" PICKED UP IN THE LAKE The steam
er Seabird yesterday brought in two BOYS
which it had picked up in a small boat in
the lake near Sheboygan. The bows had
left Manitowoc In the boat to go to She
boygan, but had been shipwrecked. When
taken off they were nearly worn out with
fatigue. The names of the two bows were
Jerry Wood and Michael German and they
were only about Ia years of age. When
they left Manitowoc the lake was smooth,
but gale came on and their boat was cap
sized. For four hours the little fellows
clung nervously to the boat, before being
taken off, they meanwhile in the water. :
1t was only by chance that they were dis
covered at all, for they were too far gone
to make any noise or to We signal. =
When the Sea Birds boat went along side
of the wrecked boat, the boys hands we're
found to be set upon the rail so hard that
they had to be pounded some time before
their hold was broken. 1t was a narrow
escape from death for the young navaga-
tors. "-Ddiy Wisconsin.
We are inclined to think the Wisconsin
is mistaken in stating that the boys were
from Manitowoc. The following from the
Green Bay Gazette may explain where they
came from:
"A DARING ROBBERY.-Last week the
pleasure boat sSii1us was stolen from her an
chorage, near the Beaumont House,
and up to the present writing no traces
have been found of her whereabouts. The
Sirius is sloop-rigged clinker- built boat,
22 feet long, with II feet beam. $25 has
been offered as reward for her recovery,
and $50 for the arrest of the thief"

WHEAT SHIPMENTS EAST. Two of our
cnterprising merchants-W H. Horn and
JOHN SCHUTTE-have entered the wheat
market in competition with the Milwaukee
buyers, and purchased for shipment direct
to Buffalo $4,000 bushels during the pres
ent week These operations have kept up
the prices to shade below the Milwauk &c
markets, and our farmers have reaped the
profits which otherwise would have gone
into the pockets of those who have hereto
fore monopolized the trade here and kept
the price of wheat from six to ten cents
below the Milwaukee market
If our other merchants and business men
had been as wide awake and enterprising
as Messrs. HORN and Schultz, they would
have controlled this market and saved to
this county many thousand dollars.
There is no good reason why our wheat
should be sold at prices which will warrant
its shipment from here to Milwaukee, there
to be shipped for an Eastern market on
vessels which touch here on their down
trip. Our wheat for such shipments is
worth more here than at point 80 miles
south, and we hope that in another season
different arrangements will be made by our
merchants and business men than they have
allowed to rule heretofore, and the prices
of wheat will be as high here as at Milwau-
kee or Chicago. When the next crop
comes forward Manitowoc will have the best
harbor on the Lake, and with JOHNSON &
GooDRIcH's elevator completed, will be
furnished all the needed facilities for the

SHIPMENTS OF WHEAT.-Since our last
issue five cargoes of wheat have been ship
ped from this port, showing conclusiyely
that Manitowoc is fast becoming one of the
best wheat markets in the West. The
shipments during the week have been as
follows: ~ eH
Barque Toledo, 1000 bushels to Milwau-
kee, for Mr.. CONWAY.
Schooner Josephine Horn, 1000 bushels
to Milwaukee for Mr. ToRRIsoN. f ia
Schooner Trial, 2, 500 bushels to Milwau-
kec for Mr.. WAGNER. p
Schooner Ebenezcr, s, 900 bushels to Buf-
falo for Schultz, HORN & Co.
Schooner Sea Gem, 7 1000 bushels to Buff
falo for the same firm. -
Capt. ALBRIGHT, who commands the
last named vessel, was the frst captain to
take grain from this port to Buffalo,
cargo of oats on the schooner Jo. Taes-
several years ago. This was the first and
the last load of grain taken east from this
port until now, when the Captain will un-
doubtedly have the satisfaction of unload
ing the second cargo-a more profitable one
at that port, and will hereafter have all
of his time occupied in the business. We
are really progressing.

MORE SHIPMENTS. The schooner Maple
Leaf arrived here Wednesday morn
ing, and Immediately commenced taking on
a cargo of 5000 bushels of wheat for Mr..

That MAN WdO was His Own
Grandfather.

Some time since it was announced
that man at Titusville, Pennsvlva-
MIA, committed suicide for the reason
that he had discovered he was his

circumstance, we will not attempt TO
unravel it, but give his kinsfClli in
his own words. lie says: II mar

WHAT HorE DID.-It stole on its
pinions of snow to the bed Of disease:
and the sufferers frown became a
smile-thc emblem of peace and en-
durance. 1t went TO the house OF
mourning, and from the lips of sorrow
there came sweet and cheerful songs.
1t laid it's head on the arm Of the poor,
which was stretched forth ut the
command of unholy impulses, and
saved from disgrace and ruin. No

FoR THEE AND ME.-There is an
old tale, which, though idle in itself,
the use may be good. A certain man
who would never go TO church, when
he heard the SAINTS, bell, would say
to his wife, $50 thou to church and
pray for thee and me-" One night
he dreamed that both he and his wife
were dead, and that they knocked
together at Heavens gate for en-
trance. st. Peter { by the legend J is
the porter, and suffered his wife TO
enter in, but kept tho husband out,
answering him, "Sheis gone IN, both
for herself and thee. AS TRY wife
went TO church for thee, so she must

many such couples.

THE OUTRAGE NEAR LElpsIc, IN KENT Co.
Nothing more has been learned of the particulars
Of this diabocal outrage, than that the boy Cabb
was hung on Wednesday night instead OF Monday
as we inadvertently stated yesterday. Nc reasons
are given by any person to justify the commission
OF the lawless act On the same day of the bur
ming of the barn, Mr.. Collins is said to have had
u few words of IN unpleasant character with the
noyi this, tkon ia connection with the fact that
the boy was absent during the burning of the
barn. is all that occurred to lead to the suspicion
that the boy was the guilty party: even the day
after the fire he is said to have been ut work as
usual, on the place. Mr. Collins himself surely
could not have suspicioned the boy or he would
promptly have had him arrested, in n legal man

extreme measure more than he docs. The pcrpe-
traitors Of this diabolical act were so disguised
that no one knew them. 1t appears that they
went to Mr.. Collins house on Wednesday night,
and during their absence from home asked the
negro about the house where Elias Cabb was and
they were told that he had gone to bed. They
then said they wanted to sec him. He was called
and on appearing ut the door he was told to come
out, that they wanted him to come and harvest
some oats tomorrow. The unsuspccting victim
went to them when he was seized by several men
gagged and thrown into n cart, prepared and on
hand for the occasion, and driven away and hung
to the limb Of u willow, ms stated in our ycster-
