MINING OpERAT1oNs.-Mining az

MINING OpERATIoNs.-Mining ap-
pears TO have been more prosperous
for the past winter than it bas been
for many years previous. The num-
Der and value of prospects" are dali
" increasing and the notices from
various mining districts are very en-
couraging. At Dubuque accounts
are given Of large quantities of min
eral being raised in the very suburbs
of the city. At Fairplay several
companies, the Level company,
Franklin, PALLET & Co, and others
have struck very fine mineral and
are only prevented by the water from
raising it. They expect very shortly
to lower the water and raise the lead,
and we hope they will secure rich
harvest. At Hazel Green the opper-
ators are equally prosperous. Chand-
Ter 4 Co. are looking for at least
1000 pounds from their opening.
Mr.. York has good expectations from
dying cut some diggings, and secu-
ring the mineral. Cornelison has
also some good mineral picked in
water. All are looking for a good
time, when "the water shall have
subsidized" At Pigeon Diggins there
are large quantities of earth thrown
out, and much mineral carried away.
How much there is, and where it is
kept, is only known to the diggers
and smelters, as it can only be seen
on the move. The miners probably
keep the products of their mines
whore they do their religion, "in
caves and dens of the earth" Mi
ners seldom boast of their sales, so
that an outside estimate Of amounts
is likely to fall far short of the truth.

AN INHUMAN DAUGHTER-IN IL

AN INHUMAN DAUGHTER-IN LAW.
The Dubuque Telegraph of the 9th
instant has the following sorrowful
story of an old lady who was seeking
the protection of daughter in this
county:
"Day before yesterday Mrs. r. B.
Buddlll, from Davis county, Indiana,
stopped at the Julien. She went in
to the parlor Immediately after her
arrival and sent for the clerk, to
whom she related sad story. She
said she was 50 years old, and mad
been living with her son and his wife
in Indiana ; that a few weeks ago,
while recovering from severe spell
of sickness, she spilled some coffee
from her cup on the table-cloth while
at tea her daughter~in law became
enraged and ordered her out of the
house. She was feeble, and in lifting
the cup to her mouth, her hand
trembled and the contents were spill
ed. This she explained to her inhu-
man daughter-in law, but the latter
would not listen to excuses. While
the old lady was preparing to leave,
her son who evidently has not grit
enough to be called man, requested
that she be allowed to remain, but
his wife would not consent. Aged,
feeble and helpless. the oil lady went
to neighbours where she was per-
mitted to remain until strong enough
to travel A few days ago the old
lady started to Grant county where
daughter of hers lives. She inform
ed Mr.. McNear, the clerk, that she
had not cent of money, but if she
could only reach her daughter she
would be we'll cared for during the
few years of life that may be left to
her. Mr.. McNear had every atten-
ton paid to the old lady, gave her
some money and this morning escort
ed her to the G. d. and NJ. train on
which she left for Specht's Ferry,
fsom where she can easily reach her
daughters home. The first night
the old lady remained at the Julien.
Sir. McNear showed her to a room
himself, and instructed her how &c
turn off the gas and ring the bell in
case she wanted anything. She turn
ed off the gas, perhaps in experiment.
ing with it, and, wanting it re-light.
ed, stepped into the hall and called
The nj ght clerk heard her and re-
lighted the gas. In few moments
she was heard crying fire at the tor
of her voice. Several of the hotel
employees FASTENED to her room and
INQUIRED what was wrong. ooh,
said she, the candle (gas) burned sc
big, was afraid it might set the
house afre' We sincerely hope the
old lady will reach her daughter'f
home safely and be properly caret
for during the balance of her life.

Town TREASURES CANNOT BE AS
sEssoRs.-Among the laws passed this
winter is one which prohibits one per-
son holding the Office of Town Treas
urer and Town Assessor at the same
time. Inasmuch as the two offices
have quite commonly been filed by
the same person, the electors will have
to be careful at the annual meetings,
ana not follow custom at the expense
of legality.

THE LADIEs.-The bill recently
passed by the Legislature to render
women eligible to certain offices was
proper if only out of compliment to
the women Whether the majority OF
ladies desire to hold school offices is
very doubtful. We believe it is well
in this as in about everything else to
give the women the permission to say
yes or no, and make them free
agents in the matter. As to their apt
ness for teaching there is no doubt,
snd as to their ability to govern the
world is full OF evidence. In every
thing their influence is felt, and in
their own sphere their power is bene-
fetal AMI controlling. The good
sense Of any woman should indicate to
her that sphere.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE AT PATCH
GRovE.-Notice was given several
weeks ago that a Teachers Institute
would be held at Patch Grove; but
owing to bad weather and the impas-
sable condition of the roads, the APP
pointment was changed to Thursday,
February %. Again, on Tuesday the
clerk of the weather seemed determin-
ed in his opposition to the enterprise,
and gust after gust of snow-ladened
wind augured a second disappoint-
ment to the teachers of West Grant.
But Superintendent Guernsey was
not to be thwarted this time, and hap
PLY disappointed his friends by being
on hand, and promptly calling the
meeting to order at 9 o'clock Thurs
day morning.

smoothly into its thirtY-third volume
During all these long years, where'r
was sung the song of peace or flashed
the warriors shield, the HERALD has
been a welcome messenger, never
missing an issue; and this week, al
though one-half the force of the office
is i'll, it presents itself with its usual
amount ofonglnal and carefully select
ed prose.

THE BosCoBEL BANK.-This old
reliable bank F McSpaden, Presi-
dent-suspended business on Monday
afternoon last. We are not informed
of the cause of the suspension. The
reported assets of the bank amount to
sixty five thousand dollars and the
liabilities to seventy-fve thousand dol
lars At a meeting of many of the
creditors on Monday last the opinion
prevailed that the bank would be able,
if not crowded, to settle every cent of
the Indebtedness. This being the
case, the creditors as well as the bust
ness interests of Boscobel should en-
courage Mr. McSpaden in continuing
the business of the bank. No man in
the city has in the past enjoyed in a
greater degree the business confidence
of the public, and we hope that conf
dence will be speedily re-established
In another column will be seen a
notice by the President to the credit
ors to meet on the goth instant.

GUMPHREY VS.. LYONS. The case of
Gumphrey VS. Lyons has occupied the
attention of the court for the past four
days. The whole country probably
have information Of the case. The
plaintiff sued for $4,000 damages for
an assault committed on his wife, and
which plaintiff claimed resulted in or
produced a miscarriage. The cause
has created great excitement in the
vicinity in which the parties reside,
either on account Gifts merits or grow
ing out of personal feelings toward the
respective parties. The number of
witnesses in town was very great, es-
timated from rs to 100. The number
sworn for plaintiff before resting was
IA; the number called by defendant
was 8: after which 13 were recalled
by plaintiff to rebut defendants evil
dence. The greater part of the wit
nesses in attendance were doubtless
brought for the purpose of lmpeach-
ment of defendants testimony by gen
eral reputation; but as this was not
tried, the most Of the witnesses were
not used either to impeach or sustain
the witness, and the cause was closed
without such witnesses being used.
The case has become very important
in the question Of costs, but what its
merits or dement's are must be left to
the public to judge and the jury to
determine. As we 60 to press the
case is still being argued by counsel.
