brotherhood. From fifteen upwards allow

Of Germany q table cover exauisitely

avoid the appearance Of having sent the
present in expectation of getting some-
thing in return, she omitted her adj
dress, and simply signed herself "a

and the manner of sending it., that he
caused the German Minister in Switzer-
land to ascertain the girls name and adj
dress, whereupon he sent her valuable
brooch and an autograph letter Of
thanks.

Our Granite Again. -Messrs. Alb
bott and Woodford gave US further in
formation relative to the granite pros
poets, last week Each day brings
forth something new relative thereto.
Parties from Oshkosh, Fond du Lac,
Milwaukee, Shebovgan and Ripon have
recently been looking over the vast
lodges and in every instance, they have
been pronounced genuine, fully equal
so far as can be ascertained with the
limited examinations made, to the
most costly imported stone. 1t has
been PRETTY clearly demonstrated that
the granite exists in immense layers,
which can be excavated in blocks of
almost any dimension required. Of
course expense attaches to such exca-
walton, but it is proven almost beyond
the possibility Of doubt, that the
wealth is there hidden which will event.
ually make Wood county the wealth
lest county in the state. 1t is conced-
ed by all who have examined the lodges
that the granite will improve in quail
ty as the quarry is worked downward.
The best Scotch granite is now procur-
ed from depth of over two hundred
feet from the surface rock. The same
laws governing its formation in Scot
land must naturally govern the de-
post in all sections, therefore we shall
not be surprised to find stone vastly
superior to anything Scotland has hith-
erto given us, when the requisite ma
chinery shall have been produced for
the effectual working of the quarries
at so great depth. The specimens
already procured compete more than
favorably with the best imported stone.
1t is to be hoped that company may
be very soon organized which will de
velop all that is valuable in this new
mine Of wealth which is attracting the
attention of marble and stone workers
the world over.

ten up by the Good Templars of that
place was success in every particular.
The hall was crowded. The tableaux
and charades were a feature of the
festival long to be remembered. The
Christmas tree was laden with very
many beautiful and expensive presents.
The post-ofice, fishing pond, and that
everlasting grab bag, and cake hiding
a choice ring for either a bride OF a
returning prodigal, proved remunera-
tive. The net proceeds amount to ov-
er 500 The occasion was one Of
profit pecuniarily and otherwise.
