Messrs Cook CoBURN & Co., of Chi
cago, sent US an advertisement 6 inches
long, with mite changes during the year,
to be published twelve months for SIP
Is net. We of course refuse accordance :;
but is 1t not disgrace ~ such Advertis-
ing Agents and an insult to Publishers to
make or receive such offers? We hope
the time will soon come, when such
transactions Will be among the thugs
that have been; when men doing bust
ness will think as little of beating down
their Publishers, as they would expect to
be beaten down by them, for whatever
they may want to dispose of.

FIRE.-Mr. A. Sauber, living north of
the Two River Tannery. lost his barn and
stable by fire during the high wind last
Friday afternoon. His loss is over one
Thousand dollars.
The woods in our vicinity lave also
been injured severely by the same ele-
ment last Friday and Saturday nights
fires could be seen in every direction.
Through the long drouth everything COM
bustible has become as dry as cinders
and it is to be wondered at, that not
more damage has been sustained.
THE fire in the woods along the Lake
Shore has done much more damage than
was 6 t first anticipated AT Two Rivers
it was with the greatest diff Guilty that
the large new Pail Factory Of Messrs
Mann & Co. could be saved. The en-
tire fire department had to be called out
and almost every man and women had to
turn out and work hard to keep the de-
vouring element from destroying the vii
lage.
AT Kewaunee they were not so sue
cessful; as far as we can learn there
were some ten dwellings burned on the
hill near the Catholic church.
At Ahnepee buildings were also con-
sumed and at Claybanks there is hardly
house left. M Horns property is
entirely consumed, even a part of his
pier was severely injured North of Clay
Banks the entire peninsula seemed to be
in flames.
AT the Branch several families had
their household goods already packed up,
the fire being so near. At the Rapids
Mr.. Klingholtz had to fight hard to save
his mill and lost the wood on hundred
acres of land. In Cooperstown several
dwellings and barns and many stacks of
wheat, oats and hay were totally consum-
ed. The loss Of timber, cordwood, houses,
barns, produce and fences is incalculabe
and thousands of cords of hemlock bark
are reduced to ashes
Fourteen dwellings were consumed on
the road between Ahnepee and ,Kewau-
nee.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
From the Appleton Times.

From the Appleton Times
Mr.. Buck is home again, and reports
everything moving. They have finished
the bridge across the Branch and have
the track laid two miles this side of it.
With large force of men. they will have
the grading in Manitowoc County finish
ed the last Of next week. The President
of the road Mr.. Villas and the Chief fin-
gineer Mr.. Soulerin are in Appleton to-
day making arrangements for the right
of way with Mr.. West. As soon as thew
do this they will put a large force upon
this end. The work of track laying will
proceed as fast as ties can be obts ined.
The road grade will be half way by the
end Of next week and the track laid one
quarter of the distance. This is business
and if we have a good fall, we may ex
pect to have Railroad connection with
Manitowoc before the snow flies. A
strong force of men is at work on the
Lake Shore road and the doubters have
that no longer for an argument against
the NJ. A. & n. l.. r. r.

Mr.. TRGMEL informs US that there is
an error in the local laws of this city as
printed in our Office our type settlers
having put in paragraph XIV. instead
of paragraph XVI. in section 6 of the
"Act to regulate the building of bridges
across the Manitowoc river in the City of
Manitowoc.
AS We have not now the original copy
on hand, we cannot tell who made the
mistake, but we know that it ought to
be paragraph XVI in place of XIV, to
make sense to the repeal of the previous
law Of 1870.

The Superintendent of the Dry Dock
is rapidly pushing the work ahead. so
that the Dock may be ready to receive
any vessel that may come here for re-
pairs. The Dredge has been to work all
this week scooping out the mud in front
of the Dock and after depth of about
sixteen feet is reached, the piles that
were driven down to prevent its caving
in, will be pulled out. We have no doubt
but that the Dock will be ready to receive
any vessel or steamer that may require
its service.

A REUNION.

THE most pleasant and interesting re-
union. that has ever taken place in Mani.
towoc and perhaps in Wisconsin. was
enjoyed at the residence of Mr.. Nathan
B. Markham, on the 22nd and 23d inst,
in celebration of the SEVENTEEN birthday
of Mrs. Susan Markham, his honored
and beloved partner through = checkered
married life of over forty-four years, dur
ing which time they have lived, until
their removal to this city last year, in
one homestead in northern N. Y. and
brought up ten as good and noble chill
dren as any parents could ever boast of.
Nine of these children are living and
eight of them those that were married
with there partners) were present on this
happy occasion.
To give description of the enjoyment
is impossible, as none but the members
of the family were present and all agree
that words cannot express the happy
feelings of the participants. but we can
imagine them all full of joy and hilarity,
feeling and acting like children again,
only probably :" little more So" The
following are the names, residences and
occupations of all of the nine children
now living the tenth child, daughter

BOOK NOTICES.

THE ALpINE. Now that the year is
drawing to close, the true value of this
remarkable serial becomes the more APP
parent and when bound with the hand
some Christmas number, which Is prom
ised, will make one of the richest and
most charming volumes it is possible to
possess. Rich as have been all the pre-
cedins issues in illustration, the number
for October fairly eclipses all-both as re-
CARDS quantity ard quality, the subjects
being more varied and more fully de-
scribed than has been usual, which is an
agreeable feature. The literary depart
ment is up to the standard and is filled
with amusing and entertaining articles.
The general get up still exhibits the same
care and maintains the same character it
started with-as being the most perfect
and superb publication issued from any
press. The subscription is but $3.50
per annum and the publishers are james
