ATCCA.

Away up in the northern corner Of The
county, bounded on the north by the Wis
consin river, on the west by Grant eoun
ty, on the south by Highland, and on the
east by Clyde, lies the town Of Pulaski. in
which is situated the village of Avoca, q
thriving market town on the Milwaukee
and Prairie Du Chen railroad.
To reach this poin. from Dodgeville,
one has to 60 distance of several miles,
over a not very smooth road, and through
a country which is not strikingly beauti
full, though there is much that interests
the lover of nature. The first few miles
of the road lead through q good farming
country, and, one sees many highly cult.
waited farms, nice orchards and convenient
dwellings. Passing little distance be.
yond the line of the town of Dodgeville,
the scenery is of a different nature. Large
trees, on the top Of high hills, projecting
rocks, rough roads and thick underbrush
are the sights presented. The hills are Of
a similar size and shape, and being COW
cred with trees, present very pleasing
appearance. The streams are large, and
flow through beautiful meadow lands,
which yield enormous quantities Of hay.
The fields are small: the houses wear
a look of olden times, and one is reminded
of the "reminiscences told by early settlers
Of the primitive manner in which they
lived.
The ride gives one an appetite. and, BY
the time Avoca is reached, and good
meal got at the Wisconsin House. there il
a desire to see things. One Of the notice
able features of the town 10 the business

aspect which everybody and everything
seems to wear. 1t seems as though ev-
erything was saying business, business"
and saying it in such a manner as could
not fail to impress one with the idea that
it was meant.
The enterprise of the citizens is seen in
the splendid sidewalks. which lead to al
most every part of the village. The
school-house, churches, hotels. stores and
Offices attest the hberality of her citizens,
and make very favorable impression up
on the stranger.
During the little while your correspond
ent remained among the Avocians, bust
ness there, as elsewhere, was dull. The
live stock market was quite lively, but the
grain market was somewhat dull. Their :
seemed to be but little depression, boz "
ever all anticipating better times short .ly.
Among those whom we met were SOU ire
Grote, of the furniture store, who secI ned
to be yer. pleasant, agreeable man, 'lnd a
good stirring fellow Parr, of the Il lmber
yard, was head and ears in business D., rush
ing things in every possible mann er; the
MsCallsters were doing a good usiness,
and seemed to be among the hapT lest men
in town; Thorson 4 Shager wei e weigh
ing groceries and measuring elicoes as
though it was pleasure; Stecker was not
without his full share of customers, who
seemed to think they had good bar
gains; the drug store seemed to be quite a
popular place, although the.e seemed to
be q stronger demand for watermeit ms
than drugs. The hotels seemed to be, in
quite a fourishing condition, judging from
the countenances of the accommodating
proprietors.
There were others whom your CORES,

On THE RAMPAaE.-Several Of the
sports Of the city, together with friends
from abroad, have beon on the ramp
age for two or three days, and the
spectacle Of men ~"declaring them
selves'' has been one OF frequent oc-
currence. Last night two or three Of
them got into q wrangle and adjourned
to the sidewalk and from thence into
the confectionery establishment adj
joining the theater, where It appears a
man named Charles Mcintyre struck
another named Collicott. Chas. Dres-
ser interfered and got worsted. Geo.
Taylor interiered to quiet the disturb
ance and while he was holding Dresser
Mcintyre took possession Of his Fay

himself the "boss shooter Of the city,"
etc. He finally quleted down and went
back into the theater. There were
several peace officers present who must
have witnessed at least a portion Of the
disturbance, but no arrests were made.
Later In tho night Colllcott and McIn-
tyre again met, on Second street, and
the latter struck at Collieott twice and
finally shot at him, but failed to hit.
Collicott appeared ut the statlon-house
subsequently to get a warrant for his
arrest, but ~ the Clerk OF the Court
was not present, could not do so then,
but probably will to-day. Still later

GENERAL. SHEMpAN's DEFESsE.-
Whatever mistake of Judgment, If any,
General Sheridan made by taking mil
itary charge Of Chicago during the
progress Of the great fire, his motive Is
considered above suspicion. It Is COM
planned by Governor Palmer, of ILL
nois, and a few others, that he had no
right to supplant the State troops by
ordering on duty those Of the regular
army. Probably If Colonel Grosvenor
had not met with so sad a fate by tho
precipitate action Of a rash youth,
Sheridan's assumption ofcontrol would
never have been seriously criticised.
1t is alleged that both the President
and General Sherman endorse his ac-
ton. The Chicago Post defends him,
and says "there Is but one sentiment
peryading the minds of the people,
high and low" relative to his conduct,
"and that Is, Of absolute, uncondition.
al, unequlvocal APPROVAL" The Grand
Jury, which met recently, refused to
find any bill of Indictment against
him.-S. +. Call.

IT seems that there must have beef

IT seems that there must have been
great exaggsratlon In the published
Statements Of amounts contributed to
the relief of the sufferers in Chicago,
or else the Chicago Relief Committee
is not prompt to acknowledge the re-
csipt Of the contributions. BY the re-
ports of q million and more from the
city Of New York, and other millions
from other points, 1t was figured up
that not, less than six millions, and
probably eight, would reach the people
Of that unfortunate city ; but by the
report of the Relief and Aid Society,
Of which the Mayor OF Chicago was
formerly the Chairman, 1t appears that
barely two millions had reached that
city, and only one million and a half
remained to be forwarded. Three mil
lions five hundred thousand can hardly
be called On Insignificant sum, but 1t Is
far short Of what was expected from
the reports given by telegraph. We're
we deceived In the first instance or tho
last? The journals Of that city de-
handed that the Common Council
should not have the handling Of the
money ; perhaps, In the effort to escape
from tho frying-pan the fire has been
reRched.-AHd. %
