Run AwAY.-Monday afternoon about
five o'clock, as Henry Clusen was driving
his team attached to a wagon loaded with
lumber, across the bridge. the team took
fright by board slipping off, and began
to run. They ran onto the sidewalk in
front of Smalley Bros Agricultural
Ware House, scattering their blows and
other farming utensils, following the side
walk along in front of the Lake House,
running between the door and the sup
ports of the portico. tearing out some of
the posts; they continued their course
up Ninth street, scattering the lumber
along as they went. until they were stop
ped near the residence of Mr.. Villas. Mr..
Clusen kept his place and hold of the
lines until the team was STONED when
he fell off and was severely cut on the
side of his head and considerably bruised
about his body.
DIR. Brown tied up his head and Mr..
Clusen was able to drive home. Neither
the horses nor wagon have sustained
any material injury.

Death.

We have always heard that our present
life is one continued repetition of suffering
and sorrow that this life is only prison
house In which we are to pass few short
years as blot upon the scroll and then
leave these dark and dreary walls to go
into the great uncertainty which hangs
as thick clouds over the misty future,
which as yet, ''no cloud has turned its
silver linen," to show what is beyond.
Essay after essay has been written to
show us the dark spots on our existence
until we have been made to shudder and
grow sick at heart and exclaim all is van.
ity.
But if life is SO gloomy, why is it we
fear to have the time come when we shall
burst the shackles which bind US to earth
ly things? If this life is one continued
web of woe, why do we turn pale when
the last thread is woven In and we 90 to
meet our God?
There is something so startling in death !;
it requires no considerable degree Of for
titude to contemplate it freely. Mankind
are perfectly willing to believe all others
mortal but themselves; bat when they
think that they must die; when they are
compelled to listen to the deep and mon
itorial voice which proclaims to them
''dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou
return they think back with horror.
We know not the future beyond the
tomb all is silence. Hope endeavors to
penetrate it, we try to believe but still
all is dark and fearful uncertainty. We
know that at death there is the pang, the
fearful pang that separates US from life
and It's thousand endearmcnts. Our
dearest joys may have hoen crushed, our
fondest hopes blighted in the bud; pov-
erty disease and misery may hover around
US, yet we live and still wish to live
The glorious sun, the green earth and the
blue sky have charms for US which we are
unwilling to exchange for the APPALLING
silence Of the grave. If there is a spot
Oh earth where we are likely to form
correst estimate Of time and its limits, of
the fate We are all fastening to- it is the
burial ground.
There we become familiar with the
thought Of dying and the quiet stiffness
invites contemplation. When the last
CLEANS of light are fading from the heay
ems and every object is covered with
splendor. when the evening breeze whis
pers through the branches of the weeping
willow and makes the fragrance of the
rose which afectionate hands have plant
ed, then memory calls up the fondest
recollections of many who sleep their
dreamless sleep beneath the green turf.

No young woman ever looks so sensible
to a sensible man as when dressed in
plain, neat, modest attire, with but little
ornaments about her. She looks then as
possessed of worth in herself,a and no artif-
cial rigging to enhance her value. IF a
young woman would spend as much time
in improving her mind, training her
temper, cherishing kindness, mercy and
other good qualities, as most do in extra
ornaments to increase their personal
charms, she would at least be recognized
among thousand-her character would
be read in her countenance.

Rivers and Green Bay for aiding the
same enterprise of such vast Importance
to ourselves. the building of the NJ. NJ.
& G. 3. r. r. within the present year
His remarks were short and to the point,
and could not fail to convince his hearers
Mr.. Woodin being loudly ca led for,
answered by saying that he wished more
particularly to speak to the laboring men
of our city that our heaviest taxpayers
were willing, and had pledged themselves
to assume the additional tax we would
incur by voting to grant the aid required.
aud that if they were so willing, those
that had but little taxes to pay in any
event, could well afford to aid them in SO
doing, and that the great benefits to be
derived from the early completion of our
Railroad connections. would be first and
most largely felt by the laboring class of
our community, the best evidence OF
which was their already much improved
condition in employment and prosperity.
Perry P. Smith being then called on,
strongly admonished his hearers to vote
for the Railroad aid, and cited as an ex-
ample of what would otherwise become
of us, the present condition of the once
fourishing town of Milan, in Ohio,
that had been as fourishing as our own
city. but refusing to aid in building a
Railroad through it, was left without any,
and now the large elevators we're. rotting
to the ground, rats were the largest num-
Der of its inhabitants, and the once pop
ulated streets were left desolate and over.
grown with grass that under our present
prospects everything was tending upward,
houses and rooms were all occupied and
none to be had; but let US fail to grant
the Railroad aid, and the sign ''to let"
will appear on every other house and
store in Manitowoc and to sell property
will be entirely impossible, as the taxes
would inevitably eat it up in few years.
Mr.. Whitman followed Mr. Smith, but
was too excited to express himself plain
ly and acceptably, although strongly in
favor of voting for the Railroad aid.
President Villas being loudly called for
said that he had nothing new to offer,
that the object of the meeting had been
fairly and ably discussed, and that he
could only add that the election on next
Friday would decide the future of our
| city; that without the aid asked for, we
could have no Lake Shore Railroad, and
that The destiny-the prosperity or ruin
of Manitowoc was now left to its own
citizens TO determine.
After three hardy cheers for President
Villas and the Railroads, the meeting
adjourned.

GERMAN II. Il. MEETING,

A very large concourse Of our German
citizens met last Saturday evening, accor-
ding to call.
The meeting organized by appointing
Geo. Pankratz President and A. M.
Richter Secretary.
Mr.. Esslinger being called upon, spoke
very plainly and pointedly in favor of
granting the aid of $4,000, called for by
the Lake Shore Road, as from that vote
would depend either the rapid growth or
the almost as rapid decline of our city
that every Railroad Company in Wiscon-
sin were opposing our enterprises to the
utmost of their ability, and that almost
any of them would be glad to pay the
$4,000, if thereby the connection with
our city could possibly be prevented;
that without the Lake Shore Road, the
farmers of this county would not come
here any more to sell their produce, as
they would have better chances on the
Railroads West and South of our city,
and thus our merchants would loose their
customers, our mechanics their employ
ment and our laborers their work. That
the interest on the sum asked for would
increase our present taxes only one dol
lar in twelve, while the Railroad finished
to this place would double the value Of
property and more than double the num-
Der Of inhabitants and business capital,
thus very materially lessening, instead Of
increasing the ratio of taxation to our
citizens. Mr.. Esslinger spoke in high
terms of the unequalled efficiency and
reliability of the President, Jos. Villas,
and recommended hardy support Of the
same by laboring and voting for the Rail-
road as required by the eastern capitalists
of our Railroad Companies. Mr. Ess-
linger was loudly and heartily cheered at
the close of his able speech.
Mr.. G. H. Schmidt was then called for
and spoke at great length, also expressing
his being entirely in favor of voting for
the Railroad aid and called upon all to
support our Lake Shore Railroad Co., by
strong and unanimous vote for the
Railroad aid
Mr.. c. ". White being called upon,
made some very strong and appropriate
points ia favor of voting the aid required,
after which, owing to the lateness of the
hour, the meeting adjourned.
Many Germans, with ourselves, would
have been glad to hear Mr. Luling, but
were disappointed for the same reason.
The feeling of the Germans present
was almost unanimous in favor of grant
ing the aid required. and we are we'll
satished that the result of the election
Will be strong expression of the willing
ness of our citizens to aid the Lake Shore
Railroad Co., to the utmost Of their
ability,

PERSONALS.-Mr. Seth Sumner, from
Brillion gave US very pleasant call last
Tuesday. He reports the prospects of
the crops quite favorable, although some
insect have injured the wheat lately. I'm
provements are going on rapidly, owing to
the new Railroads, and also the pro-
prietors of the Marble quarry there have
discovered new place where the finest
variegated marble bed reaches the sur
face. This is certainly good news for all
concerned in tie rapid Improvement Of
our county and State.
Mr.. Isaac Woods, the special Agent of
the Chicago Life Insurance Company,
was in town last week and his call at our
Office was one Of the most interesting to
us, We have enjoyed in good while
We seriously doubt, that that excellent
Insurance Company could have found a
more efficient, gentlemanly, thorough
| going Agent, than they have in Mr..
Wood nor do we know of a safer, more
economically or impartially administered
Life Insurance Company than the Chi
cago to apply to, if we wish to provide
| for "the dear ones We leave behind us. !"
SAM RYAN, Jr. and j. S. Buck, from
Appleton, gave US friendly call last Fri
day. Another friend from there does
| not wish his calls mentioned every time
MIR. Louis E. Marshall gave US quite a
surprise this morning by entering our
Office as naturally as ever.
Hon. George Reed arrived here last
Monday evening by the Western Road.
We are glad to learn, that he and his
family intend to become permanent res
idents here again, and that his opposition
to our Western Road enterprise has been
entirely relinquished.
