The Estray Law.

We are frequently asked for intorma'
ton in regard to the estray law. As this
is the season Of the year when many
strays are taken up, We publish the follow
ing synopsis of the laws on this subject,
that all may read for themselves.
ANY persons taking up a stray shall
with in seven days, notify the owner, ii
known.-!f the owner be unknown, and
the stray be of less value than five dollars,
the finder shall, within ten days, file a
notice with the town clerk, also post mp
notices. If the stray be of more value
than five dollars, he shall cause the same
to be pub ished in some newspaper in the
county. four weeks successfully. All such
notices shall contain brief description Of
the stray.
Every stray Of more than ten dollars
shall be appraised within one month after
being taken up. II the owner shall not
appear within one year, the person taking
up the stray shall oe entitled to the prop
"rty, provided the value is not over ten
dollars. If the value be over ten dollars,
the stray shall be sold at auction, and half
the proceeds, afte' payingcosts, shall be-
long to the finder and the other half shall
be paid into the town treasury.
If the finder Of the stray shall neglect
to advertise the same, he shall be pre-
cluded from obtaining any right of prop
erty thereto, or receive any charges for
keeping"

EDS. CHRONICLE fights, no deaths,
no nothing to send you from this place in
the way of locals, except few births; but
the names of the happy Cr) are unknown.
The question of aiding the extension of
the Mineral Point road'' by tax, will not
be submitted to the people # this town at
present, because of the excitement about
the marrow guage" from Galena. 1t
seems that that company mean business;
at least, the men in charge of the matter
say they do. They have commenced their
preliminary survey, and expect to be IN
the vicinity of Montlort early this week.
They will be invited to examine the route
by Highland.
Perhaps it is not generally known that
there is place in this nelghborhood called
Bohemia. Well, west of here, the Blue
River bluffs are mostly settled by Bohe-
mians. They are farming land that many
would consider entirely outside of that
class of land called farming" land, and
they seem to occupy this land from choice.
[ have been told that it resembles their
Fatherland very much, and one can easily
believe it when be knows that their home
across the ocean is surrounded by noun
tans and traversed by many large streams,
Here may be found "my lowly thatched
cottage" and the well with the old fashion
cd sweep, and many other things which
are far from modern. Many of them are
poor. and some are rich. One, that |
know Of who came to this country about
nine years ago without anything, is worth
now about fifteen thousand dollars. 1t is
quite interesting to ride through their
country Many Of those who are more
nice than wise" would be "muchly" ben
Gifted by the trip, especially if they took
dinner in some of the lowly cabins as
have done upon several occasions.
Avoca is little dull just at present.
Most of the leading business men Of The
place have organized a stock company for
the purpose of buying grain. They vii!
commence operations this week, and pay
the highest prices that the market will
warran!. The principal object is, | pre-
sumo, to bring back some OF the trade
which Avoca has been losing.
Avoca seems to be. rot only quite will
ing but little anxions, that the talked of
road from Galena, if built, should reach
the Wisconsin at that point. Some of her
citizens are fully persuaded in their own
minds that the route by that place is the
shortest and the most practicable, and that
Avoca is the only point from which the
road can be extended north, if that is ever
desired. | hope all this is true, and that
the men whose business it will be TO locate
! the road, can be made to see it in the same
light, because Iowa county, of course,
would rather Avoca was benefited than

Close of Volume TX.

With this number closes volume nine OF
'he CHRoSiCLE. We are entering upon an
other year. But who can shy what anoth-
or year may bring forth. We have during
tnespast done what we could to make the
CugoNicLE an interesting paper, and if the
Endorsement We have received is anything
to Judge from, we have at least in part sue
eeeded. Our subscription list has increas-
cd wonderfully during the past year, and
il is gratifying to see it still on the increase.
we have endeavored to give the people all
she current news. especially of local ma.
tqre, believing that home is all important
nth US, and that Iowa county, with all her
trouble snd perplexiiy in railroad matters,
bond questions, &C.. is the dearest county
in this wide world to US. The CHRONICLE
has endeavored to always plead the cause of
the county in all vital questions, how sue
cessfus, shs pecp'e must fudsc.

Of our best citizens but everything we
have said has been our honest convic
tions. and we have worked hard in the
interests of our cauniy.
Hereafter we shall take about the same
course, improving from the experiences of
the past in every possible way. We shall
express our views on eny topic without
fear, shall pay particular attention to To-
cal matters, and shall labor to do the
right thing, and for the benefit of our pat
rons, in matters religious, political and
moral, we shall be unhinching
We start on our new year with hrst
rate corps of correspondents from all parts
of the country, so that each subscriber be-
comes well acquainted with everything
that is transpiring. But now we must
touch another key. perhaps delicate one,
but nevertheless it must be touched.
During the past year we have not said
word about money matters, but at this
particular time and under the present cir
cumstances, we think it nothing but right
to ask for money We really need it,
1t costs great amount of money to run
o paper, and we think, as the summer is
ended, the harvest over, we should have
a little of the money that has been due US
so long. We have several thousand dol
lars standing out, and thoseknowing them
selves indebted to this establishment
would confer a real kindness, and do much
good by RENTING, if not the whole OF
their Indebtedness, at least part of the
amount. Let the printers bill be among
the first you settle. We shall then go on
our way rejoicing, and be more able t.
give you a much better paper.

SPECTACLES.

We strongly suspect that pair OF glass
cs On n minister's nose would be worth to
him about three hundred and seventy six
dollars and fortyt~o cents additional
salary Indeed, we have known men who
had kept their parishes quite by this spec
tacular power. If Deacon Jones, crit
cized, or Mrs Go-about gossipsd, the
dominic would get them in range, shove
his glasses from the tip Of his nose close
up to his eyebrows, and concentrate all
the majesty of his nature into look that
consumed all opposition easier than the
burning-glass of Archimedes devoured the
Roman ships. But nearly all,young and old
near sited and far-sited, look through spec
tacles. By reason Of our prejudices, OR
education, or temperament, things are apt to
come to US magnifed, or lessened, or dis
torted We all see things differently
not so much because our eyes are different
as because the medium through which we
look is different.
Some of US wear blue spectacles, and
consequently everything is blue. Taking
our position at Trinity Church, and looking
down Wall Street, everything is gloomy
and depressing in financials and looking
up Broadway, everything is horrible IN
the fashions of the day. All is wrong in
churches, wrong in education, wrong in
society. An undigesied slice Of corned-beei
has covered up all the bright prospects of
the world A drop of vinegar has extin-
guished star. We understand all the
variations of growl. What makes the
