Times and Things at Trenton.

TRENTON, WIS.,, Nov. 9th, 1875.
Editor Grange Advance.
Navigation being closed business is
somewhat dull, and will be till Nature
makes the river passable for teams.
Snow seems to keep off, but we expect
good sleighing within a week. The
river closed rapidly this year. Teams
crossed on the ferry last Saturday night,
and the next morning, within twelve
hours, person could walk across on the
ice. Man may talk of building a
bridge in year, but God can build one
in night.
Our wood merchants are in hopes
Of getting fair price for wood this
season.
Our village district school will COM
mence next Monday. D. Thurston is
engaged as teacher.
These long evenings might be a ben
eft to some Of our youths if they would
attend debating school; some of our
old debaters should start one ere long.
Skating is the pastime of the day.
Our Thanksgiving shooting match
was success and passed off pleas
antly.
Our Sunday-School seems to be some
what deserted. Ifparents are too busy
or are unable to attend they could
send their children. Il would look as
well for the boys to attend the school
in neat attire, instead of lettering
around stores, hunting, etc. The ris-
ing generation will soon take the place of
the present one, and by the way a
child is raised, the company he keeps
and the language he uses, so he will be
known.
B. F. Way has been threshing late
ly. He stacked his grain in his barn
and the storms have injured it none.
. Joseph Clark, while loading some
corn in a field, had his team fright
ened and it ran away. No serious DAM
age was done.
Henry Stone is back again in his
residence. Henry is always merry
and his many friends are pleased to
see his appearance.
Epizootic is now all the rage. 1t has
got hold of the human family as we'll
as the brute. Hart and family have
been ill with it.
It has been some time since we have
had services in this village. Why is
it? Is it because we do not donate
enough, or is it that the attendance is
small? am certain it would make us
all feel better to attend church and
hear good sermon than to loiter the
time away at home.
Pork IS very high this fall, which in
sures high price for corn.
Corn husking seems to be great
dread to our farmers when the cold
weather comes, but if person has
large barn there need be no misery in
husking, for at the first fall Of snow, or
when sleds can run, it is but little trouble
to haul the corn in in the shock and
husk it in the barn. Anyone can build
a barn very cheap in country like
this, where timber is SO plentiful. It
would certainly be more pleasant to
husk corn in snug, warm barn than be
out teaming and endangering ones self
to being frozen. ... ~"
At this time of the year it is perish
ing to husk in the field, but in a barn
the cold is not noticed. .,. ,,,.t....,

Sad Accident on the Potomac.

On Sunday morning last, about II
O'Clock as Mr. George f. Knott Richard
Dietrich, Henry Backurst and the
brothers Harry {, and Joe NJ, Briggs,
the latter Of Alexandria, Va, were en-
joying themselves on the river skating,
one Of the party proposed to skate to
Alexandria When they reached Four
mile run the party in front heard the
crash of ice behind them, and on look
ing back perceived to their horror that
those who were skating hand in hand be-
hind them (Messrs. Dietrich, Joe Briggs
and Backurst) had come upon some thin
and treacherous ice which had given way
and had thrown them into the water
Mr. Harry Briggs, on seeing his bro
theirs danger, Immediately jumped in the
water, and it was only through colnbin-
ed efforts Of the party (lIessrs. Dietrich
and Backurst having safety got on solid
ice AGAIN. that the two brothers were
pulled out Of the water Mr.. Joe
Briggs, having been under the water a
long time, was carried to neighboring
house in an insensible condition. In
about an hour time he felt well enough,
however, to 60 to his home with his
brother, which is obout halfa mile from
Alexandria. Upon reaching home he
however, again relapsed into a state OF
insensibility, and despite the efforts of a
physician, was at + O'Clock p. NJ. a
corpse, death no doubt brought about by
cold and exposure. Mr. joe Briggs
was about Z years Of age.

after The assassiaaiioa, ksoNiag that
Booth had shot tse Presidew. The COM
parative mildness Of his sentence (six
years Imprisonment makes US think that
the Court had some doubts Of his being
guilty even of that. With no personal

examination Of all the testimony, we
always believed him innocent even of
knowingly aiding Booth to escape from
the theatre.
