The Lancaster Herald says that the
matrimonial mash" mentioned by it
in connection with the name of friend
Law, of Mineral Point last week, is
but fiction of the nfi' and rs base
less and flimsy as fabric of frost
work. lie says the stO. originated in
the fact that he got i new suit of
clothes. To Offset this suspicious cir
cumStance, he now cladS himself with
out Il coat, going in his shirt sleeves,
and has sacrificed the fine mOuStache
he has habitually worn. Under these
circumstances he will likely remain
single for some time
At about one o'clock Tuesday after
noon, rs Mrs. VIM. L. Henry and her
daughter, Miss Tina, were riding up
High street in a phaeton, their horse
became frightened and ran rapidly up
street. Miss Tina, who was driving,
acted brayely by holding firmly on to |
the lines and keeping the horse straight |
in his course, while Mrs. Henry re-
maintained in the seat by her daughters |
side. The front axle of the phaeton /
broke either before or after the horse
started and the front of the vehicle |
was dragging on the ground striking I
on the horses heels as he ran. A num-
Der of people witnessed the runaway
and attempted to stop the horse, but |
all attempts were unsuccessful until I
ne reached Pulford's drug store, when
VIM. II. PrideauX bravely rushed out /
and seized the horse by the bride, and I
brought him to standstill. The es-
cape of Mrs. Henry and her daughter
seemed providential, and their courage
as well as that of Mr.. PrideauX were
loudly commented upon by all who
witnessed the runaway.
The Platteville Witness thus speaks
of Dr.. Patterson, who has lately locat-
ed i'll this city: SIN a former edition
of the Witness it was announced that
DR.. Patterson had gone to Dodgeville +
to locate. but we are informed that he
did not find satisfactory opening
there and has gone to Mineral Point,
with the intention Of making that
place his home. AS an introduction
and recommendation of Doctor Patter-
son to our neighbors in Mineral Point,
we will say that some years ago he be-
gan the study of medicine with DR..
Cronin of Platteville, and afterwards
his education in Philadal-
phia and Chicago. He located here
three years ago, and was quite success
full in his practice, as number in this
vicinity suffering from chronic dis
eases can testify. He has many warm
friends III Platteyiile, and many OPP
posed his leaving, but this city is bet
ter supplied with old established
physicians than most towns, and Of
course he has. had Il good deal to con-
tend with. We wish him success i'll
his new field"
