Relative Merits of Dish-rag and Mop.

The subject was introduced by Miss Fannie
Budd, who regarded the question as one deep
" concerning housekeepers and thought it
the height of absurdity to think of comparing
the dish-cloth with the mop.rag. The other
side was advocated by Miss Barnett who is a
school.ma'am who did not think it becoming
in one engaged in the light employment Of
teaching children to undertake the settlement
Of subject of such gravity as that of the me r
it's of dish-rag and mop and therefore had
given 1t but little thought. But Miss Bellows
had gravely studied and experimental and
her opinion vas that the mop-rag was the
most useful. It was not true that the dish-rag
was the chief article in hoseIlold use. II was
not true that the cooking, baking and washing
would 90 on, and all matters slide along as
smoothly as If they were creased just because

We are pleased to inform the citizens OF this
place and vicinity, that DR.. M. Stern, the
optician of Cincinnati, o., arrived at the
Phelps House, Monday last for the purpose
of fitting all defects of the eyes with his cele-
brated Achromatic Spectacles, in scientific
manner. DR.. S. visited this town three years
ago and met with good success, people do
not only patronize him because he has a
superior quality of spectacles, they do so be-
cause he is the most skillful optician known,
he does not use a cheap eye-measure, like a
good many claiming TO be opticians. His
method of fitting the eyes is to examine them,
and give relief in all cases if possible. Per-
sons laboring under defective vision who
need artificial assistance should not fail TO see
him while they have an opportunity. He
will leave Monday morning for Boscobel,
where he can be consulted al the Central
House for a short time only.

to give their new church its first airing last
evening without troubling us. But the heav-
ems were against them. The winds blew, the
thunders roared, the lightnings flashed, and the
rain poured down and they didn't have any
festival. They must not blame us for the wa
ters We are not Moses and did not have a
rod, and did not smite any rock. The waters
came Of their own accord. But what we start
ed ont to say is that in consequence, the fei-
tival was postponed until this evening, when
we have spoken for the best kind of weather,
and We would be greatly pleased to see the
first opening of the new church a grand sue
cess. Let everybody go and pour out their
quarters and pour in the delicious strawberries,
ice cream and cake.

Potosi Gong to Pictured
Rocks, June 30, 1877.

In conversation with one of the committee
we learn that on Friday, the 29th inst, the
graduates of the Platteville Normal School in
company with the Potosi Mendotas intend
visiting Pictured Rocks and the McGregor
| and Prairie du Chen Artesian wells.
And from the arrangements already made
one is justified in considering this larger,
more interesting and pleasant party than has
yet visited the rocks; for they intend filling
four of the large and splendid Pullman passen-
ger coaches of the Chicago, Dubuque and
MINI. r. R., and we can see nothing or i'm
agine nothing to prevent its being grand
success.
THE ROCKS
are ] miles from McGregor and only two or
three hundred yards west of the railroad tracks
up very narrow ravine; east about the same
distance is the Mississippi river, with grad
ual slope from the railroad track, nice sod
or gravel bank covered with shade trees,
which is usually appropriated for spreading
out the table cloths and emptying the baskets
and is where we on our last visit saw Adam
and Eve in silent council and for the want OF
better name christened it "The Garden oil
Eden"
But like most all other divine places there
is one dangerous instrument close by and is
what along the line of the railroad is called
by railroaders
"wATER TANK
To those who are not acquainted with II II
looks like an over grown beer keg ar d is what
some of the BOYS in the Lancaster Band con-
cluded to drink out of and by so doing gave
the Reporter of the Grant County Advoeate,
who by the way must be very uncharitable
or surpicious mortal of her neighbors, an OPP
portunity of reporting them all drunk. 1t
should be remembered as only as much of
joke on the water tank as 1t acos on the Reporter;
but if we are informed correctly the Band
should not feel hurt for the Reporteress suits
our style and cannot be blamed "heaveny."
We only mention it to you who contemplate
going there on the 29tb as one thing that
caused little trouble among us who are your
predecessors,
For 'tis a warning to you,
If you understand.
So do not forget it.
Whom you're digging sand.
The McGregor and Prairie dg Chen terry
boat will transfer parties from the Rocks to
the Prairie and from there TO McGregor, CIV
ing all an opportunity of seeing the
PooNTooN BRIDGE,
which, by the way, is very interesting to any
who have not seen one, and with some will
afford more interest than the Artesian We lis.
This all told gives you an idea of what tn ere
is to be seen; the location of the Rocks, the
arrangements made, and is intended for in
sight 10 that eventful visit. Adieu.
Potosi, June 10, 1877. MOTHER.
