The story about that mysterious light to be seen at a certain farmer near Grafton has at last been solved. A great variety of rumors regarding that light were circulated and it is amazing to see how desirous persons are to hear “all about” that ghost and with what a tenacity they cling to such fibs. The solution of the whole bow-wow is simply this: An innocent farmer having the general welfare of his cattle in view has been mean enough to visit them each evening, taking with him a lantern the light of which noticed by rather timid minds, having given rise to so much gibberish, thereby disgracing the 19th century.

STUPFEL of Barton; Rev. STEMPER of Belgium. The sermon in German was delivered by the Rev. RECTOR, of the St. Francis seminary and in English by the Rev. RYAN of Cedarburg.

Seeing Mr. ALBRECHT on his last visit, I inquired of him how he feels about the removal of the county fair from his place. He told me that he did not expect anything else since the last fair. After the last fair, he says, some one of the neighboring town complained that he could find no seat at the fair ground and that the fair ground was too small for him. Another person from the same town, who is the owner of an old horse and colt, complained that there was no race track. Both persons are no farmers, do not own a lot of land and never exhibited anything at a county fair. Mr. ALBRECHT also said, that some of the business men in the village of Saukville never assisted him to keep the county fair here. Even at the last year's fair, a certain business man in the village would not take a member ticket. Under these circumstances, he said he could not expect to keep the fair.

What fine weather. Some farmers have already commenced spring work.

The Milwaukee river never before was so low in spring as it is now. So old settlers say.

On Thursday last, the passenger train going south was about three hours behind time on account of a wreck at Hilbert station.

E. WINKLER's house will be occupied by two families. Since so many of our young people of the village are joining partnership, very few houses are unoccupied, and it is very difficult to rent one.

How lucky is Tramp, he is at home all over and not troubled by a family.

Moritz HASSELBARTH of this town left last Saturday to take charge of a steam boat on Lake Michigan as first mate. We wish him a happy voyage during the season and hope to see him well and happy next fall again.

Tomorrow a town caucus will be held at Mr. GREEN's saloon for the purpose of nominating the different town officers. Everything is kept quiet but I understand there will be considerable opposition among several candidates.
