to be returned and exchanged. Ten
days or two weeks, he thought,

ROBBED IN GALENA. Christopher
Billiugmaun, of Elizabeth, went to
Galena, one day last week, INDUCED
pretty freely in beer, and in the
evening he went to sleep in o chair
on the sidewalk fronting the market
square. When he awoke which was
about 9 o'clock in the evening, he
claimed to have been robbed Of the
snug little sum OF $4,000. He stat
ed that he was making arrangements
to commence business in Dubuque
at manufacturing spruce beer, and
drew the above sum out OF one Of
tae Galena banks to invest in the
business. The police force have
been looking into the affair, but can
find no evidence of the robbery OK
cept Billingmann's statement. In
quiry at the banks failed to show
that he had drawn any money from
any Of these institutions. The story
Of the robbery looks little fishy,
and still it may be true, as Billing
mann is possessed Of means, and
often carries large sums in his pock-
els. He was seen during the day in
the company OF q we'll known Galena
character who would not hesitate to
rob him il opportunity offered.

MINERAL POINT HOLDS HER OWN.
-Croakers are apprehensive for the
future of our city, aud without
knowledge of or enquirins into
facts, are heard to assert that Min-
eral Point is not the business town
it formerly was. For the informa-
tion of such, and for all whom it
may concern, we have taken some
pains to enquire among our business
men, and find the general verdict to
be that the volume Of business done
here for the first six months Of
1881 to erceed that for the same
months Of any precious year. Never
have our merchants aud mechanics
more generally reported satisfactory
business aud been more fully en-
ployed than this year, and never
was there more encouragement to
hope for q good fall and winter trade
than at present. True our mining
interest has dwindled to almost
nothing, but for every "diggings'
abandoned within the last ton years
farm has been opened, and no one
will dispute that even o small farm
produces more wealth and contrib
utes more substantial aid to tho up
building Of a town to which Il is
tributary than two or three Of ths
average "diggings" Of the lead
region OF Wisconsin. Twenty or
thirty years ago, Mineral Point was
the market and business center of Z
territory 20 to 80 miles square, to-
day, and TOR the future she il the
market Of only about half that ter
ritory. But within the less territory
Of to-day is more wealth, more pop
ulation, more employment and more
room for business than In former
years.
Il were foolish and unnecessary to
pretend that great future Is In
store for Mineral Point, or TO antic-
ipste any considerable growth OF
business or population. But that
she will ever be rs now, substau.
tial, healthy city, supp orting in COM
fort q population OF 1900 or more
OF as happy, hospitable people y
arc to be found anywhere, and the
business center Of . rich and pros.
porous farming district.

recent Saturday night, some sinner
stole two chickens from the coop OF
Rev. Amidab Bledso, of the Galveston
Colored Blue Light Tabernacle, and the
next day the reverend gentleman arose
and preached most powerful sermon
against the sin of stealing chickens and
promised everlasting torment to the
man who stole his two chickens. Early
Monday morning Jim Webster called
at the pastors residence with scared
face and some poultry. He said: "Par-
son BLedso, dat ar sermon most scared

TURNED INTO ALIENs.-Tho new
Constitution is hard on election officers
who perpetrate frauds at the polls.
We notice that the Judge and Inspect
ors of the eighteenth division Of the
thirty fourth ward in Philadelphia,
who were arrested soon after the last
February election for having returned
but thirty votes for Mayor King, when
it was proven in court that over forty
persons had voted for him. After q
trial of nearly two days, one Of the
Observation-Disclosures convicted.
The rest of the board were unaware
that a fraud had been committed,
Judge Ludlow asked MoKane if he
had anything to say as to the persons
whoinduced him to commit the offence,
to which McKane replied that no one
induced him to do anything. The
prisoner vas then sentenced to an i'm,
prisonment of nine months and to pay
a fine of 500 and disabled for seven
years from holding any position Of
honor, trust and profit in the Common.
wealth, and from voting at any general
or special election. The scoundrel is
therefore an alien to the Common.
wealth for seven years, Rather severe
for freeman But right.
