SAUKVILLE
You complain that I do not send my correspondence regular every week to The NEWS.This is very easy to say, but what news shall I send when there is nothing to reportin reality? Shall I state that farmer A. B. moved his barn or that he put a new foundationunder it? Who cares in Cedarburg or vicinity about such news? It is really sickeningto read in some papers such locals and nothing else which is not interesting at all.It is all right for a correspondent to give all the local news, which are of someinterest in the vicinity, but after all the intelligent reader will look more forsome editorials (as you have them in your paper) even if some should not correspondwith his own politics or ideas. Another point for a correspondent is: Shall he tellthe real truth of all matters going on in his neighborhood? He could not do so withoutmaking enemies in his neighborhood, and you as publisher of the paper would losesubscribers unless you struck out such items. I could have written to you some interestingnews, but no, it would not have been agreeable. Supposing I had written you thatthe wife of N. N. left him. The consequence perhaps would be, the husband will gofor your paper and your correspondent claiming that it is neither your nor my businessto publish his family affairs! If I could state that we have so many carp (fish)in our river that a fellow with a large net can get over one hundred in a haul, yourreaders would call it a big fish story, although it is an actual fact. Now what shalla poor correspondent do in case there are no interesting news except such as I alludedto before? Can a man by a 100 degrees in the shade invent anything to please yourreaders?

A couple of daysago the professor, horse, harness and cart, which he also borrowed, went to partsunknown. Vivat sequens.

Last Sunday a great festivity was held at the Catholic church in this village; alarge number of children went to the first communion. Rev. MAYER delivered on thisoccasion a very good sermon to the children.

Our cheese factory has an income of about 9,000 pounds of milk per day. You may bethat this keeps Mr. EASTMAN very busy.

THE MILWAUKEE & NORTHERN R. R.
No one outside of the inner circles seems to know why the Wisconsin Central did notpurchase the Milwaukee & Northern Railroad. The option ran out some days ago.One thing is pretty certain, that road will not be permitted to go unbought a greatwhile, if it is for sale. The St. Paul would like it; unquestionably the WisconsinCentral would like it, but there is another road that would like it, and if the St.Paul and the Wisconsin Central do not take advantage of it during the next six months,we predict that the Canadian pacific and South Shore companies will purchase it.What would please Milwaukee as well as anything relative to the matter is for itto remain in the hands it is now in. The road is well equipped, splendidly officered,admirably managed. - Sunday Telegraph

THE SHOW OF ALL NEW FEATURES
This may with Puritan precision be said of the Ringling Brothers United Monster RailroadCircus, Museum and Menagerie, the enormous institution which exhibits at Cedarburg,Saturday, August 2nd. With regard to detail may it also be observed that this greatshow possesses more actual great features than any other of the few big railroadshows. Among the lists of their circus and hippodrome artists we find the names ofthe most celebrated riders, gymnasts, acrobats, aerialists, charioteers, etc. amongthem Mlle. Julia LOWANDO, the world famous Brazilian lady rider; Edward SHIPP, thegreat four and six horse equestrian; La ROLE Bros., the flying men of the air; AndrewGAFFNEY, "the old oak." The ASHTONS, the Japanese performers; the Arabhorsemen and scores of others. The great Double Menagerie we find wonderfully complete,in fact a perfect innovation to all lovers of natural history. The monster Hippopotamus,the amphibious Bovolapsus; the only genuine African Zebras; the Umbrella-eared elephant,the baby elephant, the clown elephant, the giant elephant, Babylon, besides the enormouscollections of other caged and uncaged animals, constitute a zoological collectionthat can not be equaled by any other management and in which the managers seem tohave actually outringlinged the Ringlings. When we take into consideration the greatWorld's Horse fair, the wonderful museums, the troupes of not least, the great, glorious,free street parade, it must be confessed that Saturday, Aug. 2nd will be the greatestholiday event that Cedarburg will have for many years to come or until the greatRingling show again spends a day among us.

A SUCCESSFUL SHOW
Rom the Prairie du Chien Courier:

The model Menagerie and Modern Circus of Ringling Brothers exhibited at Prairie duChien to paying audiences afternoon and evening of July 23rd. The proprietors ofthis magnificent outfit began to show business when mere boys in this city. Theirfirst venture was in a little tent on a vacant lot in the second ward of this city.They were natural athletes, had a trained horse, an educated pig, and a few similarattractions. Their entire outfit could be carried on one lumber wagon. The persevered,continued to add to their stock of horses and actors, and steadily kept on the road,and increased in importance. When the Inter State Railroad Law forced most of thegreat Railroad Shows to succumb, the Ringling Bros. secured many valuable additionsin the way of canvass, cages, choice menagerie animals, and kept right along withtheir wagon show, and the brother have attended closely to their own business andhave prospered accordingly. They now have an orderly, clean, first-class show. Thereis no attempt at padding by adding duplicates and cheap specimens of menagerie stockjust to make a display. Their horses are superb, their wild beasts are rare and valuablespecimens, their actors are quiet, sober, decent people, and a credit to their class.The Ringling Brothers Menagerie and Circus is now a great railroad show of course,but the Ringling Brothers have demonstrated the possibility of managing a large combinationand keeping it free from all disreputable features, gambling, fakirs and rowdies.

The Ringling Bros. Show is clean, attractive, interesting exhibition, conducted bygentlemen on strict business principles, and as such deserves the success it meetswith.

Not only do railroadexcursions bring visitors, but vehicles of all sorts and denominations convey thestrangers to our lovely village. Our hotels are almost filled with summer boardersand the booming business finds expression in the beaming countenances of our hoteliers.
