Some of our clients living in the center of the city are occasionally much annoyed at certain impromptu nocturnal serenades gotten up by a congress of dogs called in the market square. The music of these canines on the street, joined to the sounds emitted from the feline concert in the backyard, may well be considered sufficient to arrest the slumber the quiet burgher, not accustomed to those sweet and pensive strains.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There seemed to be something mysterious about that succession of unearthly yells that startled the quiet of our streets at about two o'clock last Sunday morning. The thing was understood, however, when it transpired that the management of the new bakery had changed, consequent to the interference of muscular relatives.

Last Thursday, Mr. A.R. BOERNER and Miss H. SONNENBERG were married at Mr. Julius GOLDSMITH's, 88 Farewell Ave., Milwaukee, the temporary home of the bride. The day was happily spent by all concerned. The guests, among whom were numbered the near relations and close friends of the contracting parties and the bride's guardians, began to arrive at about an hour before noon. All morning numerous beautiful bouquets were received, and were tastily arranged in the parlor where the bridal was to take place. One of the last to appear was Judge MUN, shortly after whose arrival the bride and bridegroom entered at the upper end of the room and took their station in a labyrinth of flowers. The bride was elegantly attired and looked exceedingly well. Miss HANSEN of Milwaukee was bridesmaid, while Mr. TROTTMAN of Cedarburg acted as groomsman. The ceremony was speedily finished by Judge MAUN, and the next half hour was spent in showering congratulations on the couple. A few minutes after the knot was tied, a congratulatory message was received from the bride's parents in Frankfort, Germany. The doors were now thrown open to the dining room, where a sumptuous feast was given in regular courses. After a few courses, toasts were pleasantly responded to by PORS, of Port Washington, and Messrs. MOHR, HANSEN, GOLDSMITH, and Judge MAUN of Milwaukee., in the order named. Mr. GOLDSMITH gave a most hearty welcome to all present and sustained this by a profuse hospitality that was thoroughly enjoyed.
A little before four o'clock the newly married couple quietly left the house to take the next train for the South. The guests wished them “god-speed” and gradually departed. Those present from Cedarburg were Mrs. F. BOERNER, Miss Mary and Mr. James TROTTMAN, Mr. and Mrs. G.A. BOERNER, and H.C. and T.A. BOERNER.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Emulating the workmen all over the country, the employees of the Grafton Worsted Mills struck for higher wages last Tuesday. Probably their cause was just, but they were not sufficiently organized to be able to persist in their demands. They went to work at the old rates after half an hour's strike.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FIRE AT SAUKVILLE

Last Friday night at 11 o'clock fire was discovered in a barn between the saloons of Messrs. ALBRECHT and KIRCH. The fire spread rapidly to the adjoining buildings and was soon beyond control. The amount of movable property saved was but inconsiderable, as the people had barely a chance to escape the fire themselves. There was a horse, a cow, and a dog in the barn, of which the horse alone was rescued. it is said that Mr. KIRCH's property was not insured, the insurance expiring about six weeks ago, while Mr. ALBRECHT's saloon carried an insurance of about $1600.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A week ago Tuesday evening a jolly sleigh party, four-in-hand, went up to REICHERT's Town Trenton. There was not very much snow on the ground at the time, but their stout teams carried them along very well and the jolting made it more enjoyable.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The last masquerade of the season here took place last Saturday under the auspices of the Cedarburg Band. The day was fine, though the wet state of the streets had a somewhat curtailing effect on the afternoon procession. The procession made the round of the city conducted by two bands, to all external appearances made up of old maids and niggers. In the evening at the hall the masks were quite numerous, and furnished considerable amusement. Some of the costumes and representations were very original. Of the performances on the stage, amateur minstrelsy was a crowning feature. The dancing was kept up to an early hour next day. A large number attended the dance form the neighboring villages of Cedarburg. Considering the number of masquerades we have been accommodated with this season, this last of the series was indeed a success.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The mad dog that was killed here some weeks ago did not end its visit here without some baneful results. A number of valuable dogs were bitten by the cur, and most of them were killed as soon as they showed the symptoms of hydrophobia. A few known to have been bitten are still allowed to run around. these should be killed and got out of the way with all possible dispatch to ward off any lurking danger. A hog was bitten on Mike DALEY's farm half a mile north of this city, and was shot a few days ago. A horse belonging to Mr. SOUTHOFF, 2 1/2 miles north-west of this city was also bitten and died from the effects last Saturday. It would be well that great care were exercised with regard to dogs for some time to come until all danger of an outbreak has passed.

FREDONIA CORRESPONDENCE

An appeal from the decision of the supervisors of this town refusing to lay out a certain public highway has been taken by Peter HARTMANN and others. This is the first instance since the organization of the town that such a step has been taken. On the fourth inst., Justice N. CIGRAND shall appoint three commissioners to review the decision. Three of the applicants claim they must have the road to get their children to the school house of the district, but refused to pay even only a part of the amount necessary to pay for the lands to be taken for said highway. The supervisors proposed a nearer route to the school house, but this they would not have. The portion of road applied for would benefit those three mentioned applicants and no other resident of the whole town. Had they made an application for a highway one mile long, it would open into another road and made a thoroughfare by which the public good would be promoted in great measure.

I have been told that one of those three men, who has resided in this town less than a year, has, in a similar case, fixed the supervisors of the place he formerly lived in, and that he has the ability to do it here. They will of course spend a good deal of money and time to obtain the desired end. Meanwhile I will sit on the fence, watch the proceedings, and report.

Later it has been developed that Mrs. KLUG has left her husband and now lives alone.

Last Saturday, march 13, a meeting of the Ozaukee County Teachers' Association was held at Cedarburg. Though one portion of the county was but poorly represented, the meeting was yet the largest and most interesting the society has had this winter. The exercises opened in the morning with a long talk on Physiology by Mr. LAU. He spoke of the various relations of the nervous system and the brain, treating of the subject in a manner both practical and philosophical. He was attentively listened to for over an hour and imparted instruction that his hearers will be able to make excellent use of in their schools as well as in general life.

Hereupon Mr. BATES, teacher of the Hamilton school, not being a member of the society, asked permission of the meeting to introduce certain resolutions that he had drawn up. This was granted. The resolutions proposed an extensive reform in regard to the textbooks in use in our public schools, and in the manner of their selection and distribution. Nobody seemed willing to discuss these resolutions. Mr. SCOTT, as president of the society, advised the meeting that before adopting or rejecting resolutions advocating such a radical change in a system considered good by the educators of the state in general, they should take sufficient time to think over the matter well. It was then voted that a committee be appointed to examine carefully the merits and defects of the resolutions and report at the next meeting of the society. As such committee Mr. SCOTT appointed Messrs. LAU, BECKWITH and JUERGENS.

The afternoon session was opened by a talk on Elementary Grammar by Mr. B. MEYER. He presented to the teachers a sound way to teach this necessary, though somewhat neglected branch. Following this discourse, a general discussion brought out the various methods used: from their comparison much benefit was doubtless derived.

The next exercise was a well written paper on “How to teach Penmanship” by Miss Jane REYNOLDS. This introduced the most lengthy and animated discussion of the day's work. The subject was indeed a perplexing one, and all strove to prove their own methods the most efficient. The majority of the teachers, however, agreed with Miss REYNOLDS on the plan to be pursued in teaching this branch.
After a short talk on “Narcotics and Stimulants” as required by law to be taught in connection with Physiology, the meeting adjourned, first, however, deciding to meet again in four weeks at Port Washington. This latter move is not liked by some, as they consider Cedarburg the most centrally located place in the county for a meeting; and the opinion was also quite prevalent that the Port Washington members of the association should have appeared in greater force.

OBITUARY

We regret to announce the death of Frank ZIMMERMANN of Mequon, the only surviving son of our old friend, Adolph ZIMMERMANN, the first German settler in Washington County.
Frank was born July 28th 1847 near the place in Mequon where he died on the morning of last Monday the 15th inst. at half past 3 o'clock. he was one of the nine children, two boys and seven girls of whom five of the latter remain alive.

The deceased was married about 14 years ago to Miss Anna HERBST of the town of Granville and has left besides the widow three children, the youngest being six years old, to mourn his loss.

He was engaged together with his brother-in-law in the carrying on of the extensive brewery founded by his father the Hon. A. ZIMMERMANN.
Hard work and exposure must have laid the germ to a sickness which soon developed into consumption of which he died. Beloved by his family and all who knew him for his quiet and amicable disposition, he was called away much too soon to another and let us hope a better world.

The funeral will take place to-day at 2 o'clock in the afternoon; his last resting place being but a few rods from the family's residence. Our most heartfelt sympathies are with the aged father, the mother having died a few years ago, and with the whole family. May the earth be a light covering over his mortal remains.

DAM SWEPT AWAY

A large section of the dam of the Plymouth Roller Mills was swept away during the high stage of water Thursday, occasioned by the heavy rains and melting snow. The dam was carried away a year ago, and though substantially repaired as it was thought at the time, still the break now can be attributed to the insufficient repairs. Messrs. E.P. BACON & Co. of Milwaukee, the purchasers at the assignee's sale, last week, have let the contract for its repairs to Wm. H. FITZGERALD, of Cedarburg, who is personally superintending the large force of men and teams engaged in replacing the dam. The repairs now being made are of a most substantial character. The bad condition of the roads of course greatly impedes the work. -- PLYMOUTH REPORTER
