FINE Work OF AHT.-It has been
our privilege to see an unfinished
picture, being drawn by r. c. Evans,
of this city, representing QEaen
Esther accusing Haman before King
Ahasuerus, at the banquet to which
she had invited her royal spouse and
the enemy of her people. The de-
sign is entirely original with Mr..
Evans, and it is his intention when
completed to secure a copyright OF
the work. Not only in our iudg-
ment, but also in that of connoisseurs
OF art the picture is pronounced
worthy to rank with the works OF
the most renowned modern artists.
If completed as well as begun it can
not fail to give Mr.. Evans high
standing as an artist His genius in
this direction has long been recog-
nized within the limited circle Of his
acquaintance, and that sooner or
later it would bring him into promi-
nence his friends have ever fondIy
oped

WE can boast of the business dops
in our city in as loud and clear
tones as neighboring cotemporaries.
Many thousands of people--mostly
farmers with their produce-were
in our midst on Saturday. The bus
mess appearance was very bright,
and all the merchants seem satisfied
as to their share of trade. On Mou-
day cattle were marketed here in
large numbers, besides hogs, grain,
wood, ore, etc. There is room for
doubt whether any place in the State
Of the same size can show better
standing than Mineral Point; and il
such be the case, why can't we have
a grand Centennial Celebration

LINDEN PRospERlTY.--At present
we find Linden in prosperous con
dition,, considering the hard times
throughout the country. The min
ing interests were never better than
now. The Linden Mine, owned, by
Ross d Henry, is in paying condi-
ton, turning out from fifteen to
thirty tons of blackjack per day,
besides quantity of mineral. Also
the mine owned by Poad, Bennett &
Co., which bids fair for the future.
In addition to these We have several
new prospects in this place, one
struck by Mr.. Tamblyn, which is
payable for either lead or zinc ore.
Also the diggings worked by Rich
ards, Fall, and party, on la.Dd owned
by Mrs. George, in which several
men are employed; here they have
good sheet of mineral and black
jack from forty to fifty feet wide.
The last, but not the least, among
the big things discovered here is
the centennial bar, on land owned by
the Jacobs brothers, and worked by
| the same here we have the pure
mineral in chunks that are bewitch-
ing to the eye, some Of which are
laid aside to GO to the Philadelphia
Exhibition. ANY

THE RAILROAD TO DoDGEv1LLE.--

y THE RAILROAD TO DoDGEvILLE.-
The people not only of Dodgeville,
but also of Moscow and Ridgeway,
are enthusiastic on the subject Of the
proposed railroad from Freeport,
land great confidence is manifested
in the ultimate success of the eAter-
prise. Having the prosperity Of
Mineral Point at heart we feel a
lively interest in this subject, and
shall try to keep posted as to its
progress, with hope that the peo-
pie of Mineral Point will awake to
the Importance of having the extern
sion made from this city before it is
too late. The last Chronicle has the
following in relation to the matter:
Messrs. Whitman and Norris, the committee
who visited Frceport last week for the purpose
of feeling the pulse" of its people on The rail
road question, bring back a very encouragng
report They found the lesaiaE citizens and
business nTcn of frs city fully awake on the
subject, and but one sentiment prevailing
among thcm-that road up the Pecatonica
valley to Dodgeylllc, and thence TO the Wis
consn lumber regions, would be good thing
for Freeport, and that if the proper effort was
made along the line there would be no trouble
about finding a company to furnish the residue
Of capital required and build it. The commit
tee were assured that the people of Freeport
would do their full share toward the road and
that "tAe ball should be kept rolling" ut the
south end
Messrs. Whitman and Morris also speak in
high terms of the very loepilabe manner in
which they were treated By the Frceport peo-
pie, the most marked attention having been
paid them during their sojourn there, and
every one giving them the hearticst welcome z
| On hearing the report of Mcssrs. Whitman
and Norris Saturday night, the Village Board
appropriated $50 toward defraying the ex.
penscs Of the survey, and it is expected that
the Town Board will appropriate like amount
at az early day, that having been generally ad
judged to be the fsirest way to issse the funds
for the purpose. The Board appointed two o
its members, b. Thomas, ST., and John Ell
wood, TO act in conjunction with the former
committee AID see that the interests Of the ri
lage are properly cared for in the expenditure
of the money.
The people of Moscow and Rdgcwoy are ,t
have a meeting to discuss their interests IN con
nection with this project next Thursday after
noon ut Adansville, and fron all along The
line the interest i, reported rs unabated. Only
let the good work now started "go brayey on,
and ere the close OF &c, n railroad from Free
port, through Dodgeville, to- Richland Center
