Mineral Point items.
From the Tribune, Jan. 18th

From the Tribune, Jan. 18th.
Mr.. J. j. Smith, former Conductor
of the Mineral Point railroad, died al
Pittsburg last week. His remains
were taken to Cedar Falls for intcrment
on Friday, the 9TH.
Taxes in this city are az the rate Of
4 per cent. of assessment. But a
small part is yet paid iii. There seems
to be as great difficulty among the peo-
pie to raise the amount of taxes as two
years ago, when the percentage was
three times as high. This is attribu-
ted to the general depression Of bust
ness and scarcity of money.
SAD RErURN.-Capt. Philip Lawrence
and wife arrived by the noon train yes
terday, accompanying the remains of
their eldest child, Lulu, for. intsrment
in our city cemetery. With many
other friends we extend sympathy to
the bereaved parents. Though sad
the cause of their coming, they will
find many to bid them hearty well
Gomez
HARD CASES CoRALLED.-On Mon
day evening our efficient constable,
Connaughton, arrested and placed in
limbo "Foung Doc" Maple and one
Julius Moletzo, lately employed as a
cigar maker in this city, The particu
lar crime for which they were arrested,
we understand, is for stealing mineral
from one of our shelters, and selling it
to another; but they are undoubtedly
guilty Of many other depredations, of
some of which it is hoped they will be
convicted; and receive the punishment
they deserve. These two are Of gang
of sneak-theives and roughs that infest
this section of our State, and their ar
rest, it is hoped, will have good eff
feet upon others. Hugh Connaughton
has had his eye on them for long
time, and is entitled to great credit for
the perseverance,, zeal and intrepidity
he has displayed in overhauling them.

tits but natural for people suffering
with Consumption, Coughs, Severe Colds,
or any other disease of the Throat and
Lungs, to pu. off from day to day buying
an article that they know has cured their
neighbor, friend, or relative, yet they have
no faith in it until it is too late. If you
will go to your Druggist, JAMES RoBERTs,
and get a bottle of BosCHEE's GERMAN
SYRUP, your immediate cure is as certain
as you live; it has lately been introduced
in this country from Germany. Sample
Bottles of this medicine can be obtained
for 10 cents to try its superior virtue.
Regular size 70 cents. Try it, two doses
will relieve any case.
