It happens now that Mr. PORS himself earned the reward, having found thepackage under his safe in the office. As good luck would have it, he has no hairto turn gray for what there is of it has done so of its own accord. But we wouldnot for ten times the amount have felt as bad as Mr. PORS must have done during thetime that he waited for the honest finder to turn up.

Mr. John FECHTER returned to Milwaukee last Monday to attend college.

Miss Katie BACH of Milwaukee was home last Sunday.

Messers. ENGLEHARDT and HILGER of Thienville were in town last Monday and were welcomecallers at the NEWS office.

Not a single farmer was seen on our streets last Thursday and Friday, owing to theintense cold weather and of the blockade of the roads.

We hear with much regret that the wife of Mr. Carl SCHMIDT of Mequon, after givingbirth to twins last week, died soon after. It was hoped that the two little onescould be kept alive, but they soon followed their mother. Mr. SCHMIDT formerly keptthe toll gate on the plank road and moved last year to a small farm about half milesouth of the Toll gate.

A grand prize Masquerade Ball will be held at the large Hall of Hilgen Bro's on theevening of Feb. 16th. The senior partner, Mr. Fred. HILGEN, intends to celebratehis birth day which falls on the same day, and if he cannot afford to have everything free on that day, he will at least furnish the best music and choicest eatables,wine and beer at the usual low prices. Every one should turn out on this occasion

We learn from good authority that a large drug store will be started in this placeabout the first of next month to supply a long felt want of Cedarburg and vicinity.Port Washington with about the same number of inhabitants has two very well stockedstores of that kind, with the lake on one side of the city, while we here in theheart of the country have so far only two small apothecary shops, neither of themfigure on the assessment role as containing more than about a hundred dollars worthof medicines, etc. There is perhaps not a place of the size of Cedarburg in thisstate, where as good an opening for an enterprising and good druggist offers itself.

We learn that it is in contemplation to organize a Musical Society to take the placeof the Turners and purchase the Hall from them. For years nothing worth speakingof has been done to train and organize the young men as Turners, and the change willbe all the better, because it will secure to Cedarburg the services of the leaderof the present Music Band, Mr. WEBER, and the best of music as organized so far.

At a meeting held in this place on the 6th inst. pursuant to a call in last week'sNEWS, a branch of the Irish National League was duly organized. Fifty members wereenrolled, who elected as their officers: Wm. FITZGERALD, President; C.F. KENNEY,Secretary; Jeremiah O'BRIEN, Treasurer; S.S. LEONARD, Collector. The twofold objectof the organization, published in circular form by the State Council - viz the advancementof Ireland's cause, and the cultivation of feelings of unity and fraternity - wasread by the President, to which was accorded the unanimous adhesion of all present.

PORT WASHINGTON
Mr. E.R. BLAKE seeing close times ahead has dispensed with the services of Mr. Chas.BISH and Mr. John JACQUE, two of his best and highest salaried men. Mr. BISH andMr. JACQUE are both sober industrious young men, and as both have some money, wewould not be surprised to hear of them starting some kind of business in the city,we are sure they would succeed in most anything they might undertake.

There was a rumor of which reached us in the latter part of last summer, that Mr.BLAKE intended to move to Chicago as a better field for his large capital and greatbusiness qualifications than Port Washington offered. The above seems to confirmthat rumor and that he intends gradually to close up his business. We should be verysorry to lose him, as we had to chose another Senator for this County, in which capacityhe has done very nearly as well as his predecessor Mr. MORGAN, which is saying agood deal, considering that the latter had a legislative experience of four or fiveterms. If Mr. BLAKE should really leave us, Mr. MORGAN will have to brush up againand take a casual glance at the blue book, as he is just the man to represent themajority of the people of this County.

The proprietors of the Cedarburg plank road ought to call a meeting for the purposeof voting a leather medal to Charley GOTTSCHALK for the splendid work he did on thesmall bridge between Thiensville and Mequon and at the same time appoint him as generalbridge inspector. The job he did on that bridge is something that any man could feelproud of. Charley made a great mistake in not going into the building and repairingbusiness instead of the livery. Parties that have to pass over the bridge severaltimes a day will no doubt put in a good word for him and we, having passed over thatbridge last Sunday, think that he is justly entitled to the medal.
