ABOUT JOB PRINTING.-Our little
neighbor down street is uneasy about the
low price at which we execute job work.
He also seems to think that freight on
materials amounts to very little In the
course of a year. We can account for
this, thusly: That office was never In
the habit Of consuming more than twen-
five dollars worth of jobbing stock in any
one year, which, being ordered in one
lot does not make their freighting ex-
ponses very heavy. We consume more
than that amount weekly. and frequent
ly send two or three orders in that time,
which, if paid for at regular rates aoould
make difference IN our price of work.
What We claim is that we can and DO fiji
orders for job work cheaper than any
other establishment in the City. Here
is a specimen: We viii print cards, on
good material for $I.75 per 1000,
and cheaper still if necessary. How's
that for lotof

To SuEBoYGAN AND RETURN.-We e
embraced an opportunity yesterday to
visit our neighbor up the lake. Leaving
on the Sheboygan we were soon at our
destination after pleasant trip in the
society Of Captain Mcintosh, Charley
Thompson and the other pleasant gentle
men on that steamer.
The pier, at which the Goodrich boats
now stop altogether, is a substantial new
one, but recently completed. Cars of
the S. & T. du L. r. r. run to the end
of it, and it is but a few steps from one
to the other.
We have good hotels in this State,
those here at home being specimen; but
this is none in the country that get
over the Beekmen at Sheboygan. Mr..
Cole, the genial proprietor, with Tom
at the desk, make management OF the
house under which it is pleasant to re-
side, and although there are several ho-
tells in the City, our choice is the Beck,
man, and our advice to travellers who
vans to feel at home while oaoay from
home, is to stop there.
In the afternoon we witnesseda a match
game of base ball between the Fountain
CITY nine Of Fond du Lac and the Red
; Jackets of Sheboygan, in which the lat
ter we're defeated by a score of IA to 26-
OF course we called upon the editors
while there and found them in -four
ishing condition. Ed. Sharpe is getting
ready to again commence the publication
of the Journal for the Fall campaign.
In the evening we attended the Red
Jacket ball, at Turner Hall, where few
hours were pleasantly passed in the com
pany of the ladies and gentlemen the ac-
auantance of whom we made on that
occasion. Next to Manitowoc, Sheboy
gan has some of the handso young
ladies in the State.
We met Mr.. Fred. Cozzens, Of the L
S. Railroad Company, who informed u.
that the prospects were still very favora
bic for the building of our roads before
another August. We believe him, ,wheth
er the majority of our readers do or not
He is in that city in the interests of The

est of all steamers,-the Manito,ooc.

ACCIDENTALLY YSHoT.-OnSunday last
while out with his gun for amusement, q
young man by the name of Wettencaup,
of Manitowoc Rapids, was accidentally
shot throught the wrist. The gun was
loaded with shot. and while his hand
was carelessly over the muzzle, it was
pulled off by little boy who was finger
ing around the lock, and its contents
discharged into the wrist and hand.

shots passing entirely through and COM
ing out upon the upper size. DIR. Brown
was called, who, after removing as much
of the charge as was possible, dressed
the wound and rendered the patient as
comfortable as could be expected under
the circumstances. Amputation may
become necessary, though an effort will
first be made to save the hand, and re-
covery is expected, with probably stiff
io;nt.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING
A drunken Norwegian came near drown
ing at Torrison's dock. about 9 O'Clock
last night He had lain near the lumber
pile on the dock in the afternoon, zap
parantly asleep. Mr.. Joe Harrington,
the engineer of the tug Katy Smoke was
just turning in when he heard heavy
splash in the water alongside of his
craft; running out on the wharf, he saw
a straw hat floating on the water he inn
mediately seized the boat hook and drag
ging it along the bottom of the river,
which soon caught the man, and pulling
him above water and called for help
which soon arrived and the man was
saved from a horrible death.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. TS.-We call the
attention OF our readers to the large,
ell-displayed advertisement of Messrs.
Cooper & Jones, in an9ther column.
These gentlemen have recently establish
ed a lumber yard in our city, which for
size and the quality of stock therein can
not be beat in this part of the country
fact one will endorse after purchasing
ofthem. From their large Mills in Ne
shoto.the lumber is brought to the yard
in this city, where it is now offered for
sale. The proprietors wish it distinctly
understood that they sell lumber at their
Mills by the cargo solely.
A neat advertisement to-day announces
that Will Binkleran is up With the
times See his advertisement and when
you want anything in his line, you may
depend upon getting. it cheap, as Will
goes in on the principle of large sales and
quick returns. He now carries on his
extensive business in one of the neatest
stores in the city.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT. accident
which will probably prove fatal, occurred
at Two Rivers this morning. A Poland
er, whose name we have not learned,
while assisting in moving a mill stone
from the deck of the steamer Manitoacoc
onto the pier at that place was terribly
injured in the following manner The
stone had been moved nearly onto the
pier. when the gang plank slipped and it
rolled off, the unfortunate man falling in
front of it. His abdomen and lower
limbs were crushed in such manner that
no hopes are entertained Of his recovery.
The man resides in this city.

THE RA1LRoAD.-We are glad to be
able to say to-day that arrangements
have been concluded by which the build
ing of the first forty miles of the Green
Bay and Lake Pepin Railway--from
here to New London-will doubtless be
accomplished between now and the first
of January next.
The bids, numbering some ten or twelve
for grading. bridges, &C., between here
and that point, are in, and under consld-
Grafton; but up to the time OF going to
press, the contracts had not been awsrd-
ed
1t is the intention of those having the
matter in hand to push the work forward
with all possible energy; and hope that
within the next two weeks the whole
line between the two points will be alive
with active operations.
The above good news IS from the Green
Bay Aduocate ard if substantiated will
best prove the necessity of the extension
of that road to Manitowoc, when the
time will also have come for our Two
Rivers and Mishicott friends to see their
interest in this important matter.

To The Nervous.

The natural result of exhaustion of strength bv e-
cessve labor action is feeling of weakness dull
ness heayiness, wet.rncss langor of body or mind
etc. Persons of weak constitution. whose habits
sedentary, frequently complain of this relaxed
condition of the vital energies; and when persons of
nervous temperament are thus weakened aud dehil-
tated, disease inevitable follows unless it is at once
checked and overcome. All who suffer from these
causes alike require remedy which will strengthen
the system without exciting it, and awake feeling
OF true enjoyment that life may become q source
of pleasure. MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS has won
its way into the confidence of thousands of this class
OF persons. who warmly endorse the best iuvig-
Grating agent and the most potent and genial of all
