Cornell Brothers and their jolly corps of engrafters left for their home, Goshen, Indiana, last Monday night. They could not procure sufficient work to pay them to remain any longer. While here, they made a great many friends who will welcome them if they ever see fit to visit Cedarburg again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The grand delivery of reapers and mowers by Thos. FLYNN at Thienville last Saturday, was a big affair, to say the least. Farmers from the neighborhood of Port Washington and Belgium having purchased farming machinery of some kind. The number of reapers and mowers was eighty-two, several threshers and a numerous lot of hay rakes, cultivators, plows, etc. Mr. FLYNN, it is said, is one of the most successful agriculture machinery agents in the state, of which there is hardly any doubt, as his annual deliveries speak for themselves. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Three excursions to leave Neenah via Wisconsin Central for northwestern Iowa and Dakota are to take place on June 6, July 6, and August 3.

This is an extremely low rate. All ex-soldiers should go. Do not forget that this rate is via The Chicago & Northwestern Railway. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mr. C. WIESLER has shown us a very pleasant and harmless method for killing lice on canary birds. The remedy is very simple: Take some plug tobacco and whiskey; mix and let it stand a few hours, when it is ready for use; then saturate the cage with same and lice will immediately disappear. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ We are in the receipt of a copy of the National Tribune, published in Washington City, D.C. The Tribune is a journal published expressly for soldiers who cannot do better than to subscribe. It is a monthly publication and cheap for fifty cents a year. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ WIRTH Bros. are making preparations to do a booming business in the future.

He is also to deliver fifty car loads to parties in Milwaukee for the same purpose. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY A meeting for the purpose of talking up and organizing an agricultural society in the south, was held at C. B. CARSTENS' saloon last night. The meeting was very largely attended and the matter was pretty thoroughly talked up and indications are that we are to have a rousing county fair next fall. As we go to press, there was over $300 subscribed towards the project, the list of which we will give in our next. The following business was transacted: Meeting called to order by J. W. JOHANN. Mr. WILKE was called to the chair and Mr. C. B. CARSTENS was elected secretary. The chairman explained the object of the meeting. Mr. J. W. JOHANN moved that a committee of five be appointed to solicit subscription for the purpose of organizing an agricultural society in the southern part of this county, Granville, Jackson and Germantown those subscribing to do the locating and organizing. The motion was seconded and carried. Moved and seconded that J. C. CORRIGAN, C. GOTTSCHALK, John WEBER, D. WITTENBERG and J. ZAUN be appointed as such a committee. Moved and seconded that the committee be authorized to call the next meeting when they get far enough with the subscription list. Adjourned. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ANOTHER IMPROVEMENT Charles GOTTSCHALK informs us that he has received subscriptions sufficient to enable him to sprinkle the streets of Cedarburg. We are really pleased that Mr. G. has received encouragement enough to carry out another improvement which will help greatly to give Cedarburg a pleasant appearance in dry weather. The sprinkling of the streets will not alone be a benefit to our business men and residents, but will be for the health of every one, and it is much pleasanter to walk on our streets when sprinkled than when there is nothing but an endless cloud of dust on windy days. Mr. GOTTSCHALK purchased a sprinkler in Milwaukee last Monday and will have it here as soon as possible and go over the streets four times a day, keeping them always damp. With a street sprinkler and sidewalks, we can boast of having as fine a village as there is in the state. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chas. GOTTSCHALK has moved the old livery stable back about thirty feet and will build a new building between that and his dwelling which is next to his stable. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The grain business, though rather dull at the elevator, is better than expected. ZAUN manages to keep things moving no matter how dull the season of the year. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Port Washington has secured, through Hon. P. V. DEUSTER, a harbor appropriation of $20,000. We congratulate Port Washington in being so fortunate. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ For any kind of first class painting, either decorative house, sign or carriage, you must call on G. WURTHMANN who is undoubtly the best and neatest painter in this place. Give him a trial. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ During the reunion week, which commences on the 8th of June, Charles GOTTSCHALK will run his bus between here and Milwaukee daily. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Prof. BARDENWOERPER picniced at the Hilgen Springs last Saturday with the scholars of the Mequon turn society. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ FROM WAUBEKA Warm. The youngest run bare-footed and shoemakers look mad. W. MAERKLEIN feels pleased and proud – it is twins – two bouncing boys. Spring work is nearly finished. Crops look promising and farmers take a deep breath of relief – hope has returned. Tanner NEUNES is doing well because he knows his business. The leather he prepares is justly celebrated of the best quality. The singing school under the able leadership of Mr. DODELL is a very pleasant affair. The young folks make a marked progress in their singing. The Saenger Verein had a ball in their hall last Sunday. The hall was crowded and everyone felt happy, as is always the case on their entertainments. M. RUHMER of the Germania House held a Leap year party last Wednesday. It was a good one but the young ladies were not courageous enough, as was therefore not very successful. A. M. KERSTEN keeps as neat a drug store as can be found anywhere in the county and well filled with all kinds of drugs necessary in the Aesculapean art. He is an accomplished Pharmaceute and deserves a liberal patronage. W. MAERKLEIN, our chief justice of the peace, is a very liberal man. He acknowledged thirty deeds last week and did not charge one cent for the job. He is besides the most pleasant of landlords, and governs over the popular Eagle Hotel very successfully. Michael LIDDY and Miss Kate RAYGAN were married on the 19th of April, also Henry O'HARE to Miss GOUGH, our best wishes for their future happiness. Mr. LIDDY and his young wife left last week for Kansas where they are to build them a new home. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ PROCEEDINGS OF TOWN BOARD Cedarburg, April 27, 1880 Board of supervisors met at the so-called HALPIN's corner for the purpose of examining road leading from thence west, but concluded to wait until fall.
