Stra Wberries, made Sweeter and mere lus
cious by an abundance of rich sweet mill
and sugar, were partaken of by til,
saucerful. All did their very best to ca
straw berries. But the berries were tot
many for the guests. After all were
through eating we heard it estimated
and by the chaplain among the number
that not more than one-third of the
strawberries were eaten. Where such
berries and in such quantities came from
from we know not The Michigan shore
of Lake Michigan is great for peaches.
Michigan and Illinois are great for straw
berries. The Wisconsin shore of Lake
Michigan beats all for strawberries. Still
we know not where the Peshtigo straw,
berries came from This only do we
know, Topsy like, we guess they "grow-
| ed"
After eating, the President called on
half a dozen or more gentle
men for speeches, but every one had eat
so many strawberries he could not speak.
Still each one managed to say something
and were sometimes somewhat witty. w.
81. Hoard of the Jefferson Union was call
ed on for song He too had eat so many
strawberries that he could neither speak
nor sing But somehow he managed to
act, talk and sing, very comically, a very
comic song, which brought forth, very
!, comicaIly, very comic roar of comic
laughter The speaking, singing and
laughing had very salutary effect
Through their agency all were enabled t.
leave the tables and grove and to visit
the saw mill and pail and tub factory
Here the logs are drawn from the water
up an inclined plain, slab cut off two
opposite sides by acircular saw, placed il
the gangway from one to four at time
and run through with 80 saws if SO many
are necessary, with a speed that is truly
astonishing. The logs soon come gu
wash-tubs, pals, sugar cans, clothes-pin
and other useful articles. We shall no
attempt a description of the mill and
factory. We can say of it only in thu
language of President Seymour, that i
i, the largest and best mill and pail an(
tub factory in the world.
Leaving Peshtigo we returned on th
same open cars to Peshtigo Landing
Here while waiting for the steamer from
Menominee, we were informed by MI
Ellis, the Superindent of the works o
the Peshtigo Company, that, if they hat
known the number would would not hav
exceeded Ito or 1870 they could hav
rugged up conveyances to have taken u
to Menominee by the time we could hav
returned, but expecting 900 or more, anC
as they could not find conveyance 70
that number, they had not prepared t
convey $780, The mill at Peshtigo Land
is the next best to the Peshtigo mill an
factory. Both belong to the same CON
pany-the Peshtigo Company. The Pest
tigo Company owns $4,000 acres of lant
> lying in one body, timbered with pine
. And it has in It's employ over $40 hand
In answer to the question how long til
, timber would last at the rate 1t was bs
: ing used upit was answered about twent
y years. There are no intoxicating liquor
y kept on the premises, and there are n
cigars kept for sale. One of our con
pany near store at the Landing, hal
!, kering for smoke, inquired if ther
! were no. cigars kept for sale there. W
p replied that the Peshtigo people were tel
perance people and did not use cigars. M
t Stevenson said there were no liquors kcI
a on the premises and no cigars kept ft
Q SALE They sometimes gave away fe'
}, cigars and he took one or two from b
n pocket and gave away. Mr.. Ellis is 81
d perintendent of the Pesstigo works. M
o Moore is superintendent of the Peshtig
,, docks. Both these gentlemen and M
e Stevenson accompanied the Conventio
/. to Menominee and Sturgeon Bay. TIL
v knowledge we obtained of Peshtig,
a Peshtigo Landing and their manufacture
is very limited and imperfect, and som
Q of our statements may be incorrect. O
{ our return home we found a letter await
o ing US from Mr.. Ellis, asking, if W
: printed any account of the Editoria
