Bloomington Notes.

The BaIlantine Bros are taking
considerable pains in raising blooded
cattle. They have some very fine
Durhams which to be admired, need
but to be seen.

customers in the latest style of art.
The Baptists have succeeded in
engaging the Rev. Stevens of Rich

expected to preach next Sabbath. -
This church has been without a min
lister since Rev. Webb left.
Not content with his extensive
furniture trade, Mr.. L. Hoskins has
bought fine span of ponys, with the
"appurtenances thereunto belonging"
and will hereafter not only do his own
hauling and driving, but will haul and
drive for others. For freight or pass
engers, apply to Bob.
--Messrs M4ssmore & Elton have
built new shop on Prospect street

en- of by those who have used them.
The sidewalks have been some-

Miss Emma Smith of Beetown, is
now the assistant of Prof. BARLEY in

The school is much larger than com

scholars from abroad.
Professor Parkhurst has about 80

The Methodist sociable at P.
Woodhouse's last week was a very
pleasant and "social" affair The
older ones, laying aside the cares OF
life for the time being, enjoyed them
selves by conversine of the "beautlful
days of the past" the happy present,
and bright hopes of the future, and the
young folks, including some of our
bachelor friends, played "snap and

ORAIGLOW.
Several Things about the new Town and City In
Prospect.

Prospect.
The Galena Gazette of Thursday
last has this significant and suggestive
item:
The (Craiglow) depot question, over which
Mr. Craiglow has so often grown eloquent
and Mr.. Stephens looked wise, has been salts
factorily settled. Craiglow Stephens are to
have the side>traek, at least for short time
| Donahue 4 Sullivan, the punishable; the juno
ton House, the weigh scales; and, at the sug
gesuon of o. NJ. r., for his accommodation and
that of the Patch folks we shall locate the
water-tank where the wagon road forks lead
ing to Big Patch.
And the fact that many people who
have read the above are still wonder
! ing where Craiglow is and desiring to
know what manner of place it may be.
has prompted US to gather for our
readers the statistical and other in,
formation given below.
Craiglow is as yet only name, the
name of thrifty, clear headed farmer
whose fair and fertile fields compose
one of the best homesteads to be found
in either Grant or Lafayette counties.
| The place is on the cd well known
Galena and Platteville road, or what
in former days wgs styled the Mineral
Point road, so acres thereof being in
the town of Smelser, Grant county,
and 100 in the town of Benton, Lafay-
cite comfy; four miles from Hazel
Green, three from Georgetown and
about as many from Benton: Persons
familiar with that portion of our State
need not be told that tits unsurpassed
in the fertility of its soil and the
abundance and variety of its agricul
tural products The town of Smelser
contains, without question, some of
the most valuable rural real estate 10
the county. There are only 23,026
acres of it, valued, accor ling to the
assessment of 1874, at $488,I70. This
is the highest valuation, by more than
ten thousand dollars, that has been
made of the land in any township, ex-
cepting Lancaster, which, being a
double town, ought to be worth the
additional 500, 229 set down in the
assessment abstract. And most Of the
territory in the towns adjacent is of
similarly excellent character. Take
portions of Paris, and Jamestown, and
Hazel Green, in this county, and cross
the fourth principal meridian into the
border towns of Lafayette county, and
you have scope of farming country
that will give the narrow gauge rail
way down thereGbout all the work it
can do, and make Craiglow a place
having something more than mere
location and name. There's talk
already by capitalists of buying some
of Mr. Craiglow's land and laying out
a town at once, with corner lots worth
all the way from hundred dollars to
a thousand. We hope this Will come
to pass; and that by the time Macau-
lays New Zealander gets ready to sit
on the broken arches of London
Bridge, Craiglow, like Lancaster and
divers other ra.lway-towns, to-be, will
be a great commercial centre, with a
population of hundred thousand,
with street cars, gas lights. and Hooley
water works, and with scores of sub
urban residents worth at least half

PEDDLERs. Information has been
received that those "foine Irish GIN
tlemen" who preambalated through
Grant county two years ago, swindl-
ing the uniformed by selling them
packages of goods and taking promis-
sorry notes in payment, are now trav'
cling in Southern Grant, practicing
their wiley arts upon unsuspecting
farmers and others living in that vi.
cinity. Should they come into these
parts we would advise our farming
people to give them the cold shoulder
and let them go without bestowing
upon them a farthing's worth of pat
ronage. They are the worst swindl-
ers of the day.

Mra NARY LEXINlSTON araa "a uaar. l

| LIVINGSTON In the town of Clifton Nov 9, 1874.
Mrs MARY LIVINGSTON, aged SO years, IL
Deceased was a native of Ireland and emf,
| grated to the United States in 1856, landed in
| Clifton, Grant County, Wisconsin, in that year,
| which place she has continued to reside in un
ill her death Her early religious training was
IN the Church of England, in the year 1916
she was soundly converted to God through the
instrun,o ntality of the Methodist Church.
From that time to her last expiring breath she
has continued to be bright light to her fami>
ly, relatives, friends and neighbors. She was
| remarkable, in most eminent degree, as a
| christian in all her transactions while passing
| through life; having come to Christ when it
| cost more 10 be christian member of the
church of her choice than many of the youths
| OF this day and age can well realize. She had
| vivid recollections of the Irish Rebellion when
| men, women and children were put to death
| for their religious opinions, and while she had
charity and pity for all of Gods creatures, she
bore no malice nor hatred in her heart for any
person; she had good education for her day,
and was blessed with good sight until few
days before her death and retained all her fac.
ulties to the last Taking into consideration
the day aud age in which she lived, the facili>
ties which the Methodists of her day had of
worshiping God-going from house to house
as the apostles did OF old, without place of
worship in all the land that they could call
their own; scoffed at and derided, insulted and
alb, sed; driven at times, by the uRgodly, to
serve their Master under the most adverse cir
cumstances In her early day there was not
Sunday School in all the land. Such was the
time and such the circumstances under which
she embraced religion. To such mothers in
Israel the Methodist churches of to-dav, in a
great measure owes her existence She is the
last of her family, all her brothers and sisters
have gone before her. Since her arrival in
this country she has wholly devoted herself to
the service of God, all her temporal wants be-
ing supplied by her children--one daughter
constantly minstering to her wants in her Sec
ond childhood with as much tenderness as her
mother had minstered to her in her infancy
The last words she spoke were "rll soon be
gone, glory be to God and the lamb" She is
now enjoying the beauties of that heavenly
land that she used to take such delight in try
ing to get to herself, and to teach others the
way [CoM.
