The sudden outburst of the flames permitted but little of the furniture to be saved.

(From our correspondent)

The Misses Minnie KROEHNKE and Annie HURST, of Chilton, are visiting at Mr. and Mrs. H. KROEHNKE.

Mr. Ernst ALTEN, who has secured a situation at the Capitol at Madison during session of the legislature, has been spending a few days at home.

We are glad to learn that little Mary GEHM, who had broken her leg so unfortunately, is again able to move about.

Our brewers have filled their ice houses with the clear crystal and can now note the changes of the weather with more ease.

Mr. Ernest G. MEMMLER, together with the local sports, is mourning the loss of a valuable dog. Judging by the expressions of the sports, the cur, although quite young, promised to cut a conspicuous figure either on the bench, or in the field or the pit.

The question agitating the inhabitants of this county is to find a suitable place for the holding of the county fair. Should the fair be held at Port Washington, it would not be patronized very much by the people from the southern towns, as it is very inconvenient for them to get there. Around here they are mostly in favor of Cedarburg.

We heartily approve of the action of Hon. F. W. HORN at the legislature, in the Kate BUSHNELL humbug. In regard to morality the State of Wisconsin will favorably compare with any other state in the Union, and all attempts made by any hypocritical cranks to slander our commonwealth should promptly be rebuked. -- SCRIBBLER

Next winter the factory will triple the amount of pounds of milk as they do now. Messrs. SMITH and EASTMAN have expended quite an amount of money for machinery, etc. I hope they will meet with success.

Our ice bear engaged quite a number of teams to fill up his ice houses at Saukville and Port Washington.

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEWS

Random Lake, Wis., Feb. '89
Hon. Fred. W. HORN, M.A. and editor of the NEWS:
Dear Sir. In regard to the request by Mr. COTTER to have a new dog license law passed, I will give you in a few words, the opinion of farmers in general. The greatest nuisance in the dog line is the keeping of two or more of the canine species together, and experience shows, that the greatest harm is done where two or more are together. The expressed opinion of farmers in this vicinity is that each farmer should be entitled to keep one dog free from any tax or license, but that the owner of more than one should pay an annual tax of five, ten, or more dollars, as the case may be.

The above was written coolly without prejudice or selfishness, because your correspondent is the happy owner of NO dog at all. -- N. E. B.

TEACHERS' INSTITUTE

The teachers of Ozaukee Co. will hold an institute at Saukville on Feb. 21 and 25. The day sessions will be conducted by Prof. S. Y. GILLAN of the Milwaukee Normal and a lecture will be given on the evening of the 21st by Dr. J. W. STEARNS of Madison.

This promises to be a highly interesting and instructive meeting. Prof. GILLAN is one of the five regular institute conductors and is ranked among the leading educators of this section. Dr. STEARNS is too well and favorably known by our teachers to need further mention. There will be music and a few short and lively papers or addresses by home teachers. No academic work will be done; it will all be purely professional. By chap. 186, laws of 1885, school boards are authorized to allow teachers their wages while attending institute.

No intelligent board will fail to see that a day's contact with fresh ideas will result in more good to the school than the same time spent plodding on without any renewed inspiration. Let teachers show their interest in their work by being present at all sessions. All friends of education are cordially invited to attend. Trains on the M & N Ry run at convenient hours. The people of Saukville have kindly offered us the use of their school house which is the handsomest public school building in the county. Hotels and private houses will entertain all who may attend.

On Wednesday about three o'clock in the morning of last week, we were disturbed from our slumber by the cry of fire and the ringing of the fire bell. We soon found out that the roller mills at Mechanicsville, about half a mile north of our village, was on fire. The hook and ladder company together with the fire company, went to the place of fire as fast as possible. Arriving there, they saw that it was impossible for them to save the building or any of the contents. The night was very cold. Mr. LEU, the proprietor of the mill, was absent on business in Milwaukee and was notified of the fire the same morning. How the fire originated nobody knows. The hands employed in the mill locked the same Tuesday evening about five or six o'clock and claim that before leaving the mill, everything was in good order and not the least sign of fire. The loss sustained by Mr. LEU is considerable. The mill was insured in different insurance companies at about $5000. As soon as the damages are adjusted by the agents of the different insurance companies, Mr. LEU intends to rebuild.

The Suit Against the Late Treasurer, Mr. AHLHAUSER and His Bondsmen

On our return home last Saturday, we found the following communication from the District Attorney, Mr. SCHWIN, on our table, which will explain itself. We were in the hopes that the matter would be brought on at the March term of the Circuit Court, but it will have to go over until fall, under the rules of the Court. It is only staving off the evil day, unless the Legislature should come to the relief, of which there is but very little hope. Members fear the precedent thus given, which will be the main cause of the defeat of the bill, if such should happen, although there have been one or two somewhat similar cases, where relief by the state was granted.

Friend HORN:
The case of Ozaukee county vs. William AHLHAUSER, et al. is not to be tried at the Spring term, as TURNER and TIMLIN att'ys for def's, served an order they got from the Court, on me, extending the time for them to answer twenty days from to-day. This is only to gain time and put it over the term. -- Yours, H. B. SCHWIN

EXCELSIOR MILLS IN RUINS
Fire destroys the large Flour Mill together with the Saw Mill at Cedar Falls early last Wednesday morning.

At an early hour last Wednesday, our quiet city was aroused by the alarm of the fire bell. The firemen soon gathered at the engine house and in a short time were on their way with their engine to the scene of the fire. When they arrived, it was found impossible to save the mill, the fire having made too great a head-way, so their attention was directed to save the surrounding buildings.

The fire originated in the rear of the saw mill and must have been smoldering for hours before it was discovered. The flames from the saw mill, which is immediately back of the flour mill, soon swept through the rear windows of the flour ills which was ablaze and beyond all control in a short time; at about 9 o'clock nothing was left but the four massive stone walls, which were badly cracked from the intense heat. Nothing was saved by the books which were secured in a safe and found after the fire. The stock on hand amounted to about $200 and was not insured. The mill was only insured at $500 and the loss on building and stock is estimated at $13,000.

TEACHERS' MEETING OF SAUKVILLE

The teacher of this county attended a two-day institute last week at Saukville in the new school house which building is indeed quite a spacious as well as a pretty one. The institute was conducted by Prof. GILLAN from the Milwaukee Normal School, relieved at times by Prof. ACKERMANN and Prof. BLONDEL, who rendered topics on 'practical drill' in Arithmetic, Ventilation of Schoolrooms and Word Analysis, respectively. In the evening of the first day's session, the room was perfectly crowded by persons eager to hear the lecture to be delivered by Dr. STEARNS. The Doctor talked on “Our Teachers” clearly and precisely, giving an interesting account of the early history of OBERLIN, PESTOLOZZI and FROEBEL; setting forth the necessity of the spontaneous growth of the child's mental faculties, thereby showing that a teacher, to be a successful one, must have a definite knowledge of the needs and nature of a child. He used a number of well-selected stories to illustrate his points.

The pleasantness of the afternoon session of the second day was somewhat marred by leaving of persons at different times so as to meet their trains. In the evening of that day, immediately after the closing of the institute, Prof. GILLAN gave those yet present a very interesting account of his journey to Washington, D. C. and Mt. Vernon. Mr. FOSTER, of Port Washington, also delivered an address to the institute on “Literature”.

Besides a number of visitors, seventy teachers out of a force of seventy-one were present. This indeed speaks well and needs no remarks. The summer institute will be held, commencing July eighth, probably at the same place.

At the close of the institute, the following resolution was proposed and unanimously accepted by the institute.

Resolved, that we, the members of this Institute, tender our sincere thanks to Mr. Dan. E. McGINLEY, for the great pains he has taken in appropriately decorating his school building and in doing every thing in his power to make the occasion agreeable. Kind recognition also is due Mr. AHLHAUSER, for the use of his piano and Messrs. ALBRECHT, BOERNER Bros. and others for the use of lamps, chairs, etc.

Signed -- B. H. MEYER, F. H. BLONDEL, Rob. A. BOHRTZ, S. EDWARDS

Our teachers returned from Saukville highly pleased with the Institute held there. They report the attendance of nearly all the teachers of the country and think that the work done has been very useful. They especially express their satisfaction at the selection of such a centrally located place as Saukville with all its splendid accommodations. -- SCRIBBLE

Some of the boys say the next on the wedding roll is a Willie.

The mask ball held at Jos. ALBRECHT Jr. last Saturday was a success. There were over one hundred admission tickets sold and some fine and costly masks were in attendance. All seemed to enjoy themselves.

Henry LUTFRING of the town of Saukville was married last Wednesday to Miss K. ELLENBECKER of the city of Port Washington. The matrimonial ceremonies took place at the St. Mary's church at Port Washington by Rev. H. WILLMES. Next morning the happy couple left for Chicago on a wedding tour. On their return they will make a call at John LUTFRING in Milwaukee and from there start for their future home at Saukville. We wish them a long and happy life.

One day last week, a trio consisting of two females and a male person arrived here in the afternoon and were looking for a stopping place over night. They hailed from Milwaukee and walked to this village. They looked suspicious and one of our citizens telephoned to Milwaukee and inquired if any girls escaped from the Industrial Institutions there, for they were too poorly dressed for such cold winter days, but received an answer that no one escaped. The next day they left toward Fredonia intending to go somewhere up north.

The dwelling house of a widow named THOMAS, about four miles from Port Washington, caught fire early last Saturday morning. The fire originated on the lower floor and as they slept on the second floor, they were no aware of the fire until the constant whistling of a passenger train aroused them from their slumbers. They had a narrow escape and some of them jumped out of the windows to save their life. A boy was quite severely burned. The building and contents were insured in the Saukville Fire Ins. Co. -- TRAMP

MEYER, our teacher and his pupils will give an entertainment in the Singer Hall next Saturday evening consisting of Recitations, Tableauxs, Singing, etc. All who are interested in our school should manifest their interest by their presence, both to encourage the good work being done in our school and also for their own pleasure. Mr. MEYER is an able teacher and takes great interest in his work which his pupils do not fail to appreciate.
