Mr.. JosErH HARRIS, residing near Hazel
Green, has recently lost twelve handsome
bloodcd cattle. He pastured his hogs in n
corn field, and afterwards fed the stalks TO
the cattle. Mr. Vessey, a farricr Of Ga.
lena, who examined the stomachs Of sever
al Of the animals, thinks the deaths were oc-
casoned by inflammation Of the stomach and
intestines from eating 50 much green tod,
der; and that perhaps the matter was az.
gravated BY the saliva from the mouths Of
tie hogs, which is now generally consider
ed poisonous to other animals.

MINERAL POINT WISCONSIN, THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 2 1871 New Sc

FAREWELL SERMoN.--On Sunday
morning next, Rev. d W. CorcH will
preach his last sermon as pastor Of the N.
+, Church Of this city. For three years Mr..
CoucH has been pastor of this Church, and
by his fine powers and earnest Christian
zeal his pleasing social qualities and high
moral character, has won the esteem and
friendship of not only his Church and con.
gregation, but of the entire community.
Under his minstraton the membership of
the Church has been largely increased, and
its Christianity elevated. To Mr. CoucH,
more perhaps than to any other man, is due
credit for the completion of the magnti
cent edifce OF which all our people are so
justly proud. From the time be entered
upon the charge three years ago to the
present, the completion of the Church be-
fore the close of his ministry seemed to
be a selfmposed task which he was deter
mined to accomplish. Besides attending
to his duties as minister, he was daily busy
in some way assisting in pushing the con
struction of the building AS solicitor
and collector of subscriptions as overseer
of workmen; as general superintendent or
| inspector, or in some other capacity he was
constantly employed, and always to some
purpose.
! The Conference that sent Mr. CoucH to
this charge three years ago evidently
| knew what kind of a man was needed here.
! We much doubt if there could have been
! found in the Conference another minister
so well fitted for the place. He has been
severely tried and never found wanting.
Wherever his lot may fall in future, he,
and his estmable family, will bear with
them the affections and esteem of the people
Of Mineral Point, in as great degree as any
friends to whom they have ever said fare
well

MADISON MUTUAL.-Few, If any
insurance companies ever suffered and lived
through such heavy losses, in proportion to
their business, as the Madison Mutual did last
year. Owing to the Unprecedented losses, the
Company felt it necessary last winter, to make
an assessment Of 25 per cent on their outstand-
inc premium notes. This action caused the
Company to temporarily lose prestige among
some parties not understanding the busnes.
This we are sorry to learn, as the loss of con
fdence Is unmerited. We regard the prompt
levying of the assessment under the circum-
stances, as an evidence of good management
and honesty rather than the contrary. Our
faith in the Madison Mutual is sufficient to
make lis hold one Of its policies.

THE Dubuque Herald says there is strong
talk of the Northwestern Railway Company
building their road from Freeport to Du-
buque. This supposition is based upon the
fact that the Illinois Central Company will
soon DO all their business eastwardy via
Fereston and Aurora, thereby cutting off
the Northwestern r. r. from Freeport to
Chicago of all through freight and travel
from points north of Freeport.

1t may seem strange, but mechanics are

COLUMBUS, MISSISSIPPI.
Terrible Negro Riots six y Arrests Made
of MuFdsrers and RlOters---The An
cry Negro Mob Threatens to
Rescue Prisoners.

Special 20 the APPEAL.l
COLUMBUS, MIss. October 25.-About
sixty arrests have been made of the MUIR
derers Of Lee at Artesia. The grand jury,
now in session here, have been investi-
eating the case all day, and all but fifteen
of the prisoners hsve been discharged.
Lewis, Bliss and Rose, carpet baggers, are
still under arrest. The march of the ne
groes into Artesia seems to have been a
purely riotous demonstration upon
the part of an armed angry mob.
There was a political meeting during
the day four or five miles distant, and
Lewis and Bliss afterwards marched the
negroes into Artesis, and we're seeking, go
thsy assert, to disperse them, when a gun
was accidentally fred, and the negroes
fell at once upon young Lee, g
stranger in the town, cutting him down
with sahres, and shooting and killing him
instantly.
Columbus has been heavily pstrolled for
three days. An attempt TO rescue the
prisoners has been looked for every night.
OF the large crowd of witnesses who have
come or been brought, the most of them
remain, and say they are going to see the
prisoners through. It is not known what
evidence the grand jury have obtained.
The whites are very anxious TO avoid
any difficulty, but yet will be determined
in sustaining the law.
