Tue story recently reported that DIR,
Livingstone, the African explorer had
been killed by the natives in the interior
and burned as a wizard, is doubted by
Sir. Il, Murehison, who is perhaps the
best qualified to Judge Of the truth Of the
report Of any man in Europe He thinks
that it is impossible that Livingstonc
could have reached the country where
his death is said to have occurred at the
time mentioned in the report. 1t is
certainly to be hoped that the report is
false, and that the intrepid explorer is
yet alive, and that he will yet return to
his home and friends.

Strange and Serious Accident.

On Tuesday morning, as Mr.. John D..
Thomas was passing Clemow & Williams
farm, just north of Dodgeville, with his
team going west, he met Daniel Malone OF
Ridgeway, on horseback going east. The
road in that place is q1ite narrow, the
snow having drifted very much in the lane.
Shortly after they met and passed, Mr..
Thomas horses took fright and became
manageable, and though Mr.. I. tried his
best to hold them, they got away from him.
In the squabble they got turned around
and started back on the road, following
Mr.. Malone. Running at tremendous
speed, and Mr.. NJ. not seeing or hearing
them, they ran right on to him, the tongue
of the sleigh striking and running right
into his horse, letting its bowels out, and
killing it almost instantly. Mr.. NJ. was
thrown some distance, but, strange to say,
was very little hurt. Mr.. John Reed,
of Dodgeville, was driving along the
same way as Malone, and talking with
him The horse when struck fell en- Mr..
Reeds sleigh, knocking him off, when
Thomas team ran over him. Strange to
say, be was not killed, but was Only badly
bruised. The whole accident was a very
strange and peculiar one, and it is great
wonder that some one was not killed.

EGy. ACCORDING to announcement in last
weeks issue, the Temperance meeting was
held at the M. E. Church, on Tuesday
evening, the 25th, inst. The church was
we'll warmed and lighted, and filed with
an intelligent and appreciative audience
For some reason the speaker, who was an
nounced to address the meeting, did not
appear, and considerable disappointment
was expressed. The meeting was called
to order by the chairman, Mr.. Hendy.-
Rev. VIM Sturges then opened the meet
ing, making a very neat and appropriate
speech. He regretted much the absence
of the expected speaker.
Rev. j. G. Brainard, of Spring Green,
then addressed the audience in an earnest
and soul stirring appeal to the friends of
temperance; and as he pictured with appal-
ling truthfulness the fearful career of the
poor inebr;ate, it was easy to see he had
gained the sympathy of the audience, as
they listened with profound attention. lie
spoke at considerable length upon the feas-
Utility of legislating upon the great ques-
ton of intemperance; upon the justice OF
making every man responsible for his own
acts. be he drunk or sober. Some plan
must speedily be devised whereby to crush
this horrid monster, Intemperance, which,
ike the deadly simeon, is sweeping over
and devastating our land.
He mentioned the levers that had been
nsed to stem the tide of drunkenness, and
was sorry they had not accomplished more,
which was perhaps ehargeable to there not
being united sufficiently.
The church, unaided and alone, can do
hut little toward checking the onward
march Of this great foe.
The Good Templars, though actively en-
gagged in the warfare, still find themselves
check mated. Civil law has failed, and at
though they are all doing good work,
still they were as pioneers in the great re-
formation; but by consolidating their for
ces they may hope to see victory perch
ID n their banners.
Mrssrs. Van buses and Ryalls then fol-
lowed with few entertaining and instru'-
tive remarks. which greatly enhanced the
interest OF the hour.

ssr We are often asked why we don't !

nag We are often asked why we don't
report the weather, and when we inquire
for local items are told to make local of
the weather. The fact is we can't do the
subject justice, we can't report every
change, and people who are out most of
the time can tell what kind of weather it
is about as well as we can, and it is very
US eless to attempt to report the changes of
the weather in weekly paper when it
changes every day. In fact We have about
come TO the conclusion that
The world is addicted
To all sorts of evil,
And even the seasons
Are playing the devil,
They tumble along
In an uncertain way,
And change in their programme
Each separate day
One moment tits frigid,'
The next it is tcrrid-
A mixture of climate
Exceedingly horrd.
Now wintry SHOWS fall
Now soggy rains plash-
mixture more foul
Than clearinghouse hash.
We propose to take the weather as it
comes and say nothing about it, you pays
your money, and you take your choice.

Az Our citizen" of Avoca, informs
us that one day last week, Charlie Briggs
thought to have little sport with Mr..
Swineheart's colt. He tied board to the
colts tail, and set it loose. The colt Of
course flung around some, and made S, me
very odd motions, pleasing the boy very
much for while, but it finally got on thu
ice, and in. turning fell, and broke its leg
As the colt was valued at about 500 il
was rather dear piece Of sport. Boys
should be careful about carrying their fur
TOO far, they sometimes as it is in thi'
case, have to pay pretty dear for Their
whistle.

rW- In the northern part of this town
there is valley fenced in by high hills,
and rugged rocks. The scenery is wild
and grand, as much so as any other part Oh
this romantic county. The land IS good
but is in small pockets between the bluffs,
and OH the Eill sides. And right up this
valley, in one of ITS pockets, is man
whom hard times cannot etfect,a is in fact
the most independent man we nave SEEM
He is well clothed, and provide we'll for
his family, but neither pays revenue or tar
if. High prices don't effect him. He can
wear just as good clothes with broad Cloth
$40 per yard as he could if it was only 81.
The reader will doubtless be anxious to
know who this wonderful man is, and how
he does it. Well, here is the VIII lie mys-
terry solved in few words. H. name is
Hans Olson and the way he SO indie
pendent is by raising the raw lateral,
and-instead of selling to be ship ed east,
manufactured and returned, AMI sold to
him with large commissions de from
dozens of dealers manufacturing it at
home. He keeps sheep, grows lc wool
spins the yarn and weaves all ii cloth

! He has room set apart for spinning, &C.,
| and It looks like small woolrn factory.
The clothing he turns out is good and

grumbling about high prices and hard
times follow Hans Olson's example, and
they will be independent of everything Of
