Dodgeville chronicle. [volume] (Dodgeville, Wis.) 1862-current, 1870-06-17

a
nent soldier of the war, Brigadier Gen
eral w. Ell. FL. Davis 1t is proposed by
the association to visit on the 18th, en-
noasse, the old site of the University at
I Norwich, and this is by no means the
least attractive part of the programme.
A SHORT time ago, as train from the
Union Stock Yards to Chicago, on the
Fort Wayne 81 Chicago Railroad, was
passing round curve, the engineer blew
his whistle for The brakes to be put on,
and the train soon came to stop but not
until the engine had run over what ap-
peared to be a man. The engine backed
| up, some of the passengers rushed OUT
few of the ladies tainted, and great ex-
element prevailed. But all fears were
dispelled by the discovery that the cars
had only passed over cast-oH suit of
clothes, stuffed with straw.
LAST month, in an English court, legal
matter was proposed to stand over till the
LIST of June, when some one exclaimed, in
horror, "Wby, that's the Derbyl" Calm
ly and majestically the response came
The court knows nothing of the Derby
Day-but makes it the I'd of June" This
reminds one of the scene between Pater-
familias and Young Hopeful reading the
| paper. am surprised, Charles" says
the former, that you should encourage
such brutal sport as fighting. That
| paper contains the fullest account, doesn't
it, Of the contest between Sayers and
Heenan I'LL trouble you for it as soon
as you can spare it"
THE Worcester Spy says: 2" Two boot
blacks got into dispute on the street
yesterday, as to which of them could give
boot the best shine The one who
was beaten determined to be champion in
something, and, taking a threaded needle,
he pinched up a large piece of flesh on
one leg, and triumphantly drew the
needle and thread through; to be beaten
would never do for the champion shine
so he took the needle, and, placing it in
his mouth, he forced it through the cheek
and pulled it through from the outside.
This ended the strife and the audience
dispersed"
AS train of cars was leaving West
Rutland, VT, few days since, the engi-
neer, Chas. McKeough, saw man on the
track He whistled for the brakes and
shut off steam. Seeing that the man
paid no attention, McKeough kicked
open the door or window of the cab and
went to the front of the engine, near the
headlight, and, as the engine was about to
strike the man, he caught him by the hair
of his head and lifted him upon the en-
CINE under the headlight, and held him
there until the train could be stopped,
which was not done until it had gone
about enty rods. His name was George
Wise. He was deaf and did not hear the
engine or whistle.
MARGARET DEBAUGH, of Harrisburgh,
Pa, aged -, was bitten by small dog on
one of her fingers, several weeks ago. No
inconvenience was felt from the wound
after it healed until the 9th ult., when
she felt pinching sensation in the arm,
extending from the finger-tip to the
shoulder. On the Goth, she became fear
fully afflicted. She foamed much at the
mouth, exhibited great nervous irritability,
breathed with much difficulty, and ap-
pealed piteously to those about her to
keep at a distance, as if fearfulthat she
might do them personal injury. During
one OF her spasms dog entered the
room in which she was lying. As soon
as her eyes fell on the animal she became
perfectly furious, and not until it was re-
moved did her agitated feelings undergo a
subsistence. The sight of water also in
| creased the violence of her commissions
From the time she got the first severe
spasms until drugs were administered she
was tied to a rocking chair. Occasionally
she would spring up violently, carrying
the chair with her, although held by q
gentleman. When her agitated feelings
were subdued, she was laid on sofa, to
which she was secured until she died.
