ing District OF South western Wis
cousin, situated al the terminus oil
the Mineral Point Rail Road, in the
southern part of Iowa county, is one
OF the most Furnishing inland towns
of the State. Few towns in the

that, notwithstanding nearly one
hundred and fifty residences were
added last season, the wants of the
people require twice that number

GgI In personal appearance Lord
Brougham WAS tall and stalwart,
with exceedingly large bones, q high
| ly developed forehead, and nose
remarkably long, but what the
French term retrousSe, or turned up.
When be was excited, it positively
quivered with emotion. He was
capable of enduring almost incredible
fatigue, and in the early half Ct his
career, like all leading public men in
England at thot period. was of highly
convivial habits but for the last
thirty years he WAS strictly temper
ate.
"A company of miners were re-
Gently prospecting on the Rio Henda,
q tributary OF the Rio Grande, in
New Mexico, where they struck
some old Spanish diggings, which
were worked several hundred years
ago, and on opening an old shaft, they
found a skeleton of a man standing
upri light, with mining tool in his
hand, and in his pan tolerable pros
pect. The indian traditions state
that he was one of large body of
the Spanish miners who were buried
alive there while ct work.
WOMEN DooToRs.-In Philadelphia,
six women physicians return in
comes ranging from 81 900 to $40, 900
year. In Orange, N. j., there is
another whose annual income ran
yes between $40 600 and S15,0 900. In
the city ofNew York, there is one
whose income is rarely less than $780,
900 year Some of these physicians
are successful surgeons as well as
capable medical practitioners.
s.a~ The Monroe .Sentina' says that
the Milwaukee III ST. Paul Railroad
Company have surveyed route
through to Savannah, town just
below Galera on the Mississippi riv
er, to which point they now think OF
rapning the Southern Wisconsin road
conditioned that the people sub
scribe 5000, 600 of stock AS we nn-
derrtand it, this road would pass very
near or through Galena.
sn-The Mineral Point Tribute
thinks that when the Mineral Point
Branch Railroad shall be extended
to Dodgeville it will soon after creep
along to some other place, we should
think northward, perhaps to Musco>
da. That road, it would seem, is to
be a sort of joint snake, with way
ward laterals, something like crab.
soy-It is noticeable fact that of
the 200 agricultural, mechanical and
other labor and artistic organs in the
United States, all but two are visibly
republican in politics-because they
can't help it. This fact shows that
the labor interests Of the Country
are identical with republican princi-
Piles.
s@-The best estimates make the
wheat crop of California for the pres
ent year twenty millions Of bushels,
the barley crop ten millions OF bush
els, and the crop OF oats two and a
half millions Of bushels. Some anxi-
ETY. is expressed that there will be q
deficient tonnage for the export of
-four and grain.
The Louisville Courier says a
merchant of that city has for some
months been experimenting with q
flying machine, which he expects to
perfect within sixty days. BY this
machine he thinks any person not
weighing over $50 pounds will be
able to fly 90 miles an hour.
DIR. Adam Clarke, who had
strong aversion to pork, was called
upon to say grace at dinner where
| the principle dish was roast pig
He is reported to have said, 80 Lord
if thou canst bless under, the gospel !,
what thou didst curse under the law,
bless tL.a pig"
alt is predicted that 10 the course
of few years the telegraph will, in
q great measure, supersede the Post
Office. In some countries Of Europe
kilograms are now transmitted very
cheap. In Paris the tariff has recent
| iy been reduced to FIVE cents for
twenty words, sent to anywhere
within the city.
