~ Charles M Council, Jr., bon .of
Chas. NJ Connell Ct Mineral Point, young
man about Is years of age,was killed while
riding the mare "Lizzie Henry" in the
running race, at the Boscobel Fair, on last
Friday afternoon. 1t seems that "Lizzie
Henry" was ahead in tho race, and while
running at fearful speed, by some means
cut her quarter. Charley attempted to
pull her up,"ibut pulled too strong, and
the track being slippery, caused the mare
to turn complete summersault, falling on
him, and injuring him 80 severely that he
died in about three hours. His remuins
were brought to Mineral Point for inter
ment, where, We understand, was given
''real Irish wake" with all the accompa-
niments, which was participated in by
large number of sympathiziug friends,

Highland.


ACCIDENT AGAIN. DR.. David, OF
Muscoda, stopped at Highland on Friday
last, on his way to Dodgeville. While
there, he was called upon to visit a pa
tent living north of the village. DR.
Hutton went with him. On their way
back, the neck-yoke slipped past Its sup
port on the tongue, and the carriage ran
on to the horses. The horses started to
run, the carriage tipped over, and the
men were dragged for about twenty yards
under The carriage. Both were bruised
badly. DR.. David will be laid up for aomo
time az he received quite serious ipj ury
in the hip joint.

| account Of the trotting race on Tuesday
from the Republican of the 9th. The hors'
.Bismark," entered by w. @. Clark; is
llsoasWned by r. G.. Owens, Of the firm O.
| Jones & Owens, of this village. His time
| in the three hcats Of the race was $50
1852, and 2:44, and we understand that ht
| made the first half mile of the second hea
| in 1:18, just as a specimen of what he in
tends to do in year or two. The Repu6li
can says: :. y:

trotting race, which came off next. Mile
heats, best three in five. The entries were
| Lacy w OOSIeT, ny w. O' DOuSiao, Do0huo
by E. Tippih, Bismark by w. @. Clark
and WhiteOwl, by s. Harker.
The start Of the first heat was COED, bu
Bachus and White Owl soon fell behind
Lady Wooster leading, closely followed by
Bismark. The heat was soon won by
Wooster, Bismark End, White Owl 3rd
and Bachus 4th. Time ESQ.
Two other heats were trotted, each
| time the horses coming infn thes same order
when Lady Wooster was declared the win
ner of the race,
Lady Wooster Is handsome grey. un
der good control, and extra good action
Bismark is large, strong, heavy horse,
powerfully mtiscled, did not look in very
good condition for the track, and many
said would be distanced by all the others
but when he got down to business he
showed a gait which when fully developed
will bring HIM below the thirties. There
is probably not another horse In the state
which with the same training has made a!
good time as Bismark; but when we taxi
into consideration the fact that he is o.
the Comet stock, it is not much to be won
dered at, for we have vet to see a horse o
that stock, which with anything like fair
training does not show extra speed.

The Entertainment mt Dry Branch.

The entertainment which has so long been the
subject of interest among the literati of Dry
Branch, was held on Monday evening, August
3lst. The exercises were conducted with deco.
rum, and everything passed of pleasantly and
with ccia. Robinson's band lent charms TO the
occasion by the splendid, mastery manner IN
which its sweet interludes were produced. The
audience-even some of those whose hearts have
been heretofore supposed to be frozen over,
seemed to catch the inspiration of the cnchant-
ing music, as its strains hoatcd melodious on
the air. Truly emusic hath charms to soothe
the savage breast"
The exercises were commenced with the highly
amusing defamation entitled "Artcmus Wards
Trip to Richmond" byJ. r. Dcvoc, who dressed
en- cOSt,Hpe, with the inimitabe shat" was
greeted with shouts OF laughter. Indeed, so
complete was his disguise, he seemed to be the
vcritable "Artcmus" himself The next in or
der was Il dialogue, "rhc Way TO Windham,"
hy Milton Ward and VIM. Hanna, which caused
much mcrrimcnt; after which followed comic
speech by Cortland Miller who was loudly ap.
pauded.
Then came "TEe Yankee in Love" by VIM.
Wright, whose graphic description of his court
ship, the original and ludicrous manner in which
he popped the question" To SAL" elected
roars of applause.
The next, sentiment" II dialogue by Miss
Luela Jackson, Thomas Miller and Charles T.
Wright, was ably performed comic sony

with awe all who heard it. Your correspondent

was well represented, and the novel manner IN
which he escaped the mcshes of matrimony was
quite amusing.
After this came "a Drunken Soliloquy in n
Coal Cellar" which was SO admirably rendered
by Charles Wright, as to literally "6rng down
the house"
"Thc Widows Victim" by Miss Emma Gar
rctt, G. I. Wright and j. W. Mulinix, was
splcndidly performed, and created much amusc
ment, especially the character "Johnnic Ia

Next came speech by Miss Florence Garrett

dance by the same young lady. which called
forth much admiration.

Letter from Pittsburg.
PGTTsBURG, August 31st, 1877.

DEAR SIR: To-day visited the flooded dis
trict, over in Allegheny city, and was astonish
ed to see the great destruction of both life and
property, caused by the bursting of a cloud,
which in few moments hurried $50 souls into
eternity, without scarcely moments warning,
and which destroyed an immense amount Of
property. However, the people, (thanks to the
generosity of neshboring cities) are rapidly re,
covering; they are hunting their houses and
wagons, and the streets again present their usu.
al appearance with the exception of an unusual
quantity of mud.
Going to visit factory that had front of 400
feet, and five stories high, with capacity Of
working 100 hands, was surprised to find not a
vestige OF 1t remaining, except the high brick
chimney or smoke stack leading from the en-
ginc. Everything else was gone, and high
board fence around the lot, with the sign ''no ad-
mttance," told the awful story.
Pittsburg is as black and as dirty as ever, but
the everlasting smoke, smoke, smoke from the
iron works, coal mines and railroads tell the
traveller that in spite of dirt and smoke, the city
shows progression and industry, and is daily
growing in importance and wealth among the
cities of the country.
