THE engineers are at work running
the line of the Appleton & New LON
don hallway to and through the city.
And the towns north of New London
are proffering liberal aid to have the work
continue without stopping to Wausau.
The above we quote from our faithful,
undomitable ally the Appleton Crescent
and such informations are the best evil
dence of the splendid progress of our
Western enterprise. While the Milwau-
kee & Northern Railroad Co.. is doing
nothing, except asking for aid, and is
defeated in almost every election for that
purpose, in the many towns it proposes
to happily; in spite of the most hattering
promises, brides and other unlawful
means-while the so-called Land Grant
Co., has already pawned all the city and
town bonds it could obtain, for few
hundred tons of rails and is already un-
able to pay its laborers, the Appleton and
New London Railway Company is quiet
ly but most energetically pushing ahead
with everything necessary already on the
ground, and without having touched a
dollar Of its bonds yet, or ever needing
to do so, until the work is completed ac-
cording to contract; and we can safely
predict that oar road will reach the
Northern Pacific sooner than the Milwau-
kee & Northern will reach Appleton, or
the Land Grant Road Stevens Point BY
next spring we shall have regular line
of steamers to Ludington, Michigan, and
thus connect by the Southern Michigan
Road with the East, while our Lake
Shore Road will in few weeks be pro
crossing rapidly TO its completion

HISTORY OF THE WARM EUROPE

The recent war between Germany and
France aroused so much interest on the
part Of our people, that it was general
ly supposed at the time. that the earliest
and best history of that great struggle,
would be from the pen of an American
author. The National Publishing Co. !,
OF Chicago. Ill, has just issued very
complete and valuable history, bearing
the above title. It is from the pen of
Mr.. James D. McCabe, Jr., and is a
handsomely bound volume of 500 octave
pages, illustrated with $50 maps, por-
traits, battle scenes, views Of prominent
localities, etc. 1t is written in bold,
vigorous style, and will, unquestionably
take rank as the standard history Of the
struggle by an American writer.
Mr.. Mccabe, has evidently studied his
subject deeply, for he writes as an his
toTian, and not politician, as one who
places facts on record for the verdict of
future ages, and not as one who seeks to
win the favor of either the Germans or
the French of to-day. The great charm
of the work is its impartiality, its abso-
lutte fidelity to truth. His book fasci-
mates while it instructs, for it tells in graph
ic and eloquent language, the most won
oerful story of modern times. He traces
the causes of the war from their origin
down to the beginning Of hotilities; sets
forth the diplomatic history of the pre-
Jude to the war, with clearness and
states forcibly, and Ia detail the causes
Of the triumph of Germany and the fail
ure of France. The narrative of the great
battles which opened the campaign, and
hurled the French back upon the inter-
Tor OF their own country; the effect of
these reverses upon the French Nation;
the frantic efforts to rescue the beaten
army, and the terrible disaster of Sedan;
the capture of the Emperor Napoleon
and an entire army the Revolut ton in
Paris; the rise and formation of the
republic; the fight Of the Empress from
L oiio tAO oICS- iuu SulISHUSt VI OlIdo-
burg and the frontier tortresses of
France the triumphal advance of tie
German armies to Paris; the sieges of
Metz and Paris in detail full diary of
events in Paris during the Siege; the
campaigns on the Loire and in other
parts of France the peace negotiations
the surrender of Paris and the treaty
the naval history Of the war; the history
of the formation of the great German
Empire the proclaiming Of King Viii
liam Emperor, and the realization of
German unity the civil war and second
siege of Paris, with its terrible scenes of
bloodshed and vandalism all these and
other events of the war are related with
graphicness and brilliancy which rem
der this a work of unusual value. The
author goes deep into the philosophy of
the war, and impresses his readers pro-
toundly with the great lessons of the
conflict.
The low price at which the book is
issued, brings it within the reach of all,
and no one wishing to keep abreast of
the times should fail to read it. 1t is
published in both English and German,
sold by subscription only, and agents are
wanted in every county.

MISHICOTT, July 10th, 1871,

ED. TRIBUNE Many of our friends
have commenced their haying but owing
to the unfavorable weather not much
progress has yet been made. The hay
crop in this vicinity is about an average
crop and if we could have good weather
for curing it, the quality would be fine.
There is much excitement in this town
Just now, over the ravages of an animal
supposed to be lynx, whose depreda-
lions on our sheep focks have been fear
full. 1t was at first supposed to be the
work of dogs, and few unfortunate
cannes were put to death for being found
at late hour away from home, on sus-
picion of being concerned in the slaugh-
ter OF innocent sheep. But the discov-
cry of the animal referred to, has reveal
ed the real murderer of our hocks. and
relieved the dogs from further persecu-
ton IN the matter. The havoc made by
the animal, whatever it may be, has been
considerably owing to the fact Of its only
30 PNH eiAC dlJSIlGS Vi tue throat
and sucking the blood therefrom but not
even tasting the flesh. In some nights
ten or twelve sheep have been DESTROYED,
though generally not more than four or
i've out of the same flock, on the same
evening. 1t also shows taste for young
pigs, not merely bleeding these animals
but carrying them off to serve as the
more substantial part of its diet.
Its history is also becoming quite ro-
mantle, from the many thrilling adven-
lures and hair breadth escapes it has
already passed through. Being entirely
nocturnal 10 its nature, it is quite diff
cult TO shoot or capture it, and on ac-
count OF It's power, agility and ferceness
no dog appears able to cope with this
destroyer of our focks.
At the present writing we are eniopinc
fine rain to lay the dust that might
otherwise be raised by the numerous
horses and cattle going to and from the
Cattle Fair now being held at this village
and which exhibits the interest our peo-
pie take IN it by the good attendance
with full supply of stock in spite of the
ram and busy season.

CARO-, july 9Th 1871

ED. TRIBUNE Though we made no
effort to signahse the Fourth by anything
externally imposing, yet the day was not
suffered to pass away without something
by way of commemoration. It was re-
solved by the Ladies who are the bene-
factors of the world, to prepare dinner
for the purpose of entertaining their
friends, and Strengthening general good
feeling. In due time the dinner was
prepared, and large company of ladies
and gentlemen sat down to two sumpt-
ously furnished tables in the house of
Mr.. Isaac Harris. The tables groaned
beneath the weight of goad things; the
utmost harmony prevailed, and every
thing passed eff with unalloyed satisfac-
lion. P.

Vote for the Railway Proposition
From the Appleton Crescent.

From the Appleton Crescent.
The decision of the Court being that
the previous election was informal, the
requisite notice not having been given,
the Common Council have called another
election to be held on Saturday, July 10Th,
to determine the question Of aiding in
the construction OF the "Appleton &;
New London Railway" from Manitowoc
to and through this city, toward Wolf
river.
We ask every voter to read the propo-
sition and ordinance.
Let no man deceive himself or be de-
ceived. Without this aid, there is no
hope that the Road will come here at all,
much less be built hence northwestward-
ly TO Lake Superior.
The arrangements are fully perfected
for building the Lake Shore Railroa d
from Milwaukee to Manitowoc and Two
Rivers, Sheboygan county having voted
Its aid thereto, and shipments of iron for
! that roa9 will commence in about two
weeks. So that We shall, by favorable
vote on this proposition, secure railway
connection with three important Lake
Michigan ports, viz Manitowoc, She
boys an and Milwaukee.
Aside from any consideration of the
question whetherit would not irreparably
damage the credit of Appleton to repu-
date the contract heretofore made in
good faith by this city with the apple
ton q New London Railway Company, "
for the construction Of this road, we sub
nit that it is most important to our in
terests to secure any and all possible rail-
way facilities if we desire our city to be-
come what nature designed it to be-the
greatest Manufacturing City in the whole
North West.

The Railroad company have built
quite. an extensive engine house although
bat for temporary use. The Locomotive
and Cars are on the track, aud the form
er will be in splendid working order n a
few days. The Bridge across Rand S
rayine is almost finished, and then track
laying will be continued without inter
ruptlon to the Branch ravine, where the
whole of the necessary material is already
on the ground for the long Bridge, the
completion of which will be fastened
as much as possible. Beyond the Branch
the grading is progressing rapidly and
with ali the help that can be obtained.
which is quite limited now by the pressing
work in the harvest fields.
We are indebted to the Chief Engin-

that the Appleton and New London
Railway Company is pressing forwards
towards Appleton as rapidly as the
present scarcity of men will ever permit.

The Farmers meeting has been adj

stock necessary to obtain the land and
a charter for establishing one of the best
Agricultural Societies in Wisconsin.

He is still confined to his home, but re-

INCIDENTS and ACCIDENTS,

The immense storm, emanating from
the windbags of our contemporaries of the
city, caused great damage, both pecuni-
arily and moral. A fierce blast caught a
little black and tan terrier belonging to
a neIghbor, carried it across the river,
back again, rested it for moment on
the chimney of the Kitty Smoke and
finally left it in Washington Park hop
ping about on three legs.
A little girl with an automatic doll,
had her nose (the dolls) damned against
her fathers big toe and tore big rent in
her 1.-THE girls) Sunday frock such howl
ing was never heard since Noah kept
Kris out of the ark.
The roof broke off the head of a bottle
of pop and split the milk in the gutter.
Another freak of the wind was the
bringing of double team loaded with
Il. r. iron, right in the winds eye from
Grand Haven, most remarkable to relate
however, the rails laid and spiked them
selves on the road where they belonged
for distance of 337 miles in the direc
ton of Duluth.
Several subscribers to the TRIBUNE
came of their own accord and paid UP
old scores.
So many strange things happened
that night, that it is almost impossible to
select items for publication.
One more however we must record.
The bark Reliance, loaded with 10000
tons Of gold dust and 1927 diamonds
each as large as hens egg, and of in
calulable value, was capsized, with every
soul on board, 700 men, on Mount
Blanc, and sunk, a total wreck, in 3
inches of water. Insurance Is cents,
payable 60 days after proof of loss, in the

place on Sunday last over in the Third
