From the Daily Commonwealth.

At Appleton, Mrs. Van Colt preach
ed from the text, How shall we repent
if we neglect so great salvation 2" A
worthy minister from neighboring city
remarked as he left the church, THAT is
powerful preaching. -
There were many went forward to pray
and be prayed for.
About fifty were received on proba-
ton into the Methodist Church on last
Sabbath, the fruits Of the present re-
Vrval
IF there is any place in Wisconsin that
needs so called revival, it is Manitowoc ;
and we sincerely hope that our ministers
and churches and people will take the ne
cessary steps to secure the assistance Of
the highly gifted preacher, Mrs. Van
Colt for that purpose. There has been
no especial effort made for years; our
American churches have beeu increased
in size, bat not in numbers. Let there
be change for the better if possible.

Our Western Railroad had the track
laid to within on mile of the county line
last Saturday, being a distance of oyer
twenty miles from the depot in this city.
Several miles arc already fully baliasted,
and as soon as two new locomotives and
cars arrive, the gravel trains will be run
over the line, and regular trains betw cen
here and Spring Greek will be soon after
established. The construction trains will
reach Brillon this week. The grading
is advancing rapidly in the towns of
Brillion and WoodvilIe, and from Apple
ton this way several miles are also ready
for the ties and rails.

THE two new first class passenger loci

The two new first class passenger loco
motives for our Western road, named
the Jacob Lueps" and Richmond ;"
the first in honor of our own fellow citi-
zen, who has sacrificed energy and wealth
for our Western road, ever since it was
undertaken; the other in honor of the
present Mayor of Appleton, the staunch
supporter and faithful friend of the same
enterprise, have reached Sheboygan, and
the first named will be put onto scow
and towed here as coon as wind and
weather will permit. while the second is
to remain for the present on the Lake
Shore road, to be employed on the con-
struction train, until the new locomotive
for that road is completed and delivered.

Tue Board of Canvassers adjourned
this afternoon, after having refused to
act upon any and all evidence offered in
regard to the vote of the town of Cato.
Such swindling won't win, and there will
soon be summary proceedings instituted
to try the question before proper tribu-
nal, whether the majority of the people
shall have the right to elect their officers
without having theirdeeision set aside by
a swindling board of canvassers- 10 the

Our HARBoR WoRK.-M. Dewar,
Contractor for the Government work on
this harbor, has finished his work all up
for the season, and we can point to the
work with pride. There is not two as
fine, substantial piers on Lake Michigan
we don't except any-as are the two
at this harbor. Manistee, Frank fort,
Pentwater, Muskegon, Milwaukee, and
host of other places have been build
ing harbors, and have had the same
weather to contend with, but look at
their awkwark, ill-shaped piers. Lud-
ington to-day has the two best piers on
the lake, and the Government, we are
glad to see, is ready to give Mr.. Dewar,
the builder of these two piers, work at
any he is willing to accept it.-Mason

IT is said that if puff of air were to
be blown into vein of an animal, death
would instantaneously follow, because
circulation would be stopped. The blood
makes the entire circuit of the human
body every seven minutes, and whenever
this circulation is iD peded or any of its
channels are clogged by impurities which
ought to be carried off, disease follows
fever or disorder of liver or kidneys, or
scrofula, or dyspepsia. To get at and re-
move the source of the difficulty, use the
old and infallible blood purifier. DR..

THE ladies of the Episcopal Church
are 10 have grand FESTIVAL at the
Windiate House, on next Thursday, No
vember Esd. They will prepare refresh
ments, delight their friends with excel
lent music, and offer them the pleasure
of social dance and good time gen.
orally. And now with all these attrac-
tions we only wonder who will NOT be
there. Our Episcopal ladies have been
very quiet for some time but now appear
to come out again in all their strength
of purpose and ability. They will be
encouraged heartily and materially to
their entire satisfactions.

LAST Sunday evening the barn with
all it's contents and the stable with two
horses were consumed, on the so called
Poor farm now owned by Mr.. Miles
McMahon. We have not learned the
amount Of the loss yet, nor how far it is
covered by insurance, but at all events it
must be severe as Mr.. NJ. has but lately
purchased the farm and there is quite an
amount yet to be paid on it. The fire
was plainly seen here by several of our
citizens.

F1RE.-The ruins of the burned build

FIRE.-The ruins of the burned build
ings were still smoking, when on Thurs
day afternoon our citizens were again
alarmed to witness and aid in the quench-
ing of the burning building of Mr., N. l
Gilbert, on the corner of Main and Buff
falo streets The fire appeared to have
started in the roof near the chimney
The fremen, not yet rested from their
previous exertion, and with their appar-
atus partially, still at the last scene of
their successful efforts could not appear
as promptly and efficiently as in the
morning of the same day, and were by
several other causes hindered to prevent
the almost total consumption of the
dwelling. or to, avoid the partial destruc-
ton of the barn of Mr.. Gilbert, although
they were successful in saving all the
adjoining buildings, with the very mate
rial aid of hundreds Of our citizens, and
.he bucket company forming long rows,
passing buckets to and from the endan-
cred buildings. The cause of the fire is
inexplicahle, the loss to Mr.. Gilbert is
fatal, be being without insurance, and
cannot be less than three thousand dol
lars. Still, owing to the material aid of
our noble hearted citizens, and the furth-
er promise of many of his friends of
further assistance In material and labor,
MIR. Gilbert has already undertaken to
commence the erection of another build
ing, which he hopes to be able to occupy
before New Years. We sincerely wish
he may accomplish his object, as there
is hardly more deserving man in our
community. and we bespssk for him all
the material aid which he is still to hope
for, and without which it will be utterly
impossible for him to succeed.
And right here We want to mention,
that there are others in Our county
were completely impoverished by the
late fires in the woods. who are entitled
to aid from our benevolent societies, as
much as any other sufferers outside of
Manitowoc county, and who have been
abundantly provided for. There is one
that we heard of, a Mr.. Schmidt, who
had not a mouthful Of bread or bed or
a stove or any clothing for himself or
family left after the fire, and who was
paid the paltry sum of five dollars to
help himself with a man by the name
of Kose'ka residing IN the town Of Mish-
icott, in IKE destitute circumstances, did
not get any thing, while thousands of
dollars were sent north from Manitowoc
to help others, and where, as we have
stated before, one Belgian losing but few
fencerails received supplies amounting
to some four hundred dollars.
Our ladies have done most nobly in
working for the destitute, our citizens
have contributed with great liberality to
alleviate the sufferings Of the berieved,
and we believe, it is only necessary to be
known here, to see the wrong done to
our own inhabitants retrieved in a man
neT as honorable to ourselves as it will be
satisfactory to our destitute fellow citi-
zens.

A CARRIAGE and wagon factory is very
much needed in our city, and it is won.
der to US that some of our capitalists
have not long since invested some of
their friends in such an enterprise. We
have skillful mechanics and any quantity
of the best material on hand, and ship
much of our lumber to other markets In
stead of working it up ourselves. We
hope soon to hear Of the establishment
of such factory, for it is certainly no
honor to us to send off the raw or par
TALLY manufactured material and pay
the profits on the manufactured articles
to foreign capitalists.
