that city on Saturday last April 20th. Mr..
liver was a native of New York state and
was among the early settlers of this state
coming here comparatively a youth, in
1886. He early secured himself a home

county, where he has a brother at
present residing. AS foreman of the
Wisconsin Enquirer at Madison. IN l84l, of
" hich J. A. Noonan was proprietor, he
first became connected with the press of this
state. He soon after en- tered in to parner-
ship with Mr.. Noonan in the publication of
the Milw aukee Courier. At this time, he
Hon. E. W. Reyes and daughter of Joseph

1847 he established the Rock River Pilot

with the paper in short time and in 1859
became the proprietor of the Madison Pa
Haot with which he remained until 1864.
The following year he commenced the pub :
llcation of the Oshkosh Times and contin-
ued to discharge the duties ofits editor up to

kesla county, and in 1868 he represented
the city of Madison in the Assembly. He
was several years President of the Wisconsin
Editorial Association and was an active
member of many benevolent societies Mr.
| Hyer leaves noble record behind him and
his death causes universal feeling Of sad
ness wherever he was known. The surviv.
ing members of the family are a widow

only thing in the way of the Methodist
Episcopal society of this city from going
right to work to build a new church edi-
fee is their inability to dispose of the prop
erty they at present occupy. Could sale
be made of their old church, arrangements
would be made to build new church at
once One of the most Jealous and enter
prising members is prepared to donate one
thousand dollars Immediately towards a
new church building: and this example
would doubtless be followed by others. We
hope the Society may succeed in disposing
of their property, and SO enable them to en-
ter upon this much desired work.

BUILDING DAMAGED. The gust of
wind last Saturday, which accompanied
the slight shower at that time, badly dam
aged the block of Schwab g. Schulz, Main
street, tearing off the metal covering of the
roof, and blowing over the two chimneys
in the centre of the building. This rather
severe freak of the wind created quite
commotion and excitement in the neigh
borhood from the rumbling noise it occas-
toned, and many were considerably alarm
ed until the true cause was discovered.
Workmen are now busily engaged in re-
pairing the damage which amounts to about
$500.
