ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION.

The Freter Saengerbat'ad, of this city,
celebrated the 25th anniversary of its in
stituhon on Sunday last. The society
was organized in 1856. There are but
four members of the society now, who
became members at the time of its organ
ization. These are John Schuette, Fred
Seeger, William Rahr and Eugene Alter.
The society made special efforts to
make the entertainment of Sunday ex-
ceptionally good. All the singing socie-
ties of the county were invited to be
present. The audience was much larger
than is usually seen at Turner Hall, and
the programme more difficult than Mani
towoc audiences are accustomedto. Some
of the finest selections surpassed our ca ,
pacity for enjoyment. A selection from
Mendelssohn, comprising a solo, chorus
and orchestra is said to be one OF the
finest things written by the great COM
poser The solos were rendered by Mr.
Adolph Whitman and Miss Lueps. The
singing OF Mrs. Bieling, accompanied by
Prof. Bieling on the piano and MIR. Eberle
on the clarionet, the solo by Miss Haver-
land, and the overture from the opera
Martha" were among the most enjoya-
BILE parts of the concert.
In the evening a ball was given, during
which time diplomas were awarded to
John Schuette, William Rahr and Eugene
Alter, certifying the bearers to be honorary
members. Mr.. Piening made the pres
entation speech. An address was also
delivered by Mr.. Richter. The recipients
of the diplomas responded in a very hap
nY manner

The MILL OF TIE GODS.

1t will be recollected that four young
fellows were arrested some weeks ago
for fornicaction. The offense was about
as aggravated one as could be conceived.
a young girl brought suit against
Young fellow named Hermann, claiming
that he was The father of child to which
she had given birth. The girl was
iriendIess, her father having disowned her
on account of the shame which she
brought upon him. Her mother was the
only relative whose affection was strong
er than her sense of the disgrace into
which.her daughter had fallen, and she
accompanied her daughter to the court
in which she sought justice against one
of her seducers. The women were help
less The defendant was backed by four
hcentious young men who think it merit
orious to overcome women's virtue and
boast of their achievement. Those four
young fellows came into court to prove
that the friendless young woman, who
through their means had lost friends,
home aud character, was little better
than a public character. That each and
all of them had Illicit intercourse with
her. 1t was thus this band of five hoped,
by testifying to their own infamy, to de-
fly the law and deprive the girl of redress.
Each one was cautioned by Judge Kir
wan before testifying that if he criminal
ed himself he was liable to arrest. So
eager was one of them, Flosbach, to have
it understood that he was experienced in
sexual wickedness, that he undertook to
argue that it was incumbent upon him to
tell all he knew Of his own infamous con-
duct, and did tell it with such swagger-
ing glee as to disgust people who heard
the dirty recital. The Judge sent for
the District Attorney and the four wit
nesses who not satisfied with running the
girl, in fact, boosted of it in a court of
justice, were promptly arrested. They
accomplished what they purposed.
Through their testimony and the ingenu-
ity of an able lawyer the young man ar
rested on the girls complaint was dis
charged.
But the District Attorney was not
through with the young men. They
reckoned without their host. Mr.. A.
Schmitz had them promptly arraigned.
Three were tried before Justic Wallich,
and one before Judge Kirwan. Flos
bach, demanded jury and the attending
officer furnished the names of eighteen
of the best men In the city. The jury
selected from the list brought in a YER
dict of guilty and Flosbach was sentenced
to pay fine of SIS or 60 to Jail four
months. Scherer's sentence was $50
fine or confinement in the county Jail for
three months. He went to Jail. Krueg-
er, who is said to be the best of the
quartette was fined $50 and paid it
promptly. Spinke who was tried before
Judge Kirwan was sentenced to pay a
fine of $50 or go to Jail four months. He
also went to Jail.
Every one commends the action of the
justices in going to almost the full limit
of the law in imposing punishment. Mir.
Sch,nitz is deserving of the gratitude of
all weIl-desposed persons for his vigor in
prosecuting the cases. This disreput-
able means of defense was becoming too
common and this will put an end to it.

a YOUNG man by the name of William
Kotz, coachman for Mr.. Charles McClel-
Ian, came to my store one morning COM
planning that his feet hurt him very bad
ly, and expressing fears that they were
frost bitten. He had in vain tried to get
relief by consulting physicians, and had
endeavored, without success, to ease the
pain by rubbing his feet with snow and
ice, the remedy applied in such cases.
Being exposed great deal to the cold,
by his occupation, his feet got worse
daily, until one day he tainted in the
street. A few days after he again came
to my store and showed me his feet. I
have seen great many sores in my life,
but nothing to equal this, and was afraid
the poor fellow would lose his limbs.
He asked me for st. Jacobs Oil; but at
first l refused, as l did not wish to take
the responsibility upon myself, not be-
ing a great admirer of so called Patent
Medicines. However, some friends,
who happened to be in the store at the
time, begged me give the st. Jacobs Oil
to the sufferer; SO we rubbed his feet
we'll with the Oil, and he took the re-
mainder with him. After nine days the
same man again came into my store, per-
fectly well, and requested me to write to
you of this most wonderful cure; he also
stated, that two other persons had been
cured of rheumatism by the same bottle
which helped him. JOHN LESzEN.

DPHTHERIA is becoming fearfuily pre-
valent in the county. There are not
many deaths reported as yet, but Mr..
Hinrichs informs us that as many as forty
persons call daily for medicine to be used
in cases of sore throat and diphtheria.
Something should be done to check the
spread of the disease. Rooms should be
well ventilated and all garbage and vege-
table matter from which noxious gases
may arise should be cleared up. Cleanli
ness and fresh air are quite proven
tive of diphtheria. There is not much
use in denying that diphtheria is infec-
tious. Even if there is doubt, it should
induce people to take precautions against
its spread. Schools should be closed
until danger is passed.

PEOPLE seem to derive pleasure from
giving circulation to stories which ruin q
neighbours character. This evil propen-
sity is very difficult to account for.
Neighbors will not hesitate to give great
er currency to damaging rumor, while
they could not be induced to do any
bodily injury to the person whose repu-
tation they aid in destroying. \ story
of this kind was started about Coopers-
town young man. The report was that
he was caught stealing something from
the house of farmer while on his way
to town. The story was denied by the
person from whom it was charged the
articles were stolen, and again it was re-
ported that money was used to hush the
matter up. The gentleman then came
to town and made out an affidavit that
the young man in question never stole or
attempted to steal anything from him,
that he never suspected him of having
done so, that he never reported that he
had done so and that no one ever offered
him money SO as not TO expose him. The
young man belongs to one of the most
respectable families Of the town in which
he lives.

VINEGAR FACTORY.

On Monday We looked over Mr.. Rich
ter's Vinegar Factory, in this city. This
winter he built quite large addition to
his works, and he now can manufacture
when running to the fullest capacity,
about eight barrels day. Every thing
in the factory is arranged conveniently
and the process of manufacture is intelli-
gent and healthful. Corn, rye and malt
are used and the vinegar is entirely free
from adulteration. He has complete
outfit of needful new machinery and he
gives personal attention to all the details
of manufacture.
He manufactures about one thousand
barrels annually, most Of which is sold at
Appleton, Kewaunee, Ahnapee, Sheboy-
gan and Manitowoc. Mr.. Richter has
very comprehensive knowledge of chem
istry, and he brings his knowledge into
practice in his factory. His vinegar has
none of that acridity, so common and SO
harmful in vinegar which contains foreign
substances. We think our merchants
would be acting wisely in purchasing
vinegar solely from the factory in this
city. They certainly would get very
good article.

The Georgia Minstrels had quite a
large house on Saturday night, much
larger than they would have should they
repeat their visit to this city. The con-
cert, if the term is not misnomer, was
a symposium of discord, bowling and
coarse athletic feats. There was not a
single meritorious thing in the whole af-
fair excepting perhaps the "Hvmn" and
the acting of Obadiah Slow. No one
need expect anything from negro troupe
bat bundle of absurdities and laugh
able oddities, But the MINISTRIES were
not even humorous. Most people who
attended expected some negro ballads,
and there can be no doubt that members
of the troupe could make these enjoyable
to the audience. We understand the
company cleared $40 by the perform
auce.

SOME years-ago person was arrested
at Green Bay for diverting the funds of
some institution into his own pocket.
He gave bail for his appearance, but ran
away leaving his bondman in the lurch.
A couple of weeks ago Sheriff Pierce
learned of the fellows being in the city.
He Immediately telegraphed to Green
Bay asking whether the man was wanted.
Before a reply came Sheriff Pierce was
called away on some business, and gave
directions to constable how to act. The
constable received the telegram stating
that the person was wanted" and also
that the sheriff of Brown had written.
Before making the arrest the constable
awaited the arrival of the letter and in
the meantime the party wanted had left.
