Three young men arrived at Sturgeon
Bay last Saturday night all the way from
Philadelphia, Pa, having come nearly
the entire distance on foot. They left
that city with only about three dollars
each in money, with which by dint of
hard work and strict economy they man
aged TO pull through all right. The
hard times caused them to leave the city
and try their fortunes in this section.
They found employment in one of the
numbering camps.

The following is list of the names of

A REVOLUTION IN BUSINESS
readers will see from our advertising
columns that Vilas& Barnes have chang
ed their mode of doing business.
In place of giving long credits, as
heretofore, they sell only for cash, and
mark the prices of their goods down,
leaving but small margin Of profit
They report the new system working
well, as all who have cash to spare take
advantage of the cash prices they offer.
Let our readers go and convince them
selves that the cash system is the truet
and most economical way to do bus
mess.

Our attention has been called to the
fact that the millers Of this city acre
represented at the State convention Of
mill-owners in Milwaukee, last week,
in the persons of Hon. John Schuette
and J. Fliegler, and from them we learn
several facts of interest to many of our
readers The association was organized
for mutual protection and is in -four
ishing condition and doing effective
work for the milling interest generally.
The important business of the session
was to take action upon the propriety
of paying royalty to one G. F. Smith,
who claims to have patent on machinery
that was in use in England and France
long before he came into existence.
From the action taken it is highly prob
able Smith will have an interesting time
collecting the royalty claimed. The
Association has taken hold of the pend
ing suits against individual firms and
propose to fight the matter to the bitter
end. With that object of view, q levy
of S. for each run of stone owned by
the members was voted. Among other
important questions acted upon was the
organization of a millers' insurance COM
pany. The Commute appointed to study
up the matter is Messrs. J. Schuette, of
Manitowoo !; Arndt, of De Pere, and
Wiley, of Appleton. The next meeting
of the Association will be held the first
Wednesday in January next.

NJ P. Lindsey, P. G. M.-Grand Instructor.
The Wisconsin, of Tuesday says a
suit for $4,000 has been commenced in
the United States Court against the
Goodrich transportation Company
The suit is brought by the Government
upon the ground that forty-fve liquor
kegs, consigned to John Black, the
stamps of which had not been effaced.
were transported By the Company. It
is expected that the testimony viii de-
velope the proof that the kegs were so
dirty when they passed through the
hands OF the Company, that it would
have been impossible to discover wheth-
er the stamps had been cancelled or not.
THE following special dispatch from
this city appeared in Milwaukee paper
last Thursday:
'Mueh interest is manifested as to
the whereabouts of w. FL. Hutchinson,
of the firm Of a. n. Harris & Co.. pro-
duce dealers. He left here ten DAYS ago.
with about so, 900 and left for parts un-
known. 1t is possible that he has been
foully dealt with. though it is not prob
able, as his course just before leaving
indicates otherwise.
It appears that Mr.. Hutchinson left
Cato on the 28th ult, having in his
charge two car loads of stock and two of
wheat The wheat he sold in AIilwau-
kee and the stock was disposed of in
Chicago, realizing for the whole some
$1,000 or $1,000. Up to this writing
nothing has been heard of him, and the
affair has the appearance of swindle.

trains have been running daily between
this city and Milwaukee instead of two
as heretofore. and two daily trains from
the west instead of one. This change
will be welcomed by our citizens mas
much as it offers increased facilities for

There are various receipts for keeping
bouquets fresh. Some people stick them

rule is, to cool the flowers thoroughly at
night. When the long day of furnace.
heat has made the roses droop, and their
stems limp and lifeles, clip them a
little, and set them to float in a marble
basin full Of very cold water. In the
morning they come out made over into

Just gathered. All flowers, however, will
not stand this water.cure. HeliotrOpo
