The Sunday excursion train from Milwaukee contained five passenger coaches, prettywell filled. About sixty persons stepped out here to visit friends and enjoy themselvesat the picnic (unreadable). The weather was warm and at one time a shower was threateningbut the rainstorm commenced long after out guests had left for home.

CASPAR MAYER, DEAD--The many friends of Caspar MAYER will learn with regret, thathe died at his home in Madison on Sunday night last. He was an early settler of Milwaukee,but moved to Madison some thirty years ago. A painful disease ended his life toosoon, he being only 60 years of age.

When we were last at Madison at the State Convention, we learned the hopelessnessof his recovery from his son and were therefore prepared to hear of the death ofone of our earliest friends. We shall miss him sadly if we should visit Madison again.May he rest in peace.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LOOK TO OUR BRIDGES--The supervisors of this town should see without delay to thecondition of several bridges in this town and especially as regards the bridges inthis village at SCHROEDER & TROTTMANN's mill and at the Plaining Mill.

Both may come down at any time and a loss of life perhaps, may be the consequence.Mr. LIESENBERG told us that five years ago, while he was supervisor, the stringersof the former bridge were already rotten and the whole bottom may drop into the creekwhenever a heavy load passes over. If the supervisors do not heed this timely warningthey will be held responsible for the heavy damages the town will probably have topay very soon. At the Hilgen Manufactory, the bridge should at once be built of stone.One span of sixteen or eighteen feet is enough to let all the water through fromthe tall race and the approaches can be filled up with stone and gravel at but littlecost. It seems that such neglect from our country supervisors will soon determinethe people of the village to have a government of their own. These two bridges mustbe seen to at once, we repeat the warning!

Our quiet and orderly village was thrown into an excitement last week by an exhibitionof rowdyism of three young men, names Wm. KENNEDY, Carl HARTWIG and Richard BYRNSand their subsequent examination and trial before Esqr. VOGENITZ.

It appears that these men had been present at a picnic of Mr. Claus MEYER eight daysago last Sunday and intended to commence a row among the guests assembled by grosslyinsulting Mr. (unreadable) a quick tempered man had thereupon struck one of the assailants.Finding that they would be overpowered, they left with threats of vengeance and afew days after finding Mr. MEYER alone, all three threw themselves upon him and beathim most unmercifully besides demolishing the furniture in the (unreadable) broughtsome people to the rescue, but when the door was opened to let them in, they werethreatened with a drawn revolver by KENNEDY and upon their retiring were shot byhim without however hitting any one. Thereupon the fellows left but were soon arrested;the district attorney Mr. HEDDING, appeared, and the result was that KENNEDY wassentenced to 3 months imprisonment in the county jail for going armed with a revolverwhile in a state of intoxication, and all three were bound over in the sum of $250each, to appear before the circuit court, on the charge of a felonious assault withintent to commit great bodily harm. We understand that one or two of them will hardlyobtain bail to await their trial.

Just at present an interestingcase for cheesemen and dairy farmers is the universal topic of discussion. A farmerliving south of this village has been accused of removing cream from the milk hedelivers to the factory. As I understand it, this is claimed to be a criminal act,and a criminal prosecution will be the result. Will let you know what the terminationwill be.

Mr. FREDRICH is now running three cheese factories in company with Mr. WITT, andall of them are doing well.

All through this section small grain and fruit are in the finest condition. In factI never saw winter grain look so well.

An epidemic of measles is now running its course in Farmington, and we will not haveto wait long for its appearance here. We had one isolated case of small pox the latterpart of May.

On Saturday morning Mr. John LOUREGAN of Sec. 32 was presented with a fine boy, motherand child doing well.
