LETTER FROM TWO RIVERS.
Two RIVERS, Nov. 23d 1868.

EDS. TRIBUNE -
Our Village seems to have been selec
ted by the Fire King" in which to
commit his ravages. Last Saturday
night about haifpast eleven O'Clock, our
citizens we're aroused from their slumbers
by an alarm of fire, which proved to
be a small dwelling house owned by Jo-
seph Wagner, Before sufficient assis.
lance arrived at the scene of confagration
the entire house was in flames and not.
withstanding the efforts of some of our
citizens the building was destroyed.
The building was insured and the loss to
the owner will be small.
The dwelling house adjoining that Of
Mr.. Wagner was at one time in great
danger and only through the extra exer-
tons of small band of brave men
mostly from the Tannery, the fire was
prevented from spreading, and thereby
the entire block was saved from destruc-
ton.
This Is the third fire that has occurred
III our village this year. Z.

THE FRANKLIN STEAL.

JAS. Kirby and Edmund Brown, the
officials of Franklin town charged with
malfeasance in office were arrested last
week and on Thursday were brought be-
fore Justice EIdridge. They waived ar
examination and were bound over to ap.
pear before the next term of the Circuit
Court. 1t has been reported that Mr..
Peter Stoker received large bride from
one of these officials to say nothing more
about the matter, but this does not look
very much like it. We hope these men
if guilty, will be prosecuted and punish
ed in such a way as will teach them thai
honesty is truly the best policy"

SOMETHING NEw.-It is an old Pro-
verb that ''There is nothing new under
the sun, yet one day last week we had
the satisfaction of seeing bran neu
'Velocipede. OF course you know that
Is vehicle on which man rides without
the use of that hitherto considered in
dispensable animal the horse. Yes, a
man mounts his ''Pede," and if he is
strong he can get over the ground at
very rapid rate, say II or Is miles an
hour with nary boss, dog or other ami
mule, to aid him on his travels. Our
townsman, S. A. Wood Esq, actuated
by praisworthy desire to do a good
thing, set himself at work to invent one
OF these useful go-carts some time since
and the result is that he has produced
model that works like charm. IF his
expectations are realized he will some
time this winter put to practical test
his invention, and then we will know to
certainty how we'll his principle will
operate. Were we machinist we would
describe this little carriage, but we are
not. We can only say it will probably
consist of three very light wheels-about
four feet high, one in front and two be-
midland light body The seat will
be just in front of the axletree and the
power will be applied by the feet and
hands, working backward and forward
short levers which connect with the two
wheels behind. The fore wheel is used
Tor guiding the velocipede in any direc-
ton It is expected to make from twelve
to fifteen miles an hour without difficulty
on smooth road and can be used
by ladies. We sincerely hope Mr.. w.
will succeed in his undertaking, and
We do not hesitate to assert our faith
in the Invention after careful examine
ton Of the model.

The Manitowoc Cornet Band .

Our citizens are aware that some two
months ago money was raised to pur.
chase new instruments for Cornet band
on this side of the river The instru-
ments came duly to hand, the members
were all chosen and commenced practice
at once. It is no easy work to play a
brass instrument, and long practice is
necessary before even tolerable prof.
cheney is acquired, but this band met of.
ten, worked late, till finally they begin to
show a very good degree of progress.
Last Saturday evening we had the pleas
ure of listening to the Star Spaneled
Banner as performed by them, and We
were very agreeably surprised to find how
excellently they could execute the piece.
We believe no one of them ever before
belonged to band, and their success is
therefore all the more pleasing. They
are underline instruction We understand of
MIR. Weinschenck of Two Rivers, an able
and experienced conductor. The follow
ing are the names Of the members, with
the instruments they play:
". j. Besant, leader. E. fiat cornet.
Alfred Mosher, E. .tat cornet,
Almon Mosher. B. fiat cornet.
Eli Cone, B. fiat comet.
VIM. Clark, E. fiat alto.
John Symes, E. .tat,t alto.
VIM. McCullom, B. fiat Baritone.
H. A. Raine, B. .,aat Base.
Frank Serge. E. fiat Tuba.
John Langworthy, Base Drum.
VIM. Watrous, Snare Drum.
We congratulate our citizens on the
prospect of having another brass band.
1t will be great convenience on public
occasions, when more than one band is
needed. We cannot close this article
without giving credit to a man, who
probably did more than any other one
person to get the band started we refer
to Sam Stone who collected the money.
Friend Sam learned to like band down
South where the Johnnies nearly shot his
leg off, and he testified his interest in tie
cause by going around on crutches to get
money for it.

Can it be possible that over Five
Million Bottles of Plantation Bitters
have been sold during the past year
1t is almost incredible nevertheless it is
absolutely true, and it is almost eonvin-
cling proof of their medical and health
restoring qualities. Every family should
be supplied with these Bitters at what
ever cost or trouble it may be to obtain
them. Be careful and get the genuine
and that you are not imposed upon by q
spurious article.

The editor of the paper published
across the way does not like to have the
TRIBUNE tell the people who writes the
"heavy EDITORIAL" for his paper. He
wants to have all the credit for the "smart
things that appear in tie columns of
his paper, and desires to have the TRI-
BUNE and the people at large to under
stand that he is responsible for them
We gladly assist our neighbor in letting
the people know this fact.

gerously if not fatally burned in the fol
lowing manner: The boy, aged about
three year9, went to the stove took out a
cork t hat was in the tea-kcttle and inhal-
ed the steam. His tongue is all raw and
the little fellow suffers intensely.
