The steamer Orion of the Goodrich
Line arrived for the first time this season
on last Saturday, with Capt Finefeld as
master, Thompson as clerk. and our old
friend Driscoll as Steward. The cap
tain is new man On this line, but is a
good sailor of many years experience and
will no doubt make himself popular with
the travelling public Thompson, the
clerk, every body knows around here. He
is great favorite with the travelling pub
lie and everybody will be glad to see him.
1t is expected that the Str. Apena will
arrive tomorrow and the daily line of
boats will soon be in full operation.

SCHOOL EXHIBITION First
Ward School, Is as we have already stated,
now rehearsing for an entertainment, the
nature of which is entirely original. 1t
is Theatrical performance, and the plays
that are to be produced, have been writ
ten by Mr.. B. r. Anderson, Principal of
the school. Agreeable to an invitation,
we witnessed a rehearsal! a few evenings
since and were surprised to find that the
little boys and girls made quite credita-
bic appearance on the stage. All of
them have learned their parts perfectly
and move about on the stage with con-
siderable freedom. The exhibition will
take place at Turner Hall. Saturday eve
ming, and we believe, will prove an in
terestlng entertainment.

OUR LOCAL TICKET.

AT the head OF cur local column will be
found the ticket nominated by the Re.
publicans of the different Wards and the
Village at large. 1t is ticket which will
commend itself to the voters as eminently
worthy of their support, and one of the
best that has ever been nominated.
Dir. Charles Luling, the candidate tor
President, is an old resident, honored and
respected by all. His business brings
him in daily intercourse with our
people, and by his honest and staight-
forward conduct has won their confidence
and esteem. No man in our Village is
more respected. He will preside over
the deliberations of the Board with dig
nifty and the utmost fairness to all.
The candidate for Village Treasurer,
Mr.. Otto Troemel, was nominated for
the office, the duties of which he has dis
charged during the past year, with SO
much satisfaction to the people. His
books have been kept with the utmost
care and when a committee of the Board
examined them few days since, they
found that every cent of the peoples
money was duly accounted for as should
be. In short he has made an efficient
and obliging Treasurer, and one of the
best the Village ever had.
We have no room to speak of each one
of the different Ward nominees. They
are all men we'll known to our citizens,
and in every way qualified for the posi-
tions to which they have been nominated.
All of the Trustees nominated arc prop
erty owners whose interests are the in
terests of thepeople of the whole Village
That they will see to it that our local gov
eminent is conducted in an economical
manner, there can be no doubt. The Re-
publicans in the different Wards should
make great efforts that every man on the
ticket is elected. Republicans go to the
polls and vote your ticket.

THE UNION Town TICKET.-We men
toned last week the circumstances under
which the Town Ticket, published in an
other column, happened to be nominated.
The Republicans and many of the Demo
Gratis were anxious to unite and pick out
the best men of whatever political belief,
and elect them. 4 caucus to effect this
was called, but few men more partisan
mcharacter than sensible, claimed the eau
Gus ~asdemocratic, and swore none should
hold Office in the town but Democrats.
VI course this drove away all the Repub-
means and many of the Democrats, and
another caucus was called as Union
Town Caucus. Its action was harmo-
NOUS, and every man nominated is fully
capable Of performing the duties of the

MEMORY.

Memory is the faculty of the mind bv
which 1t retains the knowledge of previous
thoughts and events. Memory is also
remembrance. We make use ofmemorv
every day, if not for anything else, in
learning our lessons at school, Memory
wanders back. sad and thoughtful, to the
past; how many events we can remember
As we look back, we find there are bright
and dark days; days bright with blessing
and we remember numerous events which
gave US happiness in the past, and even
now give us pleasure as we recall them.
And we also find dark days, days when
friends were taken from us; how hard it
seems to give them up! What trial it
was for to see them carried to their long
resting place. Oh, what pain it gives us
to think of that look, that last fond pres
sure of the hand before it was cold in
death; not because they were to leave
for better world, but because we know
it was the last fond look and whispered
farewell we were to have from them in
this world. Islay Burns says, memory is
a painter, and [ think it is. Have we
not the pictures of our mothers, fathers,
brothers and sisters in our hearts? Do
we not all know how our friends look d?
How the school and playground looked
on pleasant, rainy or snowy days? And
do we not remember great many scenes
through which we have passed?
Many OF memory's pictures are gay and
pleasant, and many sad and beautiful.
How many gay and pleasant pictures has
1t not of our playground with all our
scholars there-some at one play and
some at another, others in groups, and
others scattered here and there. 1t also
has great many other gay pictures Of
different scenes. Then there are many
sad and beautiful How plainly we see
picture of dear little brother as he lay
In his coffin, and as we think Of it, how
we long for one more look although we
do not wish him back to this world of
ours where there is so much care and sor-
row and where all meet to part again.
Then we have the sad, although beautiful
picture of a departed friend how plainly
we see the anguish of those around that
death bed, and the almost sublime beau
ty of that friend after the spirit had left
1t also the picture of the grave yard
with It's numerous mounds, where all our
gay laughter is hushed when we approach,
and which now contains all that remains
of the forms that were once dear to us.
And as we see how memory retains all
past words and transactions, how carefully
we ought to guard against saying or do
ing anything which we would fain forget

VALUE OF TINE.


How few there are in this world who
fully appreciate the value of time, while
it's in their power to improve it. We do
not sufficiently appreciate the value of
the present. To us:
''The present is weary scene,
And always wished away;
We live TO be- and has been'
But never on to-day"
The most of US spend the greater share
Of our time, either in building s'air cas-
ties for the future, which will sooner or
later come to naught, or we spend it in
regretting our folly, of not improving it
to advantage, while we had 1t in our
power. Thus we waste our time, and
live and when we die they are summed
up in the simple epitaph ''born on such a
day, and dead on such another, with an
interval of three score years. We for
gel that noao is the time, in which to
shape our future; and that now is swift
ly passing away. Now is the watch
word Of the wise, now is engraved on the
banner of the prudent
Cherish thy to-day and prize it we'll,
or ever it be quilted into the past.

WHY Folks READ LocALs.-An old
local" who ought to know all about
things pertaining to his Departments, says
the people read items of local interest for
reasons as opposite as man and wife. A.
reads about the squabble in the late
Democratic Convention because he was
there and saw it; B. because he WASH t
sud didn't, G. because he had heard
about it; D. because he hadn't; while
those who had voice in it want to know
how much truth concerning them the edi-
tor has. deemed compatible in its utter
ance with continuance Of his own earth
" career. The consciousness, too, that
hundreds of others are simultaneously
perusing the same article, and that it is
therefore subject of common thought
and conversation. doubtless adds to the
zest with which ordinary readers eagerly
devour articles that otherwise would have
but & dull perusal at all.

TERRIBLE MURDERS!
A Vivid Description Of the killing.


just as we 60 to press we learn of the
most melancholy occurrence that it has
ever been our painful duty to record.
Death is always a solemn event, but when
the rude hand of the murderer w Hully
and maliciously sends the leaden messen-
ger that summons the spirit to another
sphere ofaction, then, truly is it horrible
But to be brief, the circumstances as we
learn them are as follows: On Monday
last two men from this place went out to
a sugar bush ostensibly to get some
sugar, but taking shot gun with them
they put it to a terrible use. When go
ing through dense thicket they met Mr..
Bonasa Umbellus resident of that
neighborhood and without hesitation fired,
and it is said, killed him Instantly. Our
informant is Mr.. App. Reil Fule, who
came to town early this morning.

THE CONCERT

Ihe hrst concert OF the Musical Society
of the North Side, last Saturday evening
was complete success, if we take into
consideration all the facts connected with
1t. There was but small audience,
owing entirely to the almost impossible
state of our streets, but those who were
present were of the elite of our village.
The singing was highly spoken of by
everyone. We liked the comments of a
gentleman from the south side. He said
there was only one thing to regret in re-
gard to the concert and that was that so
few were present to enjoy it. There
were some present who have received
good musical educations who pronounced
the whole entertainment superior in every
way. For ourselves we were entirely
satisfied when it is considered what a
short time has been used in cultivating
the talent which had been lying idle in
our midst. And we would mention some
of the pieces which particularly pleased
us. 'Murmuring Sea-" a Duet, was
sung by two young ladies who never be-
fore appeared in public. The soprano is
one of rare purity and sweetness; the
tremolo on the word "murmuring' was
as lovely as the hum of dying wavelets
when storm has swept the placid bosom
of the lake. The choruses were all good
and were rendered with a vigor that
showed energetic training, but ore from
Rossini-'Deep rolling clouds was pc
culiarly grand and exciting. Commenc-
ing with the Andante movement, the
deep rolling clouds slowly enshroud the
skies, then comes the wind, swaying the
tree-tops, then the lightning followed by
thunder and the rain in torrents pouring,
and finally the gale in all it's wildness
shrieks its fearful wall, the whole con
Guiding with song of praise to Him who
in safety keeps us when danger is nigh.
A Swiss song, 1.-TWO merry hearts are
we, was very we'll rendered. This Duet
has great deal OF merit. robin Ruff
Duet called forth some applause, and
the tenor was well sung, but that base
singer had better abandon TIE attempt to
sing double D, it is below his register.
Some portions of the Cantata of Esther
were very well rendered The solo of the
Prophecies, the duet. between Mordecai
and the Queen and tie song of Zeresh
and some Of the choruses were especially
fine. We should be glad to particuarize
further if space would allow We hope
if ever our young singers appear before
the public again they will have more out
talent here of very high order, and it
has found in Mr. Brainard one who is
fully capable of instructing it.

THE FIRST DISTRICT SCHooL

1t was our pleasure to be present at the
| closing exercises Of last term at Mr. Brain
ards school. There was public exam.
ination and though we were too late to
hear any thing save the decamations and
| compositions we understand .hct the schol-
ars exhibited thorough knowledge of
their studies, and those present were
highly edited and pleased with the reel
tatlons. We found in attendance on our
arrival, one Senator, two Ministers, and
quite crowd of gentlemen and ladies,
especially the latter We were glad to
see this, for the inattention given to
school matters by the older portion of the
community is truly surprising. Never be-
fore have we seen so many visitors pres
ent at one of our schools as re saw there
last Thursday. The exercises we witness
ed were of very pleasant character. A
prize was offered for the best composition,
and there were many contestants. We
publish in another column some which
were considered the best, as we'll as the
one which drew the prize, written by
Miss. Carrie Solberg. There was also
prize offered for the greatest improvement
in penmanship, which was taken by Miss
Ella Sackett, whose copy-b book was per-
feet gem OF neatness, and as might be ex-
pected gave evidence of great improve
ment during the term. The declamations
were good; they told plainly of future
excellence. Mr Fillmore Perry spoke
remarkably well, although towards the
last he seemed somewhat embarrassed. A
course Of study at some of our colleges
would tend to make him finished orator.
After the school exercises were concluded
a few well timed and eloquent remarks
were made by the Reverend gentlemen,
Stevens and Huntley, after which the
company dispersed. IF our people would
attend such exercises more frequently
they would enjoy themselves, the teach
ers and the younger portion OF the COM
munity would be encouraged to persevere
In their respective duties and studies and
general good would be the result. We
belcve-and we heard many others give
expression to the same idea-that Mr..
Bralnard is an efficient and thorough
teacher. He has our thanks for courte-
sizes shown the reporter of the TRIBUNE.

Our cotem porary, who supports
Sibree for County Judge, does not claim
that he is Democrat. Every Republi-
can of this village, and in fact throughout
the county, knows that he is not Re
publican, consequently democrats and
republicans come to the conclusion that
he is nothing but an Office seeker ready
as yeathercock, to change at moments
notice. Such a man as that is no fit
person for County Judge The people
throughout the county are beginning to
understand this and hence are going to
vote for W. w. Waldo.

We have it on good authority that
Mr.. Sibree recently told prominent and
influential Republican in order to get his
support that he was just as good Re-
publican as he eyer was. Think of that,
you democrats See this man, claiming
to be a Republican, get down in the dirt
for nominate on the Democraticticket!
The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1869-04-01

For the information of our readers we
publish few extracts from our cotempo-
rary, showing what the editor thought of
Mr.. Sibree few years ago-and what he
thinks of him now.
.[From our cotemporary of last weekl
Gas will be seen by the proceedings
published elsewhere, after spirited con-
test, the delegates to the convention final
ly came to the unanimous conclusion, that
no better person could be selected to guard
the interests of the widow and the orphan,
than Henry Sibree, Esq, and declared
accordingly"
From our contemporary of June II, 1851
Mr.. Sibree is doing the "dirty work"
for the concern. as yesterdays Smut Ma-
chme will testify. No better man for
that position could be found this side of
the Five Points. He is the same in
dlyldual who Travelled throughout the
county four years ago, calling the lament
ed DOUGLAS a traitor ''scoundrel,"
and 'demagogue.
[From our contemporary of last week.
''That Mr. Sibree is competent for the
great responsibilities attached to the DO
sltlon, and that his great experience in
legal matters will insure a thorough
knowledge of what is required to prevent
after trouble, no one who knows him will
deny"
AS an offset for the above we find in
an issue of the same paper, published
during the month of June 1864, that the
same individual above referred to, on the
authority of Judge Taylor as the editor
claims, is nothing but "a lawyers clerk"
In the same month and year our cotem-
porary very fatteringly remarked that
''scavenger Sibree" is nothing more or
less than "Markham's dog" After
hauling his present bosom friend over
the Goals for a month or two in such a
highly elegant style-as the few quotations
above made fully demonstrate-ou CO.

THE Two DoGs.-After reading yes
tcrday's iSnaut Machine, we consulted
with the spirit of our dead dog Pedro
HIS advice was that we pay no further at
tentlon to Sibree on has account that he
would rather be dead dog than an Ab-
olition editor.
We publish the above extracts as a
matter of history, and to refresh the
memory Of our cotemporary on something
which he appears to have entirely forgot
