ELSEWHERE a Dodseville cores
Pondent reports the doings of the
greenback county convention. 1t is
sand DR.. Cutler, Owen King and VIM.
a. Pierce will accept the nominations
rendered them, but that Mr. Shum-
way will decline the nomination for
School Supt., on the ground that
he caunot discharge the duties of
the Office if elected. II Dr. Cutler
don't repent before election day. he
will gobble about half the votes in
Iowa equity that would be east for
the Democratic nominee, and prob
ably score or two that should be
given to Mr.. Campbell. 1t seems to
an outsider that between Owen king
and David Mcfarland, the Republi-
cans have a good show to elect n
good man of their own in that Dem
ocratic stronghold Mr.. pierce's
candidacy in the Southern district
won't cut much Of figure, unless it
compels the Democrats to accent
him as their party candidate, to
which we should raise no objection.

found. But the best of calculations fail
at times and contrary to all expectations
the p. & o. engine was at the Junction ut

from the beaten party. 1--WE didn't try -

vengeance, for the facts are the r. g. L..
track was laid for three-fourths of mile
between the Boro and the Centre, (where
there should have been 9th degree

reach the Junction first. This 81 mile of

A singular freak occurred at Hardwick
on Monday by runaway horse. Itseems
that L. V. Still had occasion to go into
Butler Shipman's field north of the rail-
road depot and hitched his horse to a rot
ten bar post. By some means the horse
pulled the post over leaving it dangling
by the halter. After swinging around
the horse made down street on good time,
dragging the post, when just above Ill. r..
Mack's marble shop from some cause he
turned in striking the corner of the shop
with one wheel and then the die to fine
schotch granite monument, knocking the
die some four inches from it's position be-
tween the base and shaft and turning the
same nearly quarter way around, and
leaving the same without a scratch. The
blow brought the horse and wagon into a
pile together badly damaging the latter,
while the horse went OIL to the hotel shed
where he stopped without injury. Get
the Scotch granite for your monuments
and have somthing proof against runa-
way horses as we'll as time.

NORTH HYDE PARK.

Net little excitement has prevailed in
this usually quiet village during the past
week, Two important and exciting Grim
inal trials have taken place. Mrs. Har-
riet Worcester and others were recently
arrested for completely in cutting Mr..
Ober's driving belt. The trial occurred
on Saturday last and very strong evidence
was educed against Mrs. Worcester. One
very reliable witness saw her take a knife
from her brother and aftcrward he also
saw her creeping under the back side of
the mill. He had also heard severe threats
made against Mr.. ODER on that same day.
1t was also a day on which Mrs. Worees-
ter knew that Mr.. Ober's people were all
absent. She was bound up for trial at
county court under 5000 bonds and will
doubtless make trip south by and by.
1t is hoped, however, by many that she
may net go maccOmpanied, since her
sister-in-law, Mrs. Sarah Worcester, has
also exhibited desire to board out,
Some three weeks ago she was arrested
for an assault on Mrs. Spaulding, but be-
fore her trial came on she made an assault
on old Mr.. Asaph Spaulding, man of
80 years, and striking him with blud-
geon of some kind, knocking him insen-
sible in which condition he lay for fonr
hours and it is the opinion of DR.. Wood
ard that if the blow had been received ID
inch higher on the temple it would have
proved fatal. She has now been put I'M
