Sunshine and ShGdOaU an NeU
York. BY Matthew Hale
Smith. Illustrated: 724 PIP.
Hartford, Conn: j. B. Burr
& Go. 1868.
1t is not always that we can
commend our readers to pur-
chase books of real value even,
for these may be so prosy,
though full of important facts,
as to lie forever unread on their
shelves. Butin the book whose
title we quote above, the judi
cious and enterprising publish
ing house of j. B. Burr & CO.,
who know how to cater to the
wants of the public, the people
have something at once very
valuable and readable. Who
ever opens the book to read
will not permanently lay it
aside till he has gone over
every line of its 80 chapters,
and he cannot but feel that he
is more than paid for the cost
of the book several times over,
in the valuable facts, spicy in
cidents, ETC., with which the
book is filled. He will, in
short, know New York far bet
ter than the majority of her
native citizens and to know
New York in all her aspects :
her high life and low life /; her
good and evil; her vast for
tunes and her countless mis-
fortunes +; how her great finan-
cial leaders have won their
honest successes, and how bril-
liantly vice shines, or sadly it
wallows in its infamy beside
them, is to know about all there
is to be known of the active
life of the whole country; for
New York is not only the COM
mercial center of America, but
q reflection of all the good and
bad in the land.

GREEN BAY.-We learn from the Adro-
cate that a man named VIM. Eamon,
working in Doty's shingle mill, on the
Shawano road, lost two of his fingers on a
Valentine single machine, last Saturday.
The SANG paper reports heavy crop
of rain at that point At Fort Howard
on Friday last, John Bachman, switchman
at the Fort Howard station, narrowly es-
capped losing his life by being caught be.
tween a moving car on one track, and q
stationary one on another. He was caught
by the breast and shoulders and whirled
around between the two cars, breaking ono
lib and bruising him severely.

Our rapidly declining health admonishes
US that the time has come when we must
sever our connection with The Pilot, take
our leave Of its readers, and close up, We
fear forever, our career as a journalist.
For long months back we have fondly
hoped that with the opening of the leaf,
the i'll that afflcts us would relax its hold,
and that the balmy influences Of the sum
mer months would re-nvigorate US with
strength sufficient for at least partial dis
charge of our editorial duties But alas !
our hopes have not been realized, ard our
duty to our readers demands that We de-
liver over to abler hands the management
and control of the PILOT, who have health,
ability and enterprise enough to make it
worthy of the support and patronage of its
long list of friends and patrons. That the
necessity for, and the taking of this step
costs us no ordinary pang, will readily be
believed by all who know us; but the dc
crees Of The Divine will are above us all
and We humbly submit to the behests of
Heaven.
1t is something over ten years since we
published the first issue of the PILOT
Coming here a comparative stranger, empty
handed, 1t was a labor of no little difficulty,
with the competition then encountered, to
obtain foo,hold, and we thank fully say it
here tha; we would have signally failed had
it not been for the warm hearted and dis
interested support almost Immediately tens
dered and constantly manifested toward US
since our settlement ia AIanitowoc
That We have labored earnestly, and to
the extent of GU. ability, in the interest of
the party with which we have been ilenti-
fled all the days Of our life, will hardly be
denied by any one; that we have not com
mitted errors We dare not say, for to 'step
aside is human.
To our many friends in Manitowoc coun>
ty and elsewhere we return our heartfelt
thanks for their oft repeated favors and
kindly personal tokens of regard And to
the press of Wisconsin generally we are
under weight of obligation that can hard
y be expressed, for long years of constant
favor and consideration
And now, in bidding farewell to the read
ers of the PILOT, we commend to their ia
sor our successor, +. b. TREAT, Esq, into
whose hands the editorial control of the
Pilot has gone, and beg of them that the
same support, consideration and forbear,
ance that has been so long extended to US
may be given to him, and with a final God
bless you all, | bid you good bye

ACCIDENT IN Two RIVERS. Last Sat
urday evening, about haf-past eleven
o clock, a young man named Henry Mi
ners, met with an accident which will prob>
ably distroy his eyesight forever. 1t seems
that he was preparing to celebrate the
Fourth, and in SO doing bored a large bole
III pine stump and filled it with powder.
He then applied piece of paper to it,
which did not iul Immediately ignite, and in
order to be sure of its going off he put his
face to the lighted paper and blew it, and
the result was that it went off before he
could get away from it. His left eye is en-
tirely blinded, but the right one is so
sweled that it is impossible to tell VIII: :ther
he will loose it or not.

a proper man can be found tc fill it.
when that will be, | cannot tell | hope
soon. But while | do conduct the editorial
department of this paper, | viii promise
you that | will do it, with such abilities
and means as [ possess, honestly, inde
pendertly and fearlessly. Always forward
TO condemn and punish public wrongs, and
eager to applaud and defend public lights.
The PILOT will continue to advocate Dem
ocratic principles, because | believe that
by these principles, and measures, only,
can this country be preserved to prosperity
AMI freedom, and | know that there are
thousands of thinking conservative men
who have for years past, for reasons to

these men now see that the Republican par

ANOTHER Circus COMBINATION. -
We learn that another troupe" are about
to make raid upon the fifty cent pieces
Of our citizens. La consideration therefor.
they will exhibit their half dozen painted
horses at gallop round the ring, rode by
men and women in tights, standing, and
will jump through hoop and bus t a news
paper in the operation, &c, &c. Some
half dozen timber men ard boys will turn a
few hand springs, stand on their heads,
and do many other wonderful things never
done in this place before. Also, the paint
ed clown will say great many smart
things to the ring master,' and the ring
master will snap his whip at Mr. "Clown, y
and Mr. Clown" will Jump" as though
he was hit, and all this is not one half of
the show. After the 'Combination" has
performed, then the side Combinations
come in. The big woman, the little man.
the monkey, the snake, and the wonderful
female caught in Caucassia, and born in
Southern Illinois, all will yet be to be seen
for twenty five cents.
Now We do not omise that all of the
above wonders will be exhibited by the
coming Combinations. The last great
Combination we had was pronounced tc
be humbug," If the coming Com,
bination is anything more, we shall see tf
1t they have proper credit.
