The quarterly meeting and sociable of the Cedarburg Music Verein will be held at the Turn Hall this evening. All members, together with their friends, are cordially invited to attend, as a good time is always assured.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now the long winter evenings are near at hand some of our enterprising citizens should form an amateur dramatic club and give a few entertainments during the winter. Let some one take hold and it will surely meet with success as this city possesses local talent enough.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Citizen” who locates himself at Port Washington, has been heard from in the STAR, showing his long ears.

When shall we hear from Belgium? There is a better field for the “old veteran” to get recruits than even Port Washington.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mr. and Mrs. Jacob ZAUN received a surprise party from a number of their friends of this city and from abroad last Friday evening, it being the 25th anniversary of their wedding day. The Cedarburg Band serenaded them and those attending enjoyed themselves until an early hour the next morning.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The monthly fair in this city last Monday was the largest held here during this year. The streets were crowded with people and teams from one end of the city to the other. A large amount of buying, selling and trading was done.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A well-known horse-back riding teacher, Mr. BRAUNSCHWEIG of Chestnut St., Milwaukee, Wis., contemplates to come to this city a few times a week this winter and give lessons to those wishing to become good riders.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mr. Jno. SMITH, who has resided in the town of Cedarburg for many years and who about fifty years ago sold his farm, which is situated a mile west of HALPIN’s corner, and removed to the State of Nebraska with his family and purchased a fine large farm there, died last Thursday at his home in Nebraska. His numerous friends here will be pained to learn of his sudden demise.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Burglars entered the boot and shoe store of Mr. Jacob FROEHLICH of this city last Friday night. The thieves must have entered the side window as the window fastener was found open when the theft was discovered last Monday morning. While sweeping the store, Mr. F. removed the boxes and found them rather light and upon opening them, found nothing but the empty paper boxes which contained the shoes. Altogether eleven pair of the very best gents’ shoes and several pair ladies’ shoes were stolen which is so far positively known, as it is very difficult to find out the correct number on account of the large amount of stock on hand.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It will be perhaps remembered that in a kind of controversy with a man by the name of McGINLEY in Saukville who calls himself “Veteran,” we had occasion to say that we thought him to be, aside from his crankiness, a respectable man. We regret that we were mistaken, as he has proved himself by his last communication in the STAR, to be a dirty blackguard who must have picked up his vile slang while he drove an army mule team.

No decent citizen, whether friendly to us or not, who has read that stuff will expect that we should dirty our pen with a reply -- He is a “daisy” of a school teacher!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That we are not forgotten by old friends, who know that we can no longer follow the hounds and the deer to get our venison, is extremely gratifying. Last week we got from two of them, some of the best saddles of venison we ever saw and our friend, Henry MORNMAN of Berlin furnished us with the choicest bushel of cranberries. To Messrs. Gustav PREUSSER and FERNEKES of Milwaukee we are indebted to a fine lot of mallard ducks, shot by them in the Horican Marsh. We shall have a high old time in disposing of all these good things. Many thanks to you old friends!

ANOTHER OF THE OLDEST SETTLERS IN THE TOWN OF MEQUON DEAD
On last Saturday morning at 3 o’clock, Henry HAYSSEN of Thiensville breathed his last. The deceased was born June 30th, 1815 in the Grand Dutchy of Oldenburg and came to the United States in the year 1839, settling in the fall of the same year in the town of Mequon, where he, in company with John and Edy THOMSSEN and the late Edward H. JANSSEN, friends and companions who emigrated with him, bought a fractional 80 acre lot from the government situated on the East bank of the Milwaukee river between Thiensville and Mequon.

After the arrival of the late Henry THIEN, who purchased the present water power, he built for him the first mill, since which time he has steadily resided at Thiensville until the time of his death. He was a carpenter and joiner and one of the best workmen in his profession. Over forty-three years ago, he made us some furniture which we have yet in use. In early times and while residing in Mequon, we were the almost daily companion of the deceased and the other young men who came over with him, and many were the pleasant hours we spent in their company, being all pretty much of the same age. Later the deceased was married to the sister of the late Henry THIEN who survives him. There were no children born to the couple. All who knew our departed friend will bear witness of his excellent character and goodness of heart. He was buried yesterday afternoon, followed to his final resting place by a large concourse of relatives and friends. May the earth which has received his body prove a light covering to him.

THE INDIAN SCARE IN 1862
No person who was not an eye witness to the great Indian Scare in 1862, can have any idea of the terrible fright with which the people were taken of an indian massacre. This scare extended from and through Manitowoc County along the lake shore counties to Milwaukee. People were fleeing from the imaginary foe for their lives to Milwaukee and there was an uninterrupted stream of fugitives in wagons, on horseback and on foot, night and day on all the roads from the north leading to the city. Even the people lying on the outskirts of Milwaukee ran into the heart of the city. Chestnut street and neighborhood was blockaded with the fugitives and with such household goods that they could gather up in a hurry before the indians would murder them. Cedarburg made no exception but the people in the village and the farmers around here were at least as badly frightened as others.

Farmers came rushing in here bareheaded on bareback horses, reporting massacres in their immediate neighborhood, the burning of the Catholic church south-west of the village and lots of other improbable reports were received by fugitives. Many of our most prominent citizens in the place gathered up their children and the most valuable things they could get in the hurry and made a rush for Milwaukee. There was no use of remonstrating, all seemed to be crazy and seized with a panic for which no explanation could be given and which still remains a mystery to this day how hundreds of people lost all control of themselves being panic stricken and only seeking speedy flight. Among the members of our Cedarburg fugitives were two gentlemen who are yet alive and whose names we do not care to mention, who returned the next day from Milwaukee as far as the Brown Deer tavern, but rushed back immediately reporting every thing burning in Cedarburg and the people who had remained being murdered by the redskins. Of course there was not an indian within a hundred miles. HILGEN & SCHROEDER mill was to be converted into a fort station and those who had remained were put on guard duty around the village, keeping up bright watch fires during nights, never thinking that this would show to the Indians their exact positions. The 26 Wisconsin regiment was then nearly organized at Milwaukee and the representations of the fugitives were such that the Governor of the State ordered two companies A and L to Cedarburg to protect what little property and what few lives the indians had spared in their raid!

The companies marched all night and arrived here early in the morning.

At the late reunion of the survivors of the 26th regiment in Milwaukee, the well known poet Anton THORMABLEN, who formerly resided in Thiensville, read a poem describing the first action of the two companies and their reception in Cedarburg. We may add that we came near being mobbed while ridiculing the fears if the fleeing people and trying to stop a few vehicles in order to remonstrate its inmates upon their foolish and inaccountable fear.

Last Sunday a large and pleasant party was held at the residence of Mrs. BLAESE near Thiensville. Dancing and games were the leading features of the evening.

The dance at the Apollo Hall last Sunday was but slightly attended owing to the cold weather. All those attending report having enjoyed themselves.

The monthly stock fair held in this city last Monday was not as largely attended as usually. Very few farmers attended, excepting those in the immediate neighborhood.

Mr. Henry BUSACH was married to Miss Lena DIETRICH last Sunday evening. The ceremony took place in the Lutheran church in this city the Rev. E. G. STRASSBURGER officiating.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The World’s Minstrels appeared at the Turner Hall in this city last Monday evening. The troupe is a good one and surely deserves more patronage than they received.

We hope the next troupe will also be as good as the above and they will surely have a full house. The company left for West Bend yesterday.

That the distribution of books by the members of the legislature to such of their constituents as they may think will read them, does some good is admitted, and the regret of members is that they do not receive enough of these documents to supply all who will appreciate them.

This deficiency has often been the cause of making enemies, but it cannot be helped, the member only gets a certain number and must do the best he can. Years ago we heard a member of the legislature say, that he did not send a single paper or document home to any of his constituents, because he made more enemies than friends by not being able to supply all. He may have been right, but it was no excuse for not sending out these documents as far as they would go. We did so last . . . (unreadable portion) . . . of thanks which were not at all necessary for doing simply our duty. Last week we got one of these acknowledgments from Mr. N. E. BECKER of Fredonia, a portion of which we publish in the interest of fairness. He says:

“Whenever I had spare time, I spent it in perusing those books and found in them so many items of general usefulness, that I cannot delay any longer to render you my best thanks for them, which I hereby express, because these books proved both beneficial and interesting to me.

I had long sought some work on silos and ensilage here I found what I wanted. I built a good silo this summer, 20 x 30 feet and nearly 19 feet high, holding nearly 200 tons of ensilage -- but had only enough to fill one-half. The building is frame, studding 8 inches with tar paper and board on the inside, double board with paper between on the outside. I have never seen one before, and was only led to build in that way through the contents of the Agricultural Report.”

SAUKVILLE
(From our correspondent)

Aug. SHILLER who was employed as cheese-maker at Hilbert the past six months has returned home.

Among the many outsiders who attended the social dance given in WILSON’s new hall of Thanksgiving Eve, were noticed Misses Bertha ERLER and Katie RAU of Newburg.

The raffling of horses (old stagers not fit to winter) is becoming very monotonous here. Parties with such a contrivance ought to be ignored especially by our business men for they will surely be called upon not for the sake of the “quarter” but to root out that nuisance. Those who saw how things were carried on at the last one that took place here, cannot but comply with the above.

Miss Katie BACK of Grafton is visiting in this village.
