Here endeth this lesson.

SUICIDE.-It is our painful duty to in
form cur readers ofthe sudden death Of
one ofthe Oldest and earliest settlers ofour
county, Mr. Wiemann, of Neshoto, who
in fit of insanity took his own life last
Monday evening in the rear of his farm
on the Neshoto river, by shooting himself.
We have known him since he first
landed in Two Rivers some twenty-fye e
years ago, with his wife and numerous
family Of little children. He bought a
farm near Neshoto on which he has work
ed hard ever since, SO that he was in quite
good circumstances still the fixed idea
grew upon him that he was poor and that
his credit was ruined forever, which, with
increasing coniugal difficulties, led him to
end his troubles by taking his own life.
He was we'll educated and, wherever
known, highly esteemed for his strict
honesty in every transaction and urbanity
and kindness to his family aud friends.

STRUCK BY LTGHTNG.-During the
severe storm on Tuesday night last the
lighting struck a house Oh the Sheboy-
gan road some Is miles from the city, in
which resided a German farmer named
Glasson, his wife and several small chill
dren. All were paralyzed by the shock,
and the building taking fire they would
have been consumed had not the neigh
bors perce;vlng the flames, came to the
rescue. They were none too soon, as
the last child was with difficulty taken
from 5he burning building ere it fell.
The family recently came to this county
from Pennsylvania, and were in rather
INDECENT circumstances. None of the
furniture nor household goods were
saved. The mother was in town yester-
day asking aims and met with gener-
ous donation from those Of our citizens
upon whom she called

PERsoNAL.-Mr. L. B. Noyes Of the
Sheboygan Herald was in the city on
Saturday last. While in conversation
with him he remarked that Nanitowoc
was lively town, and its prospects for
future greatness were good. His frank
ness IS commendable.
Mr.. David E. Markham, who recent.
ly established his law Office in Neenah,
was in the city several days. He took
his departure for home this morning.
Miss Mary Borcherdt, who passed
the winter in Memphis, Tenn, returned
on Friday morning.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS direct
attention to several new advertisements
in to-day's paper, prominent among
which is the large double-column ad of
Mr.. j. E. Platt, in which he announces
the arrival of his stock Of spring goods.
Another is that of Messrs. Smart and
Pankratz, lumber merchants, which tells
where to set the best lumber in the mar
ket at the lowest price. Our advertising
patrons, generally, are the most liberal
minded gentlemen in the community, and
our advice to purchasers is, pstronize
those who give you public invitation
through the columns Of the press.

THE EXHIBITION.

The exhibition Of the First Ward
School, under Mr.. B. r. Anderson, Prin
cipal. was witnessed by crowded house
on Saturday evening last-every seat in
Turner Hall being occupied.
The opening piece, death Star OF
Powhattan, . was well rendered, each of
the participants doing excellently, show
ing much practice, and a large amount of
work by Mr.. Anderson, who is deserving
of much praise for the manner in which
tie performance was gotten up. The
fact that the whole programme was oriei-
nal is proof that there was an immense
amount of hard labor On his part, as also
there was by the scholars.
In that play, although all did well,
there were few who from the nature
Of their parts had more opportunity to
bring themselves out" Miss Carrie
Mensch and Rudolph Hottleman had
The most difficult pieces, and rendered
their parts in manner that won for
them the admiration and applause of
ali.
The defamation by Miss Viola Ander-
son, Little Nell, the Beggar Girl" was
excellent, that young lady giving it on a
natural andseasy manner, that was loudly
applauded.
Miss Mench's singing was excellent
and called forth % d encores from the
audience. But little practice on her part
would place her in high position among
the singers of our city.
The three tableaux of 'Father Come
Home were good, and fully apprecia-
ted. Miss Anderson sang with a natural
tone which gave great effect to the piece
and won for her many praises.
Among the really beautiful pieces was
the tableaux of ''1Iay Queen It was
well gotten up and pleased all, especial
ly the original sclg composed for the &C.
casion.
Miss Carrie Mensch as the "Spanish
Maniac," was almost perfection. Rerren-
dition of the character was easy, graceful
and strikingly natural We heard many
say that she ia: surpassed some
Of the stars in the theatre troupes
that have played here, and we
think they are not far from right. 4
shoute of applause at the conclusion eE-
pressed the appreciation of the audience.
| The last piece, ''The Frinch Gentle
man, or Pat Ia fiahony' was laughable
in the extreme. ''Pat" and ''Iilda Jane
Powers" fairly brought down the
house"
| The music by Welnschenk' band was
excellent, and nicely flied up the time
between the pieces. After the children
and oder persons had gone home the
band offered their services to those who
were inclined to dance, an offer which
was accepted, and the fantastic toe was
tripped until II o'clock.
| We have not space to notice all the
pieces and characters. Suffice it to say
the popular opinion was that it was an
entire success.

APPLETON. The Crescent Gays: The
city of Appleton having bya decisive
majority endorsed the project Of build
ing Railroad via Appleton and New
London to the initial point of the North
Pacific Road, and thereby repu6iated
and appropriately branded the home
traitors and slanderers whose mouths
have reeked with slime, talsehood and
calumny for weeks past, their acknowl-
edged leader. the Ex-Rererend Reeder
Smith, on Wednesday morning, present
ed his compliment o the city authori-
ties, in the shape ol an injunction from
Judge Sprague, to prevent their issuing
any bonds or building any railroads.
The people have handsomely endorsed
the City Railroad Committee and their
workers for progress aud improvement
and as signally branded their assailants.
Now let the leader of the latter crowd
who is evidently predisposcd to lunacy.

he lands where he ought to have been

by some of our leading citizens to have
two large 500 pound alarm bells put in

on each side of the river. Such pre-

when resolution to that effect is sub

will agree in procuring the bells The
Court House has been mentioned as a
good place to hang one.

TIE CONCERT. On last Thursday
evening tho elite of our Society met a
Turner Uaii to witcess the last concert o.
the season Of the Frier Sengorbund,
and it proved the best ever given in our
city, not only in the selection Of pieces
performed but also in the execution o.
the same.
The Overture from Tancred was better
played than ever before. The chorus
for male voices Beautiful Rhine" could
not have been surpassed in execution by
the Milwaukee "Manner Choir" The
Prelude for violin, from Bach, and the
Fantasia for the same instrument from
Mollenhauer, two quite difficult pieces,
were executed with purity, precision
and ease not to be ezcelled by any per-
former in thiscountry, by Mr. Martin
Elcischer OF Two Rivers.
The Solo for Soprano by Dorm was well
sung by Miss. Leverenz as was also the
Prayer" from the ''Freischutz" by
Miss Laura Kemper who, we predict,
will make splendid singer, as she in.
.creases in practice and experience.
The Trio for two Sopranos and Altl
was splendidly executed by Mrs. Biel-
ing, Miss Lueps' and Mrs Whitman,
which is the more to be appreciated as il
is quite difficult piece for any singer tc
perform.
The Trio and chorus from the ''Frei-
schuetz" and the Hunting chorus were
as we'll executed as we ever heard them
Won Weber's and Mendolsohn's compost
tions never grow old and we should really
like to hear these two pieces repeated, as
soon as we may have another suct
CONCERT. The whole of this was an honor
to the excellent leader, Prof. Bieling, and
& certain evidence that Manitowoc con
tains musical talents not easily surpassed
in any city of ike size in this country
May der Freir Sangerbund' ever
flourish, increasing in usefulness and eff
cieEcy from year to year aud thus evel
prove one Of the brightest among tht
many attractions Of our beautiful Mani
