hfARBLE-The information contained
in the following highly interesting com
n,unication may be unknown to many of
our own citizens. We recommend its
careful perusal as we are fully convinced
that the building material at Brillion will
soon prove of the highest Importance. not
only for home use, but also for extensive
and pro table expectation:
Bullion, Calumet Co. Wis. Nov. II.
To the Editor IF tie Chicago Tribune
SIR: Eaving read an article in the
Tribune of Nov. IL. written by E. S. La
gals. [ take the liberty to inform you of
a better material, and one easier of ac
cess. In Brillion, Calumet County, Wis,
there is a quarry of 200 acres OF round
grain marble. A chemical analysis by
d. r. Averill, Of Newburgh, o., shows
it to be a perfect marble, superior to
Vermont, and equal to the Italian. This
quarry lies in strata from two inches to
ten feet in ahickness, and on rise Of
ground of twenty or thirty feet, easily
drained and quarried Some layers ere
white, some blue and white, but the
most of it is pink and white. 1t takes
| a polish fully equal to Italian marble. 1t
chisels and splits very easily when first
quarried. After exposure to the sun and
air, it becomes harder. 1t is perfectly
| free from flint. The reason why this
marble has not been brought into notice
| before, is, because there was no transpor-
| tstion from here. But this morning
| three-fourths of mile from here, there
appeared locomotive attached to a con-
struction train Of the Appleton q New
London Railroad. 1t is twenty-one miles
from here to Manitowoc, very good
shipping point, and the best natural har.-
Dor on Lake Michigan This marble has
been nsed for from five to ten years for
freplaces and arches for boiling sugar,
and stands fire without crumbling. The
| round grain marble weighs twenty-five
pounds more to the cubic foot than the
common marble. 1t is of fine and close
texture, and consequently admits Of a
higher polish, and is not SO easily stain
ed. This marble lies in strata horizon
tally, and it has been tested to the depth
of eighty feet by common drill. The
average stripping Of earth over the mar
BILE is from six to twelve inches. This
marble can be furnished In Chicago
cheaper than any other building material
Of equal value in the United States. The
owners of this extensive quarry would
enter into arrangements with company
to quarry or sell portion of marble ter
ritory. All letters addressed to s. Nc
Bride, Brillion, Calumet Go. Wis, will
be promptly answered.
Parties wishing to see the quarry. and
test the marble for fre-proof, quality,
| polish, &C., can do so by calling at S. Nc
| Brides residence, and, by-the-by can
come On the cars from Manitowoc. If
| there is committee Of investigation OF
| building material in Chicago, I will: at
their request, bring sufficient quantity
for a test to Chicago. S. MCBRIDE.

The Plot devotes whole column to
answer our few remarks on the double
paying for the printing IN Eng Ash Of the
tax lists. His first assertion is: That
sit is all bosh, that every certificate is
charged with sixty cents, land even school
boys know better Now it seems to US,
| that whoever wrote that article knows
less than even a school boy, for sixty
cents have been charged ever since the
German printing was inaugurated, some
ten years ago, and the charge was legal
as long as one of the lists was printed in
German. Now however the Co. Board
has allowed two bills for one tax-list
printed in English in both Democratic
papers; and We still assert that the
charge Of sixty cents on each certificate
for that printing will make every taxti-
tie on such certificate illegal The
NOrd HeStcB has the same right to pub
fish the tax list in English that the Plot
has,-owing to a beautiful law to that
effect of our State-if he was authorized
to do SO by the County Clerk, and as the
Plot has got his full pay as we'll as the
Nord- Westet, our comfy has to tax the
double amount either to the delinquent
tax payers, or one-half of it to the gener-
al fund and assess it in new tax upon
the people of our county.
The Pilot is perfectly welcome to the
personal slang in that article, it won t be
much to his benefit.

OBITUARY u.

Last Sunday afternoon we followed to
her last resting place one Of the bright
est ornaments Of humanity, a faithful
mother; a mother who counts among
her children one of the best Governors
we have had in our State; and General
and Colonel who have nobly distin-
gnished themselves during the late re-
belllon. Mrs. ID .rothea Salomcn died here
last Friday, of PARALYSIS, aged Is years
IWo years ago sho celebrated her gol-
den wedding with her beloved husband,
who is still lingering on earth, when all
her children and grand children were with
the happy parents. Since then their
youngest daughter living, Mrs Rudolph,
has been the only child who could be
| with .hem, and most faithfully and no
bly, has she fulfilled her Glial duties.
The funeral was very numerously at
tended, although there was no public
notice given, on account of tho low state
of the old gentleman, Mr. Solomon. Mr..
Esslinger made few very appropriate
remarks at the grave, and then was laid
to rest one whose life and conduct might
serve as pattern for all as that Of a
true, loving wife and o most faithful do
| voted mother.
The borrowed children have the most
heartfelt sympathy of their many friends
and Of our whole community.
