A teachers meeting was held at our school house last Saturday and a number of outsideteachers attended, though the weather was unfavorable.

The monthly meeting of the Fire Company was held last Friday evening. J. C. KUHEFUSSJr. was elected trustee for the unexpired tern of R. PFLEGER, resigned. Two new memberswere admitted. New members are joining at every meeting and this city will soon havea company they surely can feel proud of.

We are informed by Dr. Wm. HENKELL that a sickness has been raging among some farmers’horses in the town of Grafton, and which the Dr. claims to be some sort of diphtheria.The horse when taken sick, will die in less than twenty-four hours. Those havingonly a slight attack have been cured, but among Mr. D.

During our stay at Port Washington attending the meeting of the board of County Supervisors,of which body the Mayor of Cedarburg is a member, we had occasion to call regularlyat the establishment of our old acquaintance and friend John NEUENS, to strengthenthe inner man. John has a sample room and is doing also a wholesome business in allkinds of wines and liquors. We believe that this is now the oldest business of thekind in the city and the proprietor has kept up his reputation as an honest dealerfrom the very beginning and whereby he has gained such success. His “forester” whiskeyis the non plus ultra of a wholesome drink at the proper time, while other good brandscan also be had. We advise all readers of the NEWS to call at Mr. NEUEN’s while visitingPort Washington whenever they may stand in need of a wholesome drink or wish to purchasewines or liquors at wholesale prices, which are as low as in the largest Milwaukeeestablishments.

Hundreds ofrods of drains of Mr. M. making have been laid by enterprising farmers on land, thatcould hardly be cultivated without them and which would have been worthless otherwise.Among those, Messrs.

SAUKVILLE
(From our correspondent)

Mr. M. J. MOONEY of the Milwaukee police force was visiting his brother-in-law, Mr.Jno. GOUGH last week.

Mr. Joe NEISEN is seriously ill.

Mr. Wm. BELITZ, our local station agt, spent Christmas with his parents and friendsin Kiel.

Mr. A. ARNOLD of this place, who was making wooden shoes for a number of years, willstart the New Year in the manufacture of leaf tobacco.

Mat. ROOS, our popular cigarmaker, has purchased the STOPPER residence and will convertit into a cigar shop.

It is said that a millinery shop will be opened in Saukville by a young lady fromPort Washington who is well known to some of our Saukville people.

The St. Finbar T. and L. Society will give a dance at their hall on Dec. 31. Themanagers will do their best to accommodate strangers and we trust that those in attendancewill kindly remember that it is a temperance dance, and will not supply themselvesfrom a jug behind some fence corner.

The cheese factory was closed last week. This season was the most prosperous thefactory ever had.

The pupils of the Saukville public school were treated to a Christmas tree by theirteacher.

Of late there has been a good deal of rowdyism in Saukville so that the place hasalready acquired the reputation of being the roughest in the county. The people ofSaukville are naturally incensed over this because whatever disturbances take placein the village are generally made by outsiders. It seems that certain “young men”of neighboring places, fearing the strength of the law near their own homes, cometo Saukville to sport their rowdyish propensities, knowing that our people have notenough force to put them down. it is to be hoped that this will not continue muchlonger, and that the people of Saukville will not be further misjudged on accountof the actions of rowdies from the outside.
