W-A sad affair took place on Tuesday
evening Of last week, in the town of Blue
Mounds about four miles the other side of
Pokerville, by which one man was killed
and another seriously wounded. A man
by the name Of Williams married daugh-
ycr of David Hoten, and the boys of the
neighborhood thinking to have some sport
went with tin pans, bells, &C., &C., to
charivari the newly married couple. The
bridal party not liking such an entertain
men., resisted it. Mr.. Holten procur ring a
shot gun, fired in the party, wounding two
persons, one of whom, Theron E. Dryden,
has since died; Mr., Holten has been ar
rested, and on giving bail was released.
There was new development in the
case Friday, it being alleged, as is said on
good authority, that Mr.. Willims has a
wife and three children living in Ohio, and
threats having been made to arrest him for
bigamy, he disappeared at an early hour
Thursday.

Teachers Institute.

AS will be seen by reference to the ad-
vertising columns of this paper, the an
nual institute for Iowa county will be held
at the court house in this village, COM
mencing on Monday afternoon, October s,
and closing on Thursday evening, to be
followed, on Friday and Saturday, by a
public examination of teachers.
Teachers are expected from all parts of
the county, consequently many will be
here who have NO acqualntances IN the
place. 1t will therefore be expected that
the citizens of Dodgeville will display their
hospitality by kindly entertaining them,
and making their stay as pleasant as pos
siblc. We, with others, assured the coun-
ty superintendent that Dodgeville was the
best place in the county to hold the insti-
tute, it being the most central, and the
hospitality of its citizens being unques-
tlonable.

Accounts OF THE CRoPs.-The abstract
of crop returns for July, just issued from
the Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington shows the prospect of a pear of av-
erage fruilfulness. The present indications
as marked by thousands of correspondent
of the Department, point to an average Of
about eight and half tenths Of an aver
age crop in quantity of of wheat, of quail
ity that will make i: equal in value to last
years crop. The testimony from all quar-
tiers renders it certain that the quality will
be excellent. The showing is much more
favorable tn an in the June report.
Winter barley sis in very nearly the same
condition as the wheat
The oat crop has been unusually good
almost beyond precedent
The condition of pastures is generally
above the average
With the exception Of Maine and New
Hampshire, every State reports greater
breadth of corn thau usual,
A somewhat d!mished average Of sorg-
hum is indicated.
There is nearly an average breadth of
of fax,
In every State mole potatoes than usual
were planted, which promises better than
usual
The prospect for apples is not as good as
usual, and no fruit upon the list makes so
poor showing as peaches.
Accounts from Upper Canada agree
that the prospects of an abundant harvest
were never more favorable than they are
this season. Except the fall wheat, which
was injured by the wet cold weather i'll
spring, the grain crops will be above an
! average.

QUEER Times Done IN TYPE-A
laughable mistake is made in the following
mixing of two articles-one concerning a
preacher, the other about the freaks of a
mad dog-which occurred in a hurried
"make up in printing office:
The Rev. James Thompson, rector of
St, Andrews church, preached to large
concourse of people on Sunday last. This
was his last sermon In a few weeks he
will bid farewell to his congregation, as
his physician advises him to cross the At
lAntjc. He exhorted his brethren ami
sisters, and after the conclusion of a short
prayer, took whim to cut up some fran
tic feats. He ran up Trinity street " the
college, At this stage of the proceedings
a couple of bows seized him and tied tin
kettle to his tail, and he again started. A
crowd collected, and for time there was
a grand scene of running and confusion.
After long race he was finally shot by a
policeman" re.

A MOTHERS LOVE.

Some years ago, some English officers
camping in the vicinity of Mulkapoor,we
out tiger hunting, and bagged splendid
trophy, they found in a secluded spot, in
the lee OF jagged rock, what evidently
was the lair OF a tiger, for there lay bones
of both human and brute kind. and
shreds and rags of clothing. More inter
esting than all, however, was the discovery
of tiny kitten, not more than fortnight
old, coied in corner. winking and blink
ing and gaping at the intruders, The
hunters at once decided that this must be
the cub of the beast they had slain, and
willingly took charge of the little orphan.
Tiger kittens are not captured every
day, so when the hunters returned to their
quarters, the excitement in their tent was
considerable. The newly acquired kitten
was provided With a tiny dog-collar and
chain, and attached to the tent-pole, round
which it gamboled, to the delight OF an audi
ence numbering nearly twenty, About
two hours after the capture, however, and
just as it was growing dark, the good peo-
in the tent were checked in the midst Of
their hilarity by a sound that caused the
the brayest heart 10 beat rather irregular
ly. ... =
1t was the roar, or rather combination of
shrek and roar, peculiar to the tiger when
driven mad with rage. In an instant the
gambling kitten became every inch tiger
and strained with all its baby strength at
the tether, while it replied, with loud
wall, to the terrible voice outside. The
company were palic stricken. There was
som muthing SO sudden and unearthly in the
roar, that it seemed as though the great
tiger, brought in an hour before, had come
to life again Certainly, the tiger IN ques-
ton was already fayed, bat the picture con-
iured up, became not the more pleasant for
that There was, however, not nearly so
much time for speculation TO the sacred
company as writing these lines has cost !;
for almost simultaneous with the roar, there
leaped sheer into the cebter of the tent, a
bold tigrcSs, and without deigning to notice
a single man there, she caught aer kidnap-
ped baby by the nap of its neck, land giving
jerk, snapped the little cham, and turn
ing for the tent door, trotted off at full
speed After al, it appeared that the lit
tie thing did not belong to the tiger that
was slain, but to the brave mother that had
tracked and recovered it. Sanguinary
man-eater as she may hav been, one can
be scarcely sorry to hear that not a gun
was Ieveled at the great rejoicing creature
as she bore off her young one, and that she
got clear off.

A. II. STEPHENS.

POoR CoMFoRT.-The attempted resur-
rection in New Orleans of the Louisiana
Convention of 1864, which has happily
been dead and buried for two years, was
the cause of the late riot in that city,
The purpose of those seeking 10 recall this
convention to life is to cooperate with The
Radicals in Congress in securing pre-
tended ratification by Louisiana of the Con
stitutional Amendment. We have already
referred to it as very stupid effort to
bring about an impossibIitv but the fol-
lowing ire, erent opinion of Thaddrus Ste
vens upon the subject is more explicit in
denunciation of the movement than any
thing we have yet seen. An agent Of the
convention having called upon Ste
vens, 10 Washington, in order to receive
his countenance in the project, was met
with the following answer: -s
"What! revive that Id bogus con
cern of Banksi Sir, it never was legally
born; it was bastard. never would
have anything to do with it while alive,
and now, that 1t is dead, it may stay,
where it belongs"

E Geary SAYS in his "speechesn III.

81 Geary says in his speeches" that
"negro suffrage is not no~ question:" but
he don't say how he is on that question:
All his organs--with a few exceptions-de-
clare, also, that negro suffrage is not moan
aquestion, but why? Because there is
no amendment striking the word "white"
ont of the Constitution of PENNSYLVANIA to
be voted upon at the coming election
That is their only reason; bnt. potwith-
standing, negro suffrage is now an issue
before the people. Should the Gcaryites
succeed in quietly electing a majority of
The Legislature, at the coming election, one
OF the first acts next winter will be the mas
sage OF an amendment to enable negroes to-
vote. There is no doubt whatever of this.
And if Geary shall occupy the Governors
chair his assent will be given to everv me-
gro measure enacted. Besides this, negro
suffrage has become a national question.
through the persistent agitation of the par
ty In which Geary is attached. Seeing
that political power is departing from them,
their greatest efforts are being made to
force negro suffrage at the South, through
amendments TO the Constitution, and by
means OF irresponsible and revolutionary
conventions, such as that which met at
New Orleans on he 30th ult. The leaders
OF tine Geary party want the negro vote 10
maintain supremacy at Washington. Gea-
ry, therefore, dare not deny that negro suf-
trage Is the question at the South and that
he Is in favor of it. Negro suffrage and
equality at the South mean negro suffrage
and equality in Pennsylvania. Hence he
who tavors one is committed to the other.
Geary isrupon a negro platform.

forms of life and beauty that gather around
it. 1t is ever thus with the pure. You
may not hear the 'still, small voice." or
head the silent aspirations, but there is o

Won will feel. The wilderness is made to
smile, flowers of new life and be uty spring

breashes immortal fragrance through the

WHY CHILDREN DIE.--The reason why
children die is because they are not taken

are stuffd with food choked with phySic.

permitted to breathe a breath of air once a
week in SIMMER, and once or twice dnring
the coolest months, only the nose is permit
ted to peer into daylight. A little later
the, are sent out with no clothes at all as
10 the parts of the body which most needs
protection. Bare legs, bare arms, bare
n, cks. girtrd mddles, with an inverted um-
breIa to collect the air and chill the other
parts of the body. A stout, strong man
goes out on cold day with gloves and
over coat. wooden Stockens. and thick, doub-
led. soled boots. The same dav child of
three wears old. An infant in flesh and blood,
bone and constitution, goes out with soIes
as thin as paper cotton socks, legs uncov-
cred to the knees, reck bare; an exposure
which would disable the nurse, kill the
mother ir fortnight, and make the father
an invalid for weeks. And why? To
harden them to mode of dress which they
are never expected to practice.
