Ills sun has set, almost at noon Of dav.
And we had looked to see him further rrasp
sun greener laurels ere he passed away,
And these lie dropping from his ncrycless
clasp.
Dead meath the shadow of the yictor's crown :
With mind to grapplc wrong and plead for
right,
And viii to help the helpless stricken, down
Zen While we're gazing vanished from our
sight.
Dead midst the toll that heart and brain must
share,
When life is measured on the higher plan:
lie felt hie's wrecks were rot beneath his care
And owned In this the brotherhood of man.
That still the wretched Pariahs of our race,
he object scourges smittcn by Fate's rod
Must on the same broad platform take their
place,
And claim with him the iatherhood cf God
Earth's honors perish, they are only heNs
To higher life who make that life their plan,
Thrice honored he whose glorious record
bears,
Beloved OF God because friend to Man"

In the Lincoln (Nebraska) Jo,onol
of the 18th inst, the following mar
riage notice appeared, and being
that of an original "Pointer," Mac.
Cobb, we feel confident that the
readers of this paper will scan it
with relish;
"a very pleasant affair, in which
two of Lincoln's well-known young
people were participants, took place
yesterday morning at the residence
of the brides parents.
The groom is the son of Hon.
Amasa Cobb, Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court of Nebraska
and the bride is the daughter of our
respected citizen, ID. A. Gilbert, Esq.
Both parties are well known in the
city, and are very popular. Mr.. Cobb
is teller in the First National Bank
of this city, and a young man of rare
business and social qualities, while
his bride is one of the prettiest and
most amiable Young ladies in the
city. The event has long been ex.
pected, and is regarded as union
of hearts and hands eminently suita-
BILE to be made.
The ceremony took place in the
double parlors Of Mr. Gibsrt's resi-
dence in the First ward. The rooms
were trimmed in the most beautiful
manner, with festoons Of evergreens
and garlands of flowers; an archway
was formed between the two parlors
and upon that the monogram &C. g.
Under the archway the happy pair
took their places and at 1890 were
speedily made one by the Rev. Lewis
Gregory of the Congregational
Church. Numerous handsome ana
valuable gifts were received by the
happy pair"

THIS morning, about 8 o'clock, j.
P. Keitfer's little girl about four
years old, met with horrible fate
by the unmerciful grasp of the fiery
fiend. The little girl and younger
brother were alone in the kitchen,
the mother having gone to church
and Mr.. Keitfer was out on business.
Fory Wesley, who was back of the
building, saw fire through an open
door, and, giving the alarm, made q
rush for the house only to find the
child enwrapped by the hungry,
greedy flames, and the moisture of
the body simmering. The remnants
of burnt clothing were hastily pulled
off, presenting most Mortified as
pect, the flesh from the knees to the
face being roasted brown. 1t appears
that the child must have been play
ing with the fire in the hearth, and
thus got her clothes caught The
little boy and furniture were unin-
jured, which is to the credit of ready
assistance. Should the little girl
recover it will be q surprise and
pleasure to the whole community.

WITH the coming summer, judg-
ing from present prospects, the
citizens of Dodgeville are likely to
be kept constantly in a feverish
state of railroad agitation. For
instance: Narrow Guage Bald
win, the champion of the propos-
ed Lone Rock, Dodgeville ana
Freeport route, will endeavor to
push the thing through. Of
other propositions and prospects
the Chronicle speaks thus: Calvert
Spensley, Esq, has been in town
this week, talking up the extension
of the Mineral Point road tc this
place. We understand from him
that if Dodgeville will issue the
sec, 1000 of bonds voted to the NJ. p.
II. r. in 1869, that company will
Immediately commence work and
complete its road to this place in
time to move this years crops.
Mr.. V. Bausenwein, chief engineer
of the Wis Central K. r., was also
in town this week, engaged il look
ing up route for the extension Of
that road southwardly from Portage,
to connect with the Illinois Central.
We understand that this company
would prefer to pass east Of here,
crossing the Military Ridge near
West Blue Mounds and following
the East pecatonica to Freeport, but
that route would be very ex-
pensive, a tunnel Of 1900 feet being
necessary in order to cross the ridge
at the proposed point, They would
probably accomplish the desired
southern connection via the Mineral
Point r. r. from Dodgeviile, reach
ing this place via the valleys Of the
Wisconsin river and Mill creek.
And Williams will no doubt bring
his Chicago and Tomah narrow
guage to this place whenever any OF
our other roads are built Gf not
soouer), as this will be his most
natural and feasible outlet to eastern
and southern markets.
