A FORMER OLD PORT WASHINGTON JOINS THE SILENT MAJORITY
Through the kindness of Gen. HOBART we received the following, taken from an Iowapaper. We had occasion to allude in the NEWS some months ago to Judge O'CONNOR amongour old reminiscences. The son's name was not Henry but Edgar, a handsome chubbylad of about 13 years when his parents first settled in Port Washington. Gov. DOTYgot him appointed a cadet at West Point. Soon after graduating he resigned his commission,but joined the Union army at the outbreak of the civil war. Gen. HOBART sent us aphotograph of the old gentleman; we could hardly recognize our former old friendnot having seen him for more than 30 years.

DEATH OF JUDGE O'CONNOR -- Scarce had the form of a young member of society beenlaid away in the silent tomb when Death again has laid his cold icy wing over thebreast of the aged and stilled the generous heart of a noble old man in the personof Judge B. O'CONNOR, who died on the 5th inst., at his residence in East Cascade.

Judge O'CONNOR became a resident of Cascade some four years ago, as station agentfor C.M. & St. P. Ry, which position he was compelled to resign on account ofill health during the past summer.

He was born in Poughkeepsie, New York, in the year 1809, and while quite a youngman left New York and located at Cleveland, Ohio, where he resided until 1842.

Later in life he was a prominent political figure in the politics of Wisconsin andheld prominent positions during his residence there. His son Henry O'CONNOR was adistinguished officer in the union army and was killed in Virginia campaigns andfor whom he mourned up to the hour of his own day solution. After the war, he settledat Remington, Wisconsin, and from thence to Cascade where he resided up to the timeof his death.

Judge O'CONNOR was a firm spiritualist in his religious belief, a man open-hearted,generous, liberal and sympathetic to a fault-full of practical charity for the poor,and no man in needy or distressed circumstances left his presence empty handed.

He leaves behind him to mourn his death his beloved wife, a highly cultured lady,who has indeed been to him a constant loving companion; the light of his house, andwho when insidious disease had laid the heavy hand upon her husband, nursed him withtenderness to the final end.

OBITUARY--It is our painful duty to record the death of William MUELLER, eldest sonof our former townsman John MUELLER, which occurred at his home in Thiensville onSaturday morning at 3 o'clock.

He died of consumption after a protracted illness of several months and was 23 yearsof age. He had been, for some years past, in the employ of the Planing Mill at thisplace, and by his quiet and modest manners as well as his steady and industrioushabits, had made himself universally liked and respected. We learn that during hislong sufferings, he was always cheerful and hopeful of his recovery to the last moment.

The ranks of our young men have lost in him a promising member and the bereaved familyhave our heart-felt sympathy.

We notice that the Cedarburg Woolen and Worsted Mills are laying cement floors inall the basements of their extensive establishment. The machinery, especially thatof the Worsted Mills is so very nice and sensitive, if we may call it so, and requiressuch solid floor that the very best plank floor put down as solidly as it is possible,has been found not always sufficient for such machines, which will not work wellwith the least jarring that can hardly be noticed. It is well worth spending an houror two in looking over the various machines in these mills and observe their operations.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
REMARKABLE CURE--A man residing in Calumet County who from some cause or other hadone of his eyes protruding out of his head, after trying the most eminent occultistsin Chicago and Milwaukee to cure his ailment, without success, returned home in despair.Hearing from some neighbor of his of very successful operations performed here inCedarburg by Dr. MAGER, he came down here and in a very short time, his eye was completelyrestored without the use of the knife by the doctor, and he went back home rejoicing.The above we learned from the proprietor of the Hotel where the man boarded and towhom his story was told. Our doctors here are generally too busy to give us an interestingitem like the foregoing for publication and it would have been of more value to ourreaders if the doctor had taken the trouble to give an exact description of the case.We learn that Dr. MAGER will soon establish an infirmary, for patients coming froma distance, because Hotel keepers do not like to lodge invalids at their houses,some of whom for the want of proper quarters would not remain here to be treated.

On the morning of March 31st, Mrs. H. MOOERS, died in St. Louis, and on April 3dthe funeral service occurred in the Presbyterian church, Green Bay, of which thedeceased had long been a member, the remains were deposited in Woodlawn cemetery.

Some of the old settlers of this county will undoubtedly remember Col. MOOERS, whorepresented Milwaukee and old Washington county in part, in the House of Representativesin the Territorial Legislature of 1845, and 46 being one of the six members fromsaid counties, then elected by general ticket. When Sheboygan and Washington countiesformed one representative district, he was again elected in the fall of 1847 (unreadable),having been elected in the fall of 1846; but Col.

MOOERS then resided, having beenappointed by Judge MILLER of the U.S. District Curt, clerk of the court. The Col.was elected to the first Assembly under the new State Government in 1848 representingthen the towns of Grafton, Cedarburg and Jackson. Being a particular friend of Gov.DODGE, then in the Senate, President PIERCE appointed him Register of the land officeat Menasha and we lost sight of him after his removal to Green Bay where he diedin 1863.

The Col. was the son of Gen. MOOERS who distinguished himself at the battle of Plattsburgagainst the British, while commanding the militia of the State of New York.

Mrs. MOOERS was but a few years younger than her husband whom she survived twenty-oneyears, being over 90 years of age at the time of her death. Three children surviveher, one of them, a son, Hazen MOOERS lives in Milwaukee.

The Port Washington Advertiser says that:

“Ozaukee county having six more than its quota of insane persons at the insane asylumat Oshkosh, that number will be returned to the county to-morrow. The selection wasmade by Mayor SHWIN, and the following are the names of those to be returned: PeterKUHN, J. CLOSE, Bernard KENTZ, Anna GEIMER, Mrs. LUCKIAN, and Mrs. THIERMAN. PeterKUHN will be cared for by relatives in this city, the remaining five will be takento the poor house at Saukville for the present. Sheriff SPEHN and wife, under SheriffDELLES and deputy James HEDDING Jr. left yesterday to bring them back.

Every large County in the State has built, or is about to build its own asylum, butthis County is too small to go into the expense. How would it do if an arrangementcould be made with Washington County, to have such institution erected at or nearthe Washington County poor farm in the Town of Jackson?

The expense of erecting a building and furnishing the same to be on the basis ofpopulation and the running expenses etc. divided according to the number of inmatesfrom each county. If this plan is feasible, let some one of County board take thematter in hand and bring it before them; it is too bad to have those unfortunatebeings put in jail or in the poor house.
