RAILROAD EXTENSION.

Beyond oil question there will
soon be an eXtention of the NJ. =.
Il. Il. through Iowa county. Within
Il year Dodeeville will be the termi-
nus unless all signs fail, and soon
thereafter the extension will no
doubt be pushed northwarl until
the piperies OF the north are tapped.
The only question that seems not To
be fully determined, is the course
from DodgeyiIle. Indications how
ever, point most strongly TO route
along military ridge, westerly from
D.. to the head waters of the Blue
river, near Wingyille, thence to tho
Wisconsin river, and up Mill Creek
toward Tomah. Such n course is
said to be the most feasible, and di-
rect to the lumber regions and il
the extension Is with view Of ben
eiltting Mineral Point as little as
possible as we'll as tho northern
towns of the county, it will answer
that purpose as we'll as any suggest
cd. BY such an extension, our city
will be within a semicirc!e, and tho
northern tier OF towns will be cx~
cluded from communication South
as completely as now. But railroads
are built for profit by those who
own them, and not for the benefit
Of the people who originally furnish
ed the capital--You see.
Z. S,-Since writing tho above We
find the in the Madison Jomnai Of
Saturday last: "a resolution Of tho
Mineral Point Railroad Company.
was fled in the Office of the Scene
tary Of State, to-day providing for
an extension Of said railway, from
its present terminus ia the city Of
Mineral Point, n)rthward to or near
the village of Dodgeviilo, and from
thence in westerly and northwest
ery directions to the village OF
Muscoda, total distance Of about
35 miles. 1t is understood that this
important extension will be built by
the company as fast as possible.

Doctor VIVIAN has had another
seige Of the Milwaukee House of
correction investigation, occupying
full week. We understand that
the Board of which the Doctor is a
member will prepare a report to be
submitted to the Legislature, sug.
gesting remedies for some of the
evils found to exist. We hope the
result will be to wipe out all con-
uection between the State and the
disgraceful institution, or else to
place it directly under State control,
as the prison at Waupun is. AS at
present managed the State is sub.
ject to criticision for its manage.
ment, while having not the least
authority to dictate its regulations
or anything to say as TO who shall
have charge over it.

office in the register of deeds. The
object of the resolution is to disclose
to assessors the amount Of loans Sc
cured by mortgages, and making
them liable to assessment and taxa
ton. The questions likely to grow
out Of this action viii involve the
powers of county boards, and the
authority of assessors to assess citi-
zens upon such evidence as this res
olution assumed to make conclusive
upon them. Bills, looking to the
accomplishment OF this purpose, have
been before the legislature for q
number of sessions, but have failed
of becoming laws. The subject will
doubtless be brought before that
body at its next session In the
meantime, it is well worth the con-
sideration of citizens.

A GENEROUS OFFER.--We see it
stated in the Democrat, that exc ov-
ernor Washburn has rendered forty
acres of land as a gift to the S. w.
Wisconsin Industrial Association,
for fair grounds The land we
understand lies along the ridge
north and west Of Gillmann's brew
cry. Beyond doubt good fair
ground and race track could be
made there, and il road to it along
the east line Of Judge Cothren's field
can be secured, the objection of dis
tance will be largely overcome. The
amount the society would have to
pay for other grounds, if expended
in preparing that rendered by Gov,
Washburn would certainly make it
as desirable in all respects save
that of distance, to any obtainabIe.
Whether the gift be accepted or not,
the generous offer will be fully APP
preciated by the society ard the
community generally.

should, and the family of wife No. =

Il. R. ACCIDENT. This commu-
nifty was shocked on Friday last to
learn that a man had been killed at
Warren by the Mineral Point train,
The unfortunate man was n resident
of Darlington, named Barney Me-
Carville, a worthy citizen. He was
standing on the track intent on
watching the operation OF the air
brakes on the Illinois Central train,
and not noticing some ears being
backed onto the track wh9reon he
stood, was knocked down and run
over by them. One or more cars
passed over both his legs near the
thighs, crushing them terribly. He
survived only a few hours. His
body was brought to Darlington by
special train, where he leaves wife
and several children. From all ac-
counts we hear Of the distressing
affair, no blame attaches to any one
save the victims temporary absence
of thought as to his position at the
time.

neglect so important an event.
Happy should be the home, how
ever humble. which finds every little
pillow occupied with its curly head,
and no little stocking missing from
its handy place by the chimney cor

THE following, found in the Red
Cloud (Neb,) Chief testiiies that our
late townsman, J. w. Sherwood, and
family, are appreciated in their new
home, and have there as well as here
many sympathizers in their great
bereavement:

death of Miss lone Sherwood, who died at the
Valley House on Tuesday of last week, Of con.
Sumption. The young lady's parents were
residents of Mineral Point, Wis Mrs, and
Miss Sherwood came to Red Cloud fcN
weeks ago with the hope that change Of eli
mate and scenery would prove beneficial tI
the inyalid's health, but in thi, it seems they
were TO be disappointed, as She gradually grew
worse until all hope Of her recovery was giver
up, and her father was tclegTaphcd for, bui
long before he could arhyo the pure spirit o
the once healthy and viyaoious lone had re
turned TO Him who gave it, and the gricf
stricken mother was left TO mourn the loss o
her loved one In q stra2ge land. The dcceasct
was twenty years and four months OF age, The
fourth daughter Of the parents, and the see
oud they have lost within the last cghteer
months. Our heart goes out in sympathy io
the bercayed, and while We know that it i
hard for the parents to be rcconciled to th'
loss Of Il loved one, we hope they may fnt
consolation in knowing that it was the will o
Him who doeth all things well.
The funeral took place last Sabbath after
