Emigration to Green Bay and Wisconsin settlements
The steamer Columns carried 200 to 300 German emigrants to Green Bay with plans for further arrivals by Buffalo. Settlements near Lake Winnebago attract buyers at $4,500 per farm, with lands selling for 1.25 per acre. Green Bay’s new settlement at Vittace grows, as Germans purchase farms and begin cultivation. Also reports on a sedition rumor, Hamilton Whigs rally, and a note on Bunker Hill Monument elevator rides.

Sheriff sale echoes in Madison water power dispute
A Milwaukee Courier notice raises questions about sheriff sales tied to executions from Milwaukee and Brown counties. The 1840s dispute centers on James D. Doty and Alanson Sweet, with connections to Barlow Shackelford, the governor’s brother, and local office seekings. The commentary questions how large claims were assigned and by whom, amid accusations of patronage and political maneuvering. The item blends a legal notice with editorial conjecture and a New York political summary.
