relatives to come to camp.
The Congregational society have
rented the town hall. They endeavol
to maintain a service every Lords

have three at the same evening hour

house. So we trust our people vii
not lack for gospel privileges. L.

Hvmeneal,

Tuesday morning last, June 23rd,
at the church of the Assumption, Mr..
A. l.. Stenger and Miss Laura M.
Kemp were united in marriage, the
services being conducted by Rev.
Francis Watry, assisted by choir
composed of the Misses Kemp, Rich
ardson, O'Brien and Knott, and the
Messrs. Deidrich. The morning was
most anspieious, and the attendance
during the ceremony was unusually
large, the church being completely
filled with an audience composed of
the leading and representative people
of all denominations. Such agather-
ing was never before assembled in
our village on an occasion of this kind,
and is of itself a most pleasing and
appropriate testimonial of the uni
versal esteem and regard entertained
for the high contracting parties by
the citizens of Morris.
The bride, Miss Laura, daughter
of David Kemp, is one of Morris
most charming, popular and accom-
plished ladies, and is a vocalist of
pronounced ability having been a
member of the choir of the church Of
the Assumption for some years. MIR.
Stenger, during his residence in our
city, has by his manly bearing, gent
al disposition and sterling character,
won many friends, who earnestly ex-
tend to himself and beautiful bride
their best wishes for future happiness.
We take occasion to also publicly
extend to the happy couple the best
wishes and most sincere congratula-
tions of their host of friends, coupled
with a hope that their pathway
through life may be one OF continued
joy and prosperity.
The presents were many and APP
propriate, among the number, and
one that will be highly PRICED, being
an elegant and costly imported CHINA
tea set of fifty-six pieces, the gift of
the members of the Morris Fire
Department of WHICH body Mr..
Stenger is second assistant engineer
and one of the most jealous and COM
petent officers and members.
Mr., and Mrs: Stenger left for the
west for their wedding tour, and
during their absence will visit his
relatives, On their return will make
home in our midst, and we are in
formed contemplate occupying one o.
the residences opposite Mr.. Pearce's
dwelling.

Father Watry's Work,

During Rev. f. Watry's visit to
eastern Wisconsin, he delivered
lectures at Port Washington, Sank
vile, Cedarburg, Holy Cross and Da-
cada. These lectures were largely at
tended by people who are practical
farmers and who are thinking of go
ing to some newer country, where at
comparatively small cost they can
increase thu cir possessions. Rev.
Watry also visited other localities
and did valuable work for this county.
AS result of these labors, few farm
ers have already come here and have
been so we'll pleased that they are
now making preparations to purchase
and improve farms near Morris.
Each person who has come is repre-
sentative farmer in the locality from
whence he came, who, after purchas-
ing, will induce others to come and
purchase also. Had the Manitoba
railway company met the citizens of
Morris half way in this enterprise, by
furnishing special rates of transporta-
ton to those wishing to see this coun-
ty, as they were requested to do,
much larger number would now be
here. The railroad is as much inter-
ested in securing new settlers as any
person or persons who made liberal
cash contributions for the purpose of
carrying out Rev. Watry's plan, and
the smallness exhibited by the COM
pany is matter of great surprise.
Owing to i'll health Rev. Watry did
lecture as extensively as he expected
to do and consequently did not use
all of the money placed in his hands
for meeting expenses. The remainder,
twenty five per of the whole amount,
is now being returned, by the COM
mittee, to all persons subscribing and
paying to the fund. Rev. Watry has
performed an excellent work and one
which will accomplish, we think, far
reaching results for the county.

Concerning Morris Brick.

In 1881 KenHer & M ore commenced
to make brick within the limits OF
the village of Morris but after loselng
considerable money in the experiment
where forced to give up the location
tEen chosen, as imprac:icable. Later
in the the year 1882, they purchased
tract of 1873 acres of Jonas F. Brown
of Minneapolis, lying about three and
one-half miles from Morris where
they opened and successfully operated
q yard for the manufacture of COM
mon brick until their failure i'll the
year 1883. Before this, however, they
had some trouble with their foreman
which resulted in his opening an OPP
position yard near the Kenner d
Moore yard.
Through the failure of Kenner q
Moore the Kenner & Moore brick
yard property came into the hands OF
the First National Bank of Morris
which continued to hold it until late
in 1884. In the mean time the OPP
position yard was acquired by Lewis
G.. Spooner stakeholder in the
First National Bank and the two
were consolidated and organized into
a corporation known as the Morris
Brick Yard &NIanufacturing Company
of which, until recently, Mr.. spooner
has been president and general man
ager. The capital of said cooperation
is $4,000 90 and is nearly all placed,
Said company has ever since ITS ex-
isterce been gradually taking the
necessary steps looking to the manu-
facture oppressed brick and to that
end has had the necessary experiments
made to determine the question OF
whether the quality of the claF=bed,
of which the company holds 100 acres,
is suitable for SUCH purpose: We are
now informed that by tests and ex=
periments made by the most tharoughs
ly competent experts it is now an es-
tablished fact that pressed brick OF
the very finest quality can be made
| upon the yards of the company and
for that purpose on Saturday last the
company purchased the celebrated
steam power pressed brick machine
known as the Andrus Pressed Brick
Machine which is recognized through.
out the United States as in every way
the most practicable, the most per-
feet and the most economical pressed
brick machine manufactured, and the
one purchased by the brick yarf
company is guaranteed to manufact'
ure first quality of pressed brick
from the clay bed of said company al
the rate of 1900 per hour and to do it,
work so we'll and so rapidly that thu
cost of the manufacture of the pressed
brick shall be less than the presen
cost of the manufacture of common
brick.
Hugh Whlteley is President ant
general manager and A. Dekay Secre
tary and Treasurer of the company.

A Veteran.

Capt. Daniel Armistead, aged SO, of
Virginia, has witnessed twenty Presi-
dental inaugurations, undoubtedly an
experience of which no other American
can boast. He remembers that Jeffer-
son was dressed in brown clothes, and
spoke so low that the people could not
hear him. Madison wore homespun,
and that seemed to create more enthu-
siasm than anything else. Monroe's in
augural speech was made from an ele-
waited platform east of the Capitol, which
was then being rebuilt. He rode il a
carriage drawn by two white horses, fol-
lowed by an immense procession. Armi-
stead was greatly impressed by the in
auguration Of John Quincy Adams.
Gen. Jackson, WHO had been a Compel
ltor for the Presidency, was also pres
ent, and he excited great applause by
his public congratulation of Adams. 81
have never seen ally account of it, says
the venerable captain, "but [ can tell
you that there was plenty of rowdyism
on that day. Why, when Gen, jackson
came forward and shook hands with MIR.
Adams, a man in the crowd waved his
hat and called out, Three cheers for
Jacksonl But nothing equalled the
scenes at the Inauguration of Jackson
1t seemed that every bully and desperate
in the United States had suddenly come
to the capitol. Half the men had their
trousers in their boots, and some wore
pistols in full view. Washington was
small then, aud the hotels and boarding
houses could not hold the crowds.
Every man carried hickory stick, and
some women wore necklaces made of
small hickory nuts fancifully painted. 1t
was like a whole tribe of Indians let
loose on the streets of Washington.
Gen. Jackson seemed to enjoy these
outlandish demonstrations. He kept his
hat oil and smiled at the crowd of yellers.
Go in, Andy; we put you therel' and
Give 'em thunder, Andyl' were come of
the expressions heard, all OF which the
General smiled at.

The Chances in Washington.

A Washington correspondent of the
World says: I heard a discourse from
Isaac Hill, one of the Assistant Ser
geants alarms of the House. He is a
roaring Democrat. He has great fol.
up to Isaac as the children of Israel did
to Moses. After the 4th of March Isaac
Hill had fully five thousand people who
wrote to him that they were ready to
come to Washington. l heard him talk
ing to one of his Ohio friends. The
words OF wisdom whic1 bubbled from
his lips should be treasured up by those
who are contemplating a visit to Wash
ington. Said Hill to his hopeful Ohio
friend: "You don't seem to understand
this new deal. You have come on here
with enough papers to stretch from the
Treasury to the Capitol in a straight
string; you want me to present those
papers for you, you fool, you. Do you
think 1 am going to ruin you? Didn't
you know that papers don't count with
this Administration The more man
puts in of them the worse he is of. And
you want me to get up delegation for
you, too. Well, you are from the back
woods. If just wanted to lay you ont
completely, l would go out to the White
House with a delegation. You ask me
what you shall do. Well, I will tell you.
You just go home by the first train.
Take your papers with you. Then, il
you want an Office, really, you might
send your name and your post-ofIice adj
dress to the President. Then wait and
see if lightning doesn't strike you. You
stand a better chance that way than YOU
would in Washington with the biggest
delegation and the longest string Of
papers that was ever made"

Cows and Hens.

The average daily receipt of domestic
and imported eggs in New York city
alone amounts to about 800, 900 dozen,
the proportion of the former to the lat
ter being in the ratio of twenty eight to
one Taking the average value of i'm
ported eggs, which is sixteen cents per
dozen, as the basis of calculation, we
6nd that the daily receipt of eggs in
nearly $50 600, and the yearly value to
about SIG, 000,0 1t is estimated that
taking the whole country into consider
alton, the yearly business in hen fruit
amounts to something like $50, 900, 900.
Large as these figures are, they sink
into comparative insignifcance when
contrasted with the dairy products of
the country. The statistics for 1884,
which give the total value of these pro-
ducts for the State of New York, pre-
sents n startling array of figures. The
value of the milk is placed at Sill ,563,
531; cheese, S14, 994, SOB; butter, $751;
8S5, 455; cream, S3,104, IA; calves,
81, 900, 600; making total yearly pro-
duction of $50, 537, 1873 in New York
State alone.
The amount of capital engaged in
carrying on the dairy interest is also
enormous, no less than 4, $40, $50 acres
of New York land, valued at $251, 179,
$40, being devoted to dairying. The
machinery employed is valued at S261,-
1877, IT'S, and the COWS are estimated to
be worth over $35, 900, 900, making the
total capital engaged in this one interest
in single State approximate the vast
sum of $550.000.0O0.
