SCARLET FEyER.-This dreadful and
heart rending sickness has been disclosing
its terrible fangs among few families in this
village recently. In one instance, the NAL
ady became So prevalent as to cause the
death OF three children in one family, all
of which, died within two weeks, the fourth
child of the same family, was also taken
sick, but was recovering when last heard
from. This unfortunate household, We are
sorry to state, is Mr. Wienschenk's He,
who few weeks ago, was enjoying the
blessings of happy father who loved to
hear the merry prattling of the dear ones.
as they played to and fro with buoyant glee
in the sunshine. But alas! What a
change-thrse of the dear ones gone
snlitten by the hand of Providence that
hand to which we all must in future sub
nit not knowing how soon it may ap.
pear among US, we must meet it and be
content remembering that death alone, is
appalling to none, but those who fear it.
Thus, do our thoughts reveal to US the
mysteries Of the spiritual regions Of eternity,
as we gaze from our Office window and
watch the hearse as it passes by, thinking
perhaps, we too, may ere long be conveyed
by that same vehicle Of death, to q place
of rest-there to be forever oblivious and
unconscious Of the earthly ills of our tel
low men. Such is life.

Kind response OF generous public. The
First Presbyterian Society of Manltowoc, a
few weeks since, asked for two thousand
dollars to be used in preliminary winter
work on their proposed new church. That
SUN has been fully subscribed; and nearly
all paid. Our arrangements for contract
ing the whole work have been made. We
look forward with the expectation that our
beautiful structure viii lie complete within
one year from to day. Besides our availa-
bic resources, and pledges made by respoD
s;ble parties, we need, during the coming
year, from the citizens Of this village and
county, four thousand dollars, to carry out
our contract Lumber in all forms for build ,
ing, shingles lime, iron, nails and mater
iais for painting, and team work during
this winter, all could be made to count
with US as cash, if volunteered soon, and
help along our work. Can we not confidently
appeal to a public proved already to be so
generous, with an assurance, that an otjecr
