DESTRUCTIVE FIRE,
The Residence OF L. Sherman Entirely
DestrOyed-.LOsS 81 900, no Insurance.

On Friday, at p. M. our citizens
were startled by an alarm of fire, which
was soon found to be in the fine residence
of our well known citizen Mr.. Lewis
Sherman. in the Third Ward The af-
ternoon was exceedingly cold, and the
distance from town was so great that
before any considerable portion of our citi.
zens could arrive at the scene of disaster
the building was completely enyeloped
in flames. As natural result a great
portion of the valuable furniture was
destroyed. The piano was saved, and
some minor articles, but every bedstead
and nearly all their valuable bedding and
clothing, being up stalrs, went with the
building. A valuable gold watch belong
ing to Mrs. S. was picked up and handed
to her, but man(?) was seen to pick up
a pair of gold spectacles, also hers and
put them IN has pocket. If he hands
them to their owner no questions will be
asked, but if be don't he may find his
name in print and himself in fire proof
building, within short time. We ar
rived on the ground almost too late to be
of any service but we learned the follow
ing particulars from Mrs. S. She was
seated in her sitting room when suddenly
she saw smoke and smelled the odor of
burning cloth. Sending her children to
give the alarm she ran upstairs with a
pail of water and found the fire already
under good Roadway, but it seemed the
hottest in the girls bedroom. Finding
she could do nothing to stay its progress.
she broke window and threw out bed;
she then threw out some clothing and
the smoke getting pretty thick she con
Guided it was time to follow, which she
did without hesitation and was caught by
a man, who providentially arrived ,andwas
saved from serious, perhaps fatal injury,
as the distance was considerable and the
ground covered with ice AS the fire
originated in the west end of the building
and the wind blew from the west quite
fercely, the building was very soon
mass of ruins. The engines were soon
on the ground, but unfortunately one froze
up as soon as water was let into it, and
the other had to have liberal supply of
hotwater before it would work. But,
after time, both were in working con-
dition and good service was done, for the
bucket company was nearly tired out
working On the barn which was in
imminent danger, and we doubt if
it could have been saved but for
their help. Our citizens worked well
on this occasion, and if it had been pos
sible would have undoubtedly accomplish
ed much good. The origin of the fire
was mystery, at first, but it is now
known that it resulted from the careless
use of matches by the children in the
girls bedroom. This loss will fall heav-
lily on Mr.. S. and he has the sympathy
Of the whole community.

LETTERS FROM TIE PEOPLE.
Two RIVERS. March, Sth 1869


EDS. TRIBUNE:-Last Friday after
noon about 2 O. clock the house belonging
to August Wilep was discovered to be on
fire; the alarm was quickly sounded, and
the Fire department turned out promptly,
but their services were not needed. as the
Ere was quenched with about dozen
pals full of water. We understand that
the Badger Engine Company, are wait
ing for the Monitor Company to send
them challenge for trial of skill. We
think it would look great deal better if
the Badger Company would send in their
challenge first, as they are an old Com
pany, and we are but just organized and
inexperienced, but we believe we can
acash them ont at all hazards. I under
stand that the Dexter Hook & Ladder
Company Of Two Rivers intend to give a
Ball as soon as it is convenient for them
to do SO. f.

A highly intelligent lady resident

"A highly intelligent lady resident
of Sayracuse n. Y, says that she was
afflicted nearly year periodically. with
arrangement of the circulation. the blood
rushing to the lungs with such force as
to threaten congestion and death. This
was attended with the most intense pain
in all parts of the body. Failing to OBJ
tain relief from any of the physicians
whom she employed from time to time
she was induced to try the Plantation
Bitters, and to her surprise and JOY they
have relieved her: and she is now in good
health and flesh.

Solicitor of the Department to take the
necessary steps to secure the enforce

two vessels, which resulted in so large a
loss of life. The section referred to pro-

Of before any Circuit Court in the United

We invite especial attention to the
letter signed ''Taxpayer" in another sol
umn. He is one of the most prominent
residents of Manitowoc County-we veri-
~ don't know whether he is a Democrat
or Republican, we believe the former
and he is fully in earnest. The meeting
he has called will undoubtedly be held on
the appointed day, and will be largely at
tended by the taxpayers of Manitowoc
County. We hope every resident who is
tired of the enormous burdens we have
been called on to bear. will aid in circula
ting the call of Taxpayer who only
carries out the suggestion Of ''P" another
prominent citizen.

SALT FOR THE THROAT.

An exchange says: Gin these days
when disease of the throat prevail, and
particularly dry, hacking cough, which
is not only distressing to ourselves but
to those with whom we are brought into
business contact, those thus afflicted
may be benefited by trying the following
remedy: Last fall VIC were induced C
try what virtue there was in common
salt. We commenced by using 1t t'rcl
times a day-morning, noon and might.
We dissolved a large tablespoonful .
common salt in about half q tumbleriuiI
Of cold water, and with this we 8argied
the throat most elfccta&lly just before
meal time. The result has been that
during the winter we were not only Tree
from he usual coughs and colds to
which, as far as our memory extends
we have always been subject, but the
drv. hacking cough has entirely disaP-
reared. We attribute it entirely 70 the
salt garglc, and DO most cordially recon-
mend it to those Of our readers who are
subject to diseases Of the throat.

SAVANNAH.

We proudly refer to the election yes
terday in proof that the government of
Savannah is firmly and permanently
fixed in the hands of her own people
people who own the property, pay
the taxes, and must rise or fall with her.
The Conservative candidate for Mayor
is undoubtedly elected by near three
thousand, mqj0rty! and the entire
Board of Aldermen by nearly the same
vote. There is much that is gratifying
in this result. Two years ago it was
difficult to say on which side rested the
strength, while the county gave large
Radical majority. Now, Radicalism
has completely collapsed. The poor
deIuded negroes have abandoned the in
iquitous and sinking hulk almost in a
body, while the white Republicans
are, nearly to man, identified with the
conservative wing of the party and OPP
posed to all further adverse Legislation to-
wards the South. In Dent or Walker
contest in Georgia, they would all be
found voting with the true men Of the
South.
We point to this result as feather in
the cap of Savannah, and as assurance
to all the world that there is at least one
city in the South where the Southern
white man is paramount, and by the
consent of nearly all its Inhabitants
that decent people can live here in peace,
and that rights Of person and property
viii! be relgiouSly respected. The losses,
annoyanccs and hdniliations to which
honest, yirtuous citizens and their in
vcstmcnts are subjected in most other
Southern cities, are here unknown, with
guarantee that the hydra-headed mon
stcr Of Asrariaui@m will never be able to
raise its head amongst us.
And ono word as to the means by
which this revelation has been accom-
plished. 1t has not deem done by fight
i1g thenegro, but by friendly intercourse
with him, enlightening his mind upon
his true interests and duty, showing his
Identification with the Southern people
in all things, the willingness Of the latter
to do him Justice and confer on him every
right that he is capable of exercising
discreetly, by exposing the fraud and
wickcdncss Of his Radical deceiyers, and
in all matters acting fairly and squarely
toward him. This is the policy that has
opened the eyes CT the colored people
and inspired them with confidence in the
Southern whites. Satisfied on these
points, they feel no further interest in
politics, and are perfectly wiling that
white men whom they know to be SEN
siblc and honest shall have exclusive
control Of the government. Let this
same system be pursued everywhere in
the Sonth-act fairly toward the negro,
make him feel that he is safe, and de-
ccive him in notling-and our word for
it, in twelve months Radicalism will find
no foot,lo,d in our broad domaIu.-SG0.
Republican.
