The DodGcville Lodge of I. o. of G. T.
passed the following appropriate resolutions
in respect of the memory of the virtues of
Rev. john ToAY, who was a worthy member
Of the Order. They were received too late
for cur last weeks issue, but we give place
in our columns with pleasure ? c this time:
At a special meeting of Amicitia Lodge,
Ne. As I. 0. of G. T., held March 10th. 1867,
at the Lodge room in the village Of Dodge
vile, Bros. Otis, WriCglcsworth, and Ashley
were appointed a committee TO draft reso-
buttons expressive of the sense of this Lodge
upon the occasion of the death Of Bro. John
Toav.
Said committee reported the following
resolutions which were, on motion, adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased the Almighty, in
the dispeusation of an All-wise Providence,
to remove our lamented Brother, Rev JouN
ToAY. w. c. T. of Emery Lodge No. 81, Of
Mineral Point, from the sphere of his labors

MINING-We understand that sew
eral parties in this locality are being auitn
s,,eeessciI in Mining operations. 1t has long
been known to those engaged in agricuitur-
al pursuits that deep blowing was necessary
for the production of large crops. 1t is also
found by he miner that deep mining is like
to prove much more remuncTative than sur
face prospecting. In most localities the
mines have formerly been abandoned as
soon as the water became troublesome, but
Of late the attention of those engaged in
mining has been directed TO deposits of
mineral below the usual depth Of shafts in
this vicinity, and We believe in almost every
instance the efforts of those who sink deep
have been crowned with success. We hear
Of several parties thus engaged who are
taking out large quantities Of mineral, but
as we have not tie particulars we refrain
from farther notice at this time, and would
only add that We are strong in tho faith that
there arc vet untold riches beneath the
earth, that have not yet been penetrated.

DIAEoND DIcKENs.-It has hereto,
fore been announced that TIcKSoR & FIELDS,
of Boston, were about to issue a Diamond
edition Of DIcKENs works, which would
probably be followed by works Of other
authors in the same form The first of the
series IS before Us, to-wit: The Diamond
Pickwick, and it is certainly a beautiful
edition. 1t is book of 465 pages, fine but
clear type, tastefu.ly bound, printed on fine
paper slightly tinted, with an excellent en-
graved head Of DICKENS, and sixteen original
illustrations by the best of artists The
great wonder is how the work can be furn-
ished 50 cheap-only 81 so with, or 81 25
without illustrations. Everybody who ad-
Rlircs DICKENS writings viii have this edi-
tion Of his works, and thank TIcKSoE &
FIELD for the economy with which they have
got it up The entire works of DICKENS will
be published in the same style, at the rate
Of a5ogt one work a month until completed.
Now is the time to secure copies
