THE Fashions. Among the latest
Paris fashions we notice the following !:
A charming morning costume is compos-
ed with tunic of ecrue colorcd batiste,
with an apron of small plated white
batiste rufles trimmed with Valencienn-
es lace the skirt is also of plated white
batiste the body, in the shawl style, is
open in front and decorated with small!
founces and Vaenciennes lace. The
mantna- maker who devised this mixture
Of white and neutral tinted batistes, little
fl"unces and pufings, exclaimed in an
ecstacy Of delight, go, madame is it
no: of a seraphic simplicity, and of an
adorable elegance ?"
Many costumes are composed of fine
white WOODEN poplin, with colored satin
stripes; a deep flounce on the skirt is
bordered with velvet of the color of the
stripes; above the founce there are
four rows of hollow piaits, bordered like
wise with velvet.
The reclsngotes Of white or yellow foul
ard, worn for wrappings at the seaside,
have a jaunty boyish air, which suits
we'll with round and very pointed Japa-
nese straw hats the hat is lined with
blue or pink, or sherry coiored silk, and
fastens behind under the chignon with
j large black velvet.

\ PLEASANT AFFAIR. Through the
kindness Of some Of the gentlemanly
members of the Young Mems Associa
ton of this Village we, together with
several of the ''boys" from this side of
the river, were invited to attend the picnic
and dance given by the Association at
Gerpheide's Garden on last Saturday at
ternoon and evening OF course we went
and to say that it was heartily enjoyed
by us would not half express it. The
dinner was sumptuous and there was
enough to supply regiment. And then
the dance in the evening! Well, it was
just more than gay, and one of the pleas
artist affairs we have ever had the good
fortune to attend. The German boys
did all they could to make it enjoyable,
and they succeeded IN every sense of the
word. We return our thanks for the IA
vors bestowed upon US, and wish them
many more such happy occasions.

Our harvest of winter wheat is near.

Our harvest of winter wheat is near
ly completed and fully corresponds with
our expectations. A neighbor Of Mr..
Nachtway, in Cooperstown, sowed eleven
bushels and raised three hundred. Mr.
Luther Pellet, in Gibson, raised one hun
bred and forty bushels from four bushels
of seed, and Mr.. Augustin, in Kossuth,
raised forty bushels from every acre sown
last Fall. OF oats we shall probably
raise twice the quantity of any previous
year. Spring wheat is more doubtful on
account Of the heavy transforms we have
had lately; mnch of it has been lodged
and may get rusty. Potatoes, too, will
not bear much moro rain and some
fields are already beginning to rot. If
we get an average crop of spring wheat
and potatoes we shall do well.

immediately upon the adjournment IF

Immediately upon the adjournment of
the above mentioned meeting the Execu-
tive Committee was called and proceeded
to business. The proposal of Mr.. Treat
to hold the First Annual Fair of the new
Manitowoc County Agricultural Society
on THURSDAY AND FRIDAY the 9TH
and Sth Days Of Oct, 1869,
was fully concurred in. and that time
was fixed upon. The Fair will be held
on the grounds known as the Race Track,
on the South side, which will be fenced
and placed in suitable condition.
A meeting Of the Executive Commit
tee was then called to meet at the Book
Store of w. H. Guyles on the Monday
evening following, and there being no
more business to transact the meeting ad
journed.
So now We arc to have a real old fash
Toned County Fair! Thank Fortune
The matter has been placed in the hands
of a class of men who are known for their
energy and o-aheadativeness, and who
viii take the pains to devote themselves
to the furtherance of this project. The
General Committees in the several towns
have task before them and upon them
depends much of the success of the Fair.
We would entreat them, and farmers
generally to take an interest in this mat
ter and push the thing along. Measures
will be taken to place the necessary pa
pers in your hands by which you may
become members, and when this is done
see to 1T that EVERY one of your neigh
bors subscribes his name and comes down
with the stamps. 1t only costs one dol
lar to become member, or FIVE dollars
to procure life membership. Make up
your minds to take the Premium on some
article, and now that the ball has started
keep it rolling, and Manitowoc County
will no longer be the ''last shad in the
run, but go ahead in Improvement, and
before long We can show to the people
what it really 1s-the best old County in
the noble State Of Wisconsin.

A REFUTATIoN.-Asw we are accused of
having charged our Harbor Commission
ers with intent to put money into their
own pockets by the proposed sale of the
dredge. we hereby disclaim any such in
tention or idea. There is hardly one in
the whole Board to whom we would not
willingly and cheerfully entrust any sum
of money or amount of property of our
own without even taking an account of it,
and the gentlemen we have the pleasure
of dealing with know this and have known
1T for years. But, gentlemen, you, as
Harbor Commissioners, are dealing with
and are responsible to every tax payer of
this Village, and if you want any more
money to expend for harbor purposes
than what you have had, it is your sol
elm duty to state explicitly to the people
of this Village what you want to do with
it, as they have right to know clearly
If any Of our citizens have the smallest
account against the Village they must
have authority from the Village Trustees
to incur the expense ; and the Village
Board has no moro right to allow claims
or order payments without knowing the
specific purpose and exact amount claim
ed, as the President and Clerk Of the Vii
lage have to sign such orders. This sub
terfuge Of selling the dredge was sugges-
ted to you to cover up the illegal act of
last years Board of Village Trustees au-
tholizing you to contract for the dredg
ing of the river; but, Illegal or not, the
Village is bound, by common laws, to
pay the sum stipulated by your contract
whenever it becomes due and there is no
necessity for any subterfuge whatever.
Then, if you want to make any further
improvements have their necessity prop
erly presented to the Board of Trustees
as you did last year; see to it that the
Village Board obtain all necessary legal
authority, and your endeavors to give us
good harbor will be thankfully acknowl
edged by every man interested in the
welfare OF our Village.
One more remark and we close this ar
ticle. The Board of Village Trustees
and the Board of Harbor Commissioners
are in great majority Republicans
During the many years that our Village
Administration has been in the hands of
these men there has never been even a
shadow Of suspicion of fraud or wrong
in any manner, while the government of
our County under opposite admnistra-
ton has been and still is reeking with
corruption. How long after the signing
of the Village orders for these six thous-
and dollars will our party be able to claim
that high distinction of integrity and in
compatibility for every man who has ever
been elected or appointed to perform the
several responsible duties Of our Repub
lican Village Administration Wepause
for a reply.

LITERARY.-The atlantic Monthly for

--Messrs, p. Fl. Drake & Co., proprie
tors Of the Plantation Bitters, are said to
be the largest importers Of st. Croix
Rum and Calisaya Bark in America.
The Rum imported by this Firm is all
used in the preparation of their Bitters,
and is manufactured under the immed-
late supervision Of one Of their agents,
upon leased plantations on the Island of
St. Thomas. Over nine thousand punch
cons, about one million gallons, is used
annually for their Bitters alone. The
Calisaya Bark is all imported from
Brazil, and is also gathered and selected
by the natives, under the supervision of
an agent sent out for that purpose. The
cures produced by these Bitters are won

hear came within few rods of the house
of Mr.. Giles Hubbard, on the Green Bay
Road, trying to get at flock of sheep

probably have been killed. As it was
the bear escaped to the woods, and there
being no dog on the premises, chase
would have been futile.
