"A railroad manager in Detroit has
received from Northern Michigan a
block of solid beech-wood, eight inches
in diameter, which had grown around
the horn of an elk or deer. The horn
penetrated the wood, is firmly imbedded
in it, and shows through from both
sides-the point having originally pro-
jected further outward and now appear
ing as if broken off. Prongs of the horn
also ascend up through the tree, pro-
ducing indentations and scars on the
outer bark. How the horn, which is in
a good state of preservation, became
fixed in the growing tree is mystery,
and the block of wood is veritable Gu
riosity. 1t was not until the block was
split that the presence of the foreign
substance was noticed, the horn resem-
bling a knot in the bark.

rnarEable that we beg to ask for it the at
tention of our readers. He says: "In
the fall OF 1876 I was taken with vio-
lent bleeding of the lungs followed by a
severe cough. | soon besan to lose my

E}e0fh of 10 Centen07iNn.

Peter Bissett, undoubtedly the oldest
man in Wisconsin, died Friday last, June
17tb, 1881, at the home of his son, Captain
John Bssett, in the town of Milford, this
county, at the extraordinary age of 102
years. He WAS born in the Dominion of
Canada, September 18th, 1879. The
deceased participated in the war Of 1912
on the British side and was able to con-
verse with clearness to the last on the
scenes and incidents connected with that
leading event in American history. For
the greater portion of his life he followed
the business of a river pilot. twenty-five
wears ago he came to Wisconsin first set
ting in Whitewater, subsequently residing
in Fond du Lac and for about three years
making his home with his son, Captain
Bissett, where he closed his long, earthly
career. The centenarian had been mar
ried only once, his wife dying some eight
years ago at ripe old age. The couple
had lived together IS years. Three chill
dren of their issue survive, two sons and
one daughter. Mr.. Bissett celebrated his
Tooth birthday at the Jefferson County
fair September, 1879, apd the sprightli-
ness and activity both of his body and
mind on that occasion was a marvel to
everybody. This spring our aged friend
cut ten new teeth which he was able to
use to advantage with his good appetite
and at the same time his eyesight i'm
proved and was better than it had been
for years before. He had been ailing, but
not seriously, for three weeks pre-
vious to his demise and he passed to the
other shore, calmly and apparently with
out pain. The body of Mr.. Bissett was
taken on the day of his death to Fond
du Lac, his former home, for interment.
Since writing the above we have re-
ceived the following additional facts con-
nected with the life of Mr.. Bissett. He
was born at Shamblee, Lower Canada.
When IS years of age he went on voy-
age of 5 years in the country of the
North West Fur Company, then inhabit-
ed by Indians. When he returned he
hired out as teamster in the war of
1912. At the close of the war he return
ed home and was married to Miss Margar-
ct Met, of Quebec, and they had 13 chill
dren born to them, IS grand children
and 115 great-grand children. Saturday
morning, June 18th, the funeral of the
deceased was held at the Catholic Church
at Fond du Lac, of which Father Dale
is pastor, and the services were largely at
tended.

DIR. W. G. Spalding of this city last
week received d commission from Gov.
Smith as surgeon of the fourth battalion,
Wisconsin militia, composed of the Wa
tertown, Madison, Portage and Beaver
Dam companies. We know whereof we
speak when we say the Doctor is a pretty
hard man to "play off, on, and the man
who gets excused from duty will have to
produce a tongue on which there is a
coat as thick as door mat A good one
which may be related in this connection
is told on the surgeon and assistant sur
geon of the Goth regiment, by VIM. Som
merfeld, hospital stewart ofthe regiment,
who prepared the prescriptions of the
doctors. Mr.. Sommerfield tells the story
that as soon as he found out the doctor
who was to attend the surgeons call he
always knew the kind of medicine that
would be in demand, and often took
time by the forelock by having it prepar-
ed in advance. For instance las soon as
he saw the majestic form of DR.. Spalding
making its way towards the squad of sick
men who had been marched up for their
rations of medicine, he would fall to and
make up a quantity Of powders, and
when it was the assistants morning he
varied the programme and made up a
pile of pills. Once in a while the pre-
scriptions would vary little from the
stereotyed ones in few particulars, but
he made the prepared medicine answer.
And men died and got we'll about the
same in the Goth regiment as in other
regiments Notwithstanding they were Civ
en- powders one day and pills the next.

DR. B0rbey.'s fEovSc Fost2sti.

Last week THURSDAY Dr. NJ. n. BaIer
got word from young nan who us@d to
work around his stables that tbe horse
which was stolen from his barlfa year ago
last January was in Chicago. The Doctor
Immediately took the train for the wick
ed city, and upon arriving therein, iii COM
pany with the young man, made his way
to where the horse was owned. There was
his horse sure enough, and the doctor
says that the recognition was mutual.
The horse smelled OF and iondled
him with his nose as II he had found a
long lost friend The man who had the
horse in ais possession was butcher and
claimed to have bought the horse of a
horse doctor, who bore q somewhat doubt
full reputation, about fifteen months ago.
The butcher no doubt came honestly
enough by the horse but it is thought
that the horse doctor knew the horse to
be stolen property, at least, if indeed he
was net IN cOlI0SlOu VIII JIG tllltfGS.
The horse was put in charge ofthe police,
and on the Both OF this mouth DR.. Barber
will re- GIVE his stolen property upon
satisfactory showing that the animal be-
longs to him, which he can do with very
little effort. The Chicago police have
hopes OF getting the carriage and other
property that was taken at the same time,
and also entertain some hopes ofsecuring
the thieves. 1t viii be remembered that
the horse, and carriage, harness, and
lap robes were stolen from DR. BARRIERS
barn on the night of the 3rd day of Jan
uary, 1880, that the property could be
traced no further than few steps from
the barn, and that no reliable information
could be obtained as 10 the direction the
thieves had taken beyond the report OF
one of our citizens who thought he met
the rig between here and IXonia the
night the property was stolen.
