PLATTEvILLE II. r. MATTERs.-No
change in the status of our railroad
difficulties has yet become apparent
We have not seen the contract pro
posed by Mr.. Beecher, but have been
informed that it provides that Mr..
Beecher shall be recognized as sole
| owner of the east ten miles OF the road;
that of course, the cross bill must be
withdrawn; that the road beteen Bel
mont and Platteville must be repaired
and fenced. and that the floating debt
OF the road, amounting to over : Co.,
600, must be paid out of the earnings
of the west eight miles of the road. Of
course everybody understands that if
the cross bill is Withdrawn, and Mr..
Beecher'S claim to ownership acknowl.
edged, he eight miles of road between
Belmont and Platteville OH not be
worth much. In that event Mr..
Beecher could refuse to make any ar
rangement with our company, run his
trains to Belmont and there stop.
And SO we are pleased to see de-
termination on the part of our people
to bear the ills we have, rather than
fly to those we know not Of No set
Element can be made upon the terms
proposed Of course, we understand
that it is now too late to recriminate.
Mr.. Beecher has the advantage in this
controversy. But of one thing we can
rest assured, that our people will put
up with great deal of Inconvenience
rather than allow themselves to be
robbed of everything they put into the
oad.-PlatteuiUe Witness.

A Useful Book for Families.

There has probably no other work ever
been issued from the press containing as much
useful information for families, in relation
to health, and diseases as the one before US.
"The American Family Physician" by Pro-
fe.sor King of Cincinnati, Ohio, physician
of about forty years practice author of the
"American Eclectic Dispensatory !" a work
on Chronic diseases of over sixteen hundred
pages, and other reliable STANDARD works for
the medical pi ofsssion. His long experience
and practical knowledge has enabled him to
get up work suitedt the wants of the peo-
pie, free from incomprehensible medical
terms. No one need fear being imposed upon
by this book. 1t is high toned moral, d
deep mental and thoroughly medical work
Scientific in every respect, but free from
tie mcalities, aid professional obscurities.
DIR. Kings wide reputation as a safe, ju-
diclous and experienced practitioner and his
being extensively engaged in education ply
sician are the best guarantee that could be
offered, that this book, which is the mature
product of all his study and practice is one
worthy of confidence. Especially should it
be in the hands of every mother, treatise so
plain on all dise'eas ofchildren, showing the i'm
portance of timely action, when simple rem
edies and good nursing will do more than
strong medicines and eminent physicians
afterwards. The work also contains nun.
Der of pages treating on the various diseases
Of farm stock
We advise all our friends TO give the work
thorough examination when the agent calls.

1t had been their habit to put in blast

hole to receive the charge too far to-
ward the side toward which they had
gone, it exploded near them, shatter-
