our harbor last Friday morning. She
started out on Saturday, but was obliged to
put back, arriving here Sunday morning.
where she remained until last evening.
Editor Of the Pilot:
The above l saw in your good paper Of
Feb lst, which as far as the Z. s. Grant
is concerned, is a mistake. She had on
groceries bought by me of Bliss, Moore {
Co, Chicago, and hay bought for cash Of
S. Hall & Co, Manit0woc, and 10 relief
supplies.
excepting last Tuesday, when it raincd,
and Yesterday it showed and froze in good
sleighing again. We have got on banking
ground, so far, about 1000 cords wood,
$4,000 cedar posts, and 5000 ties, and we
expect 70 doubl. that amount il sleighing
lasts the usual time.
We had an exciting horse race lately, ct
Sturgeon Bay, between Ira Clark horse,
Of hIanitowoc county, and Ramsdeil' 5
horse, Of Sturgeon Bay, for $3.50 stake,
and the Sturgeon Bay fellow took it. |

Dexter beaten Bonner,

From the day that the famous horse
Dexter" became the property of Mr.
Bonner, the name Of the renowned trottcr
has been used to great extent in advcr-
Using the Lcdgcr. But Goldsmith
Maid > has beaten Dexter time, and a new
literary enterprise has .last been started in
Chicago under auspices which indicate
determination on the part of the proiec-
tors and publishers to eclipse Bonner in
the field ofiournaliSm. Waters, Eberts u
Co., 1873 State ST, Chicago, are issuing
" Or Preside Friend" very handsome,
illustrated, eight page, literary and freside
weekly. Instead of cxpending a hundred
thousand dollars in horse-desh, shev Will
distribute that amount among their sub
scribers for 1872, in the way of premiums
Their capital premium is 10000 in Unit
Ell States Currency. 1t is manifest that
the enterprising publishers intend to secure
an immense circulation for their paper, and
it is no less probable that when such in
ducements in the way of premiums-in
connection with readable and frst-claSs
journal--are offered, the enterprise will
prove grand success The premium list
Is large and varied. Specimen copies of
the paper, premium list, etc, sent free to

Jail BIRD.

p. J. Pierre, our efficient under-s sheriff,
sort of slid out into the town of Brillion,
Calument Co., last Monday, and arrested
Carl Blank, whom it will be remembered,
was sent here from Calumet county for safe
keeping, and broke Jail last May in COM
pay with John PITT. When found, Mr.
Blank informed Sheriff Pierce that he
would never allow any man to arrest and
take him back to jail while he had the
breath of life in his body. The sheriff re-
piled, that if such were his determinations
he must Immediately prepare himself to
olhciate as a corpse in a small funeral pro
cession that would movo in that direction
in about thirty minutes, and that he
(Pierce) would drive the hcarsc This
business way Of stating the case convinced
Mr. Carl Blank that he could, perhaps,
make the trip more social without resist
ancc, which he did, and was locked up in
Sheriff Wittenbcrg's hotel about , 0 clock
on Tuesday morning.
