AS an instance Of the ruffanism which
prevails in this city, we are called upon to
chronicle the fact that Mr.. Ferdinand
Koehler was robbed on Saturday night last
near the Durkee school of eight dollars in
money and his watch, Valned at thirty three
dollars. Such work should be stopped. and
we hope the newly-elected officers will see to
it that il is.
Don't forget The masquerade ball at Sim
mons Hall next Monday ev ming. Three
grand prizes one for best lady's mask, one
for best gents mask. and one for best comic
mask. Admission Maskers, ST per couple;
extra ladies, rs cents each. Spectators, so
cents per couple and Is cents for extra ladies,
with privilege TO dance after unmasking.
Turn out and have good time.
IT. gives us pleasure to record the fact that
honest people do exist. A little boy, the
SON Of Mrs. Mitien, living near Mr.: G.
Schend's, found wallet with money and
papers, which the rightful owner can have
by calling and proving property. The little
fellow did not have in mind " all fools day."
but secured the package from the sidewalk
with its contents, and took it to his mother,
and she is reody and willing to give 1t TO its
rightful owner. Such examples are rare,
and we hope the little Mitten boy will keep
and sustain such honest principles through
his life.
The usual meeting of the steamer company
No. 2 took place on Tuesday night after
election returns came in, at their rooms
The affair was exceedingly pleasant. The
Mayor incumbent and prospective, was pres
ent. The disappointed Justice of the Peace
was there; the smiling cointenance of the
City Clerkelect was there to cheer the
crowd the entire company was there, and
Mr.. Scully, its foreman, did all and every
thing TO make the affair entertaining and
pleasant, and he lacked no aid from his
associates. All united in a good time, AMI
nothing prevailed but good cheer. The
Mayor, the City Clerk, the City Treasurer,
Mr.. Newell and several others made appro-
pirate speeches. The music was unusually
fine, and all the proceedings were not only
digni6ed, orderly and becoming, but most
enjoyable. We give the boys credit for their
neat room, their orderly habits, md can
safely congratulate The city on so good a
protection against the FIRE element.
We have 26 copies of the Birdseye View
of Kenosha on hand. Those who wish TO
secure copy will do well to do so at once,
for when these are taken it will be impOsi-
BILE to get one, as the Autograph stone has
been destroyed.

The following notice of Mrs. Rachael
Starr, who died in Pleasant Prairie on the
18th of March, is from the Pittsburg Times
of March 22d:
Mrs. Rachael Starr, whose death is men,
toned in another column, was the wife of
Mr.. George H. Starr, formerly, aud for many
years, resident of Sewickley. Before her
marriage she had beer teacher in the Fee
male Seminary known as "Edgeworth," and
situated near TO the station on the Fort
Wayne railroad called by the same name.
Mrs. Starr was woman of great energy Of
character. a member of the Presbyterian
church, and most active always in the dis
charge Of those charitable duties which she
assumed it as her special province to attend
to. Many among the elderly ladies of our
city who received their education under
charge of "Mother Diver" will remember
the subject of this notice as Miss Hooker,
one of the most esteemed among the teach
ers connected with that institution. The
good which she did there lives after her, as
they themselves have no doubt illustrated
in their lives and will not be slow TO testify
cheerfully to now. Geo. H. Starr, her be-
reaved husband, is far advanced in life and
cannot be expected in the order of Nature
to linger long behind her. In his sorrow he
has the sympathy of all the friends he used
to know, and who, although long separated
from him, still hold him in kindly remem-
brance.
