LAGER BEER. Tuesday last was thu
opening day y for lager beer at RAHR's
brewery, and that whole hearted gentleman
celebrated the occasion by inviting his
friends to the establishment. A large mum
bcrof gentlemen called during the after
noon, and choice foaming lager--fresh from
the cellar--was freely passed around, to-
gether with other refreshments. Toasts
and speeches. intermixed with sparkling
beer, was the order. of the day, until the
company separated early in the evening
all thankful to Mr., RAHR for his kind treat
ment
Few people know the extent of Mr..
RAHRs brewery establishment, and the
amount of CAPITAL he has invested in it.
The real estate and improvements must
have cost several thousands of dollars. while
his stock of beer on hand is estimated al
$ie,000 or $4,000. The brewery and eel
lar are worth visit.
P.S. Since we penned the above we have
been the recipient of keg of the article,
left at the Plot Office by Mr.. RAHR, as a
present to our printers. 1t is unnecessary
to say that they and their friends who par
took of it pronounced it superior to any
beer made in the State.

Pound DELIvERY.-Some little excite
ment was created about town last Sunday
morning from the fact that lady, wife of
one Of our Lake captains, broke into the
hog pound on the north side and rescued
two swine belonging to her from the hands
of the Marshal. She claimed that the bars
of her yard were taken down by boys, who
maliciously drove the property away in
order to receive the fee of fifty cents fol-
each animal. If this is tue, she was per,
fectly right The idea of paying boys fifty
cents for catching hogs, and thus enticine
them to steal, is a very bad plan, and
should not be sanctioned Hogs should not
be allowed to run at large, but tempting
boys to be scoundrels should be abandoned
by the Board of Trustees. Our boys are
bad enough now, and money should not be
offered them to make them worse.

The yield isreported to have been good,
and the price of the weed, although not SC
high as it was last year, is high enough to
make it very profitable business. We hope
that it will afford material relief to the to-
bacco-raising portion of the South. The
wheat crop in the northern tier of South.

no unforeseen blight falls upon it the peo-

South has already seen its worst days, and
that the coming harvest will be abundant
in every part of that severely stricken por-
ton of the country.

STURGEON BAY CANAL.-From the Door
County Adrocate we learn that WILLIAM
B. OGDEN, of Chicago, and number Of
prominent gentlemen and capitalists of that
place visited Sturgeon Bay on the Sd inst !,
and examined the route of the proposed
ship canal. By this work, which is but one

dred miles of dangerous navigation is saved
between Chicago and Green Bay The
route was thoroughly examined and found
to be peculiarly favorable for building the
canal, while the beautiful and spacious bay
on the lake shore, formed by prominent
points of land setting out into the lake at
its north and south extremities many mil IS
apart, called forth an universal expression
of admiration from the whole party as being
the best place on the lake shore between
Manitowoc and Deaths Door for the pro

friends returned to Sturgeon Bay fully sat-

DAVIS, a newspaper of that city says it is
the first visit that he has paid to that city

through Richmond on his way to Warren

in matrimony to lady, school mistress,
born in the north, but then engaged in
teaching in that place. He was married by
a Richmond. clergyman, and on hi. late

DIFFERENCE OF OpINIoN.-Tuo great
newspapers, the New York Tribune and
Manitowoc Tribune, disagree in opinion as
70 the justice Of the release of JEFF DAVIS
on bail. The former holds the following
language
2" He is at liberty to go where be pleases,
and not at the South alone, but equally at
the North, his liberation will be hailed as a
victory Of common sense.
While the latter sheet condemns the
transaction, and hauls GREELY :" over the
Goals " for his action in the premises in the
following indignant style:
- And then to think Of old Greely going
bail Tor such vile reprobate Alas for
Horace How are the mighty fallen -
We fear that GREELY will never get over
the above brilliant and caustic attack if he
gets glance at the number of the Manito
voc Tribune containing the wicked article.

SALE OF THE DUNDERBERG. The French
Government, it is reported, have purchased
the armor- plated monster, the ram Dunder-
berg, from the American builders, for the
snug little sum of So, 900, 900 in gold. AS
she was not completed until after the civil
war had ended, our Government did not
insist upon taking possession. The Gen.
tractors asked to be released from delivering
her, as they expected to be able to sell her
to European power for more money than
the contracted price. 1t was thought that
the Czar of Russia would be the purchaser
but NAPOLEON bid higher and has got her.
The Dunderbrg is the most powerful ship
of war in the ;7orld She is the largest wal
vessel that ever foased on the seas; hel
coat Of mail is of immense strength and
thickness Behind her walls of iron are
two fifteeninch guns, and twelve more Of
eleven inch calibre. 1t is believed that she
can sink any iron-clad in the British navy
in five minutes fighting. The Dundcrber3
is ram built and is intended to butt, crush
in and run down any adversary with resist
less momentum, as we'll as to hurl quarter
ton bolts at assailants. No ship of war il
any European navy could stay five minutes

France and England for superiority in non
