destroyer, death. She was buried last Saturday in Milwaukee. To the husband and the bereaved family we offer our most heartfelt sympathy on the occasion of their irreparable loss.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We learn that at the popular resort of Mr. Wm. RIEMENSCHNEDIER in Mequon, quite a pleasant time was had last Sunday by the neighbors and some visitors from Milwaukee, calling themselves the “Teutonia Boys” who had come up by team to enjoy themselves in the pleasant park attached to the premises.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fred ENGELHARDT opened his new hotel at Thiensville last Sunday. Many were present from this city, Grafton, Milwaukee and the neighboring towns. Mr. ENGELHARDT showed his good qualities as a host and made all feel pleasant and comfortable. He can expect good customers now that his hotel is completed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The annual meeting of the Cedarburg Turn Verein was held in the Turn Hall on Tuesday of last week. The society has prospered sufficiently to enable it to pay $500 of the mortgage on the hall.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The picnic and dance at the Apollo Hall attracted quite a large number of people from all the surrounding country. Weber's band gave a concert in the afternoon and furnished the dance music in the evening. All enjoyed themselves as well as the warm weather would allow.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some of the side-walks of this city are sadly in need of repair. In one place passengers have been repeatedly tripped by a broken board and though no serious injuries have yet been sustained by anyone, the city should guard against the very probably occurrence of costly accidents.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last Sunday night some very witty person obstructed travel on the plank road near Thiensville by piling a lot of lumber across the road. A late traveler narrowly escaped a serious accident by chancing to see the obstacle just before coming upon it. he had to spend a long time removing the boards before he could proceed. Persons who delight in this dangerous kind of practical joke sometimes meet with serious consequences.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DEATH OF HON. H. N. SMITH
Hon. H. N. SMITH residing for the last few years in Milwaukee and connected with the M & N R. R. died suddenly at Hilbert Junction on the line of the road. His body was conveyed to Milwaukee and from thence interred last Friday in the family burying grounds at Plymouth. In former years the deceased was a member of the Legislature, serving in the Assembly in 1850 and in the Senate in 1853-4. He also served some years as Warden of the State Prison. he was a brother to our old friend the late Senator Paul SMITH from Sheboygan County and brother-in-law of Wm. ELWELL Esq. of Sheboygan city. We are sorry to lose him from the list of old acquaintances whom one likes to meet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TEACHERS' MEETING
The teachers' institute for Ozaukee County was opened in the Public School building of Cedarburg last Monday, August 9th. The exercises are conducted by Prof. C. F. NINMAN, Prof. Chas LAU and Supt. Wm. F. SCOTT. Almost all interested in public instruction in this county are well acquainted with the two last named gentlemen. Prof. NINMAN, who this year makes his first appearance in this county, is principal of the Sauk City, Columbia Co. school. He is a man of considerable experience and has had marked success as a teacher; the members of the Institute can therefore derive much profit from his instruction.

ZIMMERMANN, Chairman
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mrs. Theo. FINK of Cascade is visiting in the city.

Mr. Harry BOLENS of Port Washington was in town last Thursday.

Supt. of Schools FINNEGAN of Washington County attended the Institute last week.

During these splendid days, livery rigs are generally somewhat scarce.

Mr. John RIORDAN of Newburg, student of the Oshkosh Normal was in the city last Thursday.

D.M. JACKSON is posing as candidate for re-election to the office of District Attorney. The support which he deserves will undoubtedly be given him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Several times during the Institute the teachers have raised themselves above their common sphere, and have discussed with vim and energy abstruse problems of mental and moral philosophy. They showed themselves not altogether deficient in that branch of erudition.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Prof. SMITH of Racine schools was at the Institute last Thursday afternoon for the purpose of selling a little book he had prepared for assisting teachers in giving instruction in History. He disposed of quite a number of the books.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mr. Louis HOEHN, formerly conducting a general merchandise business at Kirchhayne, Washington Co., has purchased Mr. LIESENBERG's property in the northern part of this city. He intends to make that his future home, but as to what business he will undertake, we are not informed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
F. R. WEBER B.S. who last June graduated with honors from the University of Wisconsin, left yesterday morning on route for Germany. He will take a three year course in medicine at either Halle, Heidelberg or Freibourg Universities. His marked success as a student thus far will certainly attend him in his further studies, as he was always known for his close application in his work. All his friends here wish him success.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There will be a grand harvest festival and ball at Horn's Corners on the 5th of September. If the weather is propitious the afternoon concert and evening dance will be held in the park. Mr. SCHELLENBERG's reputation as a good entertainer ought to bring many to take part in the festival.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are told that some of the good lately stolen from the house of Rev. E. G. STRASSBURGER have been returned. It is said that the offenders are residents of this place, though their names are not made public. There should be no such forbearance for those who have once committed a theft are very apt to do so again, and should be known that they may be guarded against.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The grand concert and ball at the Park next Sunday gives promise of being an affair of some pretension. The Cedarburg Band will exercise its best talent to give an excellent musical entertainment in the afternoon and everything will be made pleasant and comfortable for all guests. Many are expected to come with the regular excursion from Milwaukee. All in and near Cedarburg should make it a point to attend.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Farmers are everywhere busy now cutting and storing the ripe grain in their barns. The yield will not be very great this year on account of the protracted drought, but in this section of the country the state of things was not so serious as to occasion a loss of the entire crop as is the case in many other districts. Fresh potatoes have long ago appeared, and though they are not found in the usual quantities, their quality is in general much better than those of last year. Farmers may be inclined to talk a little of hard times, but they must remember that they are here comparatively well off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Busy days are not very plenty at this time of the year. For the greater part of the time now this city has a peculiarly dead appearance. This is particularly the case on a bright, sunny day, when the farmers are busy working on the fields, and the city folks remain inside to guard their delicate complexions from being browned under the scorching rays of the sun. The store-keepers manage to spend this time to great advantage by preparing themselves for fall and winter trade. They complain that there is not a very bright business prospect before them; yet they will not fare any worse than all others.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some time ago one of our small manufacturing establishments indulged in a rather questionable proceeding. The manager, at an unusual hour, began to blow the engine whistle. There was nothing wrong about this, as he has his own mind about the time of blowing of his whistle; the whistle, however, was not an ordinary one, for it was made up of a succession of short and sharp tones. This is generally construed to be an alarm of fire. The manager in question indulged in this several times, and caused much apprehension among the townspeople as to the location of the fire that they could not notice. The fire department did not turn out probably from a correct knowledge of the manager; yet such action ought not to be tolerated.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Cedarburg Fire Company went to Saukville last Sunday to attend the firemen's picnic. The Saukville and Port Washington fire departments were there in full force, and the large number of people from the neighboring places joined in the festivities. The Port Washington and Cedarburg bands enlivened the air with music, and so stirred up the jovial spirits of the firemen that they not only spent a very pleasant time, but soon proceeded to adorn the village in the glowing color of their shirts. The Saukville company certainly made enough money to assist them materially in making necessary improvements. When the Cedarburg contingent arrived home, each individual fireman's center of gravity was an extremely uncertain point, and even on the next day its stability was only partially restored.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Teachers' Institute has been fairly successful last week. The enrollment has now increased to forty members. The Institute has been conducted in as spirited a manner as the sultriness of the weather would permit. Most of the teachers present give evidence during the exercises of good practical common sense and can be considered as thorough in their profession. But there are just a few who would do well to extend the range of their information a little, and fit themselves more completely for work in the school room, if they have any ambition at some time to become successful educators. The members enrolled in the Institute since last week's issue of the NEWS are: Misses Julia F. VETTER and Bridget A. CROWE of Fond du Lac, Miss Helen O. HOYT of Waubeka, Misses Clara SCHINDLER and Adele ALTEN of Thiensville, Messrs. Theo. F. WICHMANN of Freistadt, T.W. MAHEGAN of Grafton, John B. HAMES of Newburg, Bernt FRANZEN of Fredonia, Mat. WEISS, L.C. LARSON, Messes Evelyn H. SOULE, Floyd R. COE and Anna M. OBLADEN of Port Washington.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mr. JAUCKE is beginning now building the second and larger part of his hotel. The first portion is fast being made fit for habitation. The remnant of the old structure will temporarily be moved across the street to the market square.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A number of our citizens went to Milwaukee last Monday to see Barnum's great circus and menagerie. They report a good time and evince considerable edification in the zoological line.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wild Jim, the famous mountain scout and cow boy, will give an exhibition in this city this afternoon at 3 o'clock in the vicinity of the old baseball ground. The performance consists of fancy rifle shooting, etc. Everybody is invited to attend.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What seemed to be a large fire was seen from the plank-road last Monday night, apparently three or four miles to the south-west from this city. We have not at this time received any news about the fire.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mrs. Jacob ZAUN has for sale a number of fine strawberry plants. Some of the best kinds of plants are included and as this is the best time to plant them, they are put on sale at the elevator near the depot. Make use of this opportunity to secure some good garden plants.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
During the thunder storm last Saturday, Jerry BOWE's barn was struck by lightning. The building caught fire and was burned to the ground, all the grain stored in it going down with it. The insurance amounts to about $1100 in the Cedarburg Mutual Fire Ins. Co. The exact loss we have as yet not been able to ascertain.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The picnic at the Park last Sunday was not so large as could have been expected from the extensive preparations, the unfavorable weather being the only hindrance to success. At the dance in the evening a little more life was shown than in the afternoon, and the effects of the rain were in some measure overcome.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Teacher's Institute which closed last Friday was a moderate success. Considering the size of this county, a few more teachers ought to have been in attendance, yet those that were present represented our pedagogical talent quite fairly. The conductors managed to sustain interest in the proceedings, and the members of the Institute can be expected to have derived a good deal of profit from the exercises.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A young vagrant, who has been making himself obnoxious to the residents of one portion of this place for some weeks past, came to grief last Monday morning. Marshall KRAUSE apprehended and caged him for a few hours, after which he was tried before a justice of the peace, and ordered to leave the city. His forced departure is a relief to many honest-working and law-abiding citizens.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the comparatively dry weather of the last few weeks, the storm of last Saturday afternoon was quite a surprise. The clouds were lingering along the horizon for a long time and the distant rolling of the thunder was the only indication that something might be expected. The storm broke with great fury and did some destruction on forest trees and some grain that was still standing. The corn in some exposed places suffered severely, and some damage was also done in orchards. The rain continued in short showers during Saturday night and Sunday, and the only thing that most farmers complained of is that it did not come any sooner.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the last day of the Institute, Prof. NINMAN saw fit to deliver himself of his views on the state law requiring instruction in Physiology with special reference to Stimulants and Narcotics in the common schools of the state. He did not seem to favor the spirit of the law very much, though his remarks were made with fairness and in honest conviction. Some of the ladies, however, took great umbrage at some of his ideas on the use of tobacco. Many teachers find it very delicate to comply with the law in some districts, and they have to exercise great care in the manner of giving instruction as legally required.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A CARD OF THANKS
The Saukville Fire Department feels very grateful to, and takes pleasure in thanking the manly and generous members of the Cedarburg Band, the Cedarburg Fire Company, and the Pioneer Engine & Hose Companies of Port Washington, who attended its picnic and ball on the 15th inst., and also Chief EVEN, of the latter city, for participating in the festivities on that day; and for their gentlemanly, good-natured conduct while they were its guests.
