Local BREvITIEs.-We 60 to press
late this week in order to give all hands
a chance to be absorbed" at the Fair.
Now that nomira tons are all made
the Fair over, and nothing Of special in
terest on the programme, we presume the
next thing will be to revive the Literary
Association. 1t can ard should be made
better than ever before.
Another local institution of later date
is the class in clocution, organized by Prof.
Hudson last spring. Most of the class
have books, and an evening (after they are
little longer,) of each week can be very
pleasantly and proftably passed in prac-
tice. AT the close of the term(D the mem
bers might resolve themselves into the
atrical troupe, travel on their-looks, and
get rich. Who knows?
AS we go to press late and our vii
lage readers will receive their paper after
the Fair closes, we will mention that, il
they get out of eatables in the bread, pie,
cake, gingerbread, etc. line, the bakery.
Mr.. z. is an old hand at the business, and
understands it fully. His large oven
bakes beautifully.
This has been lively week. Fair
days, the Exhibition ditto, the Concert on
Thursday, and all the other days occupied
in making preparations. One of our boys
was star actor in the Exhibition, belongs
to the base ball club, and had an interest
in candy stand. besides other duties
really and truly too numerous to mention.
Almost every one else in the village is cor
respondingly busy, and, as we said before,
things IS lively.
Mr.. 0. P. Ashley showed us potato
nine inches long, three and a-half inches
in diameter, and weighing one and a-half
pounds. From one potato, weighing one
and a-third pounds, the yield was half
bushel Of potatoes, weighing twenty-five
pounds. Who can beat it

Rag" The appearance of the three(?
sheet poster of the Dodgeville fair, got ou
by the CHRONICLE is excusable under the
circumstances. The Hon. Secretary hav
ing generously giver the entire fair print
ing to the CHRONICLE, that office is ne
doubt crowded so with work that they
could not give the poster the attention
necessary to make it a respectable job
Tribune.
Some weeks ago we spoke of num-
Der of 3-sheet posters that were expected
from the East in regard to the balloon as
cension, &c. Our sharp neighbors at the
Point at once jumped to the conclusion
that the posters and the 10000 bills, also
mentioned, were to be done in the CHRoN-
IcLE office; and when the 14-sheet Fair
bill that ao0s done here came out they were
worried because it was not 3-sheet poster
and are fearfuly exercised because we
could not give it the " attention necessary
to make.it respectable job" We don't
purpose to handy words in regard to our
facilities for doing or ability to do job
work. But we do feel called upon to say
that we never before printed bill that re-
ceived so much praise as thej Fair bill in
question-from Chicago printers, and men
who are not printers, but whose glasses
are not green with jealousy and envy. The
only place where the job is not appreciated
is in the Tribune office The Hon. Sec
rotary" generously gives his advice to the
editors of that paper, gratis, to mind their
own business and possibly he MAY be able
to attend to his.
