Tho Menomonee Herald says: 1.-THE rock

the door and Cedar River and few miles
| north Of Chambers Island, has again been

! lying 1engthwise Of the bay, and at low water
| comes to the surface in many places. Every
year adds one or more to the list Of its victims,
and lying, as it does, in the centre Of the chan
mel, and under water, it is much more dangerous
! than tbs islands and other headlands upon which
lighthouses have been erected. Petitions should
be circulated before the close OF the winter, set
ting forth these facts and asking Congress to
| make suitable appropriation for the construc~
tion Of a lighthouse"
