EARLY NAvIGATIoN.- Navigators are
predicting an unusually carly opening Of
navigation this season. The ice on Green
Bay has not been as solid and certain as
usual this winter, owing to the compara4
lively mild weather. The indications are
that the Straits will be clear quite early. AS
rule, Buffalo harbor, the Straits Of Mack
inac, Green Bay, and Lake Winnebago
open about the same time. A letter re-
ceiyed 10 Chicago, from Mackinac, Feb. 2,
contains the following
Last Friday the ice tloated off leaving
the dock and shore as clear as in summer,
but it has come back again, and to>day
people CROSSED it, also the mail carrier,
with Chicago papers to January Odd a
man left Seul Choix last Friday, and he
reports no ice above Biddle Point, and
none fit to travel on antll near.St. Hell ena,
it is quite good. Considerable snow fell to
day, and this probably will cause weak ice
and very early opening"

CHANGE OF STEAMBOAT INTEREST
We learn from the Detroit Free Press that
the propeller Rttsburg, which was purchas-
ed at Buffalo by Milwaukee parties, has
within the past day or two again changed
hands, her present owners being two well
known citizens of Detroit, Mr.. JOHN
GORDON, formerly In connection with the
Lake Superior route, and Capt. MORGAN,
formerly of Lake Michigan The Pits
burg, It is intended, will pig the coming
season between Saginaw and Buffalo, in
connection with the propeller Forest Queen
and a line of barges. She is already in
good running condition, but will undergo
some additional improvements. Capt.
MORGAN, mentioned above as part owner
of the propeller Putsturg, is our old friend
Capt. SANDY MORGAN, lately resident OF
Manitowoc, who has sailed Lake Michigan
as vessel and steamboat Captain since a
boy. We assure him that every man, wo-
man and child, from Death Door to Chi.

that be may turn the Prov Of lis steamer

The GAINESVILLE Murder.

The GAINESVILLE Gazette gives the follow
ing personal sketch of the alleged murder
Of Mr.. LAMBERT near that city, an account
of which we published last week:
Gas the public is just low greatly inter>
ested in everything re lating to the recent
tragedy in the town of Beloit, we visited
the jail this morning with a view of ascer
tanning some OF the antecedents oe the al

Co., Ohio, where his parents lived till he
was about nine years of age. They theu

terwards removed to Menasha, Wis. After
living there about three years they took up
their residence at Brllllon, Calumet Co,

Fsnianism in Meene.

FRIEND JERE As | prophesled in my
last, large number Joined the tenlans'
on Saturday evening, pledging faith in the
good cause, and freely offering effective
means to successfully prosecute 1t to the
end. 1t is certainly surprising to witness
the alacrity with " bich the Fenians here>
abouts are springing to the call, and pleas
ing to behold the devotion, the heroic at.
tachment to the land of their fathers. y
Nearly every member of our Circle were
present on Saturday evening last, all In
spired with the undying love of Liberty,
and burning with deep seated hatred for the
oppressor. Heroic speeches were made by
many, and firm resolve taken to STAND by
the cause to the last. That great patriot,
MARTIN Cook, delivered a well written
poetical address-his own production
which would do credit to MOORE or shed
lustre on BYRON TO an easy mellow
measure he joined words of fire, pathos
and tenderness that sunk deep into the
breasts Of his hearers. At the conclusion
of this splendid address three cheers were
proposed for the author which we're hearth
ly given and gracefully received by the
aged patriot.
The question of holding a grand ball, the
profits to go towards purchasing a green
flag Cor our organization was discussed at
length, and finally adopted in the afirma,
tive by almost clear vote. The ball
'comes off j. in MICHAEL HERR's large,
commodious Hall, on the evening of the
18th of March next, and will, without
doubt, be splendid success, as no person
with love for the oppressed, the down
trodden and the exiled will refuse a small
pittance to go towards the object of Irish
Liberty. EENIAN.

WASHINGTON S BIRTHDAY. The sun
never rose on more lovely winter morning,
nor diffused bis genial rays on more de-
sirable and brilliant day than the revered
22d, and rarely, if ever, have the good peo-
pie OF Manitowoc enjoyed so pleasantly and
appropriately national holiday.
The public display was made up of a
procession of the Rife Company, under
command of Capt. FRED. BECKER, headed
by the Manitowoc Brass Band, and attract
ed mnch attention their neat uniforms
and soldierly appearance was much adj
mired. The company was honored with
the presentation of beautiful fag-the
presentation speeches being made by Capt.
ADoLPH WITTMANN in the German, and
CHAs. I'll. WALKER in the English lan>
guage. Badger and Torrent Engine Com-
panies and the Hook and Ladder Company
were out In procession in large numbers and
in full uniform, looking and marching
splendidly, led by our new Cornet Band,
which made its first appearance in public,
and acquitted itself with great credit. The
procession marched through the principal
streets of the village, which were thronged
with people, and about O'Clock was dis
missed. In the evening there was a ball at
Fricke's Hall, given by the Rife Company,
which is spoken of as the greatest success
of the season. Had our health permitted,
we would have gladly participated in the
festivities of the occasion. AS it is, we re-
joice with all who partook Of the pleasure
of the hour that everything passed off With
the utmost of good feeling, festivity and
harmony. So may it always be.

JAMES L. BRADY.-At meeting Of the
New York Bar, in memory of the late
JAMES L. BRADY, ex Judge JoHNK. PoR-
TER, one Of the most illustrious lawyers vi
the metropolis, delivered the following elo>
quent eulogy on the character Of the de-
ceased
There was no man in New York who
united more elements of popular power, or
who could have used them more ably for
his personal advancement than Mr. Brady
but his independence of thought, aud his
geniaiity OF nature prevented him from
seeking for leadership except in his chosen
profession. He had other advantages IA
thorough mastery of the principles OF law,
a wide and varied acquaintance with almost
every branch Of liberal science aud art.
He had wonderful facility of Illustration,
rare power Of analysis, sometimes seeming
to be q creative power. Admirably balan-
ced IN mlhd, he rarely mad to retrace
step. The ease With which he seemed to
bring about his effects drew attention from
the means by which be produced them
His great achievements were in tellectual
In reading his speachcs one was struck
with the compactneSS and perfection of tho
argument. He never exhausted all his re-
sources in one speech. All who had
known him would cherish his memory,
even in their latest day."

LECTURE IN SHEBoYGAN FALLS Our
fellow citizen, DR.. D. j. EAsToN, lectured
in Sheboygan Falls on the evening of the
I6th-his subject being the prehistoric
History of Man''-which was very largely
attended, and seems to have given good
satisfaction. The Herald, printed in that
place, speaks of the Doctor success as a
lecturer in the following complimentary
terms:
'.The subject matter of the lecture mani
tested much historical and geological re-
search on the part OF its author, and con-
tanned rich fund of valuable information.
Without detracting at all from the merits
of either the lecture or lecturer, we are safe
in saying that it was too much condensed
for popular taste. The pre- historic ages of
Stone, " "Bronze" aud Iron" were very
happily commented, and the geological data
produced to sustain the conclusions Of geo
logists and archeloglsts, very geniously in
terwoven. Phe estimate ct time occupied
by these several ages respectively, though
it may approximate somewhat near the re-
atty, Is, to our mind, a matter OF specUia>
ton. The data IN our possession are, as
yet, not sufficiently definite ia their char
acter to warrant anything approaching an
accurate estimate Of time. That the ''age
of stone" occupied @ period of $500 years
of the Earth's existence, the "age of
bronze" $500 years, and the 'age of iron
any definite number of years, (the time of
the age last mentioned was not given al
though it occupied the latest period Of the
three in the world history that man ex~
listed through ali, and that the same was
prior to written history, are propositions
which we do not now propose to either af-
firm or dispute. 1t is much easier, by the
light of science to traverse the realm of the
shadowy and uncertain past, than to form
estimates Of time, in reference to the tran
sactions of these ante>histcric periods, that
can possibly be accepted by the learned, as
accurate. But we did not intend TO criti-
else the lecture. We in common with the
majority of the audience we're very agreea-
bly,, and proftably entertained, and wonld
like to have the DR.. visit us again. A
vote Of thanks was, on motion of Mr..
Horniman, rendered The speaker, which be
very gracefully acknowledged in some
timely and appropriate remarks. Come
this way again DIR.
