We've had a pleasant call from Mr. Ferdinand QUINN formerly a prominent merchantof this place, and his son Henry, a young man about 21 years of age. Mr. QUINN wasform many years after leaving here in the employ of the McKEE Brothers at Janesville,but is now doing business for himself in that city in company with another, and doinga flourishing business. Both father and son are looking well and are warmly welcomedby old friends at their old home.

The concert here last Sunday for the benefit of the New Organ was quite a success.The Milwaukee News got the particulars earlier than we could and the descriptionis so correct that we use it instead of our own:

A find two manual organ built by the firm of ODENBRETT & Co. of this city wasfirst used on last Sunday afternoon, at St. Mary's church, Port Washington, a sacredconcert being given under direction of the efficient organist Prof. W. A. EHLMAN,assisted by other very good Milwaukee talent.

Misses Fannie DeGRASSE and Carrie NUNNEMACHER deserve special mention for the creditablerendering of their solos and duets. Mr. P.M. BACH delighted the audience with hisfull and well trained bass voice, in the singing of Mozart's renowned aria, “Indiesenheilgen Hallen.” Mr. F. ABLER sang a beautiful baritone solo, also with much feelingand effect. The male and mixed quartettes, in which Messrs. Geo. F. KAUDER and Jos.BAUMGARTNER assisted, were also well sung.

The organ solos were rendered in a masterly manner by Prof. W.A. EHLMAN. The performancewas a rare treat to the citizens of Port Washington, and the members of the congregationmay well congratulate themselves on their new organ, which is a superior instrument.

The Fire Engine was on trial on Monday evening at the Lake Brewery and we are informedby Mr. Peter F. DELLES one of the firemen that it threw a solid stream as high asthe old brick chimney of the old mill near the lake, and knocked brick off the topof the chimney, that will do, the chimney is over 70 feet, and now comes anothertrial on Tuesday evening, in front of the Union House of which we had ocular demonstration.The water was procured from the well of the Union House, the trial was quite satisfactory,and proved the capacity of the engine to reach the roof of the highest building intown when well handled, the boys played it handsomely, the hose was then stretcheda distance of 500 feet from the same place to KEMP & RAMSEY's malt house cornerof Franklin & Pier Sts., and here it showed equally well, commanding the entireroofs on the surrounding buildings. We take great pleasure in being able to makethis statement truthfully, because in a former article on the first trial we saidthat the engine did not work satisfactorily, which was our conviction at that time,and for which certain disinterested parties made a personal attack upon us. If anybodywas to be blamed it would be Mr. August MEYER and Mr. Henry SCHWIN. however theymight have felt about the article they made no personal attack upon the writer, whichcourse was in striking contrast with one or two others who were in no way responsible.As it would now appear Messrs. SCHWIN and MEYER saved the town at least $700. TheADVERTISER is run in the best interests of the town and county, and is bound to keepthe people posted upon what is going on in their midst truthfully and impartially,and not to please any individual or individuals.

The New Scow Tenie & Laura of Port Washington, of which mention was made in formernumbers, glided gracefully into our harbor on Monday morning last, with the Starsand Stripes flying from her mainmast and another flag with the words, “Tenie andLaura” on her foremast. she is considered by judges to be one of the neatest craftsthat came into our harbor for some time, she has a capacity for carrying 75,000 ft.of lumber. Captain OSMUNDSON of this place sails her, and is part owner. We'll soonhave a fleet at Port Washington, that is, when the contemplated improvement is completed.
