The Gather and Crops.

The recent storms which have prevailed
in this section have damaged the growing
crops more or less The heavy rains of
Sunday lodged considerable grain much of
which, however, is Strengthening up sgain
and it is hoped will have suffered little
from the prostration. Some fields of barley
are down for good and it is feared the berry
will be injured. Many farmers have had
great portion ottheir hay badly damaged by
the wet weather clover suffering the most.
Some of the marshes are now so flooded
that no work can be done upon them. On
the whole the worst set back the farmers
have had thus far is in the way Of damage
TO their hay crop. Indications point to the
probability offs bountiIul harvest notwth-
standing recent draw backs.

A Dishonest EmpIoye.

Mr.. & Mrs. William Slight, residing i n
the town ofEmmet, just north of the city
limits, came to town last Wednesday fore
noon and arrived home about noon to ind
that during their absence their hired man,
named William Reeves, had absconded with
Mrs. Sights jewelry, about four dollars in
money and different articles. Deputy Sher-
if Scott happening along soon after on his
way to juneau in buggy heard of the rob-
berry and concluding that the fellow had
gone north to take the train at Clyman has
tened to that station reaching there just be-
fore the arrival of the aft ernoon passenger
train going north, and sure enough Reeves
emerged from piece of woods ready to
board the train when Scott nabbed him and
brought him to town placing the prisoner
in the lookup. Thursday Reeves was TAX en-
before Justice Beckmann in the 9th ward
and sentenced to eight days imprisonment,
in the Dodge County Jail at juneau. The
lightness of the sentenced surprised every
ons acquainted with the case; but being his
first offence helped the young man cons id.
erably. 1t is hoped for his own good that
he twill keep all the fair promises he made
TO the Justice. Reeves halls from Osh-
kosh and was in the employ of Mr.. Sigh
only ten days.

Headstones for Deceased Soldiers.

Congress having made provision for pro-
viding headstones for deceased soldiers, it
remains only for the relatives or their old
comrades in arms to make application. If
there are any buried in this vicinity whose
graves are unmarked it would be we'll to
make application. The following is the
subject:
Be it enacted &c., That the Secretary of
War is hereby authorized to erect head
stones over the graves ofsoldiers who served
in the Regular or Volunteer Army of the
United States during the war for the Union
and who have been buried in private, vii
lage or city cemeteries. in the same manner
as provided by the law of March 8, 1873,
for those inferred In national military ceme-
teries; and for this purpose, and for the ex.
penses incident to such work, so much of
the appropriation of one mil lion dollars,
made in the act above mentioned, as has
not been expended, and as may be neces-
sary, is hereby made available.
The Secretary of War shall cause to be
preserved in the records of bis Department
the names and places of burial of all soldiers
for whom such headstones shall have been
ere cted by authority of this or any former
acts.

A New Handbook.

A travellers hand book, about as neat and
entertaining little volume of the sort as
was ever published, has just made its ap-
pearance in large cities on the counters of
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul ticket Of
Health and Pleasure Resorts of the Golden
Northwest" and the subject, so timely for
prospective pleasure seekers out Of the town,
has received such wealth of illustrations,
literally speaking, as insures the popularity
and preservation of the little volume. The
pictures which gem the book on almost
everJ page are, without exaggeration, scare
~ inferior to steel engravings, while their
intrinsic merit will be appreciated by all
who know the wealth of natural scenery
spread out in Badgerdom. The views along
the 'Dells of the Wisconsin" are famous
over the country for their wonderful sur
prises, Mirneso: lakes, cascades, falls
including hose of Minnehaha, are portray
ed true to life, and the connecting narrative
that serves AS setting to the pictures is a
rare combination of fact and fancy The
book compels perusal as the stacks that have
disappeared from the company's counters
every where show.

The Fourth.

The Fourth of July was very quietly OBJ
served in Watertown this year there being
NJ formal celebration of the day if we ex-
cept the demonstration made by the Turner
Society in honor of the anniversary. A
heavy shower the afternoon previous made
the roads little muddy in the forenoon
but in the afternoon the roads were in good
condition tor driving and the weather was
of toe most favorable character for enjoy
ment all day. There was quite a stir at
Turner Park to witness the attrac-
items announced. Charles H. Gardner de-
livered an Grafton in English from the grand
stand followed by Charles Czech with an ad-
dress in German. Gymnastic exercises were
given in the afternoon by members of the
Turner society and in the evening fireworks
were sent off in front Of Turner Hall to the
great delight of the vast audience assembled,
followed by grand boil in the ball which
was largely atte ended. The members of
G. G. & S. society with a number of their
friends held pleasant picnic on Concor-
dia Island Others enjoyed thems elves in
a quiet, patriotic manner at their own
homes, free from the hustle and turmoil of
the crowds and SO passed the time in what
seemed to them the happiest and most ap-
propriate way ofspending ".he day we cele-
brate." VI course the usual number went
out Of town to enjoy themselves amidst
new scenes and faces. And so passed away
the Fourth of 1879.

The Phoenix Boys and the Fourth.

Thc Pheh1x BOYS ana the FOuEtE.
most interesting and pleasant feature
connected with the observance of the Fourth
here was the splendid reception the boys of
the Phoenix Fire Company exten ded to their
friends during the day. In the undertake
ing of course the boys had the cooperation
and assistance of their lady friends, and to
the presence and good Offices of the fair
ones no doubt can be attributed no little
share of the success that attended it. The
Silsby en- CINE, always beautiful, this time
shown with additional lus!er and splendor,
and was tastefully decorated with hand
some floral trimmings. Everything in the
ergine-room " as in apPe-pie order indi-
eating the services Of good hous ekeepers
about the premises. But up stairs in the
meeting room the climax was capped and
the zenith Of ones idea of perfection reached
for here was the eye captivated with fur
nlture, pictures, fixtures and adornments
fitted for a parlor, while the sumptuousiy
spread board OF dainty edibles, with pro-
fuse accompaniment Of lemonade, was truly
a sight for the behorder and sufficient to
arouse within every breast most insplr-
ing feeling of patriotic ardor. The Phoenix
boys and their helpmates were adequate to
the occasion and spared no pains to ma Ike
it pleasant for all their callers whom it
may well be judged were not few nor far
between. This affair was certainly very
happy event of the day and those who were
fortunate enough to attend the Phoenix
boys reception on the Fourth of July, 1879,
will have reason to long remember it.

Confidence Men Arrest ed.

doctor" Hickey and Harry Longmeyer
connected with W. w Coles circus in the
capacity of propretors of side show, were
arrested at Oshkosh Saturday night and
brought to this city by Deputy Sheriff Cum
ningham Monday The prisoners are charg-
ed with playing confidence game on some
of our citizens on the 18th of June when
the circus performed here, the first intelli-
geuce of which was conveyed through the
medium of the Sentinel Monday morning
and crea ted no little excitement in our
midst. 1t is alleged that Hickey and Long
meyer with confederstes went through
parties here to the tune of some $1,000. III e
prisoners were brought before Just;!e Am.
brose for preliminary examinatl on and held
to bail each in the sum of Of eight hundred
collars. At the present writing DR.. Hickey
and Mr.. Longmeyer are in the hands of
the officers awaiting the coming of their
bail which they expect to-day "wednesday.
The names of several parties are given as
being the victims Of this ansaction which
Tor obvious reasons we suppress until
TIE whole business comes outas it probably
will shortly. 1t is alleged that one of our
prominent citizens was feeced out Of $1,000
and three others from this vicinity losing
$500 each in their desperate attempt to
'fdouule their money" One Individual
living Just outside the city limits is said to
have appeared at one of the banks to Dor
rowed $1,000 on che fatal day, but happen
ing to tell the purpose it was wanted for,
| was refused it, and thus can credit himse f
with $1,000 saved if not earned.

could be gulled by party of travelling

You'd the imagination of at least an ordin-
airy mind. Nevertheless we hope if the Sc
parties are the guilty ones that the spunish-
ment they deserve will be fully melted out
