A. d. Moe and Rev. j. w. Crawford, o
Frankville, were among our callers of las
week. The number of calls from the Con
vention members was largo and agreeable
We name these gentlemen because Of ii
interesting discussion which occurred a
mong US on Orthodoxy subject not ex
actly in our line, but one which will eve,
be interesting to thinking person. 1t j.
probable that We will publish, next week, ,
portion Of the writings of the celebrated
Jean Jacques RossEAu who is so flippantly
quoted by theologic orators who know
nothing about him. Wen send you q
copy, Mr.. Crawford. ...Wm. G. Moshiel
was in town last week with pretty 'CUB,
the horse that beat them all, at the Du.
buque fall races. We had the pleasure to
ride after him mile or two, and without
battery to Cub or bis owner, We deliber.
ssely say he is the finest and strongest NOV.
ing trotter we ever saw. His motions are
- graceful as those Of . No. dancer his
form is unexcelled, and he moves with a
power which indicates the possession Of
De<ter-ian ability. Very geutle il Cub
Mrs. Moshier holds him in entire command,
guiding him, not By 'slines'' bat BY "pre-
cept" or talk. He i not for sale it il
possible he can be purchased at SC, 900 to
$40, 900. An offer Of Three thousand has
already been refused.
BY circular received We Gee that our
friend Miss Ida Messerole, and general "a
vorite at McG., IL attached to the Lewiston
IN. w. Academy As Teacher Of Music, of
French, and Of German. Our confidence
in the ability Of Miss N. leads us to be-
lieve that the Lewiston Academy cannot
dispense with her, until well-until she
accepts pupil Of the male persuasion for
life !......Chas. Sheppard, a young man
once here, then in Colorado, California
and Montana, is in town. Eight years Of
Absence changes things, Charley
Judge 10. Mills & Co.,-the firm con-
sisting Of Butcher, viele, Sheriff Menges,
Col. Kelley. Webster, ct al, called to see
us on Saturday. Judge Mills is bossing the
Crawford Co. District Court. Leisure per-
mitted him to look our town over on that
day; he and sscf came to see US. 10. is
waggish, but As full Of legal points as long
practice and tough association can make
him. We like tho Judge As bis dis
trict is over the water, we have no fear
Of mourning "Contempt of Court by thus
writing of him. Milo Winters, one of
the oldest settlers in and around Monona,
went out Of town the other day with a
GLASS & SoN wagon worth $llO. Milo,
not many years ago, came to this country
without dollar he now has good farm
and does pretty much "as he don't care
cent, py tain - The cuts Of the Prairie
du Chen Courier, relative to elections,
are admirable. WILLIAM, thou shouldn't
be too heavy on brother BRowN of the Un-
ion. He is loaded with returns from York |
.....What do Capt. Morrill,, Bill Rowland,
10. McCorkle and others, mean by forcing
delicacics upon us We "havn't done
nothin," as the boy said. Only think Of q
home-meal made up of Venison steaks
from the region of Minne-ha-ha, per NJ. U.
Express ducks from the mouth of the
Wisconsin, one Of the largest aflu-
ents of the Great River, and noted as the
entree of Marquette and his companions
in their voyage from Green Bay via Por-
tage to the Mississippi and Buckwheat
cakes from Bunker Hill! This is not the
Revolutionary Hill which opened the ball
in '76 but 10. Nice. says if the darned
Britishers come round there, demanding
tax on tea they will find as brave defend
ers of American rights as their ancestors
did "in times of DID," Thanks to all of
you.
A paper before us, held at So, 90 year,
to send Sewing Machine (which
cannot be bought for less than $780," pro-
vided an "old subscriber will remit $57
for nineteen new subscribers ~ This is
swindle or lie on the face Of the propo-
position. Give $50 for s57 and throw in
l9 yearly subscribers besides ........ The
death of Mrs. G. Light Moore, of this city,
is announced to US as we go to press. Mrs.
NJ. was longtime resident here, and
much respected. Years of struggle with
Consumption ultimated in the victory of
Disease. We have no particulars. She
was buried on Tuesday of this week......
Miss Lila D. Albright, former teacher Of
this place, and for a year or two resident
Of Albany, N. Y, has returned to Nc
Gregor to spend the winter with her
friends. We hope she will conclude to stay
among the warm hearts by whom she is
here surrounded. Last week while re-
ferring to the return of absentees we were
not aware that Miss A H-r was among
the ladies whose names we took the liber-
ty to mention. The commission to include
hers is q source Of sincere regret. The
mention Of some and the failure to speak
of others, who are equally and highly
esteemed, is the cause of our cbagrin. We
thus make amends in the best way our
dumbness will allow. .....Line McKinnie is
turning out Slowing for Kriebs & King
If you think he isn't an iron door-ist,
just 20 to Clarke & Rich's Billiard Hall
and see door as is door. LINE is first
class workman in tin, but he don't spell
words worth cent. He is so hostile to
tyranny that he hates the Kings English |!
