HIS STYLE OF DESCENT Shortly before
Browns Hotel was closed, he was one dav,
as usual, under the influence of benzine, and
stumbled at the head of the stairs leading
from the landing to the front door. Down be
came, heels over head. humping from step to
step, until he was landed in rather pro-
miscuous looking heap. A stranger, who
was just en'ering the hotel. thinking the
fellow had sustained serious if not fatal,
injury, ran to pick him up; but the Drunk
EN- man majestically waved him off, stag.
gered to his feet, and, in response to the
proffered assistance, roared out "Now, you
jes lev me lone. Want no slob'ri round
me. ailus come do,0n stairsthat tody."-
The stranger departed, ruminating.

IMPORTANT DECISION IN BANKRUPT
CY.-The Supreme Court of California has
recently rendered an important decision
affecting bankrupts. The Court holds
that the State law is entirely superseded by
the Act of Congress, passed March 2, 1867,
" establishing uniform system of bank
ruptcy throughout the United States y
which took effect June L, 1867, and that
all proceedings in insolvency in the State
Courts commenced subsequent to that date
are nullity.

TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS,

our paper to-day, give only the matured
results Of the meeting, which as reported
appear to be m, eere The 1mproceed-
ings Of this meeting however are an.
recorded, except in the memory Of those
present aud the influence Of these un-
writton proceedings are felt, rather than
read
One feature, unrecorded in the Secre-
tarys report, was the statement by Mr.
GoLDTHoRP, that the farmers, residing
along the Mfblin road had subscribed
$500 which they were holding out as an
inducemcnt to us to repair that road and
promised if we failed so to do, to appro~
pirate it toward making a road to Bel
mont
Mr.. ILrrLEs estimate in the discussion
on appointing committees to solicit subs
scriptions, that nothing less than
TEN THO ESdND y Oh l. 4 e.
would put our roads in such repair as
is absolutely necessary, may he thought
large and exaggerated by some, but by
those who have full appreciation Of all
the facts, it is deemed sound calculation
We agree with Mr.. LITTLE, that nothing
less than $4,000 will put the roads in
condition that will enable Mineral Point
to compete successfully with her neigh
bors for the traffic Of the surrounding
country.
Admitting this sum to be necessary,
let us see what are our resources Tor
raising it We think it can be shown
that ten thousand dollars ought to be
raised without difficulty, if every prop
erty owner would pay in proportion to
his means.
According to Mr. Bliss assessment Of
the City, iust completed, as shown by
published statement in TRIBUNE Of last
week, the taxable property of the city,
real and personal is nearly $500 600
Ii every property owner IN the city
would subscribe one per- cent OF his as
sessed value, it is seen that the result
would be about eigAt thousa,rS dollars
1t seems that no argument should be
necessary to convince n man owning
$500 worth Of property, that a Subscrlp-
ton of five dollars toward making first
class roads to the city from all directions,
would be n good investment Upon the
condition of the roads, we believe, more
than any other one thing will the
future prosperity of Mineral Point de,
pend, She is surrounded on all sides by
rich and rapidly Improving agricultural
country, which hitherto has cmptlcd its
products into her Zap, because There ha,
been no considerable competition by

this circumstance, Mineral Point has
grown to be the most wealthy and pros-
porous town in South Western Wiscon.
