gsy-The Eisteddfod given by the
Welsh people, at the Court House, on

considering the roads, and, we under
stand, was very pleasant and success
full affair in all respects.

N. E. Sabbath school Christmas, furnish
ed entertainment to large crowds,
both morning and evening, and refec-
ted credit on the school. A collection
was taken up, by which the school re-
allied about $40.

contest between Messrs. Bennett and
Gray will be taken on Saturday, Janu-
airy sth. Mr.. Benefits witnesses will
be examined at Dodgeville and Mr..
Gray's at Avoca. 1t gives us pleasure
to say that at present it seems almost
certain that Mr. Bennett will secure
the seat.
Res The tea meeting at the M. E..
Church, Monday evening, was not quite
so we'll attended as usual, owing, no
doubt, to the bad roads and to til Ma.
sonic supper being held at the same time.
Still it was quite successful present
enjoying an excellent time-and by
continuing it on Tuesday evening the
receipts were brought up to about the
usual fgure--in the neighborhood of
$500.

Milwaukee, last Thursday evening, with

charge of contempt of the U. s. Circuit
Court,on complaint of Mr.. Marriner,for not
having apportioned the tax levied in July
last, under the Bowen mandamus, along
with the regular taxes for the year 1876.
The case was argued before the Court on
Wednesday of last week, Mr.. Mariner APP

pected to be rendered on Monday, but up

heard from it here.
sA- At Mazomanie, on Monday
morning, woman named Bailey, de-
string to cross the railroad track, and
finding the way blockaded by a train
of cars, concluded she would over
come the difficulty by crawling under.
Just as she got under the car, the train
started to move, and three cars passed
over her, cutting off both legs above
the ankles, and otherwise inluring
her so that she died that evening. It
is said that she was intoxicated at the
time of the accident.
p@y@ From our Mineral Point cor
respondence, it will be seen that the
Rev. Mather, of the M e. Church, and
Bro. Cline, of the Tribune, have got

to eliminate in some sort of lawsuit.
1t seems pity that the high calling
