p@- One of the most beautiful monu-
ments ever got up in this county, has just
been completed by Shepard & Bush, of
Mineral Point. 1t is on the order of Mr..
Gilbert Barrels, of Mifflin, and is to mark
the last resting splace of the earthly re.
mains OF his two children. 1t is shaft
of the best Italian Marble, ten feet in
height. 1t is two feet square at the base,
and is polished and lettered in the most
beautiful style. This firm is rapidly gain
ing ground in this part Of the State.
They employ the best of workmen, and
nothing is allowed to leave their shop un-
less it is finished in frstclass style, and
gives satisfaction. This in great meas
ure accounts for their rapidly increasing
business, which is extending over Iowa,
Grant and La Fayette counties. The fur.
niture dealers of the county appreciate
their work. We were shown a beautiful
set of marble top bedroom furniture,
their work, for the enterprising gentleman,
Ellingen Bro, of Mineral Point. This
alone is guarantee that work from their
establishment is of the very best quality.

MISCELLANY.
An Elephant ana u Bridge


From The Montreal start
The well known sagacty of the elephant
recently had a remarkable eXemplineatlon al
st. John, In the province of Quebec. The
Immense CevIon elephant belonging to Camp
bells menagerie and circus, which was to ex-
hibit in Montreal, was the hero. We will
premise our statement with the fact that. A
few weeks since, while travelling from Wa
terbury to Mortified, In the State of Yer
mont, this elephant in crossing a bridge over
a creek, crushed the floor With his enormous
weight, and ieii partly through, his fore quar-
tiers only remaining on the bridge. By this ac-
ciaent ne was famed tor several days, but no!
ss Ell to prevent him from travelling.
len ne was brought TO the long bridge over
the hlcheleu river at st. John, he evidently
retained vivid recollection of the nishap,
ana neither coaxing, threats, persuasion nor
force, could induce him TO bulge an inch on
the TO. him nerilous structure. Nor does 1t ap-
pear that his apprehensions were uniounded;
for the propreiors OF the bridge notified the
menagerie managers that they were dubious
OF tne capacity OF the bridge to bear the
weight o. tie elephant, and thas il they cross
ed aim they must do SO at their own risk
The morning was r4ther chilly, and as they
did not wish TO Iisk his health by swimminS
they concluded 10 make the venture.
The band chariot and an enormous den of
performing lions were started ON ahead of
hlm IN order to give him confidence, and
when he saw that they went safely over,
ne was induced TO follow, which he did very
Slowly, testing each plank and timber with
ms fore feet and trunk as he progressed.
Whenever he discovered any of the timber,
10 be defective he would cross over the divis
Ion to the opposite roadway, and would so
progress until he came TO another doubtful
place, when he would cross back again. Ee'

more than half way over, when he became
suspicious that neither road was safe, and
siarttd rapidly back, driving back the long
dens OF cages that were following, and cleai-
ing the bridge for the space of len or more
rods. At this junciure flock of sheep
came running past him and he vented his
spleen by picking them up one by one with
his trunk and throwing them into the river,
until he had disposed of seven in this way.
ne was finally induced to go on, and. after
having Deen more than two hours in cross
ing, arrived safely over. The scene was wit
messed by over two thousand people, and the
utmost excitement prevailed;

A BALLOON IN THE MAINE WILDERNESS
King, the celebrated eronaut, has been taking
a balloon trip through Northern Maine Dark
ness having come on while he was yet in the
air, light was discovered glimmering in the
distance in the general direction in which the
balloon was going. From this point we will
let Mr.. King speak for himself:
Over with the anchor, and in momont
more we fiud ourselves swinging by the anchor
rope over newly cleared field, among the
stumps and logs. We had landed in the only
inhabited spot within 20 miles. near a saw-mil
on the Oromucto River. The people who run
the mill lived near by, and it was from their
window that we saw the light. Wishing for
some assistance to remove the balloon to
smoother ground, if possible, before letting the
gas out, we remained in the car, and taking
up my speaking trumpet L halloed, but the
uneafthly sjund was adding terror to the al
ready frightened inhabitants. One man. how
ever, a little Drawer than the rest, ventured out
after awhile, and inquired what is it anyhow?
BY dint of explanation and persuasion. we
succeeded in getting him to come to u.s. Civ
Ing him line that was attached to the car he
was requested to make it fast to a certain log
to prevent the balloon from swaying about till
we could get more help. Becoming impressed
with The idea that our lives were in dancer
anu that our safety depended on him, he froze'
TO t1at rope ia wonderful manner. 1t was a
little short and, though he tried hard to make
it fast every time the balloon would SETTLE.
still he could not get it fastened. Then the
balloon would rise, and up he would 90 20 feet
or more, ana dowa again to try the same thing
over, but he soon began to feel exhausted and
remembering his companions, broke out with:
sly! you blasted, golldumored, cowardly
sneaHs, come out and help me; the darped
thing III Kill meP' This started them soon:
five others made their appearance and assisted
in moving the balloon 10 better place. The
first they knew CT the balloon was from one of
the women vino was just returning from milk
iLg, seeing the monster just above her, and de-
scendinG, she dropped her pail and fled TO the
house, screaming III the most frantic manner;
1wAen asked the matter, she could only reply.
"Ol, It's a forerunner! l know it's forerun-
ner9' In this baclswoods place they had new
er heard Of a balloon, and many were the won
deIs and suTmises as to the meaning of our
strange appearance among them. The oldest
man OF them all, however, seemed to have hit
upon toe right idea, and coming up to me, in
a jocose way says he: "Ah! yeer skeedad-
lers! shook my head, and, pointing to the
balloon, he asked. "3ow many more is there
UP II tha' Ter? 1t didn't take so big a coach
to bring SO few OF YEP" He was induced to
change his mind at last, when 'sbig COACH

Probably never before in the whole history of

upon the confidence Of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series of years, and among most of the races Of
men has risen higher and higher in their estima.
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
Of the lungs and throat have made it known as q re.
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mder forms of disease and to young children it is
at the same time the most c1ectual remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dan.
gerOus affections of the throat and lungs. AS pro.
vision against sudden attacks of Croisp, it Should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, ali
should be provided with this antidote for them
Although settled Consumption is thought in.
durable, still great numbers Of cases where the dis.
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry Pectoral. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders Of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth.
ing else could reach them, under the CHERRY Pee
t0rGt they subside and disappear.
SINGERS and Public Speakers find great pro.
asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it. '
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry PecfOral in small and frequent doses,
So generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here or do more
than assure the public that its qualities are fully
maintained.
