- The new party" bubble appears
to have burst. Those who attempted to
start it are asham ID Of themselves, and il
now rather hard to find anybody who
had the least idea of starting new party.
The object of the new party-revenue re-
form-is all we'll enough but there is not
many men who have worked with the re-
publican party during its struggle for the
nations life, and witnessed it's success ev-
cry time, that do not think it is equal to
the task of revenue reform. 1t has crap
pied greater diff ;ulties, and has success
fully over come them, and is it necessary
to disband and form new party for the
purpose of etfecting few alterations and
improvements in the revenue system. We
believe not, for we believe the republican
party is equal to the emergency, and when
the proper time arrives will take the stand
as she has in times past-for the right,
and an the side of the people, guaranteeing
the greatest good to the greatest number

neg Last Sabbath evening DR.. Jackson
preached in tAe P. NJ. church, of this
place, to large and attentive audience
His subject was the second coming Of Christ
and the contamination of al. things. As
the preacher warmed with the subject, he
became eloquent, grand, and impressive
and as he contemplated the unknown
world and the end of this, the people were
evidently with the minister. During
his discourse he stated that Christ would
come, but when, no man could tell though
many had pretended to tell his coming for
many years, and as many times failed
The application was pointed and forcible.
The discourse was in no way stereotyped,
but philosophy and religion went hand in
hand throughout the sermon.

nW Needing . new harness TO

IA Needing new harness = few
months ago, we made inquiry - 10 the
price of such an one AZ we needed atSthe
various harness shops in the county, and
found we could do better at the establish
ment of Charles H. Lanyon, on Commerce
street, Mineral Point, than at any other
place we accordingly gave our order.
When we called the harness was done
and ready for US. We were we'll pleasedwith
it, finding it fully up to agreement in eve
ry particular. 1t has now been in use for
a couple of months, and to all appearance
is well made, substantial harness, the
stock being the very best. Mr.. Lsnyon
keeps constantly on hand full stock of
all kinds of harnesses, saddles, brides,
whips, &c., also, trunks and talises he
has nice lot of ladies' and gents sachels
and fancy bags, suitable for holiday pres
ents. Mr.. L. is an obliging gentleman

FATAL ACCIDENT are SORRY to
have to chronicle the following accident by
which one of our much respected citizens
lost his life. On Tuesday last, as Mr.. Toll
left Syvertson, Norwegian farmer who
resides about five miles west of this vii
lage, in the town of Linden, was leaving
Mineral Point with load of lumber, his
horses, which by the way, are very high
lifed, fiery animals, became unmanageable
and dashed down the hill on the Linden
road, near Spensely's furnace, at furious
rate. Messrs. Spensely and Dunn hearing
the noise and seeing the team rush over
the road across the bottom without driv-
er, Immediately started up the hill, and
found Mr.. Syvertson laying on the bridge
quite dead. His head was terribly man.
gled, the skull broken in two or three
places, and the brains oozing out, and his
left arm broken near the shoulder. 1t is
thought he fell in front of the wagon and
the wheels passed over his head and arm.
He was taken to Mineral Point where a
post mortem examination was held. Mr.
Syvertson was an intelligent, wel-to-do,
and highly respected citizen. He, howev-
er, sometimes INDUCED in intoxicating
drink, and we learn, had been drinking du-
ring the day of the accident, and was prob
ably intoxicated when he started for home.
He leaves wife and several children.

ew- An impression prevails that after
the lst of October stamps were not re-
quired on checks and drafts for less sum
than 500. This is not the case, as the
law affords such relief only in the repeal
of the stamp tax imposed on promissory
notes for less sum than 800, and on-re-
ceipt for any sum Of money or for the
payment OF any debt. Nor will any stamp
be required upon the transfer or assign
ment Of a mortgage when it or the instru-
meH it secures has been once duly
stamped.

W We are sorry to hear that Mr..
VIM Holmes, of Miflin, was attacked and
considerably injured by ferocious boar,
one day this week. He was fixing the
pen in which the hog was confined, when
the boar made at him, biting and tearing
him very severely, especially about one OF
his knees. Mr.. Holmes screams attracted
some men who were passing, and who i'm
mediately ran to his assistance. Other
wise the ferocious animal would probably
have killed him.
