THE celebration by the Sons of Her.
mann and invited guests, of this city, at
Gerpheida's Park, last Sunday, drew out
a vast concourse Of our German citizens,
who seemed to enjoy the occasion huge
". Early in the afternoon Mr.. Chas.
Esslinger delivered an address, princi-
pallv to the Sons of Hermann, but which
was listened to with great interest by all
present, as his addresses always are.
Mr.. Esslinger handled his subject well,
and gave general satisfaction to his
numerous hearers. Later in the day there
was some excellent singing by the ladies
and gentlemen present, and in the even
ing a dance was INDUCED in. The
grounds were beautifully illuminated
at night, presenting a .u,adsome view
from the city. All was orderly and de-
corous, as usual, and the hundreds of
participants in the exercises and enjoy
ments of the day had no occasion to re-
greet being present. The Lodge of Sons
of Hermann is one of the strongest in the
city, and numbers among its members
many of our leading citizens. They are
to be congratulated upon the success of
their celebration.
The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1875-08-19

TIE opinion being prevalent that our
article in last weeks paper, referring to
Mr.. Jos. St8ehle and another south side
gentlemen, was intended to refet upon
those persons, we wish it to be under
stood that the article in question was
not intended to convey the fact that the
gentlem en- mentioned had did anything
unbecoming to them, but on the contrary,
was published as q good joke. They
sought shelter from the rain at the re-
sidence of Mr.. Schultz, as respectable
man as there is in the city. And when
we speak of ladies' in these columns, we
mean just what the word implies.

GRIIM's STATIoN.-The harvest of
wheat in the towns Of Cato, Franklin
and Maple Grove is nearly finished, and
some of the farmers have threshed their
winter wheat, and claim % bushels to
the acre. Mr.. Mike Murphy, of Cato,
threshed $50 bushels o-day and stored
it in Mr.. Ed. Conway's warehouse in
this place. The farmers all wear smil-
ing countenance.
We are to have Cattle Fair on the
24th of this month. The establishment
OF tin shop, boot and shoe shop, tailor
and barber shop, and a large dancing
hail, are in contemplation here.

LAST Friday night some eighteen or
twenty OF the most prominent Demo-
Gratis in the State met in one of the parl-
ors of the Plankinton House, Milwaukee,
with the avowed purpose of devising
means to throw Gov. Taylor overheard
when the "Reform" State Convention
met. The meeting was supposed to be
strictly private, but Sentinel reporter
concealed himself in such manner that
he heard and reported all the converse
ton and speeches, and they appeared
in the Sentinel the following morning
In another place we give extracts from
those speeches. They are rough on the
Governor.
