The lead region Of Wisconsin includes an area
Of about $500 square miles, occupying the
southwest corr.e- OF the State. and including
the counties of Grant, Lafayette, Iowa, Green.
and the western portion of Dane. lis approxi-

the north; Sugar river on the east; the State
line on the south and the Mississippi on the
west is extent, from east TO west, is about
seventy miles; and It's average width, from north

large streams. The general altitude is about COO

CHAPTER III.

William Dana was a young man of good
natural talents. affa bic. engaging manners,
and possessed of many fine social qualities
He was al only son. and, of course, an
object of the fondest solicitude to his kind
parents. who gave him every advantage
for education and improvement in thei-
power to bestow, and looked upon him
with pride, and joy, ana the prop and stay
of their declining years. In school, he
exce.lcd all around him. in aptitude and
intellectual powers and vet made few en-
emics by his acknowledged superiority,
because of his affa bility and genuine kind
ness of heart to all around him especial

IN disgrace for their deficiencies OF mis-
conduct
While under the parental roof he was
safe. surrounded by the watchful care Of
a fond mother but when transferred from

GEOLOGY OF THE LEAD MINES.

Under this head propose briefly to describe
&c prevailing rocks, which underle the mining
district SO far as we have been able TO ascertain
them. The rocks of the globe are divided by ge
oog.sts into two great classes, the stFatfed and
uustrarified Those which are found to have a
regular arrangement in layers are called stratiird
vale those which have no such structue, but are
irregular and massive in form are called unstrati-
fed The rocks Of this district all belong to the
former class. They are arranged in regular pafal-
.sI layers OF varying thickness, having generally a
position slightly inclined or horizontal. They con
sst chiefly OF limestone and sandstone, with occa-
soaal beds of shale and clay. They are arranged
one above another in an invariabe order, so that
they always occupy the relative position in
vertical scale. The accompanying sections ex-
hbit the order of succession, position, and rela-
aye thickness OF these rocks, more clearly than
any verbal description.
Section No. exhibits the succession OF rocks
which would be encountered in sinking shaft
from the highest points of the surface TO the low
est rocks, which have yet been brought within
the reach Of our observation. In descending from
The surface we shall encounter the following beds

EVERY MAN HIS OWN LAWYER.
sRLF. DEFENcE rRIuMpmANT.

AT the last term Of the Orange CO.,
~. W Court, the following case was
tried, upon which the jury was adj
dressed by the defendant, who had
concluded to appear in his own de-
fence:
The People Us. James .4Hertoa. This
was a very interesting case, rendered
so from the fact that the defendant act.
ed as "his own lawyer" on the trial,
without having the advantage of being
one Of the legal fraternity. His " sum-
ming up of which we are able to give
near verbatim report, with the excep-
tion Of the acting" was decidedly rich,
and afforded much amusement for the
legal gentlemen present. The defen-
dant, who is a small, red haired, thin
specimen of a Yankee, was indicted
for an assault and battery on one Mr..
D0dder. The facts, as divulged upun
trial, are briefly as follows: The de,
fendant is in the employ Of the Mon
gaup Valley, Forrestburg and Port Jer-
Wis Plank Road Company as a toll ga.
therer, aud resides upon the road,
some miles above Port Jeryis. He
and the complainant, Mr.. Dodder, are
near neighbors.
On a Sunday in February last, the
defendant saw the complainant in the
act of beating his (defendant's) cows
along the highway, and as an induce
ment for him to quit, hurled few
stones at him, one Of which, as the cons
plainant testified, struck him on the
back Of the neck.
The testimony being concluded, the
defendant addressed the jury as fol-
lows:

TO OUR rRIEyDs.

I'VE have just received lot Of New Types,
a part of which are intended for the con-
tenplated enlargement Of the Recorder and the
others to enable Us to execute in better style
Blanks aud other Job Work. Our friends viii
SEQ from this that we are in earnest in the mat
ter of the enlargement of our paper, and We
hope to receive sufficient encouragement to en-
able us to do so before the meeting of the Lee
gisature. All that remains to accomplish it is
the purchase of a new Press. The paper now
is as large as our old Press viii print; and be-
sides, having withstood the assaults OF the Brit
ish in the war Of 1912, it is somewhat dfi:ult
to be kept in order, and cannot be safely relied
on. An addition of l50 new subscribers, with
an advance payment, would meet the necessary
expenditure at once. We appeal, then, to our
friends in Orange, Alamance, Granville, Person,
and other neghboring counties, to aid us. BY a
little effort from each OF our present subscribers
all that we require could be accomplished in a
few days. The enlargement would make con-
siderable addition to the amount of reading mat
ter each week, and would greatly increase the
usefulness and cilic ency of the paper. Ii pro-
perly encouraged, we shall endcasor to make
the RscoRDER not only faithful exponent Of
Wnig principles, but also one of the best Fami-
ly Papers published in the State. Who will be
tho first to respond to our appeal We have
iaborcd faithfully anl long in the Wing cause,
All for what we believed to be the true inte-
rcsts of North Carolina, and surely an appeal
now to the friends with whom we have co-ope-
rated, will not pass unheeded.
