It has been reported that the W. C. R. R. company were intending to remove Mr. J. F. Johnston from the Abbott House at Abbotsford for reasons the Times and many other patrons of the house are unable to account for.; We hope and believe the company know the value of good men too well to remove so good a; man as J. F. Johnston, until information more reliable is obtained, than reports from those who have nothing else to do but to attend to other people's business.

THE boys had a good time Saturday night.; At least, they appeared to enjoy themselves.; It was a charivarie party.; The music was not of the best, but suited the boys and the occasion.; It is unnecessary to say that Wm. Jungbauer set out the beer and cigars.

While making a trip to Milwaukee and Chicago last week, we had occasion to stop at the Republican house, corner of Third and Cedar streets, Milwaukee, kept by our old time friend, Chas. F. Kletzsch.; Mr. Kletzsch is one of the few with a natural adaptability for hotel keeping.; There are, perhaps, few as well kept hotels in the state.; The new department is provided with all the latest modern improvements, business pertaining to the hotel is under the immediate supervision of Mr. K., and the dining room and kitchen under the watchful eye of Mrs. Kletzsch, who has had large experience in this work, and thereby enabled to please the most exacting or epicurean[sic].; Any of our friends visiting Milwaukee, will find this hotel first-class in every particular, and rates reasonable.

THE fishing party from Marshfield started to-day (Saturday) for Chippewa Crossing; from there they take a northwesterly course, till they bring up at Bass Lake.; They go fully equipped with rod and gun, a few rounds of ammunition, and a small supply of provender, as they expect to dine principally upon fish, mollusks, etc.

JOHN SCHUSTER, of Germantown, Washington county, came up to Marshfield last Wednesday to visit some friends in this vicinity, and was so well pleased with Marshfield that he has located here for good.; Mr. S. says this section is far ahead of old Washington or Waukesha counties, and advises his friends in those two counties to pack up their duds and come to Marshfield, where they will stand some show of getting a good living and saving something for a rainy day, and THE TIMES thinks he is about right.; Thus Marshfield gains another wide awake man as a resident.

LOUIS J. GLASS of Marshfield, has been appointed Judge Advocate, with the rank of First Lieutenant, of the Third Battalion, State Militia, by Gov. Rusk.We don't know what the devil the third battalion wants of a judge advocate unless they want it for the same reason that a man wants to take a drink of whiskey, but let that be as it will, they have got one, and that is IK if he does wear sig lamps.---[Colby Phonograph.---; Now Samuwel, you let up, Lew will make a good one, and don't you forget it.; THE TIMES advises you to be on your guard, for Lew is "laying" for you.

THE entertainment given by the Cross family Wednesday evening, was, on account of the rain, and he Good Templars holding a meeting the same evening, rather slimly attended, and those who failed to attend, missed a good thing.; The two sisters aged 14 and 16 are good singers, and with proper training will make their mark at the top of the ladder.; The little boy, aged 7, is a smart little fellow, and goes through his part in good style, as any old hand at the business.; It is to be hoped they will visit Marshfield again under more favorable circumstances.

At last Marshfield has had a fire, the first in the history of the place, but in all probability will not be the last.; Last Saturday morning about four o'clock the village was awakened by the cry of fire! and people jumped out of bed, and rushed into their clothes too soon, some thinking the whole business portion was ablaze, but it was only the grist mill across the railroad track, nearly in range with the south side of the Ave, had the wind been a little stronger, Marshfield would have laid in ashes before night, as there was no means of putting it out, except with pails; as it was a number of buildings had close calls by flying cinders.; THE TIMES understands the mill was insured for $2,000, which does not cover the loss on the machinery, say nothing about the building.; How the fire originated, is at the present writing a mystery.; It was quite a surprise to Mr. Kehr, the owner, when he got home from the Rapids at noon, to find himself minus a grist mill.

At Campbell settlement, on Sunday morning, the saw-mill owned by Nick Pinion, was burned to the ground.; The boiler and engine was all that was saved.; Loss $4,000.; No insurance.; Mr. Pinion will rebuild.
