A CHANGE TO MAKE a FoRT1rnH

A CHANCE TO MAKE FORTUNE
We stated last week that Mr.. S. A. Ben
jamin offered his splendid farm for sale,
situated in the town of Cato, at a very
low figure. We would also say that it
has the advantage of most farms by its
good watering facilities, and large guam
titles of maple growing upon it. This
point-if we are not mistaken-was once
the property of the old railroad company
which they had intended to make their
watering station. MIR. Benjamin offers
this for sale because his extensive bust
ness in Brown County requires his whole
attention. This farm of 100 acres is
situated about one mile below what is
called the Cato Corners and is largely
improved. Anyone wishing to purchase
can gain information by calling at this
office or at the -four store of P. ?. Smith,
in this city. 5-tf

DIED
Jos. RANKIN.
City Clerk.

At Two Rivers, in this County, on the
10th day of May 1871, Mr.. EDWARD
MUELLER at the age of 81 years.
1t becomes our painful duty to record
the death of our dear relative and friend
Mr.. Edward Mueller, at Two Rivers, on
last Tuesday morning, after long and
painful sickness. Our brother was born
August 31st 1907 and was one of the
earliest white settlers in this County /;
having come here in lS47 from Saxony,
Germany, with his family and made his
home in Two Rivers soon after. where
then but few white men were to be seen.
Having made chemistry in connection
with brewing an6 distiilipg his main
study, and having superintendent large
establishments of that kind In Germany,
he soon started brewery at his new
home and has continued the same ever
since. He was man of the most upright
character, beloved by all who ever made
his acquaintance, and his death, although
not unexpected, is serious. irreparable
loss to his deeply stricken wife, children,
and other relatives and to his large circle
of sorrowiDg friends lie will be buried
this afternoon with masonic honors.

'The National Guards, who have been at the canal
break since the riot, returned Rochester lat
ming. The break is repaired, and there is sufficient
water in the channel now to light boats Loaded
ones Will probably be able to move by Saturday or
Sunday"
The above news from the n. Y. TIi-
batne of the 18th inst, is not very encour-
aging for our prospects of an early ar
rival of the Rails and other Iron for our
road. The work on the road bed how
ever, goes bravely on, and the new
bridges and causeways are being erected
in a most substantial manner and will
probably be completed by the time the
rails reach our harbor, so that there will
be no actual delay in the progress Of the
road although the iron ought to have ar
rived here before this.

Mr.. J. C. CAMERON gave us the pleasure of a short
call yesterday. This gentleman came here at the
invitation of enterprisng fellow citizen Jonah
Richards for the purpose of consulting with HIM in
regard the establishing of an Iron furnace in our
City. Mr. Cameron told us that if he had known the
many advantages offered in location of the
best harbors on Lake Michigan with the largest
facilities for shipment all the year round and as
being the undisputed point for transshipment of
the immense freights which will be poured in from
the Northern Pacific Railroad he would have recon-
mended this point in prefer tc al others where
lie has heretofore recommended and generally also
tablished Iron boundaries in the northern parts OF
our State and that, if only sufficient can be
procured to erect such furnace here he would
rant such investments to bring larger interest than
any other legitimate business he is acquainted with
Let our iargehearted rich men ponder on these
things and make up their minds to profit of the op-
portunty offered, to increase not only their own
wealth cut at the time he greatly instrumental
to make City what it ought to be-the Metropolis
of Northern Wisconsin.

MIRAGE.-Those gazing upon the lake
Thursday afternoon, were greeted with q
view of a beautiful mirage to the south
east Vessels that were far out beyond
ordinary vision were plainly seen revers-
ed in the cloud above, while others, near
er, seemed double, vessel upside down
over each, the masts touching. The eff
feet was very pleasing to the eye and
continued for some time.

THE schooner Hannah ETY., while on
the beach near Amsterdam, received
some damage and was obliged to go into
the dry dock at Milwaukee, where she
apparently received all necessary repairs:
but it was discovered that after getting
her into the water. there was one leak
that had not teen found. After arriving
at this port last Friday, she was partly
hauled out on Shipyard Point and the
| leak stopped.

THE NEwHALL HOUSE which we had
occasion to visit last week is continually
improving under the new managers, and
it is really pleasure to make it your
temporary home. The dining saloons
are splendid; the cooking excellent, and
the attention by the indispensable Jake
and his army of nice girls is all that can
be desired. We recommend the New
hall to all our friends as unsurpassed in
every department for the accommodation
of the travelling public.

THE fremen made splendid appear
anee with their apparatus last Monday,
and their trials of the engines were quite
satisfactory. Every thing was In tip top
order, and all from the Chief Engineer
to the youngest member deserve the
highest praise. Is it not time to think
of steam fire engine to be obtained for
our City? We should like to have the
opinion of some of our citizens on this
question.

New buildings are going up all over
town and old ones are being fixed up and
repainted, SO that they look almost as
good as new. Among the neM houses,
that of N. /. Gilbert is probably the
largest, being intended for Store and
Boarding House; that of Mr.. Steiner is
nearly completed. Real estate of all kinds
is rising in value and changing hands
freely, all owing to the bright prospects
of early Railroad connections with the
Northwest aud South.

farmer, came to town with her son.
When they were returning home
towards evening: she saw a drunken man

and said to her son: ''See how DRUM
that man is. She had scarcely spoken
these words, when she fell off the wagon
into the road, dead.

Some people are of the opinion that
there will be no tax on dogs this year
unless the County Board of Supervisors
take action on the matter. After care
fully reading the law, it is plain that I'M
less the Board should meet and set it
aside, the dogs must be assessed and the
tax collected. The law to that effect is
in force until set aside by the Board.

THE performances of Prof Eugene
Dneblin at Turner Hall here have been
quite a success, and. what is best, de-
scrvedly SO, for among she hundreds of
such performers that we have seen, Mr..
Doebiin certainly suspasses them all. His
slight of hand is wonderful and astonish-
ed even the knowing ones in our COM
munity.
We fully recommend him as nagi-
clan and illusionist. and also as perfect
gentleman.
