Mortified, MINI.
The donation for the benefit Of Rev. ".
7. Miller. at the NJ. E. Church, last Tues
day evening, was quite a success. ALI en-
joyeG pleasant evening,and. the amount do
mated was about $4,000.
couple who are each seventy-two years
OF age were united in the holy bonds OF
matrimony last Sunday evening at the resi-
denc Of Mr.. NJ. j. Rood, in this village.
The bride is the mother of Mrs Rood and
Mrs. Wallace. They appeared as happy
and hopeful on the occasion of their mar
rage as though they had long life to live
and enjoy each others society. They had
lived with their former partners he forty
years and she fifty years, we understand
and are firm believers in the adage tina,
''it is not good that man should be alone.r
We discovered this week a rare relic in
the shape of pioneer ballot box. 1t was
IN the possession of Mr. W. T. Bond, pro.
prletor Of the Badger State House, and ac
cording to his statement was used as a re-
cepta Gle for votes on election day." in the
town of Lowell, Dodge county, over thirty
years ago. The box is one foot long seven
inches wide and six and one-half inches
high, and is made Of thin bass wood boards
roughly sawed and put together with-we
should judge from the looks-home- made
nails. The cover swings on two leather
hinges, and is fastened by large wire clasp
AID staple, rudely constructed. journal

e. T. Cook, on the Croker farm. in Lake
Mills, will hold his adjourned sale OF live
stock and farming tools, on Thursday, Octo-

Mr.. D. W. Curtis, of this village, who
took lumber of premiums at the County
fair last year on his fine display of flowers,
thought to do the same thing over again
this year, and SO placed on exhibition q
splendid collection. But the committee re-
fused to give him the first premium because
he took it last year. This seems very prop
er. What business has Curtis or any 9TH
er man to take premium two years in sue
cession, oven if his articles are worthy of itf
We are glad to see such indolent presump-
ton so effectually rebuked.
On Friday night, last week this village
received pretty general stirring up from
thieving gentry. The house Of J. G. Mer.
RAM was entered by an unbolted back door.
His pants, coat and vest we're taken to the
back room and rifed. The pocket book
was thrown back into the front room, after
the money was taken out which amounted
to S35. The house of O. Vaughn was next
visited. and entry being made by hosting
window. Between 50 and $40 was taken
from Mr.. Vanghn's pants The houses of
n. May, Pritchard, Hanson, D. H. Walker
and several others were visited, but we do
not learn any loss thereby.
On Wednesday, Mr.. A. II. Krogh, o:
Cambridge, exhibited in our Office two a1ti-
fetal limbs, Of which he is the inventor
The specimens shown were an arm and 4
leg. From all we can learn Mr. Krogh has
dlstanced all competitors in the invention
and construction of a limb which shall as
near as possible fulfill the office of natural
one. In this connection we would mention
that Mr.. b. Guile, of Waterloo, who was
run over by the cars a year ago, snd lost
both legs below the knees, has procured
pair OF artificial limbs from Mr. Krogh, with
which he recently walked eleven miles,
without the aid Of cane, and uses them
so perfectly that an observer would scarcely
detect his loss Of natural feet.-Un;on
