The Walter family, long and most favor
ably known to our citizens as among the
pleasantest portion of McGregor society,
left us on Wednesday evening for their
old home in Philadelphia. James, the u.
S. Assessor, and his lady, will remain till
Autumn. We part with them regretfully
as do all others who know them.
The Turnverein Ball, uf Monday even>
ing, was the pleasantest entertainment OF
the kind we ever witnessed. There were
not less than 400 persons present, over
200 of whom were ladies, and yet there
was no '.jam'' or disorder. The Pr. du
Chen band did its part well, the dancers
we're happy, the flag decorations of the
hall were in excellent taste, and we think
lE,e absence of cigar smoking and hat
in the hall evinced decided i'm
upon the customs of several
years ago. We commend the Turner's for
their taste, their liberality and their ex-
tension of social joy to all who make their
acquaintance.
Castle Budde, on the Rivers edge, is
becoming handsome show. Charley
will soon mote into it and it will be
christened by few friends with wine nc.
compartments. We are ready!
The NJ. E. Ministerial Association,
which was in meeting here from Tuesday
to Friday was well attended. A large
number of the clergy was present and
Bro. Watkins informs US they had very
agreeable reunion.
H. Kerr, Masonic Block, is in receipt
of the finest European Wines. Settlers
Water and Scotch Ale. His saloon is
as quiet as parlor; billiard tables, with
or without pockets, the best of attention
and prices moderate
w. w. Barnard, choice friend Of
ours, from Florence, Minnesota, was
here last week, and diffused pile Of social
qualification. We will look after him
next week in a very serious manner
wonder if "Bill' keeps trout lines and
hooks up in that wooden region. Only
ten miles from Cresco. Mead says he
will take us out to 'Billuems." That
will do. The contrast will be much to
our beneft-in looks!
The death Of Hon. GEO. B. RICH, of
Akron, Erie Co., N. Y, was announced
by telegraph to his son, FRANK b., of
this city. The old gentleman was pub
lie man of considerable note and as pleas
ant and lively company as We have ever
met. Some three weeks since, he had an
epileptic or appoplectic fit, and fears have
been entertained that recurrence Of these
prostrations would carry him to
.That bourne whence no traveller returns
The deceased was recently member OF
the New York Legislature; his ability re-
Elected credit on the body with which he
was identified, and his social qualities en-
deared him to all who had the happiness
of his acquaintance.
On Tuesday evening, f. b. Rich and
lady, of this city, Geo. l.. Scott and LADY,
of Prairie du Chen, left, per train, to
parent. Mrs Scott is a daughter of the
deceased Knowing all the parties, We
are not obtrusive in the extension Of the
sincerest sympathy in this bereavement.
LocALs.-We have several hurriedly
written notices of important matters, but
the locals do not suit US. There is one
which time will not allow US to handle
this week, and we wait. Another hour in
passing through the immense machine
which We transiently looked over this
morning will give us ability to do it bet
ter Justice than we now can. The gen
tlemanly owners are good -natured and We
are sure they will prefer fair notice to
harum-scarum mess Of language that
would sound as well in describing Reap
er as in an attempted photograph of the
best Mill Machinery that cuts lumber in
the Northwest. Any allusion to FLEM-
MING Baos, Of North M.Gregor, after
this brief explanation might be deemed
out Of order and hence we don't salludc.n
DIED.-At West Salem, La Crosse Co.,
Wis, Saturday, May 18th, 1870, of Con-
sumption, Emor E., Wife Of w. W. Wall,
Hastings, Mimi, and Sister of Mrs. d. d.
Fraser, of McGregor, aged 80 years.
Buy your Fishing Tackle of liayt &
Tice or of Ryan. We have lots of it bat
it Injuries their business if We lend the
machinery and We fear prosecution
Jno. c. Hayt has as fine an assortment Of
Poles, Hooks, Lines, etc. as can be found
in any city west of New York. His cane
poles are the best we ever saw. They are
going, going, and you had best bid early il
you want to enjoy the fishing season Of
1870.
