fW- Night before last old Boreas was
"on the rampage" and we are afraid but
few witnessed the beautiful appearance the
moon presented The whole sky shone
with a cold metallic lustre-around the
moon extended circle of light that glowed
with the brilliancy of the aurora Bereal-
s,' and shot arrows of light in all direc
tions, while fiery cross was distinctly
visible extending from the moon to the
circle surrounding it. The earth in her
white vestmcnt reflected back the light and
far as the eye could reach there was moth
ing but moonlight and starlight and crys-
tai seas" The air was filled for time
with floating particles of frost that SHIN
mered and glittered and danced hither and
thither like crystalized moenbeams.
The superstitious might be inclined to
regard the phenomena as an omen of some
terrible event, but as the inhabitants of
the Arctic regions are visited nightly with
such demonstrations and continue to live
and dispose of their customary amount of
"blubber," we are constrained to believe
that we are threatened with nothing more
serious than severely cold weather

From John Strachan, Mineral Point, Wis.,
a0ent for the Rockford & Van Brunt
,Seeders.
A certain notice appeared in this paper which we
will answer as follows:
First i am receiving daily large number OF Van
Brunt & Rockford Seeders, and am now ready to de-
liver machines all who have bought or is about to
buy before the roads get bad in Spring.
Second. am the authorized agent for the van
BruBt seeder from Horizon, Wis. now, and always
have been.
Third, We have Iettor from Mr.. Van Brunt which
says he does not know any such man a5 TrowbrIdge
or his agent.
Fourth, Beware Of all such agents. They claim to
be agents for the Van Brnnt to aid them in fosting
in ferior machines upon the unsuspecting at time OF
delivery by holding your orders until eur machines
are all sold. Any who may Lave ordered machine
of these agents with the intention Of getting Van
Brunt, had better haveth changed a once.
Fifth, We have just received ffrty machines ut
Mineral Point and forty at Patteville, direct from
Mr. Van Brunt of Horizon, and as he ships his ma
chimes to this proves to all the premeditated es
told by other gents that we were not the agents for
those machines.
Sixth, All who may have doubt can call and see
the large number of machines arriving at Mineral
Point and other parts, and no machine arriving ior
any other.
The Rockford Seeder.

ing parties into buying their inferior machines

Eighth To avoid prosecution, they give no name
to the parties who build The seeders in Rockford

Ninth That those reports are gotten up by unPrin-
cped men to aid them in selling oh"r machines.
There cannot be a doubt Mr. NANNY has never heard
~ .,v sneh notice from Van Brnnt, and his large
experience in patents, and the same seeder be has
built for thr years. makes the notice still more RI
diculOus.
Tealb. Mr.. Nanny to prove that his rights are
nerfect will give guarantee, endorsed by himself
and other responsible parties. If necessary, OF ten
thousand 30 oO0 dollars TO each and every purchaser

LEAD MINES AT Fox bAKE-The Fox
Lake Representatice has the following in
regard to the lead mines there: ...
We learn that new and apparently rich
ada Island, near this village, on the prem
iscs of Mr.. John Millinmine. In drilling
a well last week, The drill struck vein Of
lead at the depth of forty feet from the
surface The vein is three feet in thick
ness and of course of unknown extent.
The pulverized rock brought up by the
drill, of which we have sample. is heavi-
ly impregnated with lead, containing pro-
bablv so per cent. of the pure metal.
Mr.. Wells, one of the parties engaged in
sinking the shafts on the north shore of
the lake, has been absent for several weeks,
making arrangements and moving his fam
lily TO this village. During his absence the
workmen employed in the shaft encoun-
tered so much water that they were COM
PEELED to suspend operations. Upon his
return Mr.. Wells found some Is feet OF
water in the shaft and the neighbors using
it as a well--nearly all the wells in that
vicinity having failed The shaft is now
down to within seven feet of the vein, as
indicated by the drill A pump is now
being put in, and the work will go on Wig
oronsly.
We would say in this connection that
the company which have leased these lands
though having other mineral interests to
look after, have by no means lost faith in,
or thought Of abandoning these "diggins." !"
