Miss Mathilda BECKMANN is in Chicago on a few weeks visit.

Mr. F. W. NOELTING of West Bend died suddenly last Friday and was buried last Monday.

The cold weather interfered with the cattle fair last Monday, and but little business was done.

Mr. STEWART of Grafton sold a Jersey cow to Milwaukee parties last week, for the neat sum of $125.

On the 1st of March, J. LAUTERBACH will sell his stock and farm utensils at public auction.

Notice that the date of SIMON's mask ball at Grafton is Feb. 12th. The full orchestra of the Grafton Band will furnish the music.

There will be a masquerade ball at the Mequon Turn Hall on Feb. 20. It will be the carnival affair for that neighborhood.

Mr. J. LAUTERBACH sold his farm, one and a half miles west of this city to Mr. HENNIG. Mr. L. will remove to this city and take charge of his clothing establishment.

Tickets for the Turners masquerade now on sale at the following places: Cedarburg Woolen Mills, Hentchel & Jochem, Boerner Bros., F. Beckmann, Wirth Bros., W. P. Jochem.

Mr. Geo. W. STEWART of Grafton will sell at auction on Feb. 16th all household utensils and stock on his farm, one mile southeast of Grafton. Among the stock are several graded Jersey and Holstein cattle that will be quite a prize.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Herman SCHELLENBERG will have a mask ball on Sunday, the day after the Turner's masquerade. Considering that for some time no opportunity has offered for spending a lively time there, the ball will doubtless prove a success. It will be an excellent counteractant of the effect of the previous night's frivolities.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Messrs. B. WEBER and Henry SALTER have entered into partnership in a general farming machinery business. Mr. SALTER has lately removed to this city, having sold his farm in town Trenton. The venture will doubtless prove a prosperous one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
F. JAUCKE formally opened his saloon on the 30th ult. A large number were present, most, however from this city. Few outsiders were present on account of the severe cold. WEBER's orchestra furnished music for the occasion, and all present enjoyed an excellent time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DIED -- At Milwaukee last Monday morning, Math. DALEY. He left for the former city about two weeks ago to try medical treatment; but it did not avail him. The cause of his disease was consumption that had been inflicting him for a long time. He was about thirty years of age and spent most of his life in Chicago.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The masquerade ball at the Springs on the 19th will be a very pretentious affair. The Hilgen Bros. have gone to considerable expense to secure thorough enjoyment and comfort for all guests. Their fine large hall will be made as pleasant a place for a ball in winter as it has always been in summer. All should take part, and show their appreciation of the efforts of the genial proprietors of the Springs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A WORD TO THE WISE
The attention of our readers is especially called to the advertisement on another page, of the cheap lands in Minnesota and Dakota, that are now being offered for sale by the Chicago & Northwestern Railway Comp. The ad speaks for itself. It is undoubtedly a fact and one of much importance to all interested, and this will be “the last chance” that will be offered to the public to procure these lands at present low prices, as we are informed that they are increasing in value rapidly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It would be positive disloyalty to forget the mask and ball next Saturday. The affair has been a grand one every year; but this year, in which the Verein celebrates its quarter-centennial, it will prove superb, the fates and weather being propitious. The procession in the afternoon will be swelled with incongruities and extravagances, to which everyone will be welcome to make an addition. The evening masquerade will be enlivened by numerous comic performances, some of which will remind us of the good old days gone by. Let all be present.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The committee appointed by the Ozaukee County Agricultural Society, for making arrangements for the Farmer's Institute to be held in Cedarburg on the 22 and 23d of this month, met last Saturday at the Washington House. A local committee consisting of Messrs. A.R. BOERNER, D. WITTENBERG, F.W. HORN, and J. WEBER was appointed, whose work it will be to complete all arrangements and prepare a program. The following were invited to deliver addresses at the Institute: Geo. W. JONES of Jackson, A. BARKHAUSEN of Mequon, Mr. Hiram SMITH of Sheboygan Co., Mr. HOARD of Ft. Atkinson, and Mr. SANGER of Milwaukee. Other selections for speakers are to be made by the local committee. Extra efforts will be made to enhance the success of the meeting.

At John RINN's, a mile north-east of Horn's Corners, a mask ball will be held on Saturday, the 19th. The Newburg Band furnishes the music.

The mask ball at SCHELLENBERG's last Sunday was quite well attended. The weather was somewhat unfavorable, but sleighing was good, and was a help for success.

Ed. VOGEL, until lately employed in this office, has been confined in the house for some time. He expects to be able to go out again on the return of warm weather.

This evening the quarterly meeting of the Music Verein will be held in the Turn Hall. The meeting will be followed by a concert and sociable which will, as usual, last until 12 o'clock.

Mr. Hugh McELROY is said to be in a very low state. Weakness and disease has been gaining on him so steadily that now there is little hope of recovery. His family form has been missed from our streets for a long time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A sleigh-ful of lively wedding revelers happened to pass through our main street a little before 2 o'clock P.M. last Saturday, and were hailed by all the expectant urchins as the introduction to the sights of the procession. The wedding guests were rather startled at the enthusiastic reception they received.

Carl MERTON, a little boy attending the Lutheran school, fell down while playing and broke his leg. His parents live about a mile north-east of the city. They are poor and have besides been very unfortunate; for their little daughter became blind last year. A subscription list is being circulated to raise money for the afflicted family, and no one should be backward in giving aid.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A neighboring farmer of convivial propensities tied his horse in front of a saloon last Monday morning, and went inside for a carouse that was not terminated in the evening after dark. some philanthropic young men then loosened the famished horse from the sleigh and allowed it to run home. How the owner managed to pilot himself home through the rain is not known, but he managed to appear there when the morning light was breaking.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Turner's masquerade last Saturday figured as a grand success. The day was a little dark and gloomy, with an occasional misty rain; but this did not hinder the procession from more than equaling that of last year, nor did it at all curtail the evening attendance. The principal features of the procession were a bakery on wheels, f fire engine, and a wagon of performing animals; these were accompanied by numerous other turn-outs of an extravagant character, and were led through the streets by WEBER's Band. The masks at the ball were very numerous and were made up of a great variety. Several performances, revivals of past days, were produced with credit by the Verein and others. About midnight the lottery prizes were drawn, occasioning much amusement. The dance was kept up long, and was so thoroughly enjoyed, that even at a very late hour, the floor was well filled with dancers. Financially the ball was very successful, the receipts having been about equal to those of last year, but the expenses considerably less.
