July 18th, 1855.

The day we celebrate passed off in
this city more quietly than usual. Near
~ all the members Of Hecker Post and
their families, went to Sleepy Eye to
participate in the festivities there ar
ranged by the Wesley Greene Post G.
A. R. Quite large crowd Of people
from the surrounding country congre-
gated in this city, but as there was no
effort toward a general celebration
each one spent the day according to
his or her own inclination. There was
the usual national salute by Capt.
Burg's battery at sunrise, and at / o.
clock fp. N. company A preceded by
the City Band paraded through the eli
~ and thence to St. Jacobs Heights,
where the afternoon was spent in a

Notwithstanding the threatening
aspect OF the sky and the gentle rain.
Sunday evening, a fair audience as
sembled at Union Hall to witness the
performance at the concert given for
the benefit of the Lutheran College.
Those who were present speak of the
entertainment in the most unqua lifted
terms of praise. The entire program
was rendered in a mastery manner,
showing unusual care in preparation
on the part of all the performers, and
giving the clearest proof Of the superior
skill and qualifications Of the leader.
The first piece, Peter SchmaIl Over
ture, piano Duet by Prof. Brook
and Mr.. Abble was rendered with such
fine execution that the audience was
completely captured on the first charge
.'Khalif Of Bagdad," a trio, two
violins and a piano, raised such astorm
OF applause that the performers were
forced to repeat. Poet and Peasant, =
q piano Duet was an extremely fine
performance.

The foregoing table shows a net in.

The foregoing table shows a net in
crease in the county of 1,762. OF tie
country towns, Lake Hanska shows the
largest increase, 249, something re-
markable, Prairieville comes next, with
an increase of 81; Leavenworth, Stark
and Albin are close together, showing
an increase of 81, So and 40, respective
iy. New Ulm looms up with IN in
crease of 865, and Sleepy Eye, despite
the removal of the round house since
the last census, comes to the front with
an increase of $50. Cottonwood and
North Star appear to have been at a
stand-still the last five years, while Lin
den only shows gain of one. The on
ly towns showing decrease are Mil
ford, AZ; Mulligan, 20, and Burnstown,
2. The decrease in Burnstown can rea-
Oily be accounted for. In the census
of 1880 the town of Springfield was in
Guided in Burnstown. Since then
Springfield has been incorporated as a
village; hence, Burnstown, including
Springfield, really shows q gain of 295
over the census of 1880. OF course,
we assume in all cases that the re-
turn smade by the assessors are correct.

Limback evinced fine talent and re-
markable capacity of voice.
''Good Night double quartet,
and the closing piece, was encored,
when the anthem ..Come unto me all

that the audience went away perfectly
enraptured.
An earnest desire is expressed by
many that we may have repetition of
the concert at an early date. New Ulm
may will be proud of such talent, and
should offer increasing inducements for
further acquisitions in the same line.

One OF our ex-warriors who is some
what versed in the use of the various
weapons of war, and has vanquished
many foe on the field of honor, called
at j. r. Neuman's place at a late hour
last Thursday night and enquired for
the proprietor. The clerks informed
the daughty warrior that Mr.. Neuman
had retired tor the night, but if it was a
matter of Importance they would call
him. Being informed Of the nature of
the call, one Of the obliging clerks in
formed the man of war that it was not
necessary to call Mr.. Neuman as he
.(the clerD could accommodate him.
In another moment the scene was
transferred to the sidewalk and our
knight Of sword sat down suddenly and
very hard. It is hardly probable that
2 similar scene will soon again be en-
acted in our quiet city. John Neuman
has advanced his clerk to captaincy
for bravery in battle.

St. Peter has had sensation. Some
weeks ago man named Gray arrived
there to engage in the egg packing busi-
ness. He rented cellar and bought
a house for 5000, paying $40 on it, and
then insured it for $500 in his own
name. Soon after it burned down, and
Gray pretended to have made narrow
escape, and also to have lost 5000 in
money by the fire. He was suspected
of firing the building, and finally
strengthened the suspicion by packing
his grip and fleeing the country.

AAuScmcutS "a various KINGS. w nile
the crowd was not large, it was order
" and everyone present spent as pleas
ant an afternoon as the oppressive heat
would permit. While the picnic was
not success financially, the boys of
company A have the satisfaction of
knowing that their friends and patrons
spent pleasant afternoon.
Shortly after one o'clock p. m. the
sweet strains of music that foated out
upon the air from Turner Hall park In
dlcated that the festivities had COM
menced there, and soon quite crowd
was seen streaming in that direction.
Here the exercises consisted in music
by the Silver Comet Band, calesthenics,
foot and sack races. etc. Here, as else.
where, IKE oppressive heat alone de-
tracted from the pleasures of the
day.
At dusk a general fusilade of fire.
works commenced all along the line.
For short time the air was kept a.
blaze with sky rockets and fire balls of
all colors from roman candles, while
the air resounded with the ever BOOM
ing never failing fire cracker.
At O'Clock the doors of Turner and
Union halls were thrown open and both
halls were soon filled with young peo-
pie DESTROYS OF engaging in the giddy
waltz. and for whom the swelterine
heat had no terrors. Everything pass
ed off satisfactorily, and it was one of
the quietest and orderly celebrations
ever known in this city; not ). drunken
man was seen and not a harsh word
heard. At
SLEEPY EYE
an enormous crowd congregated to
participate in the celebration arranged
by the Wesley Greene Post G. A. r.
Hecker Post and the lodg of Herman
Sons of this city were there in large
numbers, many being accompanied by
their ladies. Many not connected with
either organization also went up to par
ticipate in the festivities. In the pro-
cession Hecker Post had the post of
honor. The ladies of members of the
Post followed in carriages. The Her
man Sons also were assigned a posi-
ton in line, as also were the Odd Eel
lows and school children ofSleepy Eye.
1t was without doubt the largest and
most imposing procession that ever
passed through the streets of Sleepy
Eye. John Colby acted chief marshal,
and was assisted by Capt. j. Nix of
this city. During the progress of the
procession through the streets John
Zieske, Senior Vice Commander of
Wesley Greene Post, was overcome
with heat and had to be taken to his
home, but the physicians soon had him
as fresh rs ever. At the grove the as
semblage was addressed by Maj. San
ders, Geo. w. Somerville and others.
Dinner Was served in the grove, and a
right splendid repast it was. In the
afternoon there was a bowery dance,
glass ball shooting, horse racing, etc.
The members Of Hecker Post and 9TH
ers Of our citizens who spent the Fourth
at Sleepy Eye speak very highly of
their reception and entertainment.
Nearly all our people returned home
the same evening.

The city council at special session
held Monday evening passed a new or
dinance regulating the liquor traffic in
this city. The license fee remains the
same, $50; but hereafter each person to
whom license is granted must give a
bond in the penal sum of $500. A
penalty of not less than 500 nor more
than 800 attaches for any misdemean-
or. Heretofore the city authorities
were powerless to punish offenders
against the license law.
The Tracy correspondent of the Mar.
shall Nea0s- Messenger is authority for
the statement that Hon. John Lind has
concluded to remove to New Ulm and
resume his law practice here. The ad.
vantages and disadvantages of loca-
ton at St Paul. Minneapolis and other
places he had in mind, have all been
considered, and the conclusion arrived
at, that the acquaintance, such as he
has in this vicinity, will overbalance
the advantage in other respects, which
might be found elsewhere. The same
correspondent says that Mrs. Lind will
soon go to California for an extended
visit. The people of New Ulm will be
glad to learn that Mr.. Lind has finally
concluded to take up his permanent
residence in this city.
