THE ExCURsIoN.-Last Sunday was
great day for the fireman and citizens of
Sheboygan, Sheboygan Falls, Two Rivers.
Centreville, and Manitewoc. About nine
clock in the morning the fireman began
to assemble, and about hah-past ten they
marched to the Two River toll gate to re-
ceive the fireman from tharsiI lage. After
receiving the fireman they marched to
town again, and when they had reached
the South Side took little rest and re.
freshments while they were waiting for the
propeller Benton to arrive With the She's
boygan fremen.
After the propeller was fully in view a
delegation of the fireman and the band re-
paired on board the tug Kitty Smoke, and
started out to meet and escort he's into the
harbor. She was about two miles from
here when the tug met her, and when she
got near enough to the tug to be heard,
three hearty cheers greeted her, which
came back with three more from the Ben
ton. They then both steamed on to the
harbpr, and entered it gaily, with bands
playing and banners flying. The bridge
by this time was perfectly jammed with
spectators, so much so that fears were en-
tertained that it would 60 down, but hap
ply the fears were groundless. After the
firemen from the Benton had landed they,
in company with the others, and large
number of citizens, marched to Turner
Hall, where an eloquent address was de-
livered in German by Maj. Henry Bates,
after which dinner was thought of and the
firemen of this village each "gobled up"
two or three and departed. In the after
noon there was grand pic mic at Ger>
pheide's Garden on the South Side, and
wound up in the evening with ball at the
Turner Hail.
Our visitors were loud in their praise, of
Manitowoc and its frcmen, and all seemed
to enjoy themselves frst>rate, and not one
we have seen repents of coming to Manit,
owoc on the invitation of the fireman of
this village.

New VEssEL.-Mr. Jasper Hanson, one
of the best ship>builders in this part of
the country, has laid the keel, and has
about twenty ribs up of new vessel for
Mr.. A. ID. Jones. She will be a three
and>after, and will be able to carry about
10000 bushels of grain. She will be ready
to launch some time in November. Her
dimension are as follows Length, l22
feet; 26 feet inches beam, and feet
depth Of hold, which will be large enough
to make one Of the finest vessels that trav-
els the lakes.

Eg When once anything starts to 90
down it is bonnd to go, which is like man
who has started to go down hill. Every
one gives him kick to help him along.
Last spring, as our readers are aware,
there was quite freshet, and then it very
nearly succeeded in sweeping away the
wood work on the bridge which spans the
Little Manitowoc River Last week it
surcumbed to the watery ele.nent, but We
notice that it is now repaired all right
again,

Two HIvERs.--We paid visit to this
thriving town last Friday, aud found that
everybody we're as busy as they could be,
notwithstanding fhe hard times and scarcity
of money We also had the pleasure of
riding behind 2:40 nag over the Two
River road-which is really pieasure-it
being SO fine and smooth, and also free
from large mud>holes, as is generally the
case along such long road.
About half way between Two Rivers and
Manitowoc is the beautiful residence of c.
C. Barnes, Esq, which is one of the finest
in this part of the country. But there is
one thing that we would printers
have right to-and it is that little paint
should be scattered around there promis-
cuously, and then it would be resi-
dence fine enough for king to live in.
At Two Rivers We went for the tub,
pail and chair factories, just simply to see
the sights, for we had never visited those
mammoth establishments before. There
we found them '.just slashing things" and
the way they turned out tubs, pals and
chairs is a caution, and we were really
surprised. We felt very sorry that we
were not married, for they offered to 'set
us up" in their line. AS it was, we re-
spectfully declined the magnanimous offer,
and doifed our hat and departed
In the afternoon, in company with that
good hearted man, DR.. Charles c. Crocker,
we paid visit to Whitcomb's tannery.
AS our readers will probably recollect,
there was some talk of removing one Of tho
tanneries to Milwaukee, but as yet no steps
| have been taken in the matter and they
both keep on the go all the time as hereto
fore.
We then returned, and wended our way
homeward, we'll satisfied with the visit tC
our sister village, Two Rivers, and the tan
merry.
We had almost neglected to mentor
that there is the most whole soulcd set o.
boys i'll Two Rivers that We have met for
long time, and we are under many otliga
tions to host Of them, but will not men
tion their names, for fear that We woulC
accidentally skip one

GRAND CONCERT. Martin Fleischer, Of
Two Rivers, son of the genial Casper
Fleischer, Esq, of the same village, will
give grand concert at the Turner Hall
Saturday evening, assisted by our most
talented musicians. Martin has been to

and mysteries of the violin, and we advise
our citizens to 60 and hear him, for We are
sure that they will not repent of going

They lave, we are informed, bought a

better be virtuous if they want to be
happy.

The Park on the North Side needs
little looking after, as We notice that the
heavy rains have swept away some of the

it is rapidly being demolished. We sup
pose that the school children are good
deal to blame for that, but nevertheless it
is done, and must of co.. be repaired.
If ain t cone soon, we II go ne down on

A TICKET FOR A sS.-While De-
Haven's Circus was performing here, a
young lady, well known to the young
"roosters" about town, went to the circus,
and not having any escort was troubled
somewhat about getting into the show. A
young gent leman belonging to the troupe,
noticing her embarrassment, jokingly re-
marked to her that "hc would give her a
ticket for kiss" Strange to say she COM
piled with the proposal, and the noise it
made when their lips came into collision,
is better imagined than described. We
withhold the name of the fair damsel on
account Of our modesty.

which have appeared in our exchanges,
from all parts of the State:
1t is with sadness We take up the PiLoT
of the 7th inst, and read the valedictory
of its founder and editor, Jere Crowley
His health, long failing. has necessitated
his withdrawal IRON the editorial chair, as
he thinks forever" The publication OF
the Pilot, was commenced by hlm 10 years
ago, and in its conduct has proved himself
an able writer, an in2efatigable worker for
the interest of the city and county and for
the Democratic party. He is a man of
warm friendships and genial disposition
friend upon whom zoe have been able to rely
at all times, and however we'll his editorial
successor may build upon the foundation
he has laid With so much toll and care, we
shall sadly mis-; the master hand of Jere
But we hop lis forbodings will not prove
to be corr ct, and that he will be l5ng
spared to his friends if not to the public al
large.
