beg About l O'Clock Sunday morning
the mill of e. G. Rodolf, on Mill
Greek, was discovered to be on fire,
and before anything efficient could be
done to stay the flames it was damaged
beyond saving: The flames started in
the office, and had eaten through to
the mill proper before any thing wrong
was suspected. The building was val :
ued at $1,000, of which $4,000 was
covered by insurance. G. johnson. the
lessee, had about $500 worth of grain
and stuff in store, and G. G.. Rodolf
some 5000, all of which was destroyed,
and will be total loss as it was unin-
sured. We understand Mr.. Rodolf
does not propose to rebuild immedi-
ately, and Mr.. johnson advertises
elsewhere for another mill to rent or
work. Coming in these hard times is
quite serious loss. -Muscoda Neaos,

For God hath made this nation great,

Favorable Action by the Village
4 Board, &c. F

Messrs. Whitman and Morris, the
committee who visited Freeport, last
week, for the purpose of ssfeeling the
pulse" of its people on the railroad
question, bring back very encourag
lug report. They found the leading cit
liens and business men ofthe city fully
awake on the subject, and but one SEN
timent prevailing among them-that
a road up the Pecatonica valley to
Dodgeville, and thence to the Wlscon,
sin 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 find
ing company to furnish the residue
Of capital required and build it. The
committee were assured that the people
Of Freeport would do their full share
toward the ROAD, and that 1.-THE ball
should be kept rolling" at the south
end.
Messrs. Whitman and Morris also
speak in high terms of the very hospit
able manner III which they were treated
by the Freeport people, the most mark
ed attention having been paid them
during their sojourn there, and every
one giving them the heartiest welcome.
On hearing the report Of Messrs.
Whitman and Morris, Saturday night,
the Village Board appropriated $3.50
toward defraying the expenses of the
survey, and it is expected that the
Town Board will appropriate like
amount at an early day, that having
been generally adjudged to be the fair
est way to raise the funds for the pur-
pose. The Board appointed two of its
members-Messrs. b. Thomas, ST., and
John Ellwood-to act in conjunction
with the former com mittee and see that
the interests of the village are proper
ly cared for in the expenditure Of the
money. as
The people of Moscow and Ridge
way are to hayea meeting to discuss'their
interestsn connection with this project,
next Thursday afternoon, at Adams
vile, and from all along the line
the interest is reported as unabat.
ed. Only let the good work now
started s'go bravely on" and ere
the close of '76, a railroad from Free
port, through Dodgeville, to Richland
Center, will be fixed fact.

Arena.

From the Star, Feb. 18th.
Mr.. R. Bently is hauling wood from
below this village to Sank. and it pays
He hauls two cords at time on the
ice.
The river at this point is so higf
that the ice covers the most Of the
swamps and large portions Of the marsh
on both sides.
Mr.. st. Paul & Milwaukee, who
owns The railroad, is In no danger Of
burning mitch wood this season, if 9th
er depots are to be compared with
this.
We all want a railroad. Arena
wants one, Dodgeville wants one, and
Mineral Point wants one. Sooner OF
later Dodgesllle will have one, either
running east and west or north and
south. If the former, Arena will lose
the lions share of her present trade
and Mineral Point will be badly dam
aged; if it Isl north and south one Arena
will lose no great share of her present
trade, but the Point will be effected
about the same as in the former in
stance, unless it comes through the Elk
tension of the Mineral Point road to
this place or some station west Of us.
There is little prospect that road
through Ridgeway Will soon be built
but a road opening up the large
extent of country south of us is but :
fact Of the near future; and what roac
can be as easily built as the Poin
railroad. Surely it has no competitor
in point of cheaphess. Then that i.
the road we want, with Arena its juno
tons with the St. Paul Railroad.
