Cutters and Sloighs.

Watertown Is making rapid progress in
the manufacture of cutters and sleighs as
may be seen by visiting the establishment
of Messrs. Bolles and Prochazku, First
street. This firm has turned out some
splendid specimens of single and double
cutters, striped, vanished and decorated af-
ter the most approved style by Mr.. c. A..
Johnson, and trimmed in the height of FASH
ion by Mr.. H. S. Cox.
E. h G. Jones have also some fine
sleighing vehicles in the shape Of cutters
and seighs made of the best material and
gotten up in the most "knobby" manner at
their shop on First street. AS a striper
and fnsher Eugene is hard to beat AS may
be inferred from looking at the work he
touches over with his brush.

Madison journal,

The approaching session of the Wiscon
sin Legislature is now near at hand, aud
there are but few who can afford to be with
out the daily news of the doings at the
Capitol. For many years past the Wiscon-
sin State Journal has been faithful chroni-
cler of the events of each session. Its re-
ports of the daily business of The coming
Legislature will be full and complete as
heretofore, commencing itself to all who
would keep thoroughly posted on legislative
action this winter. The legislature which
convenes next month will be as import
ant as any ever held in the State, and
matters of grave moment to tie people of
Wisconsin, will come up before it, The
Journal will give all the interesting pro-
ceedings of the Senate aud Assembly to its
readers each day. Not alone for the legis-
lative news is the Journal valuable, but for
its general reading and reliable editorials.
To all in want of frst-class newspaper in
all respects, we can heartily recommend
the Madison State Journal, and hope to
hear of its increased circulation in our
midst.

RAILROAD CHANcE.-A recent change in
the manner OF running freight trains on tie
G. b N. w. R. E. will work very great il :
convenience to residents Of this vicinity and
undoubtedly to those of other localities
along the line of the road. According 10
the change the freight trains leaving this
Sta ton for the south at about $50 in the
morning and $50 in the evening will no
longer be allowed to carry passengers.
Consequently passengers for Wasertown
from this place will be restricted 10 the ex-
press going south at noon and returning ut
4P.H. 1t is remains to be seen how long
this inconvenience will remain in effect.
PosrpoNED.-Owing to the bad state OF
tho weather the dance fox the benefit Of the
Juneau Brass Band which was to have ta-
ken place on Christmas eve, was postponed
until Friday evening next, New Years eve,
when an excellent time is expected.

festival of the Episcopal church at this
place was decided success and pleased
both young and old. The hall was beauti-

solemn and impressive and attracted a
larg e con gregation.

Chri stmas day dawned upon us in all the
pristine glory of spring and continued de-
lighttul and pleasant throughout The day
was quite generally observed, nearly all the
places Of business being closed. II was ev-
ident that there is growing tendency in our
m idst 20 pay some degree of respect to this
great festival Of the Church. At st. Pauls
Episcopal Church the customary services
were held and joyous carols sang by the
choir boys, led by the precentor, Mr.. John
j Moulding. Miss Amanda Brook was the
org enist on the occasion.
