Arrangem ents have been made With the Good
rich lin of Steamers, so that the Green Bay line
viii stop twice week, in the daytime going
north but at what hour is not yet decided; and
the Milwaukee line will stop every evening,
goir south, at about eleven o'clock. Spiles are
to be driven along the south government pier,
to keep the steamers from pounding against it in
stormy weather. This arrangement will enable
the dealers in small fruits and vegetables, &C.,
to ship every day by the night boat. The advan-
tages of this will be important 10 the business
interests of the city, If the opportunt, is mprov-
ed and the enterprise supported. Small fruits,
vegetables, butter, veals, poultry, and in fact
nearly all kinds Of produce or freight can be
skipped by this line. and be at the dock In Chi
cago at about six o'clock In The morning; which
is Just about the time when the dealers and COM
mission men are looking sharp after ARTICLES in
their several lines. Those articles which are
injured by heat or jarring, will be transported in
the cool of the night, and without the damaging
effect of the shaking complained of when carried
by rail. comparatively small sum of money

FRONT GATES.

The season is now approaching when pater
familias who has young lady in the house,
will be reminded of the duties and dangers
of his front gate especially if the family
keeps good looking hired girl. The. owner
of front gate will be anxious to learn of
some plan by which his gate may be relieved
of the terrible strain to which it is liable to
be subjected during the coming summer /;
and a few suggestions at this time will help
him in this distressing dilemma. One Of the
saving helps of the front gate in the summer
time, is a smooth. clean, large horse-block.
This will be sufficient if there happens to be
but one young lady in the family, but if
there should be young lady and hired
girl, it would be worse than nothing. In
the latter case, stile or set of steps over
the fence will obViate the danger of having
the gate broken from its hinges. Under
these circumstances, the horse-block and
stile would answer finely the hired girl
&c., would use the horseback, and the
young lady of the house, &C., could occupy
the stile-as this would be more stylish!

SCANDAL.

There are many stories going the gossip
ing rounds of the city, of q ecanGalous char
acter affecting the domestic peace OF several
families which should be taken with great
maay grains of allowance. Rumors of such
character always multiply, and increase in
magnitude and virulence the farther they
90 and the oftener they are repeated; and
people will do well to bear this in mind
when forming or expr essing opinions. 1t is
best to reserve the verdict till the evidence
is all in, and let the decision be based on
proven ia cts and not upon unsupported ru-
mors.

stop them, but this portion of the lake shore be-

THE STORM.

Last Monday morning winter sat plump
down into the lap of spring, and everything
like spring was completely hidden by the
mantle of winter. Last Saturday evening
the weather was rather threatening. there
being slight falling of rain, with wind
from the n. E. Sunday morning opened
with rain and sleet from the east, which
continued with occasional intermissions all
day, and until about midnight, accompanied
by thunder and lightning when the wind
suddenly changed to the west followed by
snow which fell to the depth Of about four
inches. During Sunday the trees became
encased in lee, and this in connection with
the load of snow which followed, caused ma
ny of the boughs to give way. The 5oughs
of large number of shade trees and the
trees in the parks were thus compelled to
yield to their weight of glory and fall to the
ground. Considerable damage was done to
fruit trees in the same manner, throughout
tie county. The snow continued TO fail at
intervals during Monday. The sky became
clear during Monday night, and Tuesday
the prospect presented to the view
was one of exquisite beauty-a picture
which the limner's ant cannot mitate-a
scene that must be looked upon to be appre-
ciated. The trees were clad in a silver
sheen, and from every twig there hung a
pearl or diamond, swaylng and d. cling
in the sunlight, and presenting a picture
which was indescribably sublime.
Spring opened with a snow storm from the
east Wednesday morning. Though March comes
in like lion, it may out like lamb.

THE MILWAUKEE NEWS AND CHICAGO TIMES


The communications Which appeared in
the Milwaukee "News" of the Oath, and the
Chicago Sunday Times" of the 9th, pre-
tending to describe the opening of the Grant
House, show the writer to be not only un-
generous and unmanly, but cowardly. These
mise rable travesttes Of one of the pleasant
est and most popular occasions that Keno
sha has known for several years past, and in
which not only the proprietors and landlords
of the hotel, but the clergy and every guest
of the house on that evening are insnlted,
deserye the emphatic condemnation of every
right-minded lady and gentleman in Kenosha.
These two outrageous burlesqnes bear the
unmistakable indications of having been
the work of the same vulgar mind.
