Mr.. MARK SMITH, an old and es-
teemed citizen of Linden, died on
the evening Of the 18th. A cores
pondent of the Dodgeville Chronicle
says: "Soon after supper he walked
out, and not returning as soon as his
wife thought proper, considering his
condition, she went in search of him,
and found him lying against the side
Of an out-building unable to speak.
He had been out about ten minutes
only. He was taken into the &c
and soon expired. He was SO yea, )
of age.

MINERAL POINT, WISCONSIN, WEDNESDAY, MAY "a 1876

THE Centennial Fair and Festival
which was held last Thursday and
Friday evenings, in the lecture
room of the NJ. E. Church, furnished
to goodly concourses large amount
of delightful recreation from the
sordid cares of the busy times which
now environ us. Not more courte-
Gus and serviceable could have been
ye people of 100 years ago than those
who, in antique costume, ministered
to guests who called for ices, straw
berries, cake and coffee. Booths
corresponding to the l3 original col
onies and presided over by beautcous
naidens and vigorous youths, offered
choice to all who would be enter
tanned.
The qualification, at having caused
so much pleasure, which the ladies,
who had this festival in charge, must
experience, is, no doubt, very much
increased by the fact that the re-
ceipts were beyond expectations
large; they were $3.50.

There was no insurance upon any
of this property, and the loss falls
heavily upon some of our most en-
terprising citizens. The fire orig
mated in the shed which stood up
against the rear of the rock struct-
ure. This shed had formerly been
the old wood shop, but had been
moved back and used as lumber
end store room. Of course nobody
knows how the fire started, but it is
rumored that some children were
playing furnace" in the straw which
Uttered the floor, at that very time.
The lessons of the fire are very
numerous and full of import for
each and all of our citizens. 1t is
hoped that out of this evil may ac-
crue profit to those who needed in
struction, and additional caution to
those who foresaw the possibility Of
such calamity as this.
An excellent suggestion has been
made, that q well be sunk in the
qublic square, and furnished with
wind mill and reservoir.
Since that is the highest point OF
ground in the city, all parts could
be easily commanded. Excellent
and abundant water could be reached
at depth of 100 feet. Besides the
diminished danger from fire, an inn
mediate return for the necessary
outlay would be secured in low
tax for the water, which would be in
demand, and in sprinkling the streets,
thus doing away with the present

FREIGHT REDUCTIoN.-By an ar
rangement between the Illinois Cen
trail and Mineral Point Railroads, q
large reduction has been made in
tariff rates between Dubuque, Galena
and Freeport, and points on the NJ.
P. r. r. Under the new rates grain,
merchandise, lumber, and other
things can be shipped to or from
points named cheaper than to or from
Chicago, practically giving us the i'd
vantage of two markets for our prod
ucts, and two depots to select our
lumber from.

FIRE! FIRE!

1t is not often that our quiet city
is visited by the fire fiend, but when
he does come he calls out an excited
and numerous crowd to witness his
terrible destructiveness.
Last Monday between the hours
of II and l, when nearly every one
were enjoying their midday meals,
dense volumes of smoke were seen
issuing from the rear of the large
stone building occupied as Wagon,
Carriage and Blacksmith shop, and
situated almost at the head Of High
street. The bells soon began their
mad expostulation, and the people
to gather around the blazing struct-
ure. 1t was in vain to attempt saw
ing the building, already in flames,
or any of its valuable contents. All
efforts were bent towards saving the
surrounding dwellings. Furniture
was hastily moved, and lines of men
were established to pass buckets Of
water to other mon who had mount
ed the roofs. Men with hooks and
ladders did good execution in tear
ing down out-buildings and scaling
walls. BY persistent efforts and the
favors of kind fortune, the flames
did not spread further in their de-
structive work, and no lives were
lost; and indeed none were cndan-
gered except in the attempts to save
property, since the shop had been
vacated by the workmen, who had
not yet returned from dinner. 1t
we're invidious to mention the ex-
ploits of individuals where SO many
shone; but the courage of some
who manipulated the ladders, who
drove away the hen aud chickens
who brought bar of Z inch iron to
prop the unsupported wall, who
seized the leaky 4 quart sprinkler
to extinguish the conAagration,
should be embalmed in the story OF
him who shall worthily chronicle the
striking events in Mineral Point life.
The total loss of property may be
seen from the following figures,
which may be relied upon as ac-
curate:

arrested at Dubuque.
WE are pleased to note the ap-
pointment of Rev. T. Kent as pastor

himself reputation which must be
a pleasure to enjoy.

have great reason to regret our want
of proficiency in that branch of study

HYGIENE Culture.

A correspondent of the New Eng
land Farmer tells how he eradicates
weeds, and we copy him to show
tie results Of vegetable fertilization.
The experience will doubtless please
some OF our readers "Some fifteen
years ago turned up an acre of rich
land and sowed it in the proper sea-
son with rye. 1t came up perfectly
well, and promised a good crop. In
the spring it looked very hourishing,
but there soon appeared multitudes of
weeds, which continued to flourish
till, at the time for harvest, they were
much more CONSPICUOUS than the rye.
After threshing, the straw, which l
valued more than the grain, sold very
i'll, hardly at halt the usual price in
Boston. The rye itself was full of
seeds, many Of which refused to sep.
arate by the winowing. | determin-
ed to avoid this evil if could SO
plowed up an acre, next to that which
had served me so i'll, let it be until
next spring, and waited until a rich
crop of weeds sprang up, which, when
they were five or six sinches high, l
plowed in, and waited till another
crop ofsomewhat later weeds were in
the same condition these were plow-
ed in, and afterward q third crop of
the latest weeds was served in the
same manner 1t was then soWn with
rye, and produced the cleanest and
most beautiful and luxuriant crop l
had ever seen. | have no doubt that
three crops Of weeds did the land more
good than an ample covering of barn
manure would have done. The same
course essentially pursued since has
been equally successful. My crop of
rye CHS season was the best and larg-
est | have ever had, and the straw W as
the best-perfectly clean"

Tree Peddlers.

| Persons moving from the city to
the country with the intention of max
Ing it their homes are quickly besieg-
ed by the watchful tree peddler
These men are always equipped with
4 goodly supply OF books filled with
colored plates Of monstrosities in
fruits and flowers, attractive and en-.
ticing to the novice, and more so when
their good qualities are deity and in
geniously described by the glib-tongu.
ed fellows, who seldom fail in captur-
ing their victim ii not at first, sure
ly at the second, third, or fourth visit.
The stock of trees and plants with
which they fill their orders is usually
OF an inferior quality, seldom true to
name; but their prices run from so to
100 per cent, higher than those at
which frstclass trees, plants, or vines
can be purchased from responsible
nurserymen who have regulations to
maintain.
These tree peddlers, in order to per-
feet a sale, often represent themselves
as authorized agents OF nursery firms,
with whom they have no such connec-
ton, They go from place to place and
buy at very low prices what is known
to the trade as "hospital stock" tn,
cuttings OF one or more years business,
and such stockas nurserymen wouldn't
send out to their regular customers.
1t is, indeed discouraging to wait four
or five years tora pear-tree to come
into bearing, and then find that, in
stead of a Bartlett or Seckel, you have
some worthless sort that has no value,
fit only to feed to the hogs.
The best and least expensive way to
get truit,trees, vines, or plants, is to
direct to some well.known nursery
firm you then get what you order,
and if it does not turn out well, there
is way of redress Those who will
purchase their stock from itinerant tree
vendors are almost certain to be chea-
ted.
