PattOn'S Concise History.

Mr.. j. NJ. Leutbecher is now canvassing
the city for Patton 5 Concise History of the
American People. The work contains
about 1000 pages and is a condensation of
the leading events of American History
since the discovery of the country 1t is
not, however. dry and tedious statement
of facts, dates and names, but an animated
narrative, written in clear and vigorous
style, rendering it at once popular and at
tractive. The following from the Boston
Post gives good idea of the work:
"This book is a marvel of cencseness.
from preface to index, every thing in the
volume speaks of systematic and laborious
conc entraton. The facts Of American his
tory have been subjected: seemingly, to
some rare power of condensation. and, as
here presented are truly a sort of double
extract of history. It is history itself, Al
that is needed is to be found in it, and
nothing superhuous has been admitted
That which meets the readers eye is the
sam of the whole matter"

A Sell.

Last week we published an item to the
effect that gold quartz could be knocked
off of any tree on Capt. James Rogan's
land. The whole thing has turned out
to be huge sell, but whether Intentional
or not we are unable to say. The quartz
produced were genuine-the sell is not
there-but the sequel shows it to be none
of Mr.. Rogan's fruit. Instead of that it
came from California, and is and has been
for a number of years the property of
Mrs. Nichols, who lives on the same
block with Rogan. The way in which
the quartz came on Mr.. Rogan's land is
this: Some days since Mrs. Nichols
threw this piece of quartz rock at a COW
which she had some trouble in getting
out of her yard, and it found a resting
place on her neighbours land. The COW
was so troublesome to get out that Mrs.
Nichols forgot all about the valuable rock
until the excitement of the gold discov-
erv reached her. She then concluded
that it was the piece of quartz that had
been on her window for years Rogan had
found, and came down to Salick's level
ry store and found such to be the fact.
She brought with her the piece from
which it had been separated. Rogan's
land can now be bought for something
less than $1,000 per acre, gold and all.

Dodge County Items.

The NARROW GAUGE R. R.-The report,
regarding he work on this road from Iron
Ridge, by way of Mayville to Fond du
Lac, appear rather conflicting. While
some Earties report it progressing ga tisfac-
torly, other represent that no real work is
being done and only few hands employed.
These parties even assert that this show of
work is made, in order to have the Chicago
& Northwestern Raj lroad Company buy out
the line: so as 10 control the business from
Fond du Lac to Milwaukee.
COUNTY CoURr.--The regular term of the
Dodge county court, Hon. E. Elwell pre-
siding. commenced yesterday at this place.
Some 26 cases are noted for trial, but it is
not at all likely that all Will be tried.
FOURTH OF JULv.-The Cornet Band of
this village has been engaged to play at
Watertown on Independence day. This
will probably prevent any celebration of
that day at Juneau and it is probable most
of the people will visit WATERFOWL and take
part in the celebration there. Beaver Dam
has made great preparations for celebra-
ting, and we understand that there is also
some talk of celebrating a: Lowell, where
Hon. John Lowth has been engaged to de-
liver the Grafton.
DIED.-Mr. John Lewis young ma a,
son of TIE late John c. Lev IS, died at the
residence of his mother in this place on
Monday morning. He has been suffering
for a long time from pulmonary disease.

A neigh Dor of Mccoy accidentally met the
thief, in the night, driving the COW, and in
formed the owner. At the examination
before justice in Watertown, May 29tb,
the thief was bound over to the next term

Germ an Military Band.

Mr.. G. G. Eckstien, of New York, agent
OF the German Military Band, recently
from Berlin. was in the city on Tuesday
and arranged for grand concert by this
noted band of musicians, to take place at
Turner Hall, Saturday evening next, June
10th. This concert will b. on scale oil
magnlficence never before attempted in this
city. The band is compospd of forty mu-
sicians OF the highest order of talent to be
found IL Europe, who have won the plau.
dts OF the crowned heads and the admira-
ton Of the musical critics The German
Military Band completes for the grand mu-
steal prize at the Centennial Exposition, an
honor meted out to but few musical orga nj
cations. Its friends are saneuine that it
Will be triumphant in the contest. Moth
ing but like exhibition to the Centennial
Will, perhaps, bring to our shores another
such band and therefore it should need no
urging to have all embrace the opportunity
presented OF listening to this finely trained
and perfect band of mu sicians. We hone
our appreciation of the highest order of
musical talent will be shown by Turner

The German Band has fairly conquered

first to stimulate attention. Ia stature

embraced music of every school-the rapid
lty OF Suppe, the gorgeous coloring of
Mey erbeer, the brilliancy of Rossin. the
hight inspirting strains of Strauss, the
poesy of Schubert, the dramatic instincts of
Wagner. and a humorous pot.pourri from
ochreiner. The musicians, drilled as they
have been under the rules of the stern dis
clplne of the Prussian regime, seemed al
most equally capable OF tering into every
element of these different and widely d.
vergent aspects, of tone thought. And
more even than this. The da capo, the en-
core was imperatlvely demanded four times,
and IN response to each the spirit stirring
strains of national must crang again through
the hall.
The French horns again proved their
abundant quality. Their rich, nearly sill.
very, sound sweled and swelled, in long
cadence rolling, until the prolonged notes,
with linked sweetness long drawn out"
enchaned the people with that desire and
longing for the future, mingled with the
buraing energy in the present tone song,
whatever Wagner may assert, can alone
convey.

There is no pathological fact more clear.
~ ascertained than that the most formid.
able phases of nervous disease are directly
traceaoIe to imperfect digestion. Insomnia,
with its train of dlrefnl consequences, pro-
ceeds more frequently from weakness of tne
stomach than from any other cause. Mere
sedatves are powerless to cure nervousness,
ana soon cease TO palliate its symptoms.
The true way to strengthen the nervous
system is to- invigorate the digestive and
ass m'iatlve organs, upon whose unobstruc-
ted action its equilibrium is absolutely de-
pendent. The daily use of Hos,etter's
Stomach Bitters will do more to brace and
soothe the weakened and irrita,ed nerves.
and induce sound, refreshing sleep-nature's
grand catholicon than all the so called
nervines to be found in the pharmacornia
or out of it. A winegassful of the Bitters
should be taken before each meal.

Fire Steamers!
The City has Purchased
both SiIsby and
AhrenS.

The great question agitating the COM
munity for the past few weeks has at
length been settled, the Board of Street
Commissioners, after a needless and un-
necessary delay, having decided to pur
chase the two steam fire engines. the
Silsby and Ahrens. Whether this will
prove an amicable and satisfactory ac-
Justment of the matter remains to -be
SEEM as the conclusion arrived at directly
interests the taxpayers. Our idea from
the first has been that one steamer is all
we could afford under our present circum-
stances, and would no doubt prove all
sufficient for our wants for some time to
come. In the purchase of steamer the
expense does not end, but considerable
other outlay is required before an engine
can be used effectively. Perhaps to get
out of an ugly snarl and difficulty, the
Board did the best they could, but it seems
all wrong to unnecessarily burden the
taxpayers, and in doing this let the re-
sponsibility rest where it belongs. The
fact is apparent that from the first this
whole steam fire engine business has been
mismanaged, and the way the matter has
finally been adjusted, may yet prove the
worst part of the blunder. We most
earnestly desire. and it is certainly to be
hoped, that all animosities and hard feel
ing engendered by this affair, will be
buried out of sight and heard of no more.
The friends of both steamers should now
be satisfied. The admirers of the Silsby
have certainly reason to feel proud of the
record that has been attested to in her
favor by every member of the committee,
and no guaranty need be required that
she will always perform her duty with
effect. And as regards the Ahrens ma
chine we trust she may prove all that her
friends claim for her, and that it may be
shown when she is called into service
that her failures on the trials with the
Silsby were temporary embarrassments,
rather than permanent inability to per-
form what was required of her.

Steam Fire Engines.

Watertown has had steam Fl re engine on
the brain for the past ten days to such an
extent that the organ has SD own strong
symptoms of softening. Nothing else has
been talked or thought OF during the day
and the denizens uf this burgh dream of
nothing bat piston and rotary engines in
their slumbers. The vexed bond question.
the troublesome Union League, and the
misery sbondholders are all enjoying
season Of rest, and WATERFOWL has straddled
another hobby in the shape of FIRE steamers.
Should the excitement continue while
longer we viii all know more about engines
than the men who built them, if we do not
already Two weeks ago few of us COM
paratively speaking, ever saw fire steam
er work, but now a boy is considered
Ounce if he does not know each and every
one Of the merits or dement's of the. two
engines CHARTERED here. Rotary engines,
piston engines, valves, valve seats, ETC., are
no longer technical terms to us, but are as
familiar ss A, b, G. In fact, Wstertown
has done nothing the past ten days but
dissect fire steamers, and some of its citi-
zens have surprised every one with the
amount of knowledge they have acquired
in regard to fire steamers in so short q
time. Of course the circumstances have
been very favorable for acquiring knowl-
edge on this subject there being SO many
teachers who seem so willing to impart it.
and it is probably within the range of hu-
man foresight to name the exact date when
such and such a steamer will become use
less to the city through wear and tear, as
some ofo wIsest have done. A commit
tee composed of men who were supposed to
know something of machinery was selected
to decide which steamer to purchase, but
we all see the folly of being governed by
their decision, since each and every one of
us know more about the machines than the
committee, none of whom have worked
around steam engines longer thar since they
were boys.
