IT is easier to buy b!sckberries
hero on the streets than to go in
search of that fruit in Wyoming val
ley. The experience of couple Of
interesting young people a few days
ago show that the statement just
made is not without foundation.
They went to the valley and were
famed off, with cord wood and dogs
and things, jrst as they had settled
among the thorny bush and were
engaged in the arduous task Of ex-
tracing singer for every berry in
the pail. Still, they feel triumphant,
for they brought back two quarts
of berries and the recollection Of o
pleasant time.

Candidates for County Offices.

With due respect to every person
who aspires to 2 position on the Re-
publican county ticket this fall, We
have concluded that it would not be
astute, through the TRIBUNE, to
make any distinction or express
any preference among the worthy
gentlemen who have been named in
connection with the different offices.
At the nominating convention is the
place for each candidate or his sup
porters to present his claims, and
let them there ha considered. Tho
county officers who are seeking a
denomination have performed their
duty admirably well, and all of those
who are seeking an office for tho
first time, are well qualified both in
character and ability to perform tho
duties of the positions for which
they have been named. They ara
all good Republicans have worked
for the success of the party, and will
yet grace its ranks, though they may
not now be called out as standard
bearers. The essential point is for
all to take hold and labor earnestly
together, and not let the least trivial
be the cause Of jealousy and indiifer-
ence.

We understand that Messrs. Del
ler, Pascoe, Lang and Fairchild have
struck = bonanza in the shape of a
lode of lead and blackjack on the
grounds of Mr.. James Hutchison,
less than two miles from this city.
Under the impression that there was
something there" they put a boring
machine to work on the spot, and
were rewarded for their efforts by
the discovery of lode which is pro-
nounced by experts to be rich one.
Shares, which were not above par
when operations were first CON-
menced, rapidly advanced in value
after the discovery, and consolidated
Virginia, &C., were nowhere in COM

becomes cooler they will begin work,
and we wish them success, and hope
to have the pleasure of congratulate

DIPTHERTA, much dreaded dis
ease, has swooped down upon many
a family circle in Mineral Point
lately and wrapped its members in
mantle of gloom, by taking captive
one or more darling little prattlers
therefrom; but the saddest tale to be
unstrung is that Of the death of
Owen Jones, who has actod as
clerk for Mr.. M. w. Prater the past
few months. He was q young man
of about % years, and his pleasant
manner had made him many friends
in this city. who were greatly sorrow
stricken by his death. He suffered
much for about twelve days, and
then, in spite of oil that medical
skill could suggest, his spirit fed to
other shores. The happy bride who
deckcd the hymenial altar four
months ago is now a weeping widow
upon whom the blow falls with pitt
less severity. We close gently the
doors to the sanctuary of her grief,
and leave her to find that consola-
ton which is not of the world.

proved its folly and futility. On the
