John BRUSS, H.G. GROTH & Co., BOERNER Bros., F. BUECHELE, WIRTH Bros., Mrs. PODOLL,H.C. NERO, Chas. WILKE, Jacob FROELICH, Cedarburg Woolen Mills, HENTSCHEL & JOCHEM,LAUTERBACH & Co.

We publish the foregoing with great pleasure. There ought to be an entire day ofrest out of one week for every man, and especially for those who are hard at workduring the whole week, let alone the sacredness of the day as considered by so manyof our best citizens.

With exception of the Post Office which will be open from 10:30 to 11:30.

*******************
One of the oldest settlers in town of Jackson, is Patrick O'BRIEN Esq. and it musthave been an oversight that his name was not mentioned among the old settlers atthe meeting of the club lately in West Bend. Mr. O'BRIEN is a valuable citizen, andif any of our Wisconsin millionaires wish to have their grounds around their palacestastefully laid out, they always know how to coax him away from his fine farm. Weunderstand that Mr. MARSHALL has engaged him to still more beautify his splendidplace at Lake Side, Waukesha County, where Mr. O'BRIEN has ordered the NEWS to besent to him in order to know what is going on at home during his stay there.

*******************
STILL BUILDING
Mr. B. WEBER, it seems, did not sell his stone house at the Depot, to Mr. Chas. KLUG,to get along with one house less; for he has commenced building another, betweensaid house and his hotel property; and has its basement well along already, havingcommenced the digging of the cellar last Wednesday. He will build it about the samesize of the one sold, and of brick, gothic style and one story high.

During the summer, he will also build of brick, the long-contemplated store building,on the corner immediately opposite his hotel; and ere many months the people of theDepot Ward of the city of Cedarburg, will have a chance to buy their groceries anddry goods, nearer home.

It strikes us it would not be a bad plan for some of our large dealers to occupyit, as a branch store, if it is to be rented. It is inevitable that the Depot, theHilgen Manf. Co., the Elevators, and Springs Hotels and the Cheese factory, willcause business to concentrate more and more in that locality, and hence make it agood place for trade.

*******************
Notice the change in Dr. BEVIER and Wm. SCHLAEGER's ad. They have their headquartersat Washington House and persons wishing to consult them can find them at that placeevery Fair day.
