the auspices of the Watertown Quartette
club, Musical society odia Prot. Har-
dege's string quartette and Prof Millers
Orchestra, assisted by Prof. Hooper. plan
ist, Miss Molle Evans, of Milwaukee, and
Miss Maurer, of Ocunomowoc. The pro-
ceeds of this entertainment are TO be donat-
ed to the relief of the yellow fever suffer-
ers in the south and we need not urge the
necessity of crowded house upon tn. &C.
casion. This is the finest array of home
musical talent ever presented for the pa
tronage of our citizens and under even
ordinary circumstances we should expect to
see this effort we'll sustained. but hen " e
come to consider the charitable object in
view it is not unreasonable to anticipate
one OF the largest audiences present ever
gathered within the walls of Turner Hall
Let Us contribute to the alienation of the
wants of our stricken brethren in the south
ern states and at the same time enjoy a
6rst.class musical entertainment. The full
programme for this concert will be found
in another column, and it will be seen that
during the concert the Turner society will
introduce several tableaux and gymnastle
performances.

The first number of the Academy Tri-

Wheeler, White & Van Pelt, the popu-
lar dry goods men IN Milwaukee, appear in
this issue with new advertisement. Their
fall stock is larger and more varied than

have traded with Them, either in person
or by mail orders, speak in 1attering terms
of their way of doing business. Their
great speciality is goods of the finer grades

expressly for them, have long been noted
for their handsome shade: superior quality,
and low price. They carry all grades of
colored silks, velvets &C. and their stock of
dress goods both imported novelties and
medium and low price dress goods cannot
be equalled in the State.
1t appears from official Reports from
twelve of the largest tobacco-growng states
that there is a considerable falling off in
the tobacco crops as compared with last
year. The tobacco yield of Connecticut
valley is the only one that shows an in
crease. The falling off is not attributed to
any failure of the crops, but to the fact
that a small crop was planted, Owing TO
the agitation of the question OF the reduc-
ton of the tax on tobacco, during the last
session of Congress, tobacco was slowed
away and OF sent to the manufacturers,
and consequently the greater part of last
years crop is still on hand.

This seven mills and license revenue
would leave deficit Of $4430,77, and the
engine notes thus be left unpaid. The
special tax of 5 mills Oh the dollar origin.
ally enacted for the purpose of paying the
dept on the engines, builddg engine houses
and bridges, would if repeated pay off that
Indebtedness, and leave a balance in the
treasury of $3334,62. This balance would
also disappear if the Board should carry
out the wishes of the petitioners, including
our heaviest taxpayers, who have asked the
Board to rebuild engine house No. l; and
leave no provision for dealing with the rot
ten condition Of the Rough and Ready
Bridge, or other contingencies that might
arise. We find, however. that the levylng
of the five mills special tax is beyond the
power of the Council. and its legalization
beyond the power of the Legislature, and,
therefore, recommend you to direct the
City Clerk to omit all entry of the same in
the city tax roll. Your committee beg to
express their eregret that the engine and
floating debts against the City General Fund,
and which were created by former Boards
of Street Commissioners, cannot all be pro.
vided for and paid. and the prohibition
contained in chapter 5, Sect 4, city charter
against city floating debts be complied with
in its intention to keep the city clear from
such membranes
All of whi' is respectfully submitted.

TO P. J. PIERCE, ESQ.
M DEAR SIR,

M DEAR SIR,
| am sorry to see by communication IN
last week PILOT, that you have but little
regard for your old friend in need,-the
man who has lost so much through your
kindness. l am grieved too, to see with
what elasticity Of conscience and love OF
truth you endeavor to contract an item of
S2392 into the the shape of $3.50, which Gu
riously enough You claim to owe me. 1t
is wrong, my friend, to mislead public at
tention in this way So let me freshen up
up your impaired memory by the real
facts and figures combining the mutual
relationship in which we stand to Ole an
other. The note for S1700, L signed Aug.
"a, 1867, for my friend P. J. Pierce, l had
to pay, interest, costs etc. just $2sl9. Re-
member, all ever received from you in
return for this accommodation was mort
gage on an undivided one-half of sixty
five acres of land which you kindly left
me to do the best I could with. This 1
did, but couldn't find a purchaser to give
even 5000 for it. This state of affairs
forced me to buy out the owner of the
other undivided half, for which paid S.
a. Wood $3.50. Since one undivided
half cannot be of greater value than the
other, this, thinL ought to settle all diff
ferences as to what the land was worth
you mortgaged to me. In order to make
the whole salable it became necessary to
work and improve this property and
having held it three years, it cost me, in
elusive of purchase money to S. A. Wood
and cost of foreclosure $3.50. I then
sold it to Mr.. Walker for $4,000 and you
will find by subtracting 81, $50 from ST.
600 balance of $3.50 which properly
belongs to your credit. Let us itemize

BUSINESS FOR LADIES.

Oar attention has been called to new
article for the use Of ladies, the invention
of which has conferred an everlasting
blessing upon every lady. We refer to
the Queen City skirt suspenders for sup
porting ladies' skirts, the most desirable
and beneficial article ever invented for
the relief of women, many of whom haze
suffered years of miserable health caused
solely by carrying the weight of a num-
Der of heavy skirts, completely dragging
them down. Something to support la
dies clothing is absolutely necessary.
These suspenders are recommended by
our leading physicians to all ladies and
young girls. Every lady should have
them. A splendid opportunity is offered
to some reliable lady canvasser of this
county to secure the agency of pleasant
and profitable business. For terms and
territory write at once to the Queen City
Suspender Company, 27S Clark Street,
