The flood came rather unexpectedly yesterday caused by the heavy thaw. No one was prepared for it and the consequence was that nearly all the cellars in the houses on the west side of Sheboygan street from the Woolen Mills to Henry BENISCHs property are flooded. The water from the numerous springs that supply the small creek which runs through the fields on the west side, and the snow that accumulates and thaws in the spring comes rushing down, will do a great deal of damage to property along Sheboygan street every year, and the only way to avoid the trouble will be for our city 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 Ill protect it now.
The foregoing is the sentiment which is wafted to me from men and women already passed the middle age of life, being the children and heirs of our early settlers, such as, Judge S. Austin WHITE, Barnum BLAKE, Judge DOWNS, who in earlier years have with their families occupied the little residence now occupied by Rev. COLLANDER of the German Methodist church, just north of the Court House in this city. But the message and sentiment has come too late; it has like one of Christs parables been like seed sown 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 woodmans ax, its great solid body has been severed, and that which has been planted out fifty-one years ago, and had been a generous shade for the occupants of so many well remembered families 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 that home, 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 Saturday last, that house, which at one time seemed so large and commodious, looks barren and small; the tree seemed to have given it an air of care and respectability, and of Christian occupancy. Now how changed to our vision: it seems doubly small, and so cold, rigidly, forbidding and inhospital. Like all views with beauty destroyed, the neighbors may get used to it and not feel so badl!
y if further changes occur. The plans had been well laid before the church authorities, and they committed to the project. The neighbors labored with them to prevent it, without success. The Postal Telegraph Co. was stringing its wires on that street, they could run them past the spreading branches without injuring the tree in the least; the wires for a few feet encases in a Gutta Perchn cable, which they proposed to do; the minister refused permission. The telegraph company then bought the privilege of cutting it down; the minister whose residence on this charge must be but temporary, readily consented, he or the church got the ten dollars, and the body and limbs of that healthy large green elm were cut to pieces, and ruthlessly dragged by the minister and sons into 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 for so anxiously, a subscription in that neighb!
orhood would have readily ransomed the said old elm which had been so
generous in its summer shade to so many of our parents and their children and grandchildren for over a half century. We must content ourselves that 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 at a distance, could only be excelled by whom? The happiness and gusto with which their annoyance and defeat has been related around the circuit, could only be excelled by a Hottentot.

Port Washington

The matter of the hearing of claims against the estate of the late Patrick MOHONEY of the city of Cedarburg, and of whose last will C. F. KENNEY is executor, has been adjourned until the 18th day of April, before the county court in probate.
~~~~~~~~~~
Mr. and Mrs. John COTTINGHAM, who came to Grafton fifty-three years ago, in their early married life, and who raised a large family at that village, came to their daughter, Mrs. BUCK, who lives in our city, on the 21st of this month from near Palmyra in this state, where they have lived for some years since their return from Tennessee. Mrs. COTTINGHAM is now quite seriously sick at her daughters, but with her usual courage is determined that she will soon be better.

John ARENTZ was on affidavit of Atty. E. S. TURNER brought before court commissioner TOWSLEY last week to be examined and disclose any property or interests he might possess or hold in some other persons name. During one adjournment he skipped out and did not appear, for which he was charged by TURNER with contempt. The sheriff was sent to Racine county for him. He was arraigned for contempt, fined five dollars and costs, in all $32.00, and for want of payment committed to the county jail for 20 days. We learn that later the judgment and costs were settled, compromised by the parties, his fines and costs being paid he was released from custody.
