The flood came rather unexpectedly yesterday caused by the heavy thaw.

The water from the numerous springs that supply the small creek whichruns through the fields on the west side, and the snow that accumulates and thawsin the spring comes rushing down, will do a great deal of damage to property alongSheboygan street every year, and the only way to avoid the trouble will be for ourcity to build catch-basins and lay sewer pipes.

NEWS FROM OUR NEIGHBORS

Port Washington

“Woodman, spare that tree!
Touch not a single bough!
In youth it sheltered me
And I'll protect it now.”
The foregoing is the sentiment which is wafted to me from men and women already passedthe middle age of life, being the children and heirs of our early settlers, suchas, Judge S. Austin WHITE, Barnum BLAKE, Judge DOWNS, who in earlier years have withtheir families occupied the little residence now occupied by Rev. COLLANDER of theGerman Methodist church, just north of the Court House in this city. But the messageand sentiment has come too late; it has like one of Christ's parables been like “seedsown on stony ground.” It has produced no fruit except of the worst.
The great elm in front of that residence has been compelled to submit to the woodman'sax, its great solid body has been severed, and that which has been planted out fifty-oneyears ago, and had been a generous shade for the occupants of so many well rememberedfamilies and their children, and the great number who walk or drive on that street.It was one of the four little elms set there in 1848 for a shade in front of thathome, now so small and ancient looking, but then quite pretentious in this new village.Since its fate and fall before the hard hearted axeman and his helpers on Saturdaylast, that house, which at one time seemed so large and commodious, looks barrenand small; the tree seemed to have given it an air of care and respectability, andof Christian occupancy. Now how changed to our vision: it seems doubly small, andso cold, rigidly, forbidding and inhospital. Like all views with beauty destroyed,the neighbors may get used to it and not feel so badly if further changes occur.The plans had been well laid before the church authorities, and they committed tothe project. The neighbors labored with them to prevent it, without success. ThePostal Telegraph Co. was stringing its wires on that street, they could run thempast the spreading branches without injuring the tree in the least; the wires fora few feet encases in a Gutta Perchn cable, which they proposed to do; the ministerrefused permission. The telegraph company then bought the privilege of cutting itdown; the minister whose residence on this charge must be but temporary, readilyconsented, he or the church got the ten dollars, and the body and limbs of that healthylarge green elm were cut to pieces, and ruthlessly dragged by the minister and sonsinto his back yard for very poor fuel. Our citizens generally regret its absence,and if they had timely notice that it was the silver pieces which were sought forso anxiously, a subscription in that neighborhood would have readily ransomed thesaid old elm which had been so generous in its summer shade to so many of our parentsand their children and grandchildren for over a half century. We must content ourselvesthat it has fulfilled its mission of goodness; gone to its purchasers and been destroyed.For what?
The smile of satisfaction as neighbors stood looking mournfully and helplessly ata distance, could only be excelled by whom? The happiness and gusto with which theirannoyance and defeat has been related around the circuit, could only be excelledby a Hottentot.

He has faithfully, manfully, determinedly broughtevery resource of his own, and all of the help of relatives and friends to bear himup against the disease to the very last; but once started, its will would win in the struggle. So with brave, forcible and manly Tom. He never would admit that hewas an invalid; always calculated upon a successful termination of but temporarysickness. Always calculating the prospects of his future, with the welfare and futureof others. Day by day he would revive, but gradually become weaker, at no time appearingto feel that he was not to survive and engage in future enterprises; nor would heallow others to speak to the contrary; until last Tuesday evening, while two ladyfriends were attending him in his weakened condition, Tom said to them: “Call thechildren” (meaning his brothers and sisters) and before they could be summoned, saidto his attendants, “Good bye” (as if the same was intended for the family and friends)and he was gone; gone to them forever.

NEWS FROM OUR NEIGHBORS

Port Washington
There is a special car which can be run over any of the railroads in this state,provided for carrying young fish from the different hatcheries in this state to beplanted in the waters thereof, and along the shores of Lake Michigan and Green Bay.Mr. Jas. NEVINS of Madison is the superintendent of the same. There are three hatcheries,as they are called by state law, located severally, at Madison, Oshkosh, and Bayfieldon the south shore of Lake Superior. On Thursday Mr. NEVINS came here with the fishcar loaded with cans of small fish, each fish one-half to three-fourths of an inchin length, bright, healthy and active.**On Saturday the work of planting took place,80 cans of Lake Superior whitefish frye were taken from the car to the lake and placedon board of Smith Bros. tug, taken out about two miles and dumped overboard; eachcan contains 5000 small fish, 400,000 little fish to replenish and improve the stockof trout alone from this point. It is the intention to plant a like number of thesame trout from the Oshkosh hatchery at five other places on the west shore, whichwould provide for an extra plant in these western waters of Lake Michigan of 240,000of the Lake Superior breed of trout, which are claimed to be more choice and larger,and far more tasteful than the trout of our lake or Lake Erie. The people in Michiganare duplicating our work in Wisconsin. The trout of Lake Superior and Huron, seemwhen cooked to show a different grain and taste, and to be flaky, and of a deep yellowcolor. It was amusing to see the little fish, as soon as they touched the water,disappear by diving for deep water and get out of sight and danger. It is expectedthat the planting of fish, (but of other varieties) will be repeated at least twicemore by the fish commission off this place yet this spring.
Who shall say that our people of this state are not philanthropic and enterprising;and that the present generation is not far better, and away in advance of their proprietorsin all humanitarian work. The man or woman who thinks to the contrary, or carps andgrowls about the degenerney of the present, is invariably the one who don't wantto move, or do anything for any other, who wishes for good luck, and then wants tosit down and visit and gossip, or take a quiet and undisturbed game, while waitingfor that which never comes.
Who shall say, that the people of the present are not better off, and more philanthropic,and easier moved to charity and kindness for the unfortunate, than those that precededthem in this city more than twenty-seven years ago, when we see an entire community,as one man, anxious and willing to do more than his fair proportion to raise twentyor twenty-five thousand dollars, as a gift to aid in rebuilding an industry here,which will give work, and yield support to at least 300 families. We have no recordof reproducing fish, one of the chief of meat supplies for the inhabitants; to betaken with liberty, to be eaten or made a great and profitable industry in commerce.We have no record of the spontaneous gush of charity and kindness as above state,among the generations that preceded us. No; not even in your own city, which so recentlyaided the shoe factory at Hamilton, and gave the proprietors relief from their complaints.Verily; who shall say that the people of this earth are not growing wiser and better.Certainly; it must be conceded that they are better.

A. DENNETT upon which he was to rebuild the Chair Co. buildings. It also was the hinge upon which the railroad company's promise being, that if theChair Co. rebuilt they would run a spur from the main line of the North Western Ry.just south of the depot near all of the manufacturing plants east of there to thelake shore, even to the old Wis. Grey and Malleable Iron foundry on the lake shoreeast of the harbor. We feel that these two improvements are assured, and it createsa feeling of some pride, and that the weight of depression is somewhat lighter fromthose who have investments or business interests here, or may hereafter be inducedto have such.

We had handed to us to peruse a letter from a grandparent to his grandson, then astudent for one of the practical working professions. It was of such practical characterthat I begged to make the following extract from it; as it cannot fail to be readand re-read by your youthful readers, and referred to by them, to their ultimateadvantage. It would be a good plan for all students to paste the extract in theirhat. Of course it's all old, but some may have the advantage of reading it for thefirst time to them. The extract read: “In time of peace, prepare for war.” “Intime of calm, prepare for storm.” “In time of youth, prepare for old age.” “Intime of quietude, prepare for the time when you will be distracted.” “If preparationtime is wasted, take a back seat to wait for and follow other's bidding, and thengrumble and regret until pushed aside, and finally shuffled off. This life is real,not fictitious, or funny, or made to plume feathers in, and strut; more than allit is not made to pretend to dive deep, and deceive the sight of others, when wehave only got our head under the surface, all else of the anatomy being visible,even to the blind.”
