We have splendid weather here for the season of the year. It threatened several timesfor the last five or six weeks with cold weather or a snow storm, but against allexpectations, the sky was clear again in the morning or the weather cleared off duringthe day after a feeble attempt of winter setting in. The weather clerk in Washingtonis out of the way very often with his calculations, and since old "weather MEYER"as he was called when at the head of the bureau in Washingt'n died, no great dependencecan be placed upon the predictions and calculations of his successors, they remindus of the Canada prophet WIGGINS.

CARD OF THANKS

We learn with much regret of the death of the widow, Mrs. CARBYS, the mother of ourold friend William CARBYS of Thiensville, who died at the residence of her son aweek ago last Saturday at the ripe old age of 88 yrs. It is only a few weeks agothat we had the pleasure of seeing her in good health, considering her great age,at her residence and had as usual when meeting her, a chat of old times. Her memorywas a sound as ever and it was a real pleasure to converse with the old lady whohad resided so long among us. Peace to her ashes.
~~~~~~~~~
PASTOR DIEDRICHSEN
Died at his residence in Milwaukee last week, Pastor A. DIEDRICHSEN at the age of81 years and seven months.

The deceased was one of the first German preachers who came out here regularly fromMilwaukee as a preacher of the gospel and there are quite a number of old settlerswho will remember him as far back as the year 1846, when he arrived from Schleswig-Holsteinwhere he had been a professor at some religious college. In his vocation, he wasindefatigable and it did not matter how bad the weather or the roads were, PastorDIEDRICHSEN was always on hand at the appointed time for religious services or thebaptism of children.

Soon after he married one of the daughters of the late Mr. KOOPMAN, who used to residenear Thiensville, after the death of his first wife, he was again married to a sisterof his deceased wife. In old times, Pastor DIEDRICHSEN was quite a familiar figurehereabout as he was in Milwaukee in later years, where we often met him.
~~~~~~~~~
PROGRESS OF MUSIC
It is a well known fact that the Cedarburg band has for sometime consisted of only8 or 10 pieces, from a former membership of twenty-five. Judging from this, it isevident that an entire "breaking up" would eventually be the result, ifno effective steps had been taken to prevent such an unwished for finale. It affordsus great pleasure, however, to be able to state now, that we shall, in the near future,have an excellent band of music. An entire new orchester, consisting of fifteen members,have been formed and the instructions have already begun. This band will, of course,have separate rehearsals during the winter, and it is hoped that every member willavail himself of this opportunity and diligently practice on his respective instrumentduring leisure moments and, thus, aid in promoting musical progress. By next summer,this band is expected to join the present one, all clothed in suitable uniforms andby persistent perseverance of the participants, we can promise to our music lovingcommunity such music as may be enjoyed by all. It is Prof. G. FISCHER's earnest desireto furnish us with good music, and it is, therefore, well worthy of every good citizen'ssupport.

SAUKVILLE
Mr. SCHAAR lately employed at the cheese and butter factory, left this burg to gointo business at his home in Kiel, Manitowoc county. Mr. SCHAAR is a fine young manand we feel sorry to lose a good citizen as he is.

Mr. BELITZ, our depot and telegraph agent, is busy day and night. He has two studentswith him to learn the art of telegraphing.

About a week ago, some boys threw in a window with stones in one of our public places.This comes when parents allow their children (from 12 to 15 years old) to be outat night till 10 and 11 o'clock p.m., standing around the corners, using bad languageand doing other mischief. It is not enough to send children to school and Sundaysto church. Parents must look after them and have some discipline at their home. Suchparents, neglecting their children, will soon learn the consequences. It is alsovery wrong for saloon keepers to give children from 8 to 14 years old, liquor todrink. Such saloon keeper only cares to get five cents. Their license should be takenaway. They will be the cause of high license.

Last Tuesday night a few young men created some disturbance in a saloon, and in consequence,they had to pay $23 the next day.

Boys bring out your skates and enjoy the beautiful sport of skating.

Until further notice, the service in the M. E. church will be held twice on Sundays.In the morning at 7:30 and in the evening at 7 o'clock. A week from next Sunday,the pastor will discuss the interesting subject "Are the Planets Inhabited."

On Christmas Eve, the young folks will have an informal entertainment in the M. E.church. There will be an Xmas tree and everything will be done to make it an enjoyabletime. Everybody is cordially invited.

H. THIERMANN's displays a very fine assortment of Christmas goods.

The jolly days of Christmas are approaching, but at the same time, the odious tax-collectormakes his appearance.

Mr. And. SCHROEDER, a building contractor of Chilton, is visiting at Mr. H. MOHRUSEN'sat Thiensvile.

The rainy weather may prove a blessing to the farmers living near the lake shore,where by the severe draught during this fall the wells were mostly dried up. Thefarmers were obliged to haul the water for several miles.

P. J. KROEHNKE and company, the millers, are doing a flourishing business. By promptand reliable work and fair dealings, they have re-gained the trade which the millenjoyed during its best years.

Honesty has not yet died out. Last week, a farmer of this town found a pocket-bookcontaining one hundred dollars in cash. He promptly brought the same to H. THIERMANN'sstore, from whence it was returned to the owner.

A grand ball is announced at SIMON's in Thiensville, on second Christmas day andone at FUCH's in Mequon, on Sylvester eve. A good time is expected at both places,and all should attend and enjoy.

Taxes this year are exceptionally high this year. The leading citizens of this townare very indignant at the action of the County board, in regard to the raising ofthe assessed valuation of the town, and that, too, at the time when the deficiencyin the County treasury has to be paid up. They say that the price of valuable timberland,sold last year in this town should not be taken as the average value of the land. They call it an evident injustice, and say, that, without doubt, the people of thistown, will at the next annual meeting, resolve to take legal steps to appeal in thematter.

SAUKVILLE
Mrs. BINS, the wife of J. BINS, died last week and was interred at the Catholic cemetery.

New rollers were put in at our flouring mills and Mr. LEU, the proprietor, furnishesnow excellent flour to his customers.

Dennis McCARTHY, being badly hurt two weeks ago by being thrown out of his buggy,is out of danger and able to be around again.

Our amiable depot agent went to Chicago to see his parents and bid them farewell. They are moving to Lower California.

Storekeepers are complaining on account of slow sales of their Christmas goods, clothing,etc. The good, fine and warm weather is the cause of it.

In your last week's issue, I stated that Jack O'HARE was arrested. The complainttaken out against Jack was for being disorderly and drunk. Justice HEDDING finedJack $1 and costs. The costs amount to about $21, not including the witness feeson Jack O'HARE's part. Lucky for our county, a friend of Jack paid the amount orelse Jack had to go to the county cooler and the county would be the loser of about$50. I am not much acquainted with Jack O'HARE, but so far as our acquaintance goes,it would be very difficult for me to tell if Jack is drunk or sober, when he deliversone of his philosophical speeches. It is not more than right for any officer tosee that the peace is kept and have the offenders arrested, but to arrest everybodywho talks nonsense is rather too much of a good thing, and I am afraid if this rulewould be enforced, that men in high positions (even deputy sheriffs) might get in the same fix.

The supervisors of our town are to offer a reward for the discovery of the personor persons who have been damaging their sidewalks by breaking loose the planks, etc. This has been generally done every Sunday night, especially on the sidewalk towardsthe depot by throwing the planks into the road. This makes it very dangerous totravelers at night time and in case some person should get hurt, it is very likelythe town would be responsible for the damages sustained. If the rascals keep ondoing such mean work without being found out, it will be better for the supervisorsto take up the sidewalk entirely.
