| Dame Rumor has it, that in the no
distant future, rare treat will be given
the people of Watertown, by the Young
Ladies' club of the West side, or better
known as the "Sweet Sixteen club" of
this city. She claims it will consist of
a musical and literary programme SINH
lar to the one rendered by them in
Oconomowoc, on August 7th. We hope
Dame Rumor is correct this time as she
generally is, and we will wait patiently
for their first appearance in this city.

{ "A pleasant meeting of Watertown
Chapter of Royal Arch Masons was
| held in Masonic Hall last Saturday
| evening. Wisconsin Chapter, of Mil
waukee, undertook the work of the
| Communication, and were assisted by
| companions from Oconomowoc, Ixonia,
Fort Atkinson, Waterloo, Columbus
and Jefferson. After the business of
the evening was through, the compani-
ons partook of sumptuous repast to-
gether in the banquet room adjoining,
and thus ended very interesting and
enjoyable evening.
The baseball game Sunday between
the II. w. Vogels nine and the Sun
Prairie club, was the most uninterest-
ing contest of the seasons series thus
far. Finding weak club to contend
against the Vogels contented them
selves with toying with their advers-
aries in giving them every opportunity
without making a complete farce Of the
game, to score runs. At no time dur
ing the playing was our boys put to
their mettle, and victory was easily
secured by the Vogels over the Prairie
| flowers Score, IA to 6.
Wisconsin had six regiments of In
fantry and one independent company
in the Battle of Gettysburg, and the
| Wisconsin Brigade lost more men kill
ed and wounded than any other Bri-
gade in the army. That gallant soldier
Gen. Lucius Fairchild, of Madison, lost
his arm on the famous field, and the
record made by the sons of our state
during those three memorable July
| days, Of 1863, was one of which every
citizen of our state can be justly proud.
On Tuesday, October 18th next, the
people of Watertown will have chance
to see the men of our state in the titanic
conflict and learn of the great service
rendered by them to our country and
flag at Gettysburg.
AT the performance Of "The Kin
dergarden" at Concordia Opera house,
Monday evening, three misses from the
| West side set an example which it
would be we'll for some of the older
habitues of such places to initiate. At
the commencement of the entertain
ment they removed their hats, giving
persons behind them free and unob-
structed view of the stage. The head
gear worn by many ladies at concerts
and theatres may always be ornament
al, and as a rule useful, but if the wear
ers emily knew what a nuisance it be-
comes to spectators whose view is cut
off by it, there would be fewer large
hats worn on such occasions, or else
they would be lain aside after the
| fashion ofthe sensible and independent
maidens from the West side, whose
graceful act suggested this item.
