The other day a truck-man had the misfortune to drop a case of eggs from the backof his wagon. The train went off without the eggs, and he viewed their remains veryruefully.

The heavy rain-showers of the past week generally beneficial, though some fear thattheir violence may have damaged more advanced crops.

The bock-beer on tap at the saloons the beginning of this week, proved to be a verypotent portion to a good many, whose storm-beaten appearance attested to their imbibingqualities.

BOERNER Bros. are removing this week from their present place to the old-mill store,and will be in position at the end of this week.

Mr. Wm. ENGBRING found a rain-coat the over day which can be recovered by callingat his house and paying for this notice.

The four cars that made up the excursion train to Elkhart Lake last Sunday were crowdedwith passengers. About (unreadable word) mostly former residents of this city, tookthe first opportunity to make a short call at their homes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The opening of the Park found few persons in attendance in the afternoon. Rain dampenedthe spirit of merrymaking. the band gave a fine concert in the hall. In the evening,however, a large number took part in the dance, and it was a complete success.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One day last week a commercial traveler, stopping at Horn’s Corners, forgot to tiehis horse. The animal, which belonged to a livery of this city, started off aloneon its way home, leaving the drummer, minus his traps, to wend his way back at leisure.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
J. LUDTKE & Son have just received a new and complete supply of buggy materialswhich they are prepared to dispose of at low rates. The goods are in first classorder and those in need of articles in that line will do well to apply there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One day last week a load of lime, fresh from the kilns, was hauled through the cityfor a farmer living some miles north of this place. The wagon-box full of loose limewas covered by some more of the same article filled into bags. While still in theoutskirts of the city, the lime began to burn, probably from the action of the moistair and the high wind that was blowing at the time. The bags caught fire and thestuff soon became a glowing mass that it was all the driver could do to save thewagon by (unreadable line). He was nearly blinded and his face and hands were painfullyburned with the heated dust blown up by the wind. The lime was to have been usedfor killing thistles and other weeds.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A daughter of W. LIESENBERG, while at work in the worsted department of CedarburgWoolen Mills last Friday had her left hand caught in one of the machines. Two fingerswere cut off and the arm was saved by mere chance. The machine at which the accidentoccurred was one of the most approved English make, and was well provided with guards,so that the unfortunate mishap was clearly the result of carelessness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That was a rather incongruous combination of horse and ride that passed through ourstreets last Friday morning. The animal appeared to have escaped from a charnel house,and drooped its wasted head in a spiritless manner. The rider was decked in plumeand roses like a gay cavalier of old and squared himself as if proud of his brillianthorsemanship. The Bell of Atri could have been rung for the gallant steed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The soul-stirring music of the organ-grinder has again been heard here. The operatorwas a woebegone mortal of no distinctive nationality whose appearance was calculatedto draw out a few pennies in connection with the request to pass on. He cleared outa hotel room with his sweet strains, but was rewarded with a meal for his hardihoodbefore the music had done much damage.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We had the pleasure of a visit from the Rev. Mr. ERNEST and Mr. PORS of Port Washington,who came to our city in the interest of the performance of Haydn’s Creation. PastorERNEST is the soul of the whole undertaking and is quite enthusiastic over it. Wehave no doubt from what he told us that the difficult undertaking will prove a successin every respect.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The monthly fair of last Monday was the largest we have had this year. the streetswere crowded all day long, and for part of the time passage was almost completelystopped on the road way. The usual number of cattle was offered for sale, but thedealings in horses were large, a number of fine animals changing hands. A certainstranger made a great deal of noise about his method of training horses, and gavesome sort of exhibition in the afternoon. We doubt whether his performance developedanything useful. The stores had a correspondingly large run of business.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HAYDN’s CREATION
There will be quite a treat for our neighboring city of Port Washington on the eveningof the 18th of June next. HAYDN’s CREATION is to be given on that day by the besttalent that could be got together under the leadership of the musical director Mr.CATENHUSEN of Milwaukee. The solo parties will be sung by celebrated singers andno expense has been spared by the managers to make this a complete success. The handbills are being distributed throughout the county, but a change of prices has beenmade from those as published on the bills. the uniform price of admission for adultsbeing one dollar, and for younger people of fifteen years or under fifty cents. Wehope that there will be a full turnout from this section of the county, as such opportunityto listen to one of the greatest composition of Haydn may not occur again for yearsin this neighborhood. More in our next number. Our musical director Mr. A. WEBERhere, has been kind enough to see to the distribution of the tickets of admission.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mr. PORS, district attorney of the county, while here expressed himself very muchannoyed by the charge (unreadable words) that the putting over of the DEEGAN trialin Sheboygan was his fault, when just the contrary was the case. The defence broughtsuch a case by affidavit before Judge GILSON, that notwithstanding the oppositionof the prosecution, the case had to go over. It was chiefly on account of the failureof a celebrated physician from Chicago to attend the trial who had been duly summonedto give his testimony as an expert of insanity cases, the plea of insanity havingbeen put in as a defence of the killing of his victim. This is all fudge and onlycalculated to mislead a jury. We will say without the fear of a successful contradictionthat three or four of DEEGAN’s neighbors, who have known him for years will be betterwitnesses than all the doctors in the country as to his insanity, which we understandconsisted in getting occasionally too much rot-gut into him and that he had someof it on board when he fired the fatal shot. Mr. TURNER who is one of the attorneysfor the defence will readily admit that the putting over of the trial was certainlynot the fault of Mr. PORS and he ought not to be blamed for causing this additionalexpense to the county. That the attorneys for the defence seek to clear their clientby all possible squibs and means which the law will allow is excusable and no oneought to blame them as long as their client has money to pay for it.
