The temperance lecture delivered here
on the night of the Sd inst, by Miss
Nash, was very interesting. No very
great oratorical effort was made by the
speaker, but solid array of facts and
figures was given, interspersed with
numerous juvenile anecdotes. Mr.. J. E.
Harris also made some appropriate re-
marks about the advancement Of the
temperance cause, and the utility of hav-
ing another Temperance society. Tween
ty-six names were secured for this pur-
pose, and the proceedings wound up with
song entitled: ''McCart-'s Mare"
Dr. O'Connel sold his house and lot in

The surprise party" at Tom Gleeson's

making him visit. Tom was surprised.

RARBORS.

We are in receipt of the annual report
of Major Robert. concerning improve
ments of harbors on the west shore of
Lake Michigan. We CLEAN some facts
from the report in relation to tue Mani
towoe and Two Rivers harbors.
The estimated cost OF so improving the
Manitowoc harbor as to get Is feet of
water, was placed at S24S, 1924. OF
this amount soc, 800 have already been
appropriated. If the amount estimated
rs necessary to complete the harbor be
appropriated in one sum, the chief of
engineers thinks that the cost of the
completion of the harbor viii not exceed
the estimate made, notwithstanding that
good deal of repair work had to be
done. On July LIST, 1878, there was a
fund available amounting to Sl5, 069, %.
The amount required for the fiscal year
1880 is placed at S21 ,6S2. 81, and this
Is deemed sum sufficient to complete
the work. During the year mentioned,
the work will consist in extending the
piers to IS feet of water and doing such
dredging as may be necessary. The Major
speaks of the more than local importance
Of the Manitowoc harb)r and says that
its completion is matter which interests
the whole commerce of the lakes.
Much interesting matter is given in re-
lation to the Two Rivers harbor. The
original estimate of the amount necessary
to complete the harbor was given at
$3.50, SIS. so, and since then there has
been appropriated 1920, 900, leaving S145,-
$3.50, as the amount necessary in fur
ther appropriation. The Major recon-
mends an appropriation of $40, 600 for
the fiscal year from June 30th, 1879, to
June Both, 1880. The work of last sum
mer consisted of making the pile piers
sand proof. No effort was made by the,
government to keep the channel open as
the sand would prevent the works being
permanent. The piers are 1900 feet in
length and it is proposed to extend them
900 feet farther. The report states that
the government has not as yet done any
thing to make the harbor available. The
accretions of sand near Cooper & Jones
bridge pier and the question as to wheth-
er these distractions are the result Of the
construction of the harbor piers is dis
cussed at length, and the conclusion
reached that the harbor piers had moth
ing to do with the sand accretions. But
he urges upon congress the necessity of
improving the harbor so that it can be
used for local commerce in view of the
possible shoaling of the water around the
bridge pier. The discussion of the OBJ
structions leads to remarks about the
land formed by deposits along the Larbor
piers. Along the east pier the shore
line has encroached on the lake $40 feet.
Along the west it has extended out coo
feet.

The N0rti Ijtste,s takes the PnoT to
task for offering to do the city printing
for $50 year, claiming that it brings
the printing business into disrepute TO
offer to do work at less than its real
Yalao. The Nord- HIesteg: must under
stand that the circumstances attending
this proposal fully justify it. The le-
publican members OF the city council
have no intention of accepting the offer
Of the PILOT. The city printing has
been used as bait TO lure republican
paper to the city. Now they can take
which ever horn of the dilemma they
choose: Go back on their promise to the
proprietors Of the paper established here
through their Vaccinations, or take the
responsibility Of paying many times
more for the printing, than that for
which the PILOT has agreed to DO 1t.
The NOrd- IVcste7l cannot with consist
ency charge us with being unprofession-
al. When its editor was a member of
the city board he secured reduction of
the amount paid for the publication Of
the proceedings of the board, which
made the sum paid much less than the
work was actually worth. But at that
time the N0rd- Weston was not one of
the official papers. The PILOT has no
intention of injuring the business of the
N0rd IFestea, but neither will it submit
to any unjust criticism from that or any
other source.

THIS week woman from Maple Grove
came to the city for legal advice. Il APP
pears that some weeks ago her husband
while drunk maltreated her, she was
beaten so badly that she bore the marks
OF her cruel punishment when here in
the city, days after the occurrence took
place. She had her husband arrested on
& peace warrant and he was bound over
III certain sum to keep the peace. This
exasperated him and he threatened to
dispose of all his property and desert
her. Fearful that he would put his
threat into execution and leave herself
and children destitute, she came to the
city and related her story to one of our
prominent attorneys. Il was indeed a
pitiful story, showing that she suffered
an amount OF abuse which stamped her
prosecutor a brute. The attorney advis-
ed her that size might pursue one of two
remedies, either to sue for divorce Or
apply to the town board of supervisors
to prevent her husband from so disp0s-
ing of his property rs to leave her entire
ly unprovided for. She did not choose
to sue for Il divorce and concluded to lay
the case before the supervisors,
A man who abuses a woman, as it is
evident this woman has been abused, is
q scoundrel and should receive the pun
ishment his deeds merit. We do not
give the mans name on account of the
unpleasant notoriety it would give his
wife.

TIE play Of .sMy Dreadful Dad, y

THE play of .My Dreadful Dad, -
given by the Wallack Company on
Thursday night, did not give as much
satisfaction as the play of the preceding
night. The fault was in the play and
moi in its execution. As an intelligent
friend of ours remarked there must be
some consistency In plot in order to in
terest people s'My Dreadful Dad" was
prepared with the intention of bringing
the foibles and peecadilloes OF an old
fop prominently before the audience.
Had there been something in the comedy
which would appeal to feelings not locat-
ed On the surface It's capabilities for Civ
ing satisfaction would have been greatly
increased As it was, while everyone
admitted the excellence Of the acting,
but few We're satisfied with the play as a
whole The farce at the close was excel
lent. This is by far the best troupe with
which Dillon has been associated in any
visit to this city. There are some two
or three beside Dillon whose acting will
secure them reputation on the stage.
An interesting contest OF viii took
place before Judge Krwan last Monday.
The circumstances which gave rise to the
contest were related by our Meme cor
respondent, some weeks ago. An old
bachelor named Lewis, died in Meme
some weeks ago among strangers, leav-
ing property to the ammount of 3. 600.
This he willed to cousin i'll Ireland,
with the exception of one dollar which
he left to brother, a resident of New
York. The brother put imam appearance
on the day fixed for admitting the will to
probate and gave notice of his intention
to contest the will, on the ground first,
that the testator was insane at the time of
making the will and second, that the
will was not executed in the manner re-
quired by the statute. a number of
witnesses were subpoened. James Pep
pard and Patrick Burns were witnesses
to the execution of the will and were ex-
amined on Monday last. 1t is propable
that the case viii be brought into tue
higher courts.
