ANOTHER CHILD Losr.-There seems to be

| III.
less than five children have been 10 st in this city
during the past summer. Three of them were
subsequently, found drowned in the harbor, and
two were found alive and well, only having wan
dered out of town ways. Now. the sixth one
is lost.
A little girl, only two-and-a half years old, a
beautiful, interesting child, was missed Monday
afternoon, about three o'clock. and search i'm
mediately instituted, has thus far proved una
vaiing. Not twenty minutes had elapsed from
the time the child was playing about the doorstep
before the mother was anxiously searching for it,
but alas, how fruitlessly! Towards evening, cri-
ers were sent through all the streets, and the
search was kept up till long into the night, the
parents in the meantime enduring all the agony
of suspense. She was the last one left of four
children and the poor mother is almost crazy
The parents are comparative strangers in this
city, having resided here but short time, but
they have the sympathy of all who have hearts
to feel for the bereaved. Their name is WRIGHT,
and the little one is ELLA.
The query is, what has become of the child !
It hardly seems possible to the mother; that she
/ Hhu ~ I4dht anu dllu tnCfC
is suspicion that she has been stolen-but then
who by, and for what purpose Those are ques-
tons that are asked, but at present they must
remain unanswered.
GALE.-The seyerest gale of the season oc-
Cured on Thu rsday night of last week. 1t
commenced blowing about seven o'clock in the
evening, and blew "great guns" until towards
morning, when the wind died away. We have
not seen a heavier sea this season, than vas roll
ling early Friday morning Several vessels
run safely into the harbor during the night, and
the little schooner Deer, loaded with hemlock
bark, came in leaking so badly that she sunk in
side before morning. We expected to hear of
more wrecks along the coast than we have. At
Chicago two or three vessels were driven ashore,
and one at Milwaukee, but fortunately no lives
we're lost, and but little damage done.

THE FIRST SNow.-We had little furry of
snow here on Monday last The weather for
most of the past week has been cold, raw and
rainy, and altogether unpleasant, giving us un-
mistakable signs of the approach of winter.

A Coon APPoINTMENT.-We are glad to
learn that our friend JOHN D. FOSTER, of this
city, has been appointed Freight and Ticket
Agent for the Chicago d Milwaukee Railroad
at Racine That is the most important and re-
sponsible station on the Road between Chicago
and Milwaukee, but it is in good hands Mr.
Foster is young man of excellent business
habits, me:hodical and careful, and the business
entrusted to him will be promptly and efficiently
attended to: The company could not have made
better appointment. Success to him in his
new quarters.
The person who took picture from the table
of Miss Simpsons Daguerrean Gallery one day
last week, will oblige those ladies very much by
returning the same to their rooms.
Is Wisconsin, a Fruit Gro,eing State From
the specimens of apples we we have received this
fall, we are inclined to answer in the affirmative.
Mr.. ID. b. MAYNARD, of the town of Salem,
brought us in, the other day, specimens OF the
production his orchard, comprising eleven va
rieties, among which were the Fail Pippin, a large
beautiful apple, as gratifying to the taste to
the sight Pound S,ceets and Golden Streets, both
very large and fair; French Pippin, Sreet Rus
set, Black GHifoper, Hoods Stoeet, fine fall ap.
| pie, very large; Romantic, small bright red,
compact fruit that keeps until apples grow again;
and the RambOu, also an excellent winter apple.
We have not seen finer lot of apples, even for
cign growth, this fall, than these. Mr.. Mayn-
ard informs that he has 20 varieties al
together, and that he has this fall over 100
bushels of this choice kind of fruit. 1t seems to
be settled fact, that in the line of apples, at
least, Wisconsin will not long be behind any Of
her sister States of the Northwest in fruit crow
ing.
~ We inadventy omitted last week to &C
knowledge the receipt of fsvors from Mr.. JOHN
HARMS OF Bristol. He brought into our Office
some dozen varieties of apples, as specimens of
the product of his orchard. They were all very
excellent apples, but one of them was the largest
and fairest we have seen this season. 1t meas
ured IA inches in circumference, and was of ex-
celent flavor, Few Of our farmers can show
lgreater variety or finer fruit than Mr.. Harms.
