[ saw a man shot at and arrested 70
horse stealing. and a fight in which
two men were pounded out of all sem
blance to humanity, one evening last
week. Visited the Northeastern Office
where I met several old friends and spent
a pleasant hour The city is wide awake
and fiourishing Took the evening train
for
GREEN BAY
where l arrived at 10 o clock Went to
the Beaumont House of course. This is
one OF the best Hotels in this northern
country evrything being done for the
comfort of the traveller which thorough
knowledge of his wants and generous
desire to please, eau dictate The house
is crowded early and late A trip around
town in the morning gave me better
idea Of the city chan I had hitherto
possessed. | found Improvement the
order of the day. The new Court
House is an honor to the town, both in
architectural design and finish. The citi-
zens may well be proud of it. The new
pavement on Washington street is just
the thing needed, and adds inmeasurably
to the value of property along thatthor
oughfare. There can be no better pave
ment for such street than the Nichol-
son. One of the finest new buildings in
the city is the Klaus block, at the
foot of Washing ton street; it is three
stories high and built of brick. There
are many others [ might mention if time
and space would allow. The first &C
| quaintance | met on the street was our
old friend and former citizen John Rob
inson. He took me first to see his Drug
store, which is an extensive one and very
neatly arranged and then.to see his elegant
new residence which is inst being COM
plcted John introduced me to A Cues
nier esq. prominent lawyer. in whose
Office l spent an hour agreeably The
| Gazette Office having been removed
to Klaus block I travelled thither.
after going up about high as an Editor
generally goes unless he imbibes little
! or gets "Jloaced up" either by a steam
boat or BY some one who don't like his
editorials, [ found the editors engaged in
their various duties. They have large
room overlooking the street where they
can have all the sunlight and pure all
the heart could desire [ do not wonder
the Gazette is a good paper for with
such an office it could not well be other
wise: We are glad to know that the
proprietors are prospecting. They arc
sound political and right jolly fellows tc
boot.
[ also visited the Ac11ocatc Office anc
by Mr.. Robinson was shown about the
establishment 1t is one of the oldes
and most complete country Offices in the
State. Every thing that ingenuity anC
money can supply is there. The Office
is two stories. On the first floor is {
blank book and fancy goods establishment
and IN the rear press room. upstairs
is the Sanctum, and composing room anC
bindery. / say this much Of the print
ing establishments because I believe that
town which supports the best home
papers is generally safe place to To-
cate and make Investments. Among the
friends who gave me the cordial GRASP
there we're none who pleased ne more
than the jovial Colonel Ginty. The Col
oncl introduced me to many of the nota-
bles of the city and the afternoon in
company with 1ir. Eollett Of the Gazette
took me down in the Yacht Belle to see
| the Harbor Improvements at the cut off
We had splendid time, The improve
ment consists in cutting channel
through an island thus shortening the
! distance to the outer bay some miles
The work is about completed. Arrived
at our destination We had good bath
in the surf and then a regular dinner
on ship board, which enjoyed immense
iy, the jolly Colonel telling some Of the
most racy stories [ ever listened to. We
came back with heavy breeze from the
! South East which made our little craft
fairly jump, and the dishes on board
jingled a merry tune. There is great
deal of sailing done here.
One thing Green Bay needs very much
is bridge across the river nearer the
depot IAis will in time be built but it
should be done at once. 1t IS very in
convenient for travellers to walk . mile
around to get less than one-fourth thai
distance. | am pleased with the city.
/ had the pleasure last'evening of
listening to Matt L. Carpenter esq who
delivered one Of the most eloquent speeches
[ have listened to this season. His ar
euments areclear concise and unanswer
able Before the speech commenced
a magnificent flag from the ladies was
presented to the Grant Club of Green
Bay with appropriate speeches sc. There
was great enthusiasm Hon. p Sawyer
was on the stage and was greeted with
the most uproarous applause, which he
acknowledged with a neat little speech.
The large hall was crowded to its ut
I most capacity and hundreds went away
unable to get within hearing distance.
With this letter closes your correspon-
dence entitled ''Oat in the World. +"
