1854 and viii receive prompt attention
StiIicdter Nc.Gs.
| Mrs. Matt Clark is very sick, and her trip
south with her children in search of health
will have to be postponed until she gets able
to travel.
| We regret to learn that DR.. Merrill is much
worse, and it looks as if, even with the best
of care, he is having a serious time before
him.
On next Thursday evening there will be q
masquerade ball in the Music hall, and AS
the parties who have ii in charge are favorites
among our young folks, no doubt they will
have pleasant time.
| On Wednesday evening the entertainment
to be given by the ladies, in aid of the
Library association, promises to be grand
affair, and the prospects are that their finan-
| ces will be greatly increased.
Some six weeks ago it was noticed in the
GLOBE the finding of wood, in a well which
was being dug in Oak park, a long distance
| below the surface. Our confreres have just
found it out, and they have done well.
| The man Cummings, whom we mentioned
some time ago as being very sick, is so low
that his death may be expected at any mo-
ment. We trust that those owing him will
pay over the small amounts, SO as to help
the family along.
Mr.. Edward Elliott returned from the
Namekogan camps on Saturday evening.
He reports that the intense cold has inter-
fered considerably with getting out logs, and
that work is progressing but slowly. He is
hauling 5000, 900 feet for Jordan Sc Mat
theWs.
The weather is keeping too cold for COM
fort, and 1885 is proving itself, so far, one Of
the coolest in many years. So says the old
residents. 1t is keeping well under zero. A
few degrees Of the heat that friend Seymour
has been having in Havana would be ac-
ceptable.
Mr.. Frank E. Bufum, the Muscatlnc lum-
herman, has for the past week been in this
section taking stock as to the output of
| logs this season. He is large dealer, MS his
mills cut millions of feet yearly. II the cut
is small he will buy early, and OF last sea-
sons logs, but if the cut Is heavy he will
buy only as he requires, knowing as he
does that prices will continue low.
There viii be meeting of the Relief So
ciety on next wednesday afternoon at the
rooms OF the Young Mems Christian sssocia-
! ton to make final arrangements for the en-
tertainment at the roller skating rink next
week. During the past week there were
| qlite a number Of new applications for as
| sistance and the officers and committee were
! kept busy
4. We understand that those who attended
the grand concert on Friday evening last,
! given by Prof. Werner, were so well pleased
that they are to ask the professor, the Phil
harmonics aud Mr.. W. c. Masterman to re-
peat it. 1t was the grandest concert ever
given in the city, and We trust that they will
be prevailed upon to give the citizens just
such another treat at an early day.
J. T. Sullivan was yesterday much i'm
proved, but DR.. Williams decided In the
afternoon that he should not be removed to
his residence, as he can be kept much more
quiet in the prison hospital. The Odd Fell
! lows are taking due care OF him, relays Of
men being sent nightly to nurse him.
Assigee jerks reports that claims on the
estate of Walker, Judd Il Veaze are being
fled rapidly, and in many cases the amounts
are much more favorable for the firm than at
one time supposed Mr.. Walker, the old
bookkeeper of the firm, and who is now in
charge under Capt jerks, fully understan DIS
each item Of transactions, and his being APP
pointed was in good place.
1t is no easy matter to move portable en-
gines from the mandatory at the prison TO
the sheds at Dutchtown with the snow at its
present depth. We notice that the large
teams make but little progress, and Engineer
jerks, who has charge of the transportation
and of all the shipments, finds 1t altogether
too cool work. However, BY atten ling 10 1t
10 person, he knows just exactly where each
machine is placed aud can afterwards ship
as be wants them.
On Tuesday, tomorrow, It is expected
that the iron will be in place on the Wiscon-
sin Central iron bridge crossing the st. Croix
river. q short distance above this city. This
span is the last, and is the one blown down
during the cyclone last fall. By Thursday
everything will be in readiness for the
through passenger and freight trains of Mon
day. This bridge Is a model of Workman ship
and is the finest bridge In the northwest
Owing to the severe cold the men who have
been at work The past week have had a
hard time. From the time the first blow
was struck In the construction Of the bridge
until the present there has been no serious
accident.
We have just been Shown, and have In our
Office piece of needle-work, 239 years old
having been made in Germany in 1858. 1t
is an heirloom, belonging TO Mrs. Nordstrom,
who came to this city some years ago from
Sweden, but whose ancestors were German.
The work has descended TO the eldest Of the
family, irrespective OF sex. II is made OF
silk, and the landscaps views, birds, ETC., are
true 10 life Some small parts Of the dozen
objects are wanting, but the perfectness Of
most OF the birds showed that in that day,
work Of that kind was far advanced The
silk has kept the eolors WE'LL aud canary
in one OF the blocks Is life-like. Each
bird IS Of different genus Il Is worth look
ing al aud examining. We will have much
pleasure in showing it to those interested in
such work.
