~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The announcement that there were two old maids from Cedarburg on exhibition at theMilwaukee Dime Museum is a sensational story, calculated to do great injustice notonly to this city but to the two or three very modest young women who are calledold maids by younger girls out of spite. We have no old maids here as far as we know,and if we had, they would be too modest to exhibit themselves for money in public.Our youngest daughter went down last week to investigate the matter, but could notfind any old maid from Cedarburg. An action will probably be commenced by the cityagainst Mr. LITT for obtaining money (admission fee) under false pretenses or forinjuring the reputation of this city, as the common council at its next meeting maydecide.

CELEBRATION OF THE FIRST QUARTERLY MEETING OF THE MUSIC SOCIETY

It was a good move that the Music Society made in inaugurating the socials in connectionwith its quarterly meetings. Long before the opening hour, the members of the societywere seen flocking to the hall with their families in anticipation of a pleasantevening. And a merry crowd it was that assembled there, willing to entertain andto be entertained. All felt that they were here united as members of a large societywhose high object it is to cherish, foster and give substantial aid to the cultivationof the noble art of Music. The business meeting was opened in due time and over fortynew members entered into the books; so that the society now numbers 101 paying members;and still there is room for more to come in. Let them not stay out any longer!

The proceedings of the meeting in the basement were effectually stopped by the bandstriking up a fortissimo concert piece upstairs; the wind of the secretary in readinga document to the meeting, not being sufficient to stand the test against 30 instruments.So the meeting was informally adjourned and unbounded mirth and hilarity became theorder of the evening. The usual Grand Polonaise, headed by the maitre de plaisirpar excellence, Mr. D. WITTENBERG, must have had some new many features in it, asit was observed that some of the participants entirely got lost in the performancethereof, causing audible amusement among the spectators.

Dancing interspersed with singing was kept up until exactly 12 o'clock the time agreedupon for a close. We hear that the expenses of the occasion were covered satisfactorilyby free contributions from those present.
In regard to one point, however, we should like to venture a little advice to thecommittee of arrangements. In the future, all concert music, singing, declamations,etc. should come off before dancing and general merry-making begins; for such entertainmentswill be better appreciated, if rendered before an audience that is yet uninfluencedby the enthusiasm, awakened by Terpsichore, Bacchus, or Gambrinus.

THE HORSE THIEF CAUGHT

We learn that the thief who stole the four horses, harness and lumber wagon fromMr. Ernst SCHNEIDER at Freistadt, has been arrested in Milwaukee by detectives HANNANNand LAUBENHEIMER in his attempt to sell a horse that he had secured in a trade inRacine county for one of the stolen horses. The fellows name is WEDEN, a former employeeof Mr. SCHNEIDER, who knew all abut the premises. Mr. SCHNEIDER while getting handbills printed at the office, which led to the finding of the horses, told us thatthe thief could be no other man than WEDEN, because the taking along a supply ofoats and putting it in bags, the knowledge where both were stored etc., togetherwith the suspicion he had lately entertained of the man being dishonest, pointedhim out as the guilty man. Mr. SCHNEIDER was not mistaken in the man, who will bebrought up here soon by Deputy Sheriff GOTTSCHALK of this city who has also beenon the track after the thief in Waukesha County where he was seen by a travelingagent. We (unreadable section) an accomplice but on going to press we cannot givefurther particulars and whether his “pal” has been caught also. WEDEN must be a foolof the first magnitude, he had plenty of time to go further south, and the only smartthing he did was when starting from Mr. SCHNEIDER's farm in a northerly directionthrough this city, so as to mislead their pursuers, the track of the wheels of thelumber wagon being plainly marked on the frosted roads turning into the Cedarburgplank road at KURTZ's It appears that WEDEN must have turned west at HALPIN's cornertwo miles north-west of here and again south into Waukesha and Racine counties. Ifhe had gone on straight to Chicago, it is quite certain that he would have escapeddetection. Wonder if another defense of insanity on that account will be in orderat the trial in Port Washington, as was the case with the murderer GUIDEINGER, whocould have been brought before Judge EGHART on the day of his arrest, when he pleadedguilty, and sentenced at once to serve during life at Waupun.

This county is small - very small - but big bills are the order of the day on suchoccasion. As one of the County board we were disgusted with them, but what can wedone as the chairman of the committee, Mr. JAHN, asked us. Now this horse thief hasno defense, he will, if let alone, plead guilty at once, and Judge EGHART will sendhim off. Will not some Port Washington Attorney in the interest of the tax-payersof this county see to it, so that a five hundred or a thousand dollar tax by avoided.There is one lucky thing in favor of the county, and that is the fellow's impecuniosity!Nothing can be got out of him, so that justice will probably be meted out, withoutswinging around the circle, which item we will include as one of the numerous blessingsto be remembered to-morrow while eating the side bone of our thanksgiving turkey- if some good man or woman will present us with one.

P.S. Dep. Sheriff GOTTSCHALK has just passed our office with the culprit, puttinghim in our city jail over night.
