New Issue OF Bonds

Monday June I'd, the Milwaukee and St
Paul Railway Company issued new bonds
under the following notification to its stock
holders:
"The opening of new road between
Milwaukee and Chicago, and the extension
OF other lines of the company having de-
Yeloped large additional traffic, have made
it necessary for the. company to procure
an additional amount of equipments, and
to lay steel rails on the main lines also 10
procure additional depot grounds and i'm
prove the same. To provide the nece ssary
funds therefor, and also for the building of
a bridge across the Mississippi River at La
Crosse, the Board of directors have resolved
to issue $2,500,O00 of bonds, to be styled
equipment and construction bonds which
are to be first lien on the bridge and

Jubilee Excursion.

A rare opportunity is afforded our citizens
for an excursion to Chicago at half-fare, to
see how marvelously the city hes risen from
It's ashes, and attend the Gilmore ubilee,
which occurs on Thursday, June tn. Two
magnificent concerts, afternoon and evening,
in an audience room (the great depot),
which will accommodate 40, 900 people.
Recognizing the Importance of the event,
and responding to a movement of the citi-
zens OF Chicago, the Chicago & Northwest
ern Railroad Company have placed their
fare, including a ticket to concert, at S.
IS, lower rate than has been offered for
years. The opportunity for multitude of
our people to 60 down for short festivity to
Chicago is one that they will avail them
selves of. Tickets will be for sale on June
4th, by Jno. G. George, Agent, and will be
good for a return until June 9Th, in
elusive, afording ample time to see the
wonders of Chicago, and share in the Jubi-
lee programme. We learn that numerous
excursion parties are already forming in
this vicinity, attracted by the great blue
posters of the Jubilee committee

past. Mr.. Clark comes back considerably

of the Bay State House, got rowing turn
into his head, and concluded to try his luck
on the ''briny Deep" that is as briny as our
fresh water lakes would afford, and shipped
as "a sailor boy on a schooner at Escanaba.
But a voyage from the nce to Cleveland, and
Chicago, satisfied George that he had not
struck his gait so far as associations were
concerned, and he is now content to remain
on terra yfrma for while, at least.

During the Thunder storm of Monday
afternoon last, son of Thomas P. Sullivan.
of the town of Shields, Dodge County, aged
about IS years, was instantly killed by
lightning. The boy had taken shelter un-
der large tree in field when the light
ming struck the top of it, chipping the bark
off in several places, and when near the
ground the descending bolt branched off and
struck the boy, causing immediate death.
With the exception of a small scar on one
cheek no marks were discovered on the
body. This is sad bereavement to the
strongest sympathy from their neighbors
and friends.

The Crops.

A ride last week through the towns of
Watertown, * onia and Concord, gives us
an opportunity ofspeaking from observation
regarding the crops. Wheat is splendid
color, and for this time of the year never
looked more promising. That sown the
la test seems to be doing better than the
early sown. Oats have got a good start, and
barley promises WE'LL Grasses have grown
with great rapidity during the past few
weeks, and an excellent crop of hay will
doubtless be gathered this season. Corn
planting has been late hereabouts, but, with
favorable weather from this time on there
is no reason to expect anything short of an
average yield.
Rye was considerable killed out the past
winter, but that remaining looks healthy
and vigorous. Winter wheat has been al
mo st totally destroyed in this section, and
the ground it occupied has been sowa to
other crops. Vegetables of all kinds are
growing nicely, and so far as can bejudged
by present indications good yield of fruit
is in store for us. On the whole, nothwith-
stand ing the season is back ward, it prom
Uses about as favorable to agriculturalsts as
any preceding one.

The Neglected Dead.

1t is burning shame to our city to al
low the cemetery on Richards Hill to re-
main in such state of neglect and ruin as
it now presents. The fence is broken down
and cattle are allowed to roam over the
graves unmolested, trampling down the
shrubbery, and doing all kinds of damage.
But worse than this, We have heard it stated
that boys are in the habit of using the
monuments and tombstones for marks to
fire at. Some Of them certainly bear tie
evidence of having been used for this amuse-
ment. We hope something will bs
done to protect this resting place of the
dead from further molestation. To allow it
to remain as it is would be an everlasting
disgrace to our citizens.

w isconsin Dairymen's Association.

A year ago the Wisconsin Dairymen's
Association decided to hold one regular
market day, in WATERFOWL, in each alter
nate week. The enterprise began with
somewhat discouraging prospects, but took
on more favorable color towards the close
of the season. In the face of discourage
ment the members of the Association ad-
hered to the determination to put their pro-
ducts into the commo n markets and stand
for strictly cash prices. The result of the
experiment has warranted them in contnu-
ing the plan this year. and next Wednes day
is fixed for their first market day, to be
on.inued at intervals of two weeks
through the summer. We have only to
wish that Wisconsin dairy men may soon
see the time when the quotation of their
products as Western Cheese" will not op
crate agai nst them to the extent of one to
three cents a pound. Milwaukee .Senti-

A Dakotah Sunrise.
w

We copy the following from the Union
County Courier, published at Elk Point
Dakotah, which will doubtless be read with
pleasure by many of our citizens
cat the instigation of Hon. and Mrs
Alex. Hughes, small party, ourselves in
cluded, found their way out to the residence.
of Geo. Smith, Esq, who lives about FIVE
miles west of town, and gave Mr.. and Mrs
Smith pleasant surprise: The party, most
of whom were unsteady inclined, enjoyed
themselves splendidly. Mrs. Alex. Hughes,
Miss Lulu Waldron, G. o. Vaughn, and
John HAPPIER, entertained the company with
excellent music from the piano, guitar, ban
10, violin, &c. We found Mr.. Smiths fam
lily one of the most pleasant and agreeable
we have ever met, and their hospitality
made every one feel glad that they were
there. Mr.. S. has only been resident of
our county about year. but through his
energy and progressive spirit his farm has
the appearance of one of ten years old he
has fine house elegantly furnished and
every comfort and modern improvement is
at hand. His farm is 800 acres in extent
with about $50 under cultivation all of
which he has sowed in small grain this
spring With the contemplated additions
Mr.. Smiths farm is destined to be the best
in the territory"

Agricultural Implements.
Lowell, Nay 9th, 1873.

If heavy stock of goods is any
evidence of the rade an establishment is
dong then set it down as an absolute
certainty that Mr.. S. E. Randall, is doing
an extensive business in farming imple-
ments at his store on The West side. The
sidewalk in front of his establishment is
daily INSTRUCTED with scythes, pitchforks,
hoes, rakes &C., coming and going, and the
general impression is that an immense
number of these articles are changing from
his hands into the hands of others. Mr..
Randall is State Agent for several popular
farming implements, and the supplies of
those implements for other dealers in the
state, have to pass through his hands. This
in part explains the cause for the crowded
condition of his establishment these days.
