The tight times IN the money market

building business, and our docks which

has not been deferred from prosecuting it's
business with all the vigor an1 force of for

THE month of June is about the pleas
ATTEST one in ths year. Now, reader,
don't turn up the nose of scorn, AS though
you expected a school-boy essay on
spring. We arc only going, incidentally, to
mention that this is so because every thing
is fresh and new, from the leaves on the
trees to the bennets of the ladies. There
is pressure brought to bear nova Gays
upon poor local editors, By which this
most prolific of all themes, spring, is
squeezed out from his list. 1t ought not
to be so. It is so nice to speak of the
opening bud, the fragrant fowers, the
singing bird; to tell how the enchanting
notes of the mellifuous frog fall sweet on
the listening ear; how the ''pensive hog
and sportiye cow, hilarious leap from
bough to bough;" to go OUT and commune
with nature under the lsafy canopy, and
catch the cramps from the pearly drops of
dew that shines 80 brightly. Then the
mind of the average editor persively wan
ders to the scenes of other days, and he
thinks of the time indulgent parents ad-
ministered paternal rebuks for misdeeds
committed on account of springs numerous
temp tations. Ali these things We must
leave alone for fear Of being laughed at.
SO much for the tyranny OF public opinion.

schooner John V. Jones at the Dry Dock
Saturday afternoon was the item of inter-
est for that day. This vessel is the one
that has been built the past winter by
Rand 6 Berger for Cooper & Jones, our

are l26 feet over all, l2l foot keel, q
beam, and IL feet depth of hole il shoal-

supported by tamarack knees for every tieT
of lumber she will stow; she is strengthened
by long keelsons and has both her fore and
main mast resting on the same piece OF
timber. Her model is a perfect beauty and
she is pronounced by those experienced in
vessel property to be the handsomest and
.taunchest craft that ever left the hands of
any Mapitowoc ship builders. Her cabin,
we don't hesitate to say, is the best to be
found ON any lumber schooner on the lakes;
Captain Smiths room is furnished in elegant

"a large black walnut writing desk book
case and bureau combined, and all other

fort of its competent occupant. Mr..
Cooper has spared no pains nor expense in
| fitting the schooner throughout and she
speaks highly for his choice and good
taste. Considerable curiosity was express
ed previous to her launch as to what her
name would be, but that was kept Masonic
( ally secret by "Tom," one Of the interested
ones, who, for the privilege of naming her
/ furnished her with a splendid set of Colors.
He did Justice to bis father in banning her
after him, but that was not divulged until
she was cut loose, when the colors were
uufurled and revealed the 'iJohn ?. Jones
