FIRE at BoscoBEL.-We learn from a
private letter and from the ;Boscobel Ap-
peal, that the barn attached to the Ameri-
can House in that place, was discovered
to be on fire about o'clock ..on Friday
morning of last week. The barn with BITS
entire contents, the sheds and the large
hotel were soon enveloped in flames, and
with the exception of the furniture Of the
house,which was removed, all were con-
sumed. Fortunately no horses or other
live stock were in the barn, otherwise they
must have persisted. Mr.. Catlin owner
and occupier of the hotel was fortunately
absent with his team, and DR.. Averilrs
horse, which is usually kept in this barn
was fortunately safe in Watkins stable at
Dodgeville. The loss is estimated at about
$4,000. Insurance on the property to
about 81 900. As no one had been in the
barn for the day, and as there was no poss-
Utility off its catching fire at that hour from
any known cause, it was undo ubtedly the
work of an incendiary.

HOPS! HoPs HoPs Hops, or the ex-
tract of hops, and the ingredients which
are generally compounded with it, has been
the ruin of hundreds of homes, and the
means of desolating hundreds of hearth
stones. But never before was the hop in
fuence so strong, and never before did it
commit such depredations on our homes
and fircsides as it has the past week. In
stead of taking from among US the besot-
ted ;inebriate, the drunkard and the vaga.
bond, it has invaded our quietest and hap
piest homes, and taken the very idols Of
the families. 1t has snatched from among
us the most lovely, the most beautiful and
the most innocent Of our families and com.
munity. II has taken OUR GIRLS, our fair
sweet maidens, just blossoming into wo.
manhood. We hope and trust that tbs
hop season may be short, and that our con
centrated loneliness may speedily be re
turned to the embrace of those who now
mourn their absence.

HThere are probably from 1000 to
1900 Republicans in this county, who do
not take the CHRONICLE, and probably as
many if not more Democrats who seldom
see it. Now we want to make change in
this state Of things, and We see no reason
for not being able to do it. We want ev-
cry Republican in the county who can af-
ford it, to take the CHRONICLE, and pay for
it. Those who cannot afford to pay for it
can have it free, with our best wishes that
they may have better success in future, and
at some time be able to reimburse US.
We are also willing and anxious to in.
crease our list by placing on it as subseri-
bers any number of our Democratic fellow.
citizens in the county. We are at consid-
cradle expense and trouble to procure 10.
cal items of interest to our readers, and
fatter ourselves that they alone are abun
dainty worth the price of the paper. We
are anxious to accomplish all the good VIZ
can, both politically, morally and socially
and would much rather have our paper
meet the eyes of 10000 people than only
! 5000, which is about our present lIInIt.

to be of the eagle species, was wounded
and captured, with some difficulty, on the

measured little less than eight feet sfrom

BURGLARY in BoscoBEL-We learn from
the appeal that on Thursday night of
last week some covetous persons think
ing they might make paying ihaul. took
great pains to enter the house of Mr.. B.
NJ. Coates by Cutting the Stats from the
shutters and raising the sash of the only
windo,o IN the house that soas closed. For
tunately they found nothing save an empty
pocket-book, which they scorned to take.
With little better success they entered
the house of Mr.. j. R. Muffley, securing
there gold watch and about $40 in mon
ey. Mr.. Mufley's pants were taken from
under his head as he lay asleep in bed,
and The pockets rihed.
Mr.. John Ruka's house was also attack
ed, but without much effect. In raising
the window sash, which was fastened down
they made considerable noise, which wa
kened Mr.. Ruka, and the burglars skedad-
died.
The shoe shop ofTaylor & Swartz was
also entered and about IS cents in change
taken from the drawer, so cents of which
was dropped by the thief in his exit.
An attempt was also made to enter Capt.
Limbocker's house, but failed. On the
whole it was poor night for such indus
trious burglars.

This BOILER operates upon purely
philosophical principles.
1t is self.acting, and dispenses entirely
with labor and the wear of clothes.
The hot suds and steam, by the action
of fire, are driven up through tubes, pour
ed upon the clothes, and forced through
with astonishing rapidity, cleansing itwith-
out any rubbing. 1t has been thoroughly
tested, and pronounced unequalled as
Clothes Washer by those who have used
it.
All fabrics, from the finest laces to the
bed blanket, can be washed perfectly and
with ease, without the rubbing board.
For Flannels it Is invaluable, as the rub
bling, rolling and pressing process must
necessarily full them more or less.
1t is truly labor and clothes saving in
vention. Washing will no longer be a
hardship, and washing day no longer ter
ror and dread to housewives.
The invention can be used in any boiler,
and the low price Of the article places it
within the reach of every family.
If the directions are strictly followed,
success will be certain.
The saving in the wear of clothes will
very soon pay for the outlay.
1t is estimated that 200 to 300 gallons of
boiling suds pass through the clothes in
80 minutes this is the longest time re-
quired for cleansing boiler full Of clothes.
CAUTION.
The substantial idea of this invention,
is that of causing circulation within the
boiler by producing partial vacuum IN
der the body of the clothes, and transfer
ring the water to the upper side of them,
for the purpose of keeping up constant
circulation of water through the clothes to
free them from the dirt. The method
by which it is done being innaterial, as
the invention covers all notifications Of
the devices used to accomplish the result
that is, the causing rapid circulation Of
the water through the clothes.
The public are hereby cautioned against
making, buying, selling or using any self
| acting wash boiler constructed upon this
principle, unless purchased of authorized
parties.
Parties using or dealing in infringements
are liable to damages to the same extent
as manufacturers.

every effort was made to save them. The
