Herman SCHELLENBERG will have a mask ball on Sunday, the day after the Turner's masquerade.Considering that for some time no opportunity has offered for spending a lively timethere, the ball will doubtless prove a success.

DIED -- At Milwaukee last Monday morning, Math. DALEY. He left for the former cityabout two weeks ago to try medical treatment; but it did not avail him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The masquerade ball at the Springs on the 19th will be a very pretentious affair.The Hilgen Bros. have gone to considerable expense to secure thorough enjoyment andcomfort for all guests. Their fine large hall will be made as pleasant a place fora ball in winter as it has always been in summer.

A WORD TO THE WISE
The attention of our readers is especially called to the advertisement on anotherpage, of the cheap lands in Minnesota and Dakota, that are now being offered forsale by the Chicago & Northwestern Railway Comp. The ad speaks for itself. Itis undoubtedly a fact and one of much importance to all interested, and this willbe “the last chance” that will be offered to the public to procure these lands atpresent low prices, as we are informed that they are increasing in value rapidly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It would be positive disloyalty to forget the mask and ball next Saturday. The affairhas been a grand one every year; but this year, in which the Verein celebrates itsquarter-centennial, it will prove superb, the fates and weather being propitious.The procession in the afternoon will be swelled with incongruities and extravagances,to which everyone will be welcome to make an addition. The evening masquerade willbe enlivened by numerous comic performances, some of which will remind us of thegood old days gone by. Let all be present.

The Turner's masquerade last Saturday figured as a grand success. The day was a littledark and gloomy, with an occasional misty rain; but this did not hinder the processionfrom more than equaling that of last year, nor did it at all curtail the eveningattendance. The principal features of the procession were a bakery on wheels, f fireengine, and a wagon of performing animals; these were accompanied by numerous otherturn-outs of an extravagant character, and were led through the streets by WEBER'sBand. The masks at the ball were very numerous and were made up of a great variety.Several performances, revivals of past days, were produced with credit by the Vereinand others. About midnight the lottery prizes were drawn, occasioning much amusement.The dance was kept up long, and was so thoroughly enjoyed, that even at a very latehour, the floor was well filled with dancers. Financially the ball was very successful,the receipts having been about equal to those of last year, but the expenses considerablyless.
