A Joke on O Fond Father.

On last Sunday one of our citizens
took his little girl ca child about three
and one half years oldD on his knee,
with the remark, "Come my little
girl, let me tell you about your Sun
day School lesson for to-day. SO that
when you 90 in your class you can
tell your teacher all about it," The
subject of the lesson was "Deniel III
the lions den" The father related to
his child how Daniel, u good and holy
man, was by Il cruel order Of wicked
king thrown into i den Of fierce lions.
But that God whom Daniel served
and prayed to three times il day, pro-
tectcd his servant from Ill harm by
stopping the mouths Of the lions.
For said the father, "lions cat

The Lead Market.

The glut in the lead market deals 4
heavy blow to the industry Of our
region, and sets Us upon studying the
situation Of things earnestly. a large
and oyer-production in the quarter of
the silver mines of Utah and Colorado
is a cause readily to be understood.
Accepting this, the inquiry arises.
what is the likelihood Of the market
widening, Of the commodity being put
to new uses, or of its being consumed
more lavishly than heretofore?
AS we are informed, with respect to
one form Of the manufactured article,
lead oXyde. there has been no oppor-
tunity given to the market to spread,
The article iii the shops il scarcely
cheapcned ut all, us compared with its
price when ore was worth double its
present price. The manufacturers Of
lead paint have joined iii a league to
keep the price up. The consequence
is, we, the producers of the raw mate
rial. have not the relief which should
naturally fall to us from an enlarged
consumption keeping step, to degree
with the more abundant supply. Shall
we be driven to become manufac-
turers as well is producers OF lead?

Dodgeville Chronicle During the
afternoon Of Thursday, 30th ult., the
houses Of Messrs. John Carter and
Richard Temby, residing about three
miles northeast Of this village were
entered and ransacked by some party
or parties unknown. Messrs. Carter
and Telnby, with their families were
in the village attending Burr Robbins
show. The thieves must have been
cognIzant Of this fact, and piled their
devilish acts accordingly. After II
thorough search they succeeded in
finding about $1,000 in money, which
with some articles of clothing they
appropriated to their own use.

shown, and now have in our Office, u
check upon II bank in Mineral Point,
which in like manner fl0ated down
upon the premises of Mr.. f. Schadle,

curious fact is that both the receipt
and the check are signed by the same
man, John SpensIey Of Mineral Point,
and both undoubtedly commenced
their aerial journey Of some seventy
miles ut the same time, impelled ny
