s9~ DR.. Mckinley, who has been at
tracing the attention of almost everyone
in this community, has left our village and
will not return until about the the lst of
November. Personally we know nothing
of the doctors ability, but this we do know
that wherever he goes he attracts "crowd
of patients" In a number of instances
he has performed what appears to be wor-
derful cures. The people of Mineral Point
will probably find it to their advantage to
consult the doctors skill, if they should
wish to do so they will find him at the

SERIOUS AccIDENT.-On Saturday last
week c. w. Jenkins, of Madison, was
crossing the Blue River Bridge in the
town of Highland, with load of notions,
perfumery, toilet soaps, &c, when, in con-
sequence of the bad condition of the bridge,
his wagon was turned over into the river.
He succeeded in getting it out, but the
goods were so thoroughly soaked that the
loss will be some over $500. This bridge,
we learn, has been the cause of much
trouble heretofore. Not long since boy
was drowned while attempting to cross 1t,
and it is high time it was repaired or re
built.

WE know there are many who scofrat laugh

WE know there are many who scoffat, laugh
at,and who designate every advertised RENE
dy as "Quackery," "Humbug," and pronounc
them worthless. Such terms cannot be truth
fully applied to the medicinal remedies of
which DR.. H. T. Helmbold, of 594 Broadway,
New York, is proprietor. His ''Fluid Extract
OF Buchu," alone has stood the test of science,
and yet proved valuable. 1t has been subject
to the severe criticism of eminent professors
OF pharmacy, and none of such there are bat
will pronounce it an excellent article, while
many there are who freely recommend it as a
curative agent for all diseases of kidneys and
urinating organs in addition to all this, 1t
has been quarter of a century in existence,
yet its sale is constantly being increased.
There are numberless connections called
Fluid Extract of Buchu, hence our friends, in
buying, should be careful to ask for and get
none other than Helmbold's. DIR. Helmbold' s
drug and chemical warehouse, at 594 Broad
way, N. Y, is one of the lions of that gay
metropolis. Such of our friends who may be
there sojourning should not fail to visit it..
We can assure them kindly welcome from
the Doctor and all his courteous employees.

GROWING OF FOREST TREEs.-The Assessors
of Nebraska, will in accordance with the
law Of the state deduct for the next five years
$l0O from their valuation for each acre
OF forest trees properly planted and cultiva-
ted and fifty dollars for each acre Of fruit
trees. This is wise provision; the grow
ing OF forest trees in prairie countries is not
alone for timber uses but to render the land
less subject to drouth. The Legislature of
wisconsin, passed law at its session one
year ago for encouraging the growth of forest
trees but we do not learn that it has been
productive of that object.

Many years ago, the writer of this notice
and an invalid physician, while visiting the
Island of st. Croix for their health, expert.
enced and witnessed the beneficial effects OF
the Rum there produced on many of the in
vaiids who were, like ourselves seeking health
and upon inquiry and investigation, obtained
a full history OF its medicinal virtues. He
was delighted and surprised, and determined
to make it the basis of a Tonic and Restoras

glorious success for himself and suffering hui
manity. The celebrated PLANTATION BIT
TIERS was thus made known tc the world. Be.
ing an article of real merit, founded On new
principles, and relying wholly on the vegeta-
BILE kingdom for its medicinal effects, it wor-

Thompson and Parkhurst's Concert.

This troupe of vocalists have given three
concerts in this city, and the general verdict
of those who were so fortunate as to be pres
ent on either occasion, is, that Thompson and
Parkhurst troupe surpasses any that ever be-
fore visited this place. In these times, when
there are so many Indifferent concert troupes
travelling about the country, proposing to
give entertainments, it is real luxury to find
one positively enjoyable; such one is Thomp-
son and Parkhurst's.
Mr.. Thompson has richness and compass
OF voice that is rarely equalled. In the song
entitled the Hunter Boy, " his remarkable
control of voice in initiating the echo of the
shepherds pipes among the mountains, has
probably never been surpassed.
Mr.. Parkhurst sings the bass with the
volume and sweetness of q good church or
gan. His exhibitions of the comic are to the
life. and most effectively personated. Mr.:
.Aagulre has tenor voice of great power and
harmony; without him the singing of the
company, would be incomplete. Mr.. Graves
presldes at the organ, and is q skillful per-
former.
we unhesitatingly commend Thompson
ana Parkhurst's Troupe, to all lovers of good
-gocal music.

City Election.

The charter election in this city is close at
hand, yet for some cause unexplained, the
usual activity preceding such an event is not
apparent Heretofore there have usually been
applicants for position, aud anxious expec-
tants. The desire for Office seems to be some
what abated this spring, and how is this to
be accounted for? There are two hypothesis
upon which this condition of things is ex-
plainable. The first is, that the affairs of the
city have been we'll managed during the past
year: that the city funds have been so well
husbanded-so carefully and judicially expen.
ded, and the general interests of the people,
have been cared for so unobjectionably, that
no one is disposed to disturb the good order of
things, but let well enough alone. -
The other hypothesis may be, that the fs-
cal concerns of the city are looked upon as a
little mixed; that the city treasury is not
very plethoric in funds, and that matters are
not in an inviting condition. Which of these
reasons conduces most to the political mae
tivity, we of course, do not pretend to judge
Our city must be differed at the ensuing cleo
ton in April. and it is hoped, the right mer
for the posts to be filled, will be chosen.

prolix and indefinite If the writers know
Mrs. d. and her family to be in need, let them,
