Ra- Bishop & Narveson, Dry Goods
and Grocery merchants Of this village, are
perfect models of acute business men.
While other men are holding themselves
up on tip-toe. to their old fashioned, old
fogy, 25 per cent profit or no sale, and
their goods turning grey from age, this
enterprising firm have given public notice
throughout the county, that they are sell.
ing all their goods at Cost, and the way
the goods are going out from their store,
is perfect terror to the other merchants.
They only commenced selling at cost on
Monday last, and up to this time there
appears to have been more business ir
Dodgeville than Cor any previous month.

American Insurance Co., of
4 @ Chicago, Ill.
Chartered 1855.

We herewith present condensed state
ment OF the business of the American In
surance Company, Of Chicago, Illinois.
which will serve not only to illustrate the
feasibility Of the Installment plan of insnr-
ance, as applied to the risks taken by the
Company, but to show in some sense the
eminent success TO which 1t may be carried.
For the six months ending March goth,
of this year, the amount Of installments
received reached the sum of $52,3S7 81,
while the first cash instalments amounted
to $l3, $50 81. It will be remembered
that dwelling houses, farm property.
churches, and school houses are the only
class OF property upon which the Ameri.
can effects insurance.
Since January last the Company has
added $45,0oe to its paid paid up capital,
which now amounts to $4,000, &l05, 76S
of which is loaned on unencumbered real
estate with double the amount of the loans,
and the balance is invested In government
bonds, national bank stocks, and other
frs. class securities. All other accumula-
tons Of the company amount to Sl7O,0O0,
which added to the cash capital swells its
gross assets to the sum of $4,000
The American has recently complied
with the laws Of Wisconsin, and secured
the services Of g. P. Whitford and Col. II
G. Peffron, as State agents for the State Of
| Wisconsin, both practical Insurance men.
| Reasoning from the business the conpa-
nv has achieved in Illinois, we shall not
| be surprised to learn that tie American

pany Of the country, III the volume OF its
receipts. Upon the Installment plan .

paid in Ave equal annual payments. Upor

at their session this week that deserves
the united thanks of the tax payers Of the

The county board is the only prope,
party to deal with this question, and the
matter should only be attended to in full

Social opinion is like sharp
knife. There are foolish people who
regard it with terror, and dare not
touch or NEEDLE with it; there are
more foolish people who, in rashness
or defiance, seize it by the blade, and
get cut for their pains, and there are
wise people who grasp it discreetly and
boldly by the handle, and use 1t to
carve out their own purposes:

TIE UNKNOWN ANlxAL.-This Bug was
here on Tuesday, last. 1t is not q bug
either, but it's - yes, that's just what
it is. 1t has horns, but it is not moose,
elk, buffalo, cow, bull, or devil. 1t has
cioven hoofs, but it is not sheep, goat, OK,
or turkey -buzzard. It has hump on its
back, but it is not camel, dromedary, or
census-taker; but it may. possibly, be one
of John Bunyan's characters--oad Hurch-
back. It has short hind legs and long
fore legs. but it is not giraffe. or Mem
Der Of Congress, and its neck is q contina-
alton efits foreIegs. 1t has long ears, but
it is not donkey. mule, or editor OF
democratic newspaper. It has tail like
a toad, or frog after it has been promoted
from a tad-pole. 1t cannot get its head to
the ground no more than it can get its tail
to the sky. 1t is cultivated at the foot OF
the Rocky mountains, and reaches down
and cats brush from the tops Of the trees
that grow on the mountains. 1t can only
live in wild, mountainous country; as
that greatly facilitates its habits of getting
its food. The country about Dodgeville is
so level that 1t was very difficult to feed it
while here, SO they moved it to Mineral
Pointl 1t lives altogether on cord wood
and other heavy timber. During the day
and night it was here they fed it Oh cord
wood, stick at time, by loading them
into the cannon and shooting the billets
straight up within its reach. 9ea.
This animal is kept by Mr.. Ladd, who
is travelling with it for the purpose Of find.
ing name for it. He will permit any
one to name it for IS cents. We called it
Rackunimooselkion tiocehossepussybug
Mr.. Ladd thought at first that it might
possibly be one of them, but if it was he
could soon tell !; for they couldn't climb 8
tree backward. So he led this animal W
to the. center pole of his pavilion, and as
it made no effort to clint. but bit the pole
off and swallowed the lower part of it, Mr.
Laid thought it must be one Of them. II
it turns out not to be the animal that Mr.
Laid thinks it is, there is only one of two
other things 1t can be, and that is, it is
either Fenian or the thing that Lucifer
slid down from heaven on!
