While TRAVELLING through the town of
Clyde, the past week, We observed many
things worthy of note, among which was
the general thrift of the farmers. Consid-
ering the smallness and the roughness of
this town, it is really wonder that there
is any enterprise at all. Clyde Is the
smallest town in the county, and is situa-
ted Immediately on both sides of Otter
Creek, one of the fnest.Mill and Factory
streams in the whole county but the
land is very broken and consequently not
very good for farming.
The town Of Clyde contains 80 square
miles, l19 farm houses, two Grist mills,
five School houses, one church and more
bridges than any other town in the county.
These bridges have cost the town ofClyde
an en- ormous sum of money; one of them
cost one thousand five hundred dollars,
another four hundred dollars, and another
two hundred dollars. The county appropri-
ated five hundred dollars to assist in the
building of these bridges, and that is all
the help the town of Clyde has had These
bridges have all been built by The town,
excepting the one above referred to-.
They have not had the help they ought to
have had, for these bridges are almost
wholly for the use and accommodation of
adjoining towns and the public generally.
We found the people wide-awake, and
Industrious, all seemed hopeful Of better
times and alive to any railroad prospects.
Many appear to have a great desire for
the extension Of said road through their
town, and no doubt when the proper time
comes, Clyde will do her part in the great
work.
The grist mills Of Martell & Pearcy are
second to none in the county for giving
satisfaction. ..... ...t
Frost AMI Bourgault also have good
| MILL This is new firm, but they are
| growing in favor with the people. This
is as it should be, for better, genial, good
hearted men than Charley and Peter can't
be found in the county we know, for we
found them at home and "broke bread with
Them
Quite number of the people of the
above town, take and pay for the CHRoNI-
Gle, which is proof positive in our minds,
that they are progressing in the right
way. -.. r. W. LEWIS.

RIDGEWAY.

EDITORS CHRONICLE Il read short
time ago two articles that were published
in the CHRONICLE, concerning the mutila-
ton of the tombstone that marks the last
resting place of Mr.. Roberts, Of this place
I also read the denial Of the last writer
Now, Mr. Editor, what wish to say, is
to corroborate Observer" For the
stone has been damaged, and any one can
see it that wishes to take the trouble.
About year ago the stone was thrown
down, evidently by violent hands, as the
stone was we'll ccmented and bolted with a
long iron bolt to the base. Ttrequired five
men to replace the stone; so that it was
impossible for the wind TO blow it over, or
for it to fall on its own account. In Octo-
Der last the grave received another visit,
at which time the mutilation took place !;
the mason's emblem being broken off.
Now the idea of frost lifting it off seems
very strange to me and, am not salts
fed with that statement, because | do not
think the frost did the mischief. But sup
pose it did; any man of common sense
knows the frost did not throw the slab
down, nor yet scratch or deface it.. If
any one doubts the truth of this state
:nent, I can refer them to those who help
ed to replace the stone. will also pay
one hundred dollars to any one furnishing
reliable information as to who did the mis-
chief SAMUEL ROBERTS.

LINDEN.
Location, Scenery, Churches, Min
ing, and Agriculture.

That portion Of Wisconsin, which com
prises a part of the lead mining region,
has long been noted for it's beautiful and
romantic scenery agreeably diversified as
it is, with its rolling prairies and pictur-
esque spots of wood land. -.
Though all is fair, no portion of it is
more beautiful and pleasing to the eye
than that part which forms the township
of Lin;ien.
The pleasant village known by the APP
pclation of Linden, is situated about three
miles and ahalf south from the military road
leading from Madison to Prairie du Chen;
and about eight miles in little south of west
direction, from Dodgeville, the county seat
of Iowa county.
The village stands on knoll, which
slopes gently towards the south east, at its
foot, little stream courses along; around
about it stands growth of young timber,
which shield it from the cold winds of win
ter, and whose shade furnishes a delight
full place of resort during the warm days
of summer. From its streets looking
south and west, fine view is obtained, of
hills and dales, intersected with fields and
patches of timber, over all of which has
been thrown the variegated mantle of
spring. In the dim distance, the massive
bluffs of the Pecatonica loom up, and
stand enveloped with a blush halo vast
monuments of the eternal.
We have said the village is pleasant. 1t
is made so, not only by its location, but
by the people, who make it their home.
Seldom arc there any brawls; rarely is a
drunken man seen staggering along its
streets; peace and good order are charac-
teristic of the place. The Sabbath is fifty
observed, with but few exceptions, all the

,aist Church will convene here Already

odist Church will convene here. Already
the good women of the village have com
menced preparations for the entertainment
of those who are expected to be present.
Here, Galena is no longer king; its
scepter is broken, its glory departed. The
splashing of water wheels, the puff of en-
gines, the clanking of pumps, is heard no
more. The wheels are becoming moss
covered the engines have sought more
congenial climes; the pumps are becoming
rusty from exposure, and scarcely nothing
now remains to remind US of the time,
when our village was the head center OF
miners.
The cause of this dullness is not be-
cause the mines are exhausted, but, by
reason of the withdrawal of capital by
eastern capitalists. They, supposing that
g larger percentage can be made by In
vesting in the gold and silver mines OF the
western territory. m
Some day in the not far distant future
they will realize that it is equally as profit
able and more safe to invest in the lead
mines of Wisconsin, than in those glitter
ing bubbles of the west, which now at
tract their attention. When that day
comes. Galena will perhaps again sway the
scepter over our community.
At present, agriculture monopolizes at
tention. The older miners have forsaken
mining, and settled down as farmers.
And the hands which formerly welded the
pick and shovel, now guide the pillow.
And the crops raised by them prove con-
clusively that they are successful in their
new vocation. WALTER TOWNSEND.
