The residence of J. NJ Lowry, of
Milwaukee was entered by burglars one
night last week and a large amount OF
Iewelrv, silver ware and other articles OF
value were taken by the robbers. No

The wind played such sad havoc
with the democratic banners last Monday
that they had to be taken down to save
them from being torn into shredS. OF
course it was republican zephyr, and re-
publican money paid it for its destructive
work.

There seems to be a well-founded
rumor that the St. Paul company has
purchased the old Central Wisconsin pro-

and embankments as far as Jefferson.

Lake Mills and Waterloo.
We received pleasant call yester-
day from Prof Fl. Stadden and Prof.
r. F. Gould, constituting the balloon
party, under whose auspices three ascen-
sions will be made with the air-ship St.
Elmo from the driving park during the
Central Fair. From their appearance
these gentlemen mean business in their
line, and the fulfillment of their contract
with the Central Fair society may be re-
lied upon.
We hope the rumor to the effect that
the Chicago & Northwestern railway COM
pany intend erecting a new depot in this
ity the present season, may prove cor
It. The building the company occupy
Aere is hardly up to their standing or the
requirements Of their business, and there
fore its replacement would be considered
in the light Of much needed improve
ment. We hope we may soon be able to
chronicle the commencement of the work
On the completion of the Northwest
ern's Madison branch from Milwaukee to
jefferson, which will be in the spring,
morning and evening trains will run both
WAYS between Rockford, Uia Beloit, Alton,
GAINESVILLE, Milton Junction and Jefferson
to and from Milwaukee. As the line is
completed to Madison, the morning and
evening trains from there will connect
with the Rockford train at the Jefferson
Junction, both ways.
The trade in live cattle between this
country and Europe, begun few years
ago as an experiment, has increased tC
such an extent that it now supersedes that
of dressed meats. From the ports of New
York Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore
Portland and Montreal the shipments last
season amounted to 105,824 head; thus
far, this year, the shipments have beer
$1,000 head. The amount OF this trafhc
IN money, is from $32, 600, 900 to $50, 900
900 per annum.
-"Have you heard from Maine?" was
what the democrats wanted to know o.
republicans for two or three days after
MONDAYS election. Saturday morning
the republicans answered by throwing tt
the breeze from the Garfield & Arthur
Headquarters, a banner on which was
inscribed in large letters eve have
heard from Maine" If not weeping
and wailing' there was at least "gnashins
If teeth on the part of good many
democrats who saw how handsomely thu
ables had been turned upon them. An
Their time these fellows won't crow unit
ley get out Of the woods.
