THE third match game Of base
ball between the Fearnaughts Of
Darlington, and the Mineral Point
boys was begun on Friday and con-
tinued to the fifth innings, the
game then standing even. On ac-
count of several accidents that took
place during the game, temporarily
disabling some of the players, both
sides We're deemed unfit to finish
the game in respectable manner.
1t was therefore called, and will be
played at some future time.

THE exhibition of the S. W. Wis.

Industrial Association is approach
ing, and the degree of its success
will reflect not little on the people
of Mineral Point. People from
abroad have always assisted nobly
in bringing together valuable col
lection Of materials FOR exhibition !;
but there are certain things that
will enhance the general pleasant
ness and beauty Of the collection
tnat must be furnished largely by
the people of Mineral Point. 1t is
to them the association owes its eX-
istence, and on them it reflects con-
siderable of honor. 1t ought then
to be matter of pride to our peo-
pie to contribute everything possi-
ble to adorn the hall with works Of
skill and art With this purpose in
view, every one, who has taste for
any branch of fine art whatever,
ought to exhibit something as a
result of his taste and industry.
1t makes no difference whether q
premium is expected or not, such
an effort will be appreciated by all
enlightened people, and the object
produced will be work well done,
which is never lost, though the re-
ward is not received at once. 1t is
by individual efforts that such en-
terprises become a success, and in
beautifying the halls with works of
fine" art our citizens will doubtless
take pride. Let each one, therefore,
endeavor to exhibit something that
will assist in forming collection Of
this kind that will reflect as much
credit on the people of cur city as
those from abroad deser9 who have
contributed largely to the success
of the enterprise in other branches.
1t is especially desirable that
those residing in and around Miner
al Point should make their entries
on the first day Of the fair. The
time for entries is necessarily short
and those from long distance must
needs come last, hence to avoid con-
fusion, or being cut off, those at
home ought to enter as early as
possible.

FREDERICK MGLLER, ST., an old
citizen of Mineral Point, died at
his residence last Sunday morning,
the supposed cause of death being
the ossitication of some of the
arteries. Mr.. Mpller was a German
by birth, but has been engaged in
business in Mineral Point for more
than twenty years. He was well
known in this community, and had
many friends. The funeral took
place on Tuesday morning, and was
largely attended.

RUNAWAY.-While on the road
from Mineral Point to Darlington
last Friday, and about five miles
this side of the latter place, the
front axle of Mr.. w. II. Benefits
buggy broke suddenly, precipitat-
ing him to tire ground, and fright
ening the horses SO that they ran
away, literally denlolisling the bugs
gy, and scattering the fragments
over four miles Of the road. The
pieces were gathered up and re-
turned to this city by rail the day
following. Nobody hurt.

RALLY OR BE ROUTED.-Unless
the Mineral Point Guards make a
grand rally between now and the
fair, they may expect the militia
company Of Dodgeviile or Highland
to carry off the so premium offered
by the society. We understand
there are some 60 names on the list
as members of the NJ. Z. G., and
yet not more than a dozen can
usually be got together for drill and
instruction. This fact is assurance
that if the company attempts to
drill as q whole at the fair it will be
miserable failure unless regular
attendance and hard practice IS se-
cured at the meetings Intervening
For the honor OF our city we hope
the members Of the company will
peStlr themselves, and at least make
a creditable trial for the premium.
II good attempt is made, and
some other company does better,
all right; but if the society is com
PEELED to give the money to a COM
pany from another town purely
through the Indifference or neglect
Of our own company, it will be
positive disgrace to the members,
and If in future no interest is taken
IN them, and no encouragement
given them by the people, it will be
but just rebuke to their negligence

THE storm that passed over Us on
Sunday morning dispatched thun-
derbolt on the premises of GEO Day.
Some of the family were sleeping in
a room, a window Of which lit the
way to the barn. About three in
the morning there was q terrible
peal of thunder, which shook the
house, rattling the windows and APP
parently shattering them in pieces.
Thinking the effect Of the lightning
lasted long, they looked out Of the
window and saw the barn on fire.
Day arose and with few pals Of
water extinguished the flames The
lightning had started in the roof
and followed down the end Of the
barn, removing some boards and
tearing the door facinginto splinters.
4 hog weighing about three hun-
dred pounds, that Ia in the barn,
was killed. Large quantities Of
plastering were shaken from house
on the lot adjoining that of Mr..
Day, yet no other damage was done.

Passing Cotterill's paint shop the

ing thereon is certainly of very
superior order, done by Mr.. j.

master Of the brush, and has few
equals in the West. First-class car
criage painting is something rarely
found outside of the largest cities,
and Mineral Point is fortunate in
having shop where such work is
done.

Gov. Porter's Letter.

The Columbia Herald and Mail is
n"D very complimentary to Gov. Per-
ter 1t says:
We publish in our supplement an
CO., 4 letter from Governor Porter to
J les Morton, of New York, on the
f = ,ncial condition of Tennessee.
CaHment upon this document is I'M
~ 4ssary, since it bears upon its face
", uistakable evidences of that smae
H. 'ecision, vacillation and weakness
Il has characterized throughout his
a ininistration of State affairs. We
eau not forbesr, however, the remark
that the Democracy of Tennessee will
not agree with him in his estimate OF
the goodness and wisdom of those
parties who sneeringly suggest that
most contemplate of all forms of re-
pudiation, viz: scaling the public
debit or in other words, forcing cred
itors to accept any other than the in
terest as written in the contract.
Tennessee is able and will meet all OF
her obligations, and all that is neces.
sary for the accomplishment Of this
most desirable end will be attained by
the election of statesmen to official
positions in 1876"

assured Mrs. Joyce that IL was most disa-
greeable, and he thought a very small,
piece of business TO be engaged in, but that
he was bound to obey the orders Of the
court. Mrs. Joyce replied that II made no
difference to her, and was not unexpected.
She had been advised several days before
her departure from Green Lake to pack
her trunks so as to give as little inoonven-
fence as possible to those who Snight want
to overhaul them. She also remarked that
since her arrival in Jefferson City she had
learned that detective had Swallowed her
and her baggage all the way from Wiscon-
sin. and she was sorry she did not know it,
ms she would have delivered formal posse
ssion of her trunks, and thus relieved her
self of the trouble of looking after them.
Though the alleged object of the search
was for bonds and other personal property
of Joyce, it is stated, on pretty good au-
thorty that the real purpose of the Gov
eminent in making the levy was to possess
itself of certain letters from Babcock to
Joyce directly eliminating the former in
the Whisky Ring frauds, which they had
been advised Mrs. Joyce had packed away
| in her trunks.

THr New York Herald n,

THE New York Herald must have
a sensation, and if it can not base
such an event upon facts, the fertile
imagination Of its editorial corps is
brought into requisition. What it
lacks in real facts it makes up in
black headlines, ornamented profuse-
ly with exclamation points. Just
now it is stirring up a "big thing on
ice" in the slape OF "cock-and-bull
story" about a secret oath.bound
organization, the purpose of which
is to prosecute Catholics and fan the
flames Of religious and sectarian
bigotry." When we read the Herald's
expose of the organization, covering
about a page and half of its NAM
moth sheet, we came to she conclusion
that the whole country must be filled
with lodges of the "Order of the
American Union" but upon closer
examination we found that there wore
but few of them IN existence, even
according to the Herald's own version.
But we are told that Grant and
Blaine and Postmaster General Jew
ell belong to it, and that, forsooth, it
/ is assuming gigantic proportions. In
the first place, we doubt if the organ
ization has made much Roadway yet /;
and secondly, we doubt if the Herald
knows anything about its aims or
principles. Thirdly, we doubt the
story about Grant, Blaine and jew
ell; and lastly, we have very little
doubt but that the whole thing was
concocted in the Herald office.

DRUNKENNESS AND PROFANITY.

For forty years past we have looked
on at the workings of King Alcohol,
but the drunkenness, profanity, black
guardism and wholesale immortality
of last Friday night, excels any
hing of the kind that has ever come
under our observation. Yes, in this
city Of churches, white and black,
old and young, seem to have been
drunk. Such bowling, yelling, hard
swearing and villainous profanity, we
have never heard before.
Our testimony is sustained by
that of the best men in the place
Whether the police were on duty at
all, we are not advised, but certain it
is, that every man, boy and drunken
woman did just as they pleased, and
met with little or no opposition.
We call upon the friends Of law
and order and Of sobriety TO emigrate
10 our city and help US organize the
temperance forces and to put down
this monstrous evil Of the day.
And now, we call upon Moody and
Sankey to pay US visit and give us
a turn. We call upon the churches,
also, to unite as one body TO put
down this crying shame. We call
upon the Young Mems Christian AS,
sociation to cast in its mite in or
der to rescue from the drunkards
grave the church members, and the
old and young, the married and sin
gle.
In vain may our church members
go to and from their seats in the
amen corners ia the churches, while
they swim in liquor.
This much we say for the present,
intending TO be heard again upon the
subject.
