THE RACES.
"Bucksklns Wins the second Purse.

The horse fair, on the afternoon Of
the 4th. attracted,considerable attention,
and was the place of assemblage for
nearly all the fast (forse) men in the
county.
The first race, running, was won by
MIR. A. ID. Kittel's mare, one-half mile
heats, best two in three, in IS and 10,
for purse Of ten dollars Fred Schr9-
der's horse took the second purse, FIVE
dollars.
In the second. the trotting race, there
were two horses entered. Buclish;in, the
properly of Mr.. Geo. Barker, and a
horse from Shcboygan, owned by Mr..
Within. This was one mile heats,
Buchshia winning the two first in $40
and 3:12, coming home about GO feet
ahead, taking the first purse Of twenty
FIVE dollars.
The third race, sweepstakes, for purse
Oh my uUlIdlS. W lS hoii Wy III '1"''O" -
Kohnhe who made the two first mile
heats in 2:52 and 2:55, against Ira
Clark S Jonathan, winning easily.
Considerable interest was manifested
in the race between Buchsh;in and the
Sheboygan horse, many fearing the latter
would take away some Manitowoc money.
1t was unnecessary though, for the She
boygan horse had one fault: he coutdn t
trot fast enough to ''wa1" our Buck
skin"
The receipts at the gate were not as
large as we expected they would be, but
they more than covered expenses, and
will leave balance to put the track in
better condition than it is at present.
It seemed to be settled fact that KoIln-
lie would win. He is one OF the fastest
trotters in the State, and if there are any
who doubt the statement, they just want
to bring on their mule"

WEAVEIs. Mr. Wm. Danforth, of
Meeme, byought to this city number
of heads of grain in which were nu-
merous wheat destroying insects called
"Weavels. 1t appears from observa-
tions made that while the wheat is in
blossom a yellowish dy deposits its larvae
in the top of the stalk, from which spring
insects about one sixteenth of an inch
long, of a red color, which destroys the
kernel. Until last year but few lad ever
been seen in this part Of the country, but
they seem to be on the increase, and are
very destructive, although an insect never
destroys but one kernal.

SUICIDE,
A young Woman takes Dose OF
Arsenic.

1t is astonishing what common occur
renee a case of suicide is nowadays. But
a few weeks since we were called upon to
chronicle the demise of man near Ne
shoto, who shot himself, and now comes
the intelligence of the sudden death, by
her own hand, of young woman named
Esther Griffin, residingsin the town Of
Cato in this county. We are indebted 10
Mr.. Q. S. Davis, before whom the Coro-
ners inquest was held for the copy of the
verdict:
"The undersigned being applied to for
an inquest upon the body Of Esther Grif
fin, issued summons for jury to appear
forthwith at the house of Henry Griffin,
at Cato, county of Manitowoc. Called
Doctors Brown and Tucker as physicians
to hold post mortem examination, and
by testimony given. the Jury returned a
verdict that the said Esther Griffin canle
to her death from the effects of arsenic,
taken by her own hand while IN very
peculiar and melancholy state of mind.
The examination clearly established the
chastity Of her life''
O. S. DAVIS, j. P.
No cause can be attributed why ehe de-
ceased took the sudden and fatal step,
and as she left no word in writing, it will
remain mystery never to be solved.
She was about 80 years of age, was re-
siding with her uncle, Henry Griffin, at
the time, and from what we can learn was
always well treated by him.
Her parents formerly lived in this
county, but moved south early this spring.

-From personal observation, and what
we have heard from the farmers, we are
prepared to state that the wheat las also

shortly after grain was sown would have
improved it considerably: but still the

We would not be surprised were the
city sued for damaged to the tune of a
thousand or two dollars by some one
breaking a limb or two while endeavoring
to get along on the dilapidated sidewalks

whole planks are taken out. Although
not desirable occurrence, it would per-
haps get the proper authorities to have
that and numerous other similar walks re-
paired and that speedily.

How it was Celebrated in Manitowoo

! The Fourth dawned on the city most
beautifully. The air was cool, and it being
rather cloudy. the rays of the san did not
cause such melting" heat as was expe-
rienced for few days previously.

Between the several orations and read
ings, some excellent music was listened
to from the two bands.
After Mr.. Esslinger's speech, the pro-
cessi0n reformed and marched to Turner
Hall, where it disbanded, it teing noon.
The orators Of the day delivered their
severalroles in most satisfactory manner,
and were intently listened to by the i'm
mense throng which congregated in the
Park, or as many Of them as could crowd
near enough to the speakers stand to get
within hearing distance.
In the afternoon every one went in for
enjoyment on his own hook Ger
pheide's garden seemed the attraction for
many, where pleasant afternoon was
passed by those who wen: there.
A dance in the evening, at Turner
Hall, wound up the day and we under
stand was enjoyed by all in attendance.
The Germans were the principal movers
in getting ~ the Celebration, the Ameri-
cans standiag back and waiting for the
Dutch to make a start. They made
it, aud showed their love OF country by
getting up good, old fashioned, Cele
bration. There were some Of our leading
Americans in the procession, but yet the

THEArER. R.-The famed Bildle's Dra-
matte Troupe opened in two Rivers on
the 9th inst. We are informed by Mr.,
D. \. X. Andrus, the Agent for the
Company, by note from there, that they
will open for q short season III this city
some time this week or next Monday
evening. So n?w our citizens will have
what they have long been wishing .or : a
chance to attend qo2H theater in Mani
tovoc. We say good, for having heard
so much of this troupe through the
State press, we are convinced they will
not disappoint our citizens in their an
ticipations. The Green Bay Adgocate,
speaking Of them says:
"They always play up to the pro-
gramme. The manager plays with the
troupe, and studies rs hard as those he
employees. -
The agent, Mr.. Andrus, is gentle
manly, attentive, thorough, and prompt
in paying all bills to the letter Of the
agreement.
'.There are 30 loafers among the ac-
tors, their appearance off the boards sup
porting the favorable impressions con
veyed by their excellent playing: and
the ladies are ladies of as well as on the
stage
The company do not after night or
two get indoient and produce a trivial
piece as rest pjeW. They have scenery
ana good line of stage dress ard other
property which enables them to do jus
tice and give proper effect to the pro-
grammc.
We expect our citizens will give them
a crowded house every night during their
stay here, for we have heard many COM
plain Of the dearth Of Dramatic enter
tainments in our city, and the hope ex-
pressed that a good troupe would open
an engagement among US.
Mr.. Andrus has engaged rooms fol
the eatire company at the Windiate
House, and Turner Hall will be the
scene of some good acting ere long.
