Western Correspondence.

LONE Rock, RrcHLAND CO., Wis, !
lt YTro9 August q, 1876 I
Ed. REPUBLICAN, - H ST i01rd
After quite lapse
of time your correspondent of the
North West improves time aud leisure
by penning a few tems from this To-
cality. fT
"The harvest is past" and the farm
ers are now stacking, threshing, &c.
The yield of wheat is not very heavy,
but oats is better than usual; some
pieces that have been threshed have
yielded one hundred bushels per acre.
Corn bids fair for splendid crop, yet
we have been visited with some very
cool weather of late in fact, colder
than | have experienced in this State
for sixteen years in the summer. On
the night of the 21st inst, we were
visited with frost; something never
known here before ut this season >of
the year. .flr Y
Local markets are as follows (:
wheat, winter, $1.05 per bushel !;
wheat, spring, $1.OO per bushel; oats,
20 cts. per bushel; rye so cts. per
bushel; Potatoes 25 cts. per bushel,
and other produce in proportion. Hops
are splendid crop, and as the pick.
ing season has commenced, the market
has opened at 80 cts. per pound.
Engineers have just concluded the
survey of proposed Rail Road from
Stevens Point north to this peace.
The new road is called the Stevens
Point & Pine River r. R., and makes
junction at Lone Rock with the
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway. This
will greatly benefit the farmers who
reside some distance north.
Health is good among the people
here; Only two deaths ADEe occurred
here during the summer: one gentle
man of rs years of age, and another
of SO years; both cases were of adj
vanced age. We are not afflicted here
as in the eastern States with conta-
gious fevers, and further north it is
reported that they have to kill some
one to Commence grave yard.
Excitement runs high here in the
political circles and as we elect Gov
ernor the coming fall the Democrats
have become ashamed of their old
name, and now style themselves "Re-
formers - this is too thin and we can
still Gee the cloven foot. They come
out under this new name here think
ing to draw the vote of the foreign
population, but it will not work. J
y Government still continues work on
the water communication between. the
Mississippi and the Lakes, and half
million dollars have been expended
here during the season ON the above
works. eaH rr hzr
l notice with pleasure that the name
of the editor of the REPUBLICAN is
used in connection with the Office of
State Senator in your district. We
hope that the people will vote for the
best man; and that you will be elect.
ed to that honorable position is our
worst wish for We editor.
AT present writing the Government
has civil engineers at work examining
our mineral landsj their white tents
can be seen some five miles east of
this. reminding us Of some picket post
in the south during the war.

TitusviIIe Letter.
TrrusvILLE, Aug. 2Sth. rs.

1lrUSvILLE, Aug. ZSth, 20.
w. r. DuNN.-Thinking they may
be interesting to some Of the readers
of your paper, we will write you a
word or two in relation to the new oil
territory lying about II miles south
Of this place.
In May last, Milton Stuart put down
we'll, at venture, on the Robinson
Farm, which, to the surprise of every
body, commenced flowing at the rate
of 250 bbls. per day, and is now
pumping 70.
Robinson and Wm. Barnsdall inn
mediately sunk a we'll about 200 yds
from this one which il doing, by to-
days measurement. 225 bbls. per day.
Stuart put down two wells on the
Thompson Farm, which joins on the
north, which are pumping together
about 70 bbls. per day. He is now
drilling two wells ON the Robinson
Farm.
Mr.. Fertig put down q well--40
yds. from Robinson's house--on the
Ingram tract, which is pumping 25
bbls, per day. Robinson and Barns
dali are putting up two rigs, and with
the rigs being put up, and wells being
drilled on the adjoining farms, one
would scarcely recognize the quiet
place Of short time ago. OF course
there are 'dry holes" in the vicinity.
one just finished on the west; one or
two on the north, and several on the
east and south which were drilled
some time ago, would lead us to infer
that there is-a "pocket' right here, or
if "belt" it is very much broken.

Yours respectfully,

Esq. hlll OF tagunduS, alter an
absence of nearly year. The most of
which time has been spent in the
Black Hills, has come home because
of sort of a preconcerted arrange
ment between Uncle Sam and the red
skins, for the purpose Of making it
difficult if not impossible for miners
to pursue their peaceful avocation
among those celebrated hills. Among
other interesting adventures which be-
fell him while looking around out
there, was a chase of himself and
companion by small party of aborig-
mes. 1t appears that he and another
man from Fagundus were out pros
pecting about forty or fifty miles from
their party, when they discovered
these Indians, six of them, skulking
around, evidently bunting hair. The
Squire and companion watched their
opportunity, and, under the cover of
darkness succeeded in eluding the vigil
lance of the savages, after crawling
some four miles on their hands and
knees If the other parts of the bo'ly,
aud the mind, were as we'll prepared
as the knees after that, the Squire and
companion would be in good condi-
tion for joining the Methodist Church.
We would respectfully refer their case
to Brother Meehling. A bottle, ar
small vial, was brought home by Esq.
Hill, filled with gold mined by him
self in the Black Hills, We did not
hear just what the Squire thoughE OF
the prospects, bdt it is said that he in
tends going out there again just as
soon as government makes it safe, SO
that the mining must be tolerably
good. Perhaps We may give our read
ers something further on this subject,
some time in the future. Ft''fN
blessed be croquet. If it wasn't
for this game there would be numSer-
less men and boys, beside girls and
women of our place who wouldn't
know what in this world to do. 1t is
generally supposed that after two or
three thousand games, that croquot
ceases to be interesting, but there are
at least fifty good witnesses to the con
trary in this town, The game has
been brought down to a science, and a
green hand,stands 70 chance at all to
win a game. y oatA AAa
The aged father of John Wood
cock, of Neillsburg, diedat the resi-
dence Of the latter, on Saturday morn
ing last. He was auA0IA Fellow and
quite number Of that fraternity from
this place attended the funeral on
The funeral was very large
as he was highly respected during life.
1t is likely that the Republican
Senatorial Conference will be held in
this place at some time soon. We
hear of no Republican candidates for
the position in either Elk or Cameron
counties, SO, we suppose, Clarion and |
Forest will have to settle it among
themselves. .,r

Peaches are said TO be drug in

cannot perceive that they are so in
this part. None Of our merchants
bring them on and the few that are

Yesterday, Mr.. E. H. Chase put
coat Of paint on Dale & Partridge's
new barn, in six hours and thirty-five
minutes. The surface covered was
235 yards. The paint is we'll put on.
125 yards is considered good days
work for painter.
The engine house Of the Superior
Mills is under way, and will be fin
ished this week, undoubtedly. Ow-
ing to the size of the boilers, and the
stouework supporting them, a large
structure was made necessary, and it
looks almost as large as the mill.

sheep belonging to Commissioner John
Thompson, of Stewards Run, one day

death about two minutes after the
sheep was killed.
