SAUKVILLE
(From our correspondent)

Mr. Mat. ROOS attended the funeral of his aunt in New Berlin last Saturday.

Mask balls will be held in Saukville, at Nick WILSON’s on Thursday Feb. 2nd and Jos.ALBRECHT’s on Saturday Feb. 11th.

Mr. E. L. EASTMANN has just returned from a trip to Milwaukee, and will shortly leavefor the home of his mother in Plymouth, where he will stay for the winter.

Mr. Anthony AHLHAUSER has almost entirely recovered from injuries received by a severefall on a slippery sidewalk recently. He is around again attending to his usual dutiesas postmaster.

The failure of the Ozaukee County Bank is a hard blow to Saukville. Most of our businessmen and many others have left money there for safe-keeping. The crash was a surpriseto every one, as it was the general belief that the institution was on a sound financialfooting.

The prominent figure of our old time friend “amateur” will not be seen on our streetsfor some time to come, as we understand he will travel extensively in this stateand Minnesota. His absence will be sorely felt by the young people of Saukville andthe immediate neighborhood; and more so by the STAR for which he was a regular correspondent.His writings were of so toughing a nature that it has won him many ardent admirers.In referring back to some of his articles of a recent date, one can clearly see theingenuity he posses in ridiculing particular persons, and in bringing before thepublic such news as will interest only those who are intimately acquainted with him.We trust that he will capture the “missing link” on his tour, and bring with him,upon his return next spring, on “the 6:45 train,” his victim, and also “chin whiskers”for which he has sought so long in vain.
