LOCAL MATTERS

Decoration day passed by without a flag.

Hosiery for everybody from 5 cents to 50 cents a pair at BOERNER Bros.

A number of the country schools have closed for the school year.

John BACH of Butternut spent a few days here last week.

Miss Antonie HAUSER of Milwaukee was in the city a few days last week.

Wm. WIESLER, having finished his school term, left last week to attend the college at Valparaiso, Ind.

White Dress Goods and embroidered and lace dress fronts in variety at BOERNER Bros.

Geo. BACH of Milwaukee and Fred MEYER of Nicolette were in the city last Monday.

Chas. WILKE disposed of his household goods at auction last Monday. The proceeds of the sale were quite fair.

Mr. W. FITZGERALD has removed to the cottage opposite the Cedarburg Elevator, of which he is the manager.

BOERNER Bros. agents for celebrated Alden Grape Wine Vinegar, absolutely pure.

J. C. KUHEFUSS & Son have added a fine hack to their livery establishment. It is handsomely made and well adapted for weddings, funerals, etc.

The other day a truck-man had the misfortune to drop a case of eggs from the back of his wagon. The train went off without the eggs, and he viewed their remains very ruefully.

The heavy rain-showers of the past week generally beneficial, though some fear that their violence may have damaged more advanced crops.

The bock-beer on tap at the saloons the beginning of this week, proved to be a very potent portion to a good many, whose storm-beaten appearance attested to their imbibing qualities.

BOERNER Bros. are removing this week from their present place to the old-mill store, and will be in position at the end of this week.

Mr. Wm. ENGBRING found a rain-coat the over day which can be recovered by calling at his house and paying for this notice.

The four cars that made up the excursion train to Elkhart Lake last Sunday were crowded with passengers. About (unreadable word) mostly former residents of this city, took the first opportunity to make a short call at their homes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The opening of the Park found few persons in attendance in the afternoon. Rain dampened the spirit of merrymaking. the band gave a fine concert in the hall. In the evening, however, a large number took part in the dance, and it was a complete success.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One day last week a commercial traveler, stopping at Horn’s Corners, forgot to tie his horse. The animal, which belonged to a livery of this city, started off alone on its way home, leaving the drummer, minus his traps, to wend his way back at leisure.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
J. LUDTKE & Son have just received a new and complete supply of buggy materials which they are prepared to dispose of at low rates. The goods are in first class order and those in need of articles in that line will do well to apply there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One day last week a load of lime, fresh from the kilns, was hauled through the city for a farmer living some miles north of this place. The wagon-box full of loose lime was covered by some more of the same article filled into bags. While still in the outskirts of the city, the lime began to burn, probably from the action of the moist air and the high wind that was blowing at the time. The bags caught fire and the stuff soon became a glowing mass that it was all the driver could do to save the wagon by (unreadable line). He was nearly blinded and his face and hands were painfully burned with the heated dust blown up by the wind. The lime was to have been used for killing thistles and other weeds.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A daughter of W. LIESENBERG, while at work in the worsted department of Cedarburg Woolen Mills last Friday had her left hand caught in one of the machines. Two fingers were cut off and the arm was saved by mere chance. The machine at which the accident occurred was one of the most approved English make, and was well provided with guards, so that the unfortunate mishap was clearly the result of carelessness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That was a rather incongruous combination of horse and ride that passed through our streets last Friday morning. The animal appeared to have escaped from a charnel house, and drooped its wasted head in a spiritless manner. The rider was decked in plume and roses like a gay cavalier of old and squared himself as if proud of his brilliant horsemanship. The Bell of Atri could have been rung for the gallant steed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The soul-stirring music of the organ-grinder has again been heard here. The operator was a woebegone mortal of no distinctive nationality whose appearance was calculated to draw out a few pennies in connection with the request to pass on. He cleared out a hotel room with his sweet strains, but was rewarded with a meal for his hardihood before the music had done much damage.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We had the pleasure of a visit from the Rev. Mr. ERNEST and Mr. PORS of Port Washington, who came to our city in the interest of the performance of Haydn’s Creation. Pastor ERNEST is the soul of the whole undertaking and is quite enthusiastic over it. We have no doubt from what he told us that the difficult undertaking will prove a success in every respect.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The monthly fair of last Monday was the largest we have had this year. the streets were crowded all day long, and for part of the time passage was almost completely stopped on the road way. The usual number of cattle was offered for sale, but the dealings in horses were large, a number of fine animals changing hands. A certain stranger made a great deal of noise about his method of training horses, and gave some sort of exhibition in the afternoon. We doubt whether his performance developed anything useful. The stores had a correspondingly large run of business.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HAYDN’s CREATION
There will be quite a treat for our neighboring city of Port Washington on the evening of the 18th of June next. HAYDN’s CREATION is to be given on that day by the best talent that could be got together under the leadership of the musical director Mr. CATENHUSEN of Milwaukee. The solo parties will be sung by celebrated singers and no expense has been spared by the managers to make this a complete success. The hand bills are being distributed throughout the county, but a change of prices has been made from those as published on the bills. the uniform price of admission for adults being one dollar, and for younger people of fifteen years or under fifty cents. We hope that there will be a full turnout from this section of the county, as such opportunity to listen to one of the greatest composition of Haydn may not occur again for years in this neighborhood. More in our next number. Our musical director Mr. A. WEBER here, has been kind enough to see to the distribution of the tickets of admission.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mr. PORS, district attorney of the county, while here expressed himself very much annoyed by the charge (unreadable words) that the putting over of the DEEGAN trial in Sheboygan was his fault, when just the contrary was the case. The defence brought such a case by affidavit before Judge GILSON, that notwithstanding the opposition of the prosecution, the case had to go over. It was chiefly on account of the failure of a celebrated physician from Chicago to attend the trial who had been duly summoned to give his testimony as an expert of insanity cases, the plea of insanity having been put in as a defence of the killing of his victim. This is all fudge and only calculated to mislead a jury. We will say without the fear of a successful contradiction that three or four of DEEGAN’s neighbors, who have known him for years will be better witnesses than all the doctors in the country as to his insanity, which we understand consisted in getting occasionally too much rot-gut into him and that he had some of it on board when he fired the fatal shot. Mr. TURNER who is one of the attorneys for the defence will readily admit that the putting over of the trial was certainly not the fault of Mr. PORS and he ought not to be blamed for causing this additional expense to the county. That the attorneys for the defence seek to clear their client by all possible squibs and means which the law will allow is excusable and no one ought to blame them as long as their client has money to pay for it.

AN OLD MILWAUKEE SETTLER VISITING CALIFORNIA

We know of very few men who bear their age as well as Mr. STAR.
