A VISIT TO THE IOWA COUNTY TROUT POND

VISIT TO THE IOWA COUNTY TROUT POND.
During our recent trip through the town
Of Wyoming, we called on friend Lowrey,
who kindly showed US his Trout pond,
ond explained in part the marvels and
mysteries Of fish culture, which to us was
particularly interesting and altogether Gu
rious, having never before seen anything
of the kind. Everything pertaining to the
fishery is arranged with nicely and taste,
though as yet not perfected, having only
started the pond some two. years ago.
Constant improvements are being made,
and we predict, at some future time, the
owners efforts will be crowned with per-
feet success. Mr.. Lowrey is the first pisci-
culturist in our county, and when we take
into consideration the almost extermina-
ton of fish in our streams every season,
the constant growing scarcity Of the arti-
Gle for Our tables, the great expense atten-
ding the starting of fish pond, and the
almost insurmountable difficulties attend
ing the raising of the small fish, ge think
that Mr.. Lowrey deserves great credit.
And we will now follow our guide where
he conducts US to pond of clear, cold
spring water in which he keeps his fish.
They are very tame, and by moving the
water they will come to the surface and
nibble at the visitors fingers. There is a
race connected with this pond, and the
race is well supplied with gravel here the
fish come to spawn. At the end nearest
the pond where the fish are kept, is a trap
door when sufficient Ash are in the race
for the purpose wanted, the trap door is
thrown down. He then takes his small
net and with an unerring eye selects a fe-
male that is ready to give up her eggs he
then puts her in a pail that has been pre-
viously half filled with water, repeats the
process until he has sufficient number,
after which he takes them to the fish
house AMI puts them in trough that has
been prepared for their reception; tin
pan is then procured with about quart of
water He thea takes the fish firmly by
the head in the left hand, the right loosely
encircling the body near the tail, then
lightly congresses the teeay, passing ~

Congressional Districts.


As the time for the meeting of the Leg
islature draws near, wheh the State is to
be redistricted and the limits Of the new
Congressional Districts defined, the people
are taking considerable interest in the
matter, and every party and locality is on
the look-ou to see that it receives justice.
The Milwaukee Sentinel publishes map
dividing the State into eight Congression-
al Districts. The following counties
Grant, Iowa, Sank, Richland. Crawford
and Vernon, comprise the First; Green,
La Fayette, Rock, and Dane, the Second
Walworth, Kenosha, Racine, Waukesha
and Jefferson, the Third Milwaukee
OzauGee, and Washington, the Fourth
Columbia, Dodge, Fond du Lac, and Gi eer
Lake, the Fifth; Sheboygan, Manitowoc
Calumet, Kewaunee. and Door, the Sixth
Oconto, Shawano, Brown, Outagamie
Waupaca, Waushara, Marquette, Adams
Juneau, Wood, Portage, and Marathon
the Seventh--and the Eighth begins a
La Crosse, runs east, including Monroe
and directly north from there to Lake Su
perior, including all counties west to the
Minnesota Line.
Taking the vote for Governor last year
Is indicating the politics of the Districts,
this gives the democrats the Fourth and
Fifth, while the republicans have ss4 ma
jority in the Third BIG majority in the
Sixth; 54S majority in the Seventh-a and
from three to five. thousand republican
majority in each of the First, Second, and

TION OF COMPOUND EXTRACT BUCHU. The
component parts are, BUCHU LONG LEAF, CUBEBS,
JUNIPER BERRIES.
MODE OF pREpARATIoN.-Buchu, in vacna Juniper
Berries, by distllation to form a fine gin. Cubebs
extracted by displacement with spirits obtained
from Juniper Berries; very little sugar is used and
small proportion of spirit. 1t is more paatable
than any now in use.
Buchu prepared by Druggists, is of dark
color. 1t is plant that emits its fragrance the
action of flame destroys this (its active prnciple)
leaving q dark and glutinOus decoction line is
the color of ingredients The Buchu in my prepare
ton predominates the smallest quanty of the other
ingredients added, to prevent fermentation; up
on inspection it will be found not to be Tlncture
as made in Pharmacopoea nor is it a Syrup-and
therefore can be used in where fever or infa
nation exists. In this, you have the knowledge of
the Ingredients and the mode of preparation.
Hoping that you will favor it with a trial, and
that upon inspection it will meet with your appro-
baton.
With feeling of profound onfdence.

We copy the following account of the fire
at Trunkeyville from the Tidioute Journal o.
Sept. %:
At half past eight o'clock last evening, q
long train Of cars we're being filled at
Trunkeyville, on Granding d Neyhart's
siding.
Some thirty-five cars were being loaded.
when Ed. Rocksfellow, brakesman on the
switch engine which was shifting the care,
passed with his lantern by the train. Just
at that moment tank ran over, and the
oil spray fell upon him, communicating
with the lantern and instantly setting fire
to the train, and burning him severely.
With grear energy aud promptness, wor.
thy of oil credit, George Elmer, the engi-
neer and Robert Fulton, dispatcher, moved
the loaded cars not yet on fire out of the
way, and saved oil but five, which burned
up.
Tne oil ran down to the river, burning
ties, twisting rails, and destroying two
buildings, the old depot and the old Ven
ture Hotel.
