LETTER FROM FLORIDA.

A letter has been received from
George w. Clark, who is in Miami,
Fla, written on the l4th day of Feb
He says that Messrs. Dunn, Wehrley,
Luebner, A. III. Steinke and Mr.
WehYley's mother all OF Wausau, have
been down there and enjoyed the
climate. Up to Jan. 1st, he said not
robin had been seen in that coun-
but large numbers had appeared on
that dane. Up to that time there
had been no frost, but little was
had several times since that. The
flowers were in blossom during JAN
uary. "This has been poor weather
for growing crops; too cold and cloudy
more SO than last winter and consider
able more rain than last winter" /"
He says that the storms down there
had not been as severe as in Wausau
and vicinity but they had longer
spell of hot weather. He further
says that he believes the stories that
are told about big crops are badly ex-
aggerated. ''There is an aviation
school here this winter on land and
on water which is very interesting.
Miami is now filled with tourists,
more being here this winter than
usual. | am anxious to get back to
Wausau and shall as soon as / can,

WEDNESDAY,. JUNE II, 1874.


The editor of the Ployer Times
made Wausau visit in June, 1874,
and told of making the ride from
Stevens Point IN one of Fisch s.
Bentley's four horse post coaches.
He started from Stevens Point at
half past one, and cached the Forest
house at half pa seven. He found
its proprietor, c. A. Single, an excel
lent landlord, and his clerk, David
Jones, man just fitted for the place.
He stayed here over night, and then
went on to Jenny and stopped at the
Norway hotel. Wausau was then, he
says, "a city of 5000 people and Jenny
had a population of 35G." He was
ve'y loud in his praises of Jenny and
Wausau, and the country between the
former place and Stevens Point. He
returned to Wausau, and visited our
various institutions including the
Central and Pilot printing offices.
1t is reported that Frank Babcock
has dome gone and got married, "
but the Central has not received any
official notice as yet.
A sociable will be given at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Scholfield for the bene-
fit of st. Johns church, on Friday
evening.
The following are the teachers of
our city schools: Mr.. Bowen. princi-
pal; assistants Misses Nellie O'Con-
nor, Mary Thompson, Lima Williams,
Josie Thayer and Mrs. w. W. Arm
strong and Mrs. Andrew Neu.
The first excursion out of this city
on railroad was over the Wisconsin
Valley road, which had been built to
Knowlton. The excursion was on
June Hth. About fifty teams, laden
with passengers, left Wausau as early
as five in the morning. A great
many Of them took breakfast with
Mrs. Blair at Mosinee, and at 10 O'Clock
there were about 400 people from.
Wausau, Mosinee and Knowlton who
took the train for Grand Rapids and
Centralia. A platform car was fixed
with railings and seats and carried
the pride of our city-the Wausau
Cornet band. The train was in
charge of conductor John E, Shute;
Master Mechanic, John G. Moore,
ran the engine. There were several
officers of the road present, including
G. o. Cromwell, treasurer, and f. l..
Bostwick, contractor and bridge
builder, and Captain John O'Rourke,
who had charge of the grade work be-
tween Centralia and KnowltOn. The
ride from Centraha to Grand Rapids
occupied little over an hour and
during the time it not only rained,
but 1t poured. Cannons doomed at
the arrival of the train, and the peo-
pie of Grand Rapids and Centralia all
seemed to vie with each other in re-
ceiving and welcoming the excursion
ists.. The day was spent in picnicing
and viewing the scenes of Grand
Rapids. The return trip was made
at 4:30, reaching Knowlton at six

Now that the election on the COM
mission form of government is over
Il is time to commence action on
some necessary street improvements,
that ought to be started early in the
season, SO that the work can be
finished before another winter sets in.
One of the principal necessities in
that respect is the Strengthening out,
or setting right, the bridge on
Prospect avenue, and the opening of
the street approaching it on the
south side. The sewer on that
same street needs looking after, as
there have been many complaints
against the flowing off of sewage
through that conduit. Besides the
work mentioned there is lot more
that should have been looked after
last fall, but was neglected.

THE CORN SHOW AT STRAIT.
FORD A GREAT SUCCESS.

The corn show held at Stratfori
last Wednesday was, according to tie
statement of Principal Kadonsky Of
the agricultural school, the best e,;-
hibit of grains and farm produce eve.
held in this county. The display OF
different kinds of corn proved espec-
tally interesting and contained some
ofthe finest specimens of that cereal
ever grown anywhere. TO prove his
assertions Mr.. Kadonsky says that
Mr.. Hoffman of Fenwood sold al of,
the corn he iIad on display at ten
cents cob which brings the price
on a bushel to $500, and he sold sew
eral bushels to farmers who want TO
grow the same kind this year Prin-
cipal Kadonsky and A. c.. Schmidt of
this city were among the speakers at
the show, the former speaking on
"Rural Education at the morning
session and on ventilation in the
Care of Dairy Cows" while the latter
gave an interesting talk on the ''Re-
lations of the Farmer to the Busi-
ness Man" The show was attended
by almost every farmer in the vicin-

tant towns in the county. Among
those from this city who were pres
ent, are the following: j. f. Kadon-
sky, A. G. Schmidt, G. G. Kruger,
o. Liljeqyest, Henry Treviranus, G.
b. Mayer and w. r. Ross. The corn

OCCURRENCES OF LONG AGO.
ITEMS OF NEWS BOILED DOWN FROM THE
CENTRAL THIRTY EIGHT YEARS AGO

O'Clock. No serious accident hap
pened in the trip With the exception
that the editor of the Central and
his best girl, while driving home
with a speedy team from Mosinee,
were upset and their team ran away
and it was necessary for them to
walk back to the Blair house. The
team and carriage were found later
and brought back to Mosinee. 1t
was mentioned in this write-up of
the excursion that one of our citi-
zens, John LeMessurier, who was
seventy-four years of age, had never
before seen a locomotive engine, and
had never before seen the cars. Mr..
LeMessurier was born on the Isle of
Guernsey, and came to Wausau in
1845 and had lived here from that
time. He came to New York in a
sail vessel and thence by river to
Cleveland, o., thence over land to
st. Louis, thence by river to Galena,
H., thence by stage to Stevens Point
uia Mineral Point and South Prairie,
thence by canoe to Wausau. Mr.. Le-
Messurier was proprietor of the
Superior house, one of the largest
hotels in Wausau at that time. He
enjoyed the excursion, and it was
rich treat to him in his old age. 1t
had no bad effects on him, as he was
hale and hearty.
We find in this issue of the Central
an article from Colby, written by
81. A. P.n There will be no doubt
as to whom the writer was after
reading the following extract from it.
The article described trip to Stev-
ems Point from Colby and return.
He said: II reached Stevens Point

iished in last nights Democrat, by
which means you desire to hide be-
hind the screen Of that paper, and i'm
press upon the voters OF Tulsa county
that you are of more legal ability than
myself, ! desire to ask you TO meet
me at a time and place to be named
by you (the only restriction being that

which time you may tell the people Of
Tulsa county Of your higher qualifl-
cations for the place which you seek,
and may also impress upon them how
you stand on, the enforcement OF the
liquor law and gambling laws of the
state of oklahoma as they now exist,
With your usual subterfuge you
have lodged tho main issue of the
campaign, the one that Is before the
people; that of law enforcement, and
seek to divert the attention of the
people of Tulsa county from that
which interests them most; Of pro-
lection of their homes from the raw
ages Of the bootleggers and gamblers

robberies so often committed by the
