To MILwAUKEE-Last Saturday af

ternoon We made flying trip to the mer-
camille emporium of our State, in the
steamer .She6oygon. being kindly wei
coined by Capt. Mcintosh. who seems to
be constantly on the watch" and han
dies his large and powerful craft with an
ease and precision wonderful to behold.
That model Clerk Mr.. Chas. Thompson,
was also on hand with friendly greet
ing, rendering the inequalities of the
boa: in the finely appointed rooms and
excellently furnished table, which, in
their scrupulous neatness. strictest clean
Illness and faultless appointments. are a
high recommendation to the efficient
steward, Mr. John Linsey.
We had fine weather all the way. the
boat cid not stop anywhere-being pre-
vented by the ice-until we reached the
ice blockade off Milwaukee harbor. ex.
tending about three miles, which the
noble steamer passed through after an
hours hard labor. and several hair bredth
escapes from i'm mInent danger, by the
careful management of the Captain, his
highly efficient officers. Messrs. Crossen
and Clark, and the faithful engineers,
Messrs. Roth and Smith.
Being called up early in the morning,
as the boat was to go to Chicago, we
went with Mr.. Brad. Smith, o. Two
Rivers, to the Kirby House, where We
enjoyed a good breakfast. the tables
being lastly appointed and the well pre-
pared viands very efficiently served 10y
Capt. Jake and his attentive female bri-
gade.
Our next call was at the deservediy re-
nowned establishment of Mr.. Goetz,a tie
Newhall, where we had our appearanC e
materially improved by one of his artistic
assistants in the exercise of tonsorial
science and experience. Thence we went
to hear Rev. Mr.. Dudley, at the Congre-
gational Church. who delivered beauti-
full sermon on the text, Fight the good
Fight, etc., and who. at the close, invi-
ted all present to nartake in the COM
memoration of the Lords Supper-the
the first truly christian Invitation of that
kind we ever met with In our life.
The dinner with Mr.. Goetz and his
interesting family, and the afternoon
coffee at the beautiful new home of his
son-in-law and his Interesting bride were
heartily enjoyed. Pleasant remem brances
led US thence to the residence of our old
friend and former Deighbor, Mr.. Cham
berlin, who with his wife and accomplish
ed daughters would hardly have any
thing more to wish for here below, were
it not for his failing health, which pre-
vents him from enjoying the active life
which he has followed from his early
youth. The evening found US again at
the church to hear the promised dis
course on House Cleaning" and which
was delivered in the happy style, we have
never enjoyed except from Mr.. Dudley
The church was well filed, but ought TO
be crowded each time it is opened for
divine service the singing by the choir
was beautiful and the organ accompani-
ment perfect We felt the expression
" tearing yourself away" verified On that
evening for the first time.
The next day we attended to business,

the Sheboygan made her appearance,
but found plenty leisure time in waiting
for her, and looking over the immense

with the genial Superinten-
dent, our old friend. Greg, Hurson, we
ascertained that the G. T. Co. are doing
almost double the amount of business
they ever did before. and that the profits
are increasing accordingly.
We left Milwaukee late in the even
