MINING ITEMs.-The Dubuque
Telegraph say that William True
and Tom Cunningham are old miners
and have lately boon prospecting in
tho neghborhood of Catfish Mill, or
the tlaff. Monday last they struck
cave, 100 feet wide, so feet high
and several hundred long. There is
much lead 10 sight. and it is supposed
to contain three million pounds. The
lucky finders arc excited over their
good fortune, and their many friends
congratulate them.
Lead is quoted in ST Louis at SEQ
6.I0 per 100 ib'.
Mining operations in this section
are to be conducted upon an extern
sivc scale during the coming fall and
winter
A miners Association is to be
formed in Dubuque, for the mutual
benefit of those engaged in the bust
ness.
The Excelsior Diggings, on the
land of the McNulty estate, at ShuIs-
burg, are opening out rich, and now
gives promise of being the best pay
ing mines in the neighborhood.
They are owned by Mes7rs j. e..
Hoover, S. Richard, Henry Stephens

WHAT CONSTITUTES A WATER
coURsE.-In tie supreme court de-
cisions recently published we find the
following definition Of a watercourse,
which will be found of interest to
many:
Zurich vs.. Richter.
|. A "watercourse" is n stream of water,
usually flowing in certain direction, in a
regular channel, with bed and banks; though
il IS not necessary that the water should flow
continually, but the channel may sometimes
dry.
Q The term s'watercourse" does not include
occasional bodies OF surface water descending
from the hills at certain seasons, down the
hoIlows and ravines, without any definite
channel, during times Of rains or the melting
of snow and ice.
g. In the case Of such mere surface water,
not constituting watercourse, the owner of
lower land has 4 right to obstIuct its natural
flow over his land by preventing it from com

A Fatal Case OF HydrOPhODia-Sad
Death of a Child from Drink

Law.
Correspondents Of the Union and American
GAINESVILLE, April 6.-Several weeks
ago little boy was bitten BY a mad dog,
about three miles below Oak Wood, on
the Dover and Clarksville road. The lit
tie fellow did not seem to realize any ma
terial injury for about forty days, when he
was seized with a severe attack Of hydro
phobia and died in very few days. Acalf
and several hogs were bitten and they also
died.
Last week Robert Stone, a little son Of
Michael Stone, about seven years Of age,
met his death under the following rather
singular circumstances: Mr.. Stone, the
father Of the lad. had a lOg-rolling, and for
the occasion a jug Of whisky was procured
and was placed under a bed, where the
child found it and drank a very heavy
draught Of the spirits. In a few hours he
was timber Inder its influence, and was
put TO bed with the hope that he would be
call right in the morning." He aWoke in
the night. The liquor had flown 90 his
head and attacked the brain. Seven con-
vulsiOus followed and he died, deeply IA
mented by his parents, in about foTty-eight
hours.
The election for Tax Assessor, yesterday,
of Mr.. r. II. Williams, is a choice cslcU-
lated to give very general satisfaction to
the people, and reflects wisdom upon our
corps Of magistrates.
The wheat crop is looking well very gen.
orally over Montgomery county, while the
average sOwn is unusually large. It is
worthy Of remark that the wheat sOwn
with the drill stood the severity Of the win
ter far better than that which was sOwn
broadcast.
The people Of Montgomery are making
every preparation to plant large crops Of
corn and tobacco, and a. the times are
unusually severe, they regard the recent act
passed by the Legislature granting a few
months respite on their taxes for 1874 as
very OppOrtune.
The general sentiment in regard TO the
dog law is that our late adjourned Iegisla-
tuTe acted a. the old woman said the
preacher did when she wanted him to pray
for a rain in behalf Of her garden, which
was greatly needing the gentle shower.
The divine offered his petition, and in an
swer thereto San old field soaSCr and a
genuine gully washer fell, Whereupon the
old lady remarked, UAh. that is always the
way with these Methodist preachers, they
always overdo the thing" We must "be-
ware Of dogs" ROAMER.

LONDON, April 8, $50 A. M.-The Ber-

ing article saying:
1Recent events unfortunately render it
too probable that the present French As
sembly, fearing that it viii have a Repub-
lican majority in the next Assembly dis
posed to peace, are anxious to precipitate a
war of revenge under the dangerous
auspices Of Marshal MacAlahon and
the Orleans princes, while the
strong body Of royalist deputies will be
placed in position to profit by the restOra-
tiOn Of monarchy. War accordingly is
coming, although the clouds gathering on
the horizon may yet be dispersed. The
Austrian conservatives are endeavOEing to
oust Andressey from the cabinet, with
view to participating in the coming event.
The greater part of the uppeE classes
in Italy are ready to join any
ally against Germany, considering her anti
Papal attitude hostile to Italian interests.
Yet il is by no means certain that France
will be able to procure an Austrian alli-
ance. just now If her endeavOgs fail, the
war will probably be delayed, but things
will reach pass when the German people
should be better acquainted with the rela-
tions of the situation"
The Berlin correspondent Of the London
Times says this article is likely to have a
strong effect and alarming rumOrs are rife.
The same correspondent says, since the
meeting Of the Emperor Francis Joseph
and King Victor Emanuel, there is even
less prospect than before in Berlin Of con-
certing common measures with Austria and
Italy in relation to the personal liberty Of
the Pope.
