Uuf darD0T improvements
We understand that Chicago firm, Messrs. Ledlie
Corse, are the contractors for the work on the
Piers at this port under the appropriation Of last
summer. We have been informed that their con
tract is for extending the north harbor pier 800 feet
and the south pier 400 feet, which will bring the
cutter end ofthe two piers almost abreast We think
tits the decision of all sailors that the north pei
should extend someway further out than the south
one. 1.-THE 400 feet were added to the north pier
and the 900 to the south one we think it would be
better. The Pier contract covers about $4,000 OF
the appropriation. as =" rf"~t@ ~.
Our fellow citizen Cas- H. Parker. with Messrs
Stebbins Alderman, has the contract for doing
the dredging between the government piers But
we understand that the line Of their work extends
no further inside the harbor than the inner ends OF
the piers This of course will enable vessels to run
in, but they will have where to go after they get
in, unless there is some dredging done inside Mr..
Parkers contract about $50 900 of the appro-
priation, leaving about $25 900 sti unapproprated
II is to be hoped that that will be devoted to dredg
ing inside, making full depth up to Main street
bridge and in the north channel far as the Island
bridge This would make one of the best harbors
ofrefuge on the lake-always accessible and once
inside perfectly protected against any wind that
can blow, with room for. half the vessels on the
lake. vn
We think it fortunate for the city that the dredg-
ing has been put into so good hands Mr.. Parker
VIII make given sum of money accomplish more
work than any other man we know Of If he takes
aJob ne knows the cost and is prepared accordingly
to do all that his contract calls for and more too
He is energetic faithful and honest and understands
his business. We hope when he completes this
contract the powers that be- will decide to expend
the balance of the appropriation in deepening the
basin of the harbor and give Mr.. Parker the con.
tract.

We elliptic above from the Milwaukee Sen

before that our ancient friend, the Collector,
had been divorced from his most excellent
wife, and we think his numerous friends here
would have been much surprised at such an
announcement, had they not known the liabii-
ity of printers to make such outrageous blun-
ders.
The truth of the matteris that Mayor Reyes

From the Editor Baraboo (Wis.) Republican.

DIR. " CLARENCE PRICE-The unbroken
regularity of the visits of this well known ply
stefan is at once the best evidence of his pro-
fessional standing and of his success in the
treatment of diseases. The quack prospers
best where he is least known, and shuns the
place he has once visited. DR.. Price has pune
tually filed appointments at Portage City and
at otner points in the State for years. Making
a speciality of chronic diseases, embracing dis
eases of the heart, throat, stomach, lungs, liv-
er, &c, he could find in this line at any one
point but limited practice. By widening
his circuit he has attained to practice such
as he could never otherwise have reached. His
present appointments now occupy all the time
he can spare from his home patients and labo-
ratory at Waukegan. These appointments he
will continue to fill with that regularity which
has marked his past.
| Those out of health can have implicit conf
dence in DR.. Price, and feel certain when CON
sulting him. that he is thoroughly educated
physician with years of experience in the treat
/ ment of Chronic diseases exclusively.
| DR.. Price will be for consultation on his next
visit in Kenosha, at the City Hotel, during
Saturday next, Dec, Sth.

The Island Bridge.

This is among the public improvements of our
city, Just completed. The contract was let only a
shor. time ago to our enterprising friend and fellow
citizen CHAs Il PARKER, who went TO work with
even more than his usual energy, and made short
Job Oft. The bridge is substantial structure, $40
feet in length 16 feet in width, with substantial
railing. The bridge is built with one movable
span with reference to swing if it should become
necessary.

some grading done before the bridge is open tc

Council on Monday evening last, for this purpose.

Our THANKSGIVING.

Our Thanksgiving.
We have some benevolent friends who came
to the rescue at the very last hour, and ma
terially aided us in carrying out the injunc-
tions of our good Governor, to give thanks.
Our friend W. A. GERKEN found that "Edi-
torial turkey among his stock, and immedi-
ately transferred it to our residence, where, in
due time it was proved to be ''all our fancy
painted it.''
Our old friend j. T. SHEPHERD, also has our
thanks for thanksgiving favors, which were
keenly appreciated, and it is to be hoped
rendered the recipients duly thankful for the
| occasion.
| Another friend LEVI ROBINSON, laid us un
dor obligations for tribute to the occasion
in the shape of young ''gobbler," which was
duly and thankfully gobbled."

The LIGHT House.

We spoke last week, of the progress being
made on the new light House being built at
this part The brick work was completed on
Tuesday la t. We understand that the work
will be completed and the lamp ready to light
in about two weeks. AS we observed last
week, great pains have been taken to secure
a solid foundation for the lighthouse. To Sc
cure this piles were driven down through the
sand, curb made, and an excavation then
made about 16 feet in depth, when solid clay
bottom was found, Upon this the stone foun-
dation was laid and filled up to the surface
The wall up to the top of the brick, upor
which the iron canopy for the light rests, is
50 feet from the surface

In this city. All business was suspended, and
business places closed. Religious exerci-

propriate to the occasion, to a large and in
terested audience. Rev. A. j. Mead pastor
of the Methodist Church preached to the NJ.

we understand delivered very able and ap-
propriate discourse. There were services also
at the Catholic Churches.

We would call attention to the opinion of one of
the leading papers of Canada on this subject:
Most of our readers have no doubt read some of
the numerous advertisements of Gift Enterprises,
Gift Concerts, &C, which appear from time in the
public prints, offering most tempting bargains
to those who will patronze them. In most cases
these are genuine hum bugs. But there are a few
respectable firms who do business in this manner
and they do it means of increasing their whole
sale business, and not to make money. From such
firms its true, handsome and valuable articles are
procured for a very small sum. and what is i'm
portant no one is ever cheated. Every person gets
good value for his dollar; because is stated it is
intended to act as an advertisement to increase
their ordinary business. ---.- -+-
We have seen numbers of prizes sent out in this
way by Sherman, Watson & Company, of Nassau
Street. N. Y, and there is doubt that some of the
articles are worth eight or ten times the money
paid for them while we have not seen or heard of a
single article which not fully worth the dollar
that it cost But this is only of the exceptions
of this rule for general thing the parties engaged
in this business nothing but clever swindlers.
